Locality, politics and culture : Poplar in the 1920s.
No full textPhDThe thesis begins with a discussion of the literature on
local working-class politics, which includes the work of
labour historians, political geographers and locality-study
writers. The latter have been especially keen to
acknowledge the unique causal powers of the social
formations of specific localities and to explore the
implications of these for local political behaviour.
Nonetheless, locality studies share with other approaches
to local politics an interest in class to exclusion of
other bases of social action, and a structuralism which
denies human agency.
The history of Poplar in the 1920s denies such
explanatory logic. The Labour Party came to power in the
borough in 1919. Yet although the class and economic
structure of Poplar was very similar to that of the rest of
east London, Poplar Labour Party was unique in the degree
of its militancy.
In order to explain this radicalism, the thesis turns
away from structural analysis and towards cultural
interpretation, exploring Poplar's politics in terms of
local culture and civil society, focussing on five themes:
the politics of class and of gender, the discourses of
citizenship, the morality of the neighbourhoods and the
religious faiths. The influence of these cultural
'communal sensibilities' on Poplar Labour Party are traced
in order to stress the complexity and contingency of the
relationship between a locality and its politics.
That contingency is further emphasised in the
conclusion, which describes the shift in Poplar Labour
Party away from a left-wing and participatory form of
politics and towards a right-wing and elitist mode as the
1920s progressed. It is concluded that both types of
politics were closely linked to Poplar's culture and that,
although local culture in all its complexity is vital for
the understanding of local politics, there is no necessary
relationship between a culture and the form of political
expression it may take
J.C. Bach's London keyboard sonatas : style and context
No full textJ. C. Bach's keyboard works include several sets of accompanied sonatas, a genre that enjoyed a wide popularity during the Classical era, but never
found its way into the concert repertoire. The accompanied sonata was a genre meant for domestic performance; the solo keyboard sonata, on
the other hand, was adopted in due course by concert audiences. J. C. Bach composed works within both genres during most of his productive years, and his output constitutes a corpus of remarkable consistency. J. C. Bach's removal to London in 1762 coincided with his clear adoption of a galant style, marked by the Italianate influence, and the abandonment of most Baroque traits. The British milieu provided additional factors: the rise of the pianoforte, a thriving music-publishing market, and a great interest in domestic music making among the affluent classes. These factors marked J. C. Bach's output at various levels. Keyboard works had to conform to the proficiency of the amateur performer, a
fact reflected in the accompanied output mostly. The number of movements, their length, and the inclusion of particular technical devices are readily observable differences between the two genres. The most remarkable
distinction lies perhaps in the preference for binary sonata format in the accompanied. sonatas from the mid 1760s to the 1770s, in spite of a later tendency for tripartite designs in both genres. J. C. Bach's lifelong preference for motivic phrase structure conditioned his keyboard production and partly explains the gap in quality between some of his works and sonatas composed around the same time by Haydn and Mozart, who developed more effective means to connect the melodic material
to higher structural units. J. C. Bach's influence, however, endured in Mozart's handling of melody, and his keyboard production constitutes, in spite of some flaws, a noteworthy example of elegance and craftsmanship

Literary representations of maternity in the eighteenth century
No full textThe primary concern of this thesis is the representation, in the eighteenth century, of mothers' bodies. It is also concerned with the treatment of domestic duties which were supposed a consequence of a woman's very nature. Throughout the first seven decades of the century, medical men and virtuosi demonstrated particular interest in the nature of physicality, and especially in women's bodies, pregnancy, and childbirth. 1 will be testing out a widely-held view that dissection and new anatomical findings regarding women's bodies produced a new idealisation of motherhood, and that this was immediately translated into lay-medical and related discourse, and was thus firmly established in middle-class culture by the end of the century. The relationship between primary medical and lay-medical literature raises several questions: my work asks whether lay-medical literature mirrored medical writing, and whether there was a direct translation of material from one to the other. Lay-medical texts for women are especially interesting. They offer an insight into precisely what examples of female nature and correspondingly 'natural' behaviour were intended for women readers. Representations of maternity in specific forms of writing which rely heavily upon women for subject matter are further extended in the second half of this study. 1 have focussed upon two genres, conduct literature and narrative fiction. Neither is conventionally associated with medical or lay-medical discourse, yet both have significant links with these. Conduct literature and narrative fiction have much to offer in this attempt to recover what women were being taught about their bodies and roles; both were concerned with what the body displays externally, and with corresponding ideas of 'naturalness'. Conduct literature for women was enjoying a period of growth and change, and has obvious, direct links with medical texts. Narrative fiction also had important links with medical writing, and 1 will describe these. The dissemination of medical representations of the maternal body was a process which contributed to a contradictory cultural sense of female identity
Music and elite identity in the English country house, c.1790-1840
No full textIn this thesis I investigate two untapped music book collections that belonged to two women. Elizabeth Sykes Egerton (1777-1853) and Lydia Hoare Acland (1786-1856) lived at Tatton Park, Cheshire, and Killerton House, Devon, respectively. Upon their marriage in the early nineteenth century, they brought with them the music books they had compiled so far to their new homes, and they continued to collect and play music after marriage. I examine the vocal music in Elizabeth’s and Lydia’s collections, and I aim to show how selected vocal music repertoires contributed toward the construction of landed elite identity in these women and their husbands, concentrating on gender, class, national identity and religion.In chapter one, I concentrate on songs that depict destitute and suffering individuals to move both listeners and performers to compassion. The songs are topical and provide insights into contemporary understandings of sympathy and landed elite responsibility for the distressed. In chapter two, I focus on the ingoing and outgoing movements of music in the country house, and the consumption of foreign music in the home. I divide the chapter into two sections, first examining Elizabeth’s Italian vocal music that she collected during her girlhood years in London and York in the 1790s. The Italian music that Elizabeth brought to Tatton complemented other Italian objects and items in the home. Italian culture appealed to the Egerton family both before and after Elizabeth and Wilbraham married. In the second section, I investigate Lydia and her family’s journey to Vienna for the Congress in 1814-1815. Lydia took away with her a book of vocal music to remind her of home in a foreign environment. While away in Vienna, the Aclands attended concerts and music salons, and they purchased music books to bring back home to add to their collection. In the final chapter, I concentrate on the man of the house at music and I consider the social expectations, duties and responsibilities that had befallen our landed elite men, Thomas Dyke Acland and Wilbraham Egerton. I discuss Thomas’s and Wilbraham’s musical engagements and occasions for performing music, and how men’s music-making contributed to a masculine identity.By placing the vocal music in broader social and cultural contexts, reading personal correspondence, newspaper articles, account books and diaries, we can begin to understand what our families thought about music, and how they used and experienced music in and around their homes, forming an important part of their lifestyle
The happy couple : American marriages in Hollywood films 1934-1948
No full textThis thesis examines Hollywood narratives of married life produced between
1934 and 1948. Using Stanley Cavell’s seminal Pursuits of Happiness as a point of
departure, I compare the depiction of benign domesticity across four chapters.
Combining textual analysis, genre criticism and studio archival research, I re-evaluate
Cavell’s notion of ‘films in conversation’, and suggest that narratives of marriage call
for an approach that considers intertextuality, audience address and the interaction of
star personae.
My first two chapters focus on MGM’s six Thin Man films, discussing an
ongoing series’ portrayal of a continuous marriage. In my analysis of The Thin Man,
After the Thin Man and Another Thin Man, I argue that the mystery plots of these
films inform and inflect the depiction of marriage in private and public space. In
contrast to previous studies that view Shadow of the Thin Man, The Thin Man Goes
Home and Song of the Thin Man as signaling the onset of domesticity and the
format’s decline, I view these films as proposing alternative ways of attending to the
problem of the male child.
The third chapter compares Penny Serenade and Mr. Blandings Builds his
Dream House, films in which the happiness of a family is made contingent upon the
construction of a home. In this chapter, I suggest that building a home for one’s
daughters permits the films’ mise-en-scene to be invested with possibility of renewal.
My fourth chapter discusses three films in which a partner returns to marriage after a
period of absence – My Favourite Wife, The Best Years of Our Lives and Tomorrow is
Forever. With particular attention to the role of ‘the other woman’, I note ways in
which these narratives propose the future of their couples
The modernist angel: Art at the Limits of the Human in D. H. Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy
No full textPhDThe subject of this thesis is a figure that might provisionally be called the *modemist
angel'. Focusing on modernist literature, and more particularly on the work of D. H.
Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy, it aims to isolate from the many angels found in all periods
and all types of art a historically specific and intellectually coherent paradigm: an angel of
and for its modernist times. A figure of precisely this type could be said to exist in the
form of Walter Benjamin's 'angel of history'. Critics who address the question of the
modern angel in texts by Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke often do so in conjunction
with the problem posed by the angel of history. Beginning with a chapter on Benjamin,
this thesis nevertheless follows a different trajectory. Over five chapters, it explores a
modernist landscape formed not only by Lawrence, H. D. and Loy, but also by European
and American writers such as A. R. Orage, Allen Upward, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens,
Havelock Ellis, Edward Carpenter, Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche. Although the
angel that emerges from this investigation might, in some respects, be said to anticipate
Benjamin's later version, this figure is also very different, standing for a project that is
distinctively, and recognisably, modernist in nature. He/she (the sex of the modernist
angel is often open to question) represents an attempt to reconcile the divine
responsibilities of the artist with the material and gendered conditions of being,
specifically of being human, in the modem world. This thesis looks again at the clash of
intellectual paradigms in the early-twentieth century - notably, the confrontation of the
Romantic view of art as a superhuman or sacred undertaking with the psychoanalytical or
evolutionary idea that all human endeavour is underpinned by sub-human motives - and
suggests the angel as a new and instructive figure through which to think the perilous
limits between the human and the divine in modernist literature
- …
