Prospectuses, Specimens and National Works: Byron and John Hookham Frere
No full textThis article analyses Byron’s stylistic conversion of 1817 by examining the transformative impact of John Hookham Frere’s Prospectus and Specimen of an Intended National Work, by William and Robert Whistlecraft, which Byron acknowledged as his ‘immediate model’ for Beppo. Previous studies of this textual relationship have centred on ottava rima and emphasised the underlying influence of Italian burlesque poetry. I highlight other aspects of Frere’s poem, showing how its title page parodies publishers’ marketing devices and how it mixes mock-epic romance with wide-ranging satire of the British book trade. Frere’s narratorial persona ‘Whistlecraft’, a chatty, self-mocking author who reflects playfully on the act of writing and the practicalities of publishing and printing, is part of the satire. Using similar techniques and motifs, Byron takes Frere’s satiric method to a new level of imaginative accomplishment, creating a comic poetry that is both national and international in scope, first in his ‘Venetian story’ Beppo and later in Don Juan

Letter from Lord Byron (George Gordon) to Samuel Taylor Coleridge
No full textAutograph letter written from Lord Byron (George Gordon) to Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Written from Picadilly. Transcriptions included.Piccadilly March 31st.
1815—
Dear Sir—
It will give me great pleasure to comply with your request—though I hope there is still taste enough left amongst us to render it almost unnecessary—sordid & interested as—it must be admitted—many of “the trade” are where circumstances give them an advantage. I trust you do not permit yourself to be depressed by the temporary partiality of what is called “the public” for the favourites of the moment—all experience is against the permanency of such impressions. [p. 2] You must have lived to see many of these pass away—and will survive many more—I mean personally—for poetically, I would not insult you by a comparison. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- If I may be permitted—I would suggest that there never was such an opening for Tragedy—In Kean there is an actor worthy of expressing the thoughts of the characters which you have every power of embodying—and I cannot but regret that the part of Ordonio was disposed of before his appearance at Drury Lane. We have had nothing to be mentioned in the same breath with “Remorse” for [p. 3] very many years—and I should think that the reception of that play was sufficient to encourage the highest hopes of author and audience. -- -- It is to be hoped that you are proceeding in a career which could not be successful. -- -- -- With my best respects to Mr. Bowles I have the honour to be
Yr. obliged
& very obnt. Svt
Byron
P.S. You mention my “Satire” lampoon or whatever you or others please to call it—I can only say that it was written when I was very young & very angry—and has been a thorn in my side ever [p.4 ] since—more particularly as almost all the persons animadverted upon became subsequently my acquaintances & some of them my friends—which is “heaping fire upon an enemy’s head” & forgiving me too readily to permit me to forgive myself.—The part applied to you—is pert & petulant--& shallow enough—but—although I have long done every thing in my power to suppress the circulation of the whole thing—I shall always regret the wantonness & generality of many of its attempted attacks. [Four dashes fill out the final line.
Byron in Geneva
No full textIn 1816, following the scandalous collapse of his marriage, Lord Byron left England forever. His first destination was the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva where he stayed together with Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Godwin, Claire Clairmont and John Polidori. Byron in Geneva focuses sharply on the poets life in the summer of that year, a famous time for meteorologists (for whom 1816 is the year without a summer), but also that crucial moment in the development of his writing when, urged on by Shelley, Byron tried to transform himself into a Romantic poet of the Wordsworthian variety. The book gives a vivid impression of what Byron thought and felt in these few months after the breakdown of his marriage, but also explores the different aspects of his nature that emerge in contact with a remarkable cast of supporting characters, which also included Madame de Staël, who presided over a famous salon in Coppet, across the lake from Geneva, and Matthew Lewis, author of the splendidly erotic `Gothic best-seller, The Monk. David Ellis sets out to challenge recent damning studies of Byron and through his meticulous exploration of the private and public life of the poet at this pivotal moment, he reasserts the value of Byrons wit, warm-heartedness, and hatred of cant.</jats:p
Safer children in a digital world
No full textThe internet and video games are very popular with children and young people and offer a range of opportunities for fun, learning and development. But there are concerns over potentially inappropriate material, which range from content (e.g. violence) through to contact and conduct of children in the digital world. Debates and research in this area can be highly polarised and charged with emotion. Having considered the evidence the author believes we need to move from a discussion about the media \u27causing\u27 harm to one which focuses on children and young people, what they bring to technology and how we can use our understanding of how they develop to empower them to manage risks and make the digital world safer

Pumphrey worked as the managing editor of the Kentucky Kernel in the late 1920s. He moved to California in 1929 to work as a reporter and editor for the Santa Monica Evening Outlook. He returned to the University of Kentucky for law school and moved back to California after graduation. Pumphrey continued working at the Evening Outlook and later taught at the California Institute of Arts. His writing later turned to drama critique.
