Soho Depicted: Prints, Drawings and Watercolours of Matthew Boulton, His Manufactory and Estate, 1760-1809

ABSTRACT This thesis explores the ways in which the industrialist Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) used images of his manufactory and of himself to help develop what would now be considered a ‘brand’. The argument draws heavily on archival research into the commissioning process, authorship and reception of these depictions. Such information is rarely available when studying prints and allows consideration of these images in a new light but also contributes to a wider debate on British eighteenth-century print culture. The first chapter argues that Boulton used images to convey messages about the output of his businesses, to draw together a diverse range of products and associate them with one site. Chapter two explores the setting of the manufactory and the surrounding estate, outlining Boulton’s motivation for creating the parkland and considering the ways in which it was depicted. -

W. S. Gilbert & a Classic in Humour
W. S. GILBERT A MID-VICTORIAN ARISTOPHANES BY EDITH HAMILTON & THE ENGLISH ARISTOPHANES BY WALTER SICHEL & A CLASSIC IN HUMOUR BY MAX BEERBOHM Edited 2011 by David Trutt Los Angeles, California, USA email: [email protected] Web Site: www.haddon-hall.com 2 INTRODUCTION Included herein are two lengthy essays which seek to relate the Victorian comic playwright W. S. Gilbert to the Greek comic poet Aristophanes. Aristophanes lived from about 450 BC to 385 BC, mostly under the shadow of the Peloponnesian War between Greece and Sparta, which eventually led to the downfall of Greece. He was the most celebrated writer of what is known as Old Comedy and the only one whose plays have survived in more than fragmentary form. Aristophanes is credited with writing at least forty plays, of which eleven have survived to the present. One critic states that “Savoy opera captures some of Aristophanes’ mingling of topsy- turvy fantasy and tripping rhythm. But in sheer poetic invention Aristophanes’ lacks a real successor.” This critic considers Aristophanes a master satirist, but the two authors, Edith Hamilton and Walter Sichel make a distinction between satire and irony. They claim that the plays of Aristophanes and Gilbert were displays of masterful irony; further they claim that in this genre Gilbert is on the same high level as Aristophanes. As Sichel writes, “Both Aristophanes and Gilbert were pure ironists. Direct satire maps out the country which it invades, but irony is always on the confines of ambiguous territory. As we survey its inhabitants they seem to be in perpetual somersaults — and yet they are always standing on their feet.” AND “That is Gilbert’s irony. -
Precious Nonsense
Precious Nonsense NEWSLETTER OF THE MIDWESTERN GILBERT AND SULLIVAN SOCIETY October 1992 -- Issue 35 -------------------------- If such symptoms you find In your body or head, They're not easy to quell-- You may make up your mind You are better in bed, For you're not at all well! Well, S/A Cole bummed it again. She noticed in the conclusion of the last Nosnense she said a lot of things would happen, barring any disasters. She should stop saying that, because, when she does, she invariably gets disasters. This summer has probably been the most busy, and the most annoying summer of her life, and she is only now starting to go through the boxes of things to put in the Nonsense. In August, every expensive thing she owned that started with a "C" broke (the computer lost its memory, the cat got sick, and the car needed a bypass operation) except her CD player (which had broken in June), and by the time they were all fixed, she broke. She started September off by getting the flu, and has only now seemed to have shaken it. But so much for excuses. We'll certainly try to do better in the future. In the meantime, she still has to go through the responses to the Big Quiz and the drawing from the returned address corrections, and there are no Iolanthe analyses this time around, but the Big Quiz answers are here, along with what has gone on in G&S lately, and what is expected to happen, plus Carol Cole's report of what took place at the Annual Outing. -

Social Discourse in the Savoy Theatre's
SOCIAL DISCOURSE IN THE SAVOY THEATRE’S PRODUCTIONS OF THE NAUTCH GIRL (1891) AND UTOPIA LIMITED (1893): EXOTICISM AND VICTORIAN SELF-REFLECTION William L. Hicks, B.M. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2003 APPROVED: John Michael Cooper, Major Professor Margaret Notley, Committee Member Mark McKnight, Committee Member James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Hicks, William L, Social Discourse in the Savoy Theatre’s Productions of The Nautch Girl (1891) and Utopia Limited (1893): Exoticism and Victorian Self-Reflection. Master of Music (Musicology), August 2003, 107 pp., 4 illustrations, 12 musical examples, references, 91 titles. As a consequence to Gilbert and Sullivan’s famed Carpet Quarrel, two operettas with decidedly “exotic” themes, The Nautch Girl; or, The Rajah of Chutneypore, and Utopia Limited; or, The Flowers of Progress were presented to London audiences. Neither has been accepted as part of the larger Savoy canon. This thesis considers the conspicuous business atmosphere of their originally performed contexts to understand why this situation arose. Critical social theory makes it possible to read the two documents as overt reflections on British imperialism. Examined more closely, however, the operettas reveal a great deal more about the highly introverted nature of exotic representation and the ambiguous dialogue between race and class hierarchies in late nineteenth-century British society. Copyright, 2003 by William L. Hicks ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Because of the obscurity of The Nautch Girl and Utopia Limited, I am greatly indebted to the booksellers Christopher Browne and Wilfred M. -

Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century A Catalogue D. W. Bebbington Professor of History, University of Stirling The catalogue that follows contains biographical data on the Unitarians who sat in the House of Commons during the nineteenth century. The main list, which includes ninety-seven MPs, is the body of evidence on which the paper on „Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century‟ is based. The paper discusses the difficulty of identifying who should be treated as a Unitarian, the criterion chosen being that the individual appears to have been a practising adherent of the denomination at the time of his service in parliament. A supplementary list of supposed Unitarian MPs, which follows the main list, includes those who have sometimes been identified as Unitarians but who by this criterion were not and some who may have been affiliated to the denomination but who were probably not. The borderline is less sharp than might be wished, and, when further research has been done, a few in each list may need to be transferred to the other. Each entry contains information in roughly the same order. After the name appear the dates of birth and death and the period as an MP. Then a paragraph contains general biographical details drawn from the sources indicated at the end of the entry. A further paragraph discusses religious affiliation and activities. Unattributed quotations with dates are from Dod’s Parliamentary Companion, as presented in Who’s Who of British Members of Parliament.
