  • “That Unhappy War of Yours”: Eight Letters from Samuel Laurence to Old Friends in New York City, 1861–1875
    “That unhappy War of yours”: Eight Letters from Samuel Laurence to Old Friends in New York City, 1861–1875 DAVID SOUTHERN Samuel Laurence (circa 1850) Photograph by Anthony Coningham Sterling Copyright © National Portrait Gallery, London AMUEL LAURENCE (1812–84), A PORTRAIT ARTIST WHO SPECIALIZED in literary figures both British and American, was possibly Sborn in Guildford, Surrey, beyond which, at least until recently, nothing was known of his parentage, his education, or any signal events from his formative years, except that at some point he changed the spelling of his last name from Lawrence. CSA 24 2008 6 CARLYLE STUDIES ANNUAL He first exhibited his work in London in 1834 and moved easily in circles of London literati. On 10 August 1836, at All Soul’s Church, Marylebone, he married Anastasia Gliddon, cousin and adopted sister of Katherine Gliddon and sister-in-law of Thornton Leigh Hunt. Perhaps as early as 1840 and certainly by 1844, the Laurences were participants in a “Bohemian Phalanstery” modeled upon the utopian philosophy of Charles Fourier (1772–1837), and it included Thornton and Katherine Hunt, George Henry Lewes, and Mary Ann Evans.1 James Spedding likely introduced Laurence to the Carlyles (see CL 29: 355), and at least ten letters to him from Thomas Carlyle (TC) and one from Jane Welsh Carlyle (JWC) can be found in the New York Public Library (Ray collection), the National Library of Scotland (NLS), the University of California Library, Santa Cruz (Strouse collection), and the Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections at Duke University’s Perkins Library. To a letter from TC to his sister Jean Aitken, 6 July 1838, JWC added this piquant postscript: “—only think Carlyle is to have his picture taken again this time by an artist of genius—if it succeeds I mean to buy it of the man[.] It was I formerly that used to be asked to sit for pictures but every dog has its day” (CLO).

  • Secularism/Atheism/ Agnosticism
    CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR SECULARISM/ATHEISM/ AGNOSTICISM Vincent P. Pecora ecularism, atheism, and agnosticism belong to what Ludwig Wittgenstein called Sa “family” of ideas, yet are etymologically distinct. Two of the terms—agnosticism and secularism—are coinages of later nineteenth-century Britain, though their linguistic roots are much older. At least in Western Europe and Russia, the fi n de siècle produced a questioning of theism unlike anything that had come before. The dominant religious attitude among late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century intellectuals had been deism, the assumption that God existed but was absent from human affairs. Some deists could have been called atheists or agnostics, had the latter term been available. But deism covered, as it were, a multitude of sins between theism and atheism, and provided a useful way of avoiding deeper theological controversy. It was a perspective inspired by Galileo’s astronomy, Isaac Newton’s mechanics, the Reformation’s rejection of miracles and the papacy, and the acknowledgment after the voyages of discovery of a larger and less savage array of religious practices than anyone had previously imagined. Deism was the shared theology of the Enlightenment, from the Scottish sentimental moralists and French encyclopédistes to the American founders and the German Romantic philosophers. By contrast, the European nineteenth century unfolded in the idealistic but threatening shadow of the French Revolution, which was nothing if not virulently anti-clerical. Whether one celebrated its humanist, republican ideals with nationalist revolutionaries, or feared its anarchic violence, as did supporters of the old regimes, the French Revolution and Napoleon’s attempt at a new European order presaged a liberated and Promethean but also unregulated and disorderly future.

  • Contemporary Reviews of Middlemarch
    C-BACK-1 10/01/2015 9:29 AM Page 678 Review Copy Appendix B: Contemporary Reviews of Middlemarch 1. From Edward Dowden, “George Eliot,” Contemporary Review 20 (August 1872): 403-22 [In this appreciative essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar of the day, the main interest in GE’s novels is not her vivid characters but, rather, the remarkable nar- rative voice in her fiction, what Dowden calls her “second self.” The dominating presence of the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) sug- gests where her contemporaries thought GE belonged in the context of European ideas. The contemporary reception of the novel, as represented by this and the reviews that follow, tells us a great deal about the Victorian world of ideas and the intellectual, aesthetic, and ethical investments of GE’s critics.] When we have passed in review the works of that great writer who calls herself George Eliot, and given for a time our use of sight to her portraitures of men and women, what form, as we move away, persists on the field of vision, and remains the chief centre of interest for the imagination? The form not of Tito, or Maggie, or Dinah, or Silas, but of one who, if not the real George Eliot, is that “second self” who writes her books, and lives and speaks through them. Such a second self of an author is perhaps more substantial than any mere human per- sonality encumbered with the accidents of flesh and blood and daily living. It stands at some distance from the primary self, and differs considerably from its fellow.

    Robert H. Tener THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING HUTTON ANYONE WHO DEVOTES considerable time to the study of a minor literary figure prob­ ably feels the need to justify his work. I would certainly not except myself, for I have often observed a response of blank unrecognition when I inform scholars that I am engaged in research on Richard Holt Hutton. And since this response is fre­ quently enough exhibited by specialists in Victorian literature, I feel that I owe them some information, if not an explanation. More positively, I am convinced that Hutton has been undeservedly neglected, and that an indication of his importance is therefore overdue. One method of suggesting the significance of a critic is to show how he has been regarded by those whose opinions we can respect. It is this method that I employ here. I consider two main bodies of opinion on Hutton's dual functions of editor and critic: the views of his contemporaries, and then the attitudes of more recent writers. For thirty-six years from 1861 to 1897 Hutton was co-proprietor and literary editor of the weekly Spectator. When his colleague, Meredith Townsend, purchased the paper early in 1861 he acquired a depressed property. But though the Spectator's championship of the North during the American Civil War further jeopardized circulation, by the end of the war the paper had recovered its ground, and thereafter moved from strength to strength.1 The stages of its growing readership and influ­ ence can be traced in contemporary opinion. William Cory, for instance, in a letter to a friend on February 1, 1863, wrote: ..
