POETIC COMMONPLACE BOOKS and MANUSCRIPTS: Thomas Gray POETIC COMMONPLACE BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS: Thomas Gray POETIC COMMONPLACE BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS OF THOMAS GRAY, 1716-1771 From Pembroke College, Cambridge Contents listing PUBLISHER'S NOTE CONTENTS OF REELS DETAILED LISTING LITERATURE IN CONTEXT: A CHRONOLOGY, c1660- 1825 POETIC COMMONPLACE BOOKS AND MANUSCRIPTS: Thomas Gray Publisher's Note Thomas Gray (1716-1771) made Pembroke College his Cambridge home for sixteen years from 1756 to his death in 1771 having left Peterhouse, where he had graduated, after failing to obtain redress from the college authorities following a student prank. He found the company at Pembroke convivial and in the year following his move, 1757, he completed his famous Odes which were printed by the Strawberry Hill Press and received considerable acclaim. Later in the same year he declined the Poet Laureateship and in the ensuing years he concentrated far more on the study of botany and history, examining and trying his hand at the verse forms of Welsh and Norse poetry and travelling about the country to visit friends. Visits to the Lake District in 1766 and 1769 prompted Gray to write an account of his Tour which was published posthumously in 1775 and did much to draw attention to the natural beauty of that region. In 1768 he co-operated with the publication of the first collected edition of his Poems and accepted the honour of being appointed Regius Professor of Modern History at Cambridge. He delivered no lectures, but did pen his Ode for Music to mark the installation of the Duke of Grafton as the Chancellor of the University of Cambridge. Gray died in his rooms at Pembroke on the 30th July 1771, having been taken ill at dinner in hall six nights before. He was buried in the church yard at Stoke Poges which he had celebrated in his Elegy, written between 1742 and 1750. He shared a vault with his mother and aunt who had been laid to rest there some years before. By the terms of his will, Gray left all of his “books, manuscripts, coins, music, printed or written, and papers of all kinds” to his friend, the Reverend William Mason, Precentor of York and a Fellow at Pembroke “to preserve or destroy at his own discretion”. Fortunately, Mason chose to preserve for the most part and the papers helped him to compile The Poems of Mr Gray, to which are prefixed Memoirs of his Life and Writings by W Mason (York, 1775). The papers were subsequently passed to Richard Stonehewer, a friend of Gray, who presented the Commonplace Book to Pembroke. The remainder then passed to John Bright, a relative of Stonehewer, who had them sold at four auctions (Evans, 1845; and Sotheby’s, 1847, 1851 and 1854). As a result of the sales, many of Gray’s manuscripts were dispersed, but many also arrived back at Pembroke which can justly claim to have the most important collection of Gray’s manuscripts and books in the world. This collection is now published in its entirety for the first time. Pride of place must go to the Commonplace Book, bound in three large volumes, which Margaret M Smith, editor of the Index of English Literary Manuscripts Vol III, 1700-1800. Part 2 (Gay-Phillips), (Mansell, London, 1989), describes as “the single most important repository of Gray’s autograph verse and prose”. It was started by Gray in about 1736 when he was an undergraduate at Cambridge with Horace Walpole. It was compiled following John Locke’s recommendations, including notes and essays under all manner of headings, poems written by Gray and copies of verse that he admired, lists of books owned and read, and indexes. It was continued for the whole period of his literary career and Mason added transcripts of additional poems after Gray’s death. It covers the three years, 1738-1740, when Gray travelled across Europe with Horace Walpole, visiting Paris, Rheims, Geneva and much of Italy. A highlight was the crossing of the Alps which impressed Gray deeply. “Not a precipice, not a torrent, not a cliff, but is pregnant with religion and poetry”. It covers the period of his first poetic output in 1741, the death of his friend and poet Richard West, Gray’s fruitful sojourn in Stoke Poges, his fame with the Elegy, his return to Cambridge and his latter-day work on English, Welsh and Nordic poetry. The volumes include important autograph versions of the Elegy Written in a Country Church Yard (much revised, with the “Redbreast” stanza and notes), the Eton Ode (here entitled “Ode on a Prospect of Windsor, and the adjacent Country, in 1743”), the Ode on the Death of a Favourite Cat (“who fell into a China-Tub with Gold-fishes in it and was drown’d”), the Ode on Spring, and the Ode to Adversity. The volumes also include his transcriptions of poems by Walpole and Richard West, and numerous translations from the Greek and Latin classics by Gray. Also Essays on “the use of Rhyme”, “Norman Architecture”, and on Greek Literature and Philosophy, as well as notes on geography, natural history and English Metre. The detailed list of contents provides a description of further contents. Additional, loose manuscripts held at Pembroke provide versions of another 11 of his poems and supplement the Commonplace Book with further prose writings such as his Latin Essays, notes on Roman history, notes on Melpomene, Muse of Tragedy, and on marriages. Two diaries include observations in the later period of his life in 1755-6 and 1760, making notes on callers and events, book purchases, natural catastrophes, his own health and the progress of flora. The annotated volumes from his library reveal much about his reading habits and his interests. Johnson remarked “that his mind had a large grasp; that his curiosity was unlimited, and his judgement cultivated”. In the words of Mason “There was hardly any part of human learning in which he had not acquired a competent skill, in most of them a consummate mastery”. The volumes include the Selected Remains of the Learned John Ray, Bergeron’s Voyages faits principalement en Asie dans les XII, XIII, XIV et XV siecles, Pennant’s British Zoology, Miller’s Gardener’s Dictionary, and further works concerning glaciers, British history, zoology, botany, geography and voyages of discovery. Taken together, these sources allow for a thorough examination of Gray’s development as a poet and prose writer and help us to understand his many influences, as well as providing insights into his accomplishments as a scholar and into his views on such subjects as poetry, travel and natural beauty. This Guide provides both a brief listing of Contents of Reels (for quick reference) and a detailed list giving a breakdown of the major items included within the Commonplace Book. We have also provided a substantial chronology for the period from 1660 to c1825 which attempts to place English Literature in the broad context of European Literature, British and World History and major scientific and artistic achievements. For Gray (whose references appear in bold in the chronology) it illustrates his relationship to those who influenced him, his contemporaries, and those who he influenced. It is hoped that it will prove to be of value. Special thanks must go to Clive Trebilcock, Fellow and Librarian, Pembroke College, Cambridge, for his comments on this guide, and to all of the Library staff at Pembroke, for their help in preparing this project.

Department of The University of British Columbia, Vancouver 8, Canada. Date JjiMZ^kA- ^,/»^' ABSTRACT An examination of Samuel Johnson*s essays and his tragedy, Irene, and his Oriental tale, Rasselas, reveals that his concept of womanhood and his views on the education of woman and her role in society amount to a thorough-going criticism of the established views of eighteenth-century society. His views are in advance of those of his age. Johnson viewed the question of woman with that same practical good sense which he had brought to bear on literary criticism. It was important he said "to distinguish nature from custom: or that which is established because it was right, from that which is right only because it is established." Johnson thought that, so far as women were concerned, custom had dictated views and attitudes which reason denied.

  • A Note on Thomas Gray's Elegy
    A NOTE ON THOMAS GRAY'S ELEG Y By CHUJI MIYASHITA* I Reading Thomas Gray's poems and letters in chronological order,1 when I came to the Elegy written in a Country Church- Ya7~d (1751), I was deeply impressed that something that had been long troubling him in the innermost part of his mind was finally settled when he wrote the poem. What was the something that troubled him ? What sufferings did the Elegy settle ? Needless to say the Elegy is one of the most important works in eighteenth century English literature. There is no history of English literature that does not make any comment on the poem, and we have a number of critical essays and monographs on it. Yet most of the literary historians, though understanding the importance of the poem in the history of English poetry, stop explaining their appreciation and criticism halfway. They admire the fine descriptions of the English evening scene, the feeling towards the fate of death common to all people, the grand style with its dignified and sonorous rhythm of iambic pentameter and apt imageries ; then they turn their attention to the melancholic emotion implied in the poem, and to the democratic thought hinted in the notion that death falls on everybody, rich and poor, high and low, which prematurely reflects the transition of thought in the English society at the time ; until at last they almost unanimously go back to the famous observation of Dr. Johnson : "In the character of his Elegy I rejoice to concur with the common reader ; for by the common sense of readers uncorrupted with literary prejudices, after all the refinements of subtlety and the dogmatism of learning, must be finally decided all claim to poetical hon- ours.

  • John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal
    John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal Ágnes Juhász-Ormsby The Episcopal Library of St. John’s is among the few nineteenth- century libraries that survive in their original setting in the Atlantic provinces, and the only one in Newfoundland and Labrador.1 It was established by John Thomas Mullock (1807–69), Roman Catholic bishop of Newfoundland and later of St. John’s, who in 1859 offered his own personal collection of “over 2500 volumes as the nucleus of a Public Library.” The Episcopal Library in many ways differs from the theological libraries assembled by Mullock’s contemporaries.2 When compared, for example, to the extant collection of the Catholic bishop of Victoria, Charles John Seghers (1839–86), whose life followed a similar pattern to Mullock’s, the division in the founding collection of the Episcopal Library between the books used for “private” as opposed to “public” theological study becomes even starker. Seghers’s books showcase the customary stock of a theological library with its bulky series of manuals of canon law, collections of conciliar and papal acts and bullae, and practical, dogmatic, moral theological, and exegetical works by all the major authors of the Catholic tradition.3 In contrast to Seghers, Mullock’s library, although containing the constitutive elements of a seminary library, is a testimony to its found- er’s much broader collecting habits. Mullock’s books are not restricted to his philosophical and theological studies or to his interest in univer- sal church history. They include literary and secular historical works, biographies, travel books, and a broad range of journals in different languages that he obtained, along with other necessary professional 494 newfoundland and labrador studies, 32, 2 (2017) 1719-1726 John Thomas Mullock: What His Books Reveal tools, throughout his career.

  • The Church Militant: the American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92
    The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.

Philosophical aesthetics flourishes in the period because of its strong affinities with the tendencies of the age. ‘Aesthetics’ is derived from the Greek word for ‘senses’, because . a science of the beautiful would be a science of the sensible, a science of sensible cognition. The Enlightenment also enthusiastically embraces the discovery and disclosure of rational order in nature . It seems to many theorists in the Enlightenment that the faculty of taste, the faculty by which we discern beauty, reveals to us some part of this order, a distinctive harmony, unities amidst variety. Thus, in the phenomenon of aesthetic pleasure, human sensibility discloses to us rational order, thus binding together two enthusiasms of the Enlightenment.” (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/enlightenment/#BeaAesEnl) p. 167 London coffee houses: https://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/English-Coffeehouses-Penny-Universities/ p. 198 Literary salons: https://www.britannica.com/topic/Bluestocking-British-literary-society Writers Orlando glimpses and/or encounters: John Dryden (d. 1700)—poet (first poet laureate of England), literary critic, translator, playwright, who dominated the literary world of the Restoration.

  • Patrick Henry
    LIBERTY UNIVERSITY PATRICK HENRY: THE SIGNIFICANCE OF HARMONIZED RELIGIOUS TENSIONS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE HISTORY DEPARTMENT IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY BY KATIE MARGUERITE KITCHENS LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA APRIL 1, 2010 Patrick Henry: The Significance of Harmonized Religious Tensions By Katie Marguerite Kitchens, MA Liberty University, 2010 SUPERVISOR: Samuel Smith This study explores the complex religious influences shaping Patrick Henry’s belief system. It is common knowledge that he was an Anglican, yet friendly and cooperative with Virginia Presbyterians. However, historians have yet to go beyond those general categories to the specific strains of Presbyterianism and Anglicanism which Henry uniquely harmonized into a unified belief system. Henry displayed a moderate, Latitudinarian, type of Anglicanism. Unlike many other Founders, his experiences with a specific strain of Presbyterianism confirmed and cooperated with these Anglican commitments. His Presbyterian influences could also be described as moderate, and latitudinarian in a more general sense. These religious strains worked to build a distinct religious outlook characterized by a respect for legitimate authority, whether civil, social, or religious. This study goes further to show the relevance of this distinct religious outlook for understanding Henry’s political stances. Henry’s sometimes seemingly erratic political principles cannot be understood in isolation from the wider context of his religious background. Uniquely harmonized

Written by naval official Archibald Campbell, this pamphlet features Apollo and Mercury conducting an auction among booksellers for the premier writers of the day, including James Macpherson, John Wilkes, Charles Churchill, and Thomas Gray. With its magnified sense of poets' powerlessness in the commercialized literary culture of midcentury England, Campbell's text seems a typical attack on the vigorously expanding book trade. Yet while satirizing the transforma tion of writers into commodities, and over-emphasizing the dimin ished social stature that accompanies this change, Campbell manages to capture with some accuracy the defining features of Gray's literary career.

Unfolding Verse: Poetry As Correspondence In Early Modern England Abstract This project recovers a forgotten history of Renaissance poetry as mail. At a time when trends in English print publication and manuscript dissemination were making lyric verse more accessible to a reading public than ever before, writers and correspondents created poetic objects designed to reach individual postal recipients. Drawing on extensive archival research, “Unfolding Verse” examines versions of popular poems by John Donne, Ben Jonson, Mary Wroth, and others which look little like “literature.” Rather, these verses bear salutations, addresses, folds, wax seals, and other signs of transmission through the informal postal networks of early modern England. Neither verse letters nor “epistles,” the textual artifacts I call “letter-poems” proclaim their participation in a widespread social
