It begins quite strongly, painting a solid picture of the Methodists' perspective on the early nineteenth century, but once the sisters marry, the focus Agnes Poynter and Louisa Baldwin to shift more to Agnes Poynter and Louisa Baldwin men and their achievements. Two of the sisters retire to their beds as professional invalids, and nearly disappear: though Flanders warns of this in the introduction, I thought that meant there would be some digging into why, but as the book progressed, this seemed more of an excuse for leaving them out. By the end, the book is a somewhat tangled recitation of what all the descendants did, and some authorial judgments slipped in; the men have overshadowed the women. I could have used more quotations of the sisters' voices and fewer rhetorical questions, but overall, a pleasant read. Purportedly about the Macdonald sisters who married Edward Burne-Jones, Poynter, and the fathers of Kipling, and Stanley Baldwin, this was more about their husbands and sons than about themselves. In fact two of the sisters Georgiana Burne-Jones to spend most of their lives on their sick beds. There was, however, some interesting social history of the Victorian period, but the style was leaden and there was a sense that the author was determined to include all her research however tenuous.

Of these, the four daughters who married all had husbands or sons of import, and are supposedly the focus of this book. I say supposedly because pages go by without one of them being mentioned. The vast majority of this book is actually about their various relations. From the first to the last the four sisters get A Circle of Sisters: Alice Kipling little attention, and in fact I came Georgiana Burne-Jones with only a vague understanding of Georgie Burne-J Georgiana Burne-Jones poor family headed by a Methodist minister had five surviving daughters and two sons. From the first to the last the four sisters get very little attention, and in fact I came away with only a vague understanding of Georgie Burne-Jones and the rest remained cyphers. After the daughters marry and start having children, they fall out of the narrative almost entirely and the book becomes more and more disorganized and scattered. Bad enough that the ostensible focus of the book is nearly ignored, but the various children and grandchildren receive very variable amounts of attention--I felt that about half this book was about Rudyard Kipling, whereas three-time Prime Minister of Britain Stan Baldwin gets literally two paragraphs to summarize his entire political career. And, icing on my hate-cake, the author has the strangest interpretations of letters and happenings that I have ever seen. She decides upon the nastiest interpretation every single time. See my status updates for examples. I am an avid reader of Flanders's work, and while I found this biography of the four sisters well-researched, I do feel that it is not her best work. Like many of the other reviewers, I found that the sisters who were ostensibly the subjects of the biography seemed to drop out of the narrative far too often, with the focus invariably turning to the husbands and children, rather than staying fixed on the women. That said, the book is clearly well-researched, with the author always willing to flag I am an avid reader of Flanders's work, and while I found this biography of the four sisters well-researched, I do feel that it is not her best work. That said, A Circle of Sisters: Alice Kipling book is clearly well- researched, with the author always willing Georgiana Burne-Jones flag up where there are gaps in the understanding due to the lack of source materials, sometimes because those source materials such as letters, for example have been destroyed by the family members. While the book contains a lot of interesting information, the narrative style can be a little challenging, and with a vast family A Circle of Sisters: Alice Kipling contend with, it sometimes became very difficult to keep track of who was who - the family tree at the start of the book was a useful and essential addition in that respect. All in all, while I A Circle of Sisters: Alice Kipling really loved her other books, this one was good, but not compelling. Mar 06, Liz rated it really liked it. It was interesting reading about A Circle of Sisters: Alice Kipling large, extended family. The book ends with a quote from one of the great grand children which I think is great: "If they were inspiring people, they were also appallingly demanding. They were, in fact, the sort of Agnes Poynter and Louisa Baldwin that one would perhaps rather read about than belong to. Jan 13, Patcholi added it. Wonderfully written and researched. Very insightful. The only reason Agnes Poynter and Louisa Baldwin it took me a certain time to finish this book is that I found the people portrayed in it to be so objectionable and unsympathetic albeit fascinating. Aug 03, Leonie rated it liked it Shelves: nonfictionnineteenth-century. The subject matter was interesting enough, and the writing wasn't devoid of entertainment, Agnes Poynter and Louisa Baldwin this was a little disappointing. Part of the problem is that this claims to be a biography of four sisters. It is more a biography of a much wider family milieu and Agnes and Louisa in A Circle of Sisters: Alice Kipling get very little space indeed. This possibly means that the project is a little misconceived and not all the sisters actually did much and there just isn't the material.

  • The Carrington Extracts
    THE CARRINGTON EXTRACTS CUMULATIVE INDEX – PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS – TO 1910 (INCLUSIVE) This index has been compiled straight from the text of the ‘Extracts’. In listing the movements, particularly of Kipling and his family, it is not always clear when who went where and when. Thus, “R. to Academy dinner” clearly refers to Kipling himself going alone to the dinner (as, indeed would have been the case – it was, in the 1890s, a men-only affair). But “Amusing dinner, Mr. Rhodes’s” probably refers to both of them going, and has been included as an entry under both Kipling, Caroline, and Kipling, Rudyard. There are many other similar events. And there are entries recording that, e.g., “Mrs. Kipling leaves”, without any indication of when she had come – but if it’s not in the ‘Extracts’ (though it may well have been in the original diaries) then, of course, it has not been possible to index it. The date given is the date of the diary entry which is not always the date of the event. Another factor is that Carrington quite often mentions a name without further explanation or identification. We assume that he recorded it, with a view to mentioning the subject in the text of the biography, but either changed his mind or edited it out for some reason. In some cases, later biographers have picked up the reference, and explained it. In those cases, we have gratefully recorded their identification.

  • Rudyard Kipling Was Born on December 30, 1865 at Bombay
    Rudyard Kipling was born on December 30, 1865 at Bombay, India, where his father, John Lockwood Kipling, himself an artist, was principal of the Jeejeebyhoy Art School. His mother, Alice Macdonald Kipling, had three sisters who married well: among his uncles young Rudyard there were famous painters such as Sir Edward Burne-Jones (one of the most important of the Pre-Raphaelites) and Sir Edward Poynter but also Stanley Baldwin, a future Prime Minister, and these family members were to be of great importance in Kipling's life. The first six years of his life in India were happy ones but in 1871 the Kipling family returned to England. After six months John and Alice Kipling returned to India, leaving six-year old Rudyard and his three-year-old sister with the Holloway family in Southsea. During his five years in this foster home* he was bullied *and physically mistreated* and these years were a psychological shock to him , he also felt his parents had betrayed* him . Between 1878 and 1882 he went to the United Services College in north Devon. The College was a new and very rough* boarding school* where , physically frail, he was once again bullied, but where, nevertheless*, he developed a love of literature. In 1882 Kipling returned to India, where he spent the next seven years working as a journalist and where he began to write about India and the Anglo-Indian society His first volume of poetry, Departmental Ditties, was published in 1886, and between 1887 and 1889 he published six volumes of short stories were the action was set in India , a country he knew well and loved : when he returned to England in 1889 via the United States he found himself already acclaimed as a brilliant young writer.

It demonstrated the esteem in which he was still held and the consequent longevity of his literary success. This thesis examines how Kipling established, maintained and protected his reputation, his purpose in doing so and considers if concern about his own ethnic purity was a central motivation for him in this regard. This thesis explores Kipling‟s preoccupation with the reputation of the enlisted man – or „Tommy Atkins‟ figure – and his sympathy with the „underdog‟ and discusses how recuperation of this denigrated image was instrumental in establishing and increasing Kipling‟s poetic and literary success. His intimate personal relationship and fascination with the enlisted man is investigated, especially in terms of Empire and the Great War and juxtaposed with discussion of Kipling‟s numerous elite, establishment military and political connections.

    UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI Date: 18-May-2010 I, Kristie Powell , hereby submit this original work as part of the requirements for the degree of: Master of Arts in Art History It is entitled: "The Artist Couple:" Collectivism in Margaret Macdonald’s and Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Modern Interior Designs of 1900-1906 Student Signature: Kristie Powell This work and its defense approved by: Committee Chair: Kimberly Paice, PhD Kimberly Paice, PhD 6/18/2010 724 “The Artist Couple:” Collectivism in Margaret Macdonald’s and Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Modern Interior Designs of 1900‐1906 A thesis submitted to The Art History Faculty Of the College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning University of Cincinnati In candidacy for the degree of Masters of Arts in Art History Kristie Powell May 2010 Thesis Chair: Dr. Kimberly Paice Abstract Margaret Macdonald (1864‐1933) was a Scottish artist and designer whose marriage to the internationally renowned architect and designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh (1868‐1928), has partly obscured the importance of her contributions to art and design. Her collective approach was, in fact, part of what Mackintosh called her "genius," while he considered his own contributions to their projects more akin to "talent or ability." This study is part of the recent scholarship that brings attention to Macdonald’s contributions and crucial roles in collective design work of the modern era. Introducing the study, I evaluate the role of collectivism as it informs Macdonald’s and Mackintosh’s tea‐room designs. Next, I examine the influence of the Arts and Crafts style on the design of the couple’s Mains Street flat home.
