Introduction:Generations of Watts
No full textOf all the major players in the late-Victorian art world, George Frederic Watts remains the most shadowy, elusive, quixotic, and yet the easiest to patronize or dismiss. In narratives of Victorian painting Watts is not seen to have provided solutions to pictorial or aesthetic problems, because he is routinely equated with a programmatic and ritualistic vision of art. The 'theological' character of much of Watts's work must, of course, be recognized, and his capacity for moralizing holiness accounts for our unease in considering some of the better-known allegorical paintings. Watts appears pathetic within a Bloomsburian definition of culture for he is assumed to have conflated two 'failed' forms of national identity: the parasitic world of aristocratic and academic culture and the bourgeois realm of abstinence, discipline and efficiency. The traditional identification of Watts with classicism fails to deal with the density of a style that wanted to reconcile the classical body with the forces of evolutionary biology or modern psychology
The Lion and the Mouse: An Aesop Fable Retold and Illustrated by Bernadette Watts
No full textHere is an extra copy of this book. ©2000 by Nord-Süd Verlag AG, Gossau Zürich, and first published in Switzerland under the title Der Löwe und die Maus. This lovely oversized edition starts in a new way: a playful lion cub is awakened by a mouse scampering across his paw. Making the lion young allows, I think, for a different understanding of his boast that a mouse cannot help a lion. Though the art is still done for children, Watts creates one of the most realistic nets I have seen for the lion, who roars day and night. None of the animals can help him. Watts pays special attention to the surrounding creatures, including colorful snakes and birds. My favorites are the curious and attentive mongooses.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)First editionFirst printingRetold and Illustrated by Bernadette Watt
River Analysis and Climate Change: Continuous Prediction of Clay-Bed Erosion in Watts Creek
No full textPredicted future precipitation is downscaled and used to drive a hydrologic model to assess future erosion potential in a semi-alluvial clay-bed watercourse, Watts Creek. The 21 km2 watershed is predominantly urban, with overall impervious cover of 22%, and the remaining land use split between agricultural and forested areas. Continuous simulations for the open water year, excluding spring freshet (April 1st to October 31st) were performed using the SWMHYMO (Stormwater Management Hydrologic Model) lumped hydrologic modelling platform. A shear stress exceedance and stream power erosion routine was added to the platform to calculate erosion potential. To account for uncertainty in the collected data, nine different observed discharge data sets were used to calibrate the model, each leading to a distinct set of calibrated parameter values. The difference between the observed data sets lies in the choice of rating curves and the collection period. The 2041-2080 precipitation outputs of the fourth version of the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CanRCM4) ran under Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) 4.5 and 8.5 at the MacDonald Cartier International Airport were downscaled using quantile matching and then used as input to the hydrologic model. For each set of calibrated parameters, a cumulative effective work index (CWI) based on the reach-averaged shear stress was calculated for Watts Creek during the open water year using both the historic (1968 2007) and projected future (2041-2080) flows, using a bed material critical shear stress for entrainment of 3.7 Pa. Results suggest an increase of 75% (resp. 139%) under RCP4.5 (resp. RCP8.5) in CWI compared to historic conditions for the average measured bed strength. The work index increase is driven by an increased occurrence of above-threshold events, and more importantly by the increased frequency of large events. The predicted flow regime under climate change would significantly alter the erosion potential and stability of Watts Creek. A channel adjustment sensitivity analysis, which balances future erosion potential with historic potential, was implemented and indicated that the channel could widen in the future from the current bankfull width of 6.1 m to 8.2 m for RCP4.5 and 10.2 m for RCP8.5. Specific morphological behaviour should be investigated in more detail, particularly to assess if the governing erosion mechanism is seasonally dependent, perhaps incising during spring freshet and widening when the bed is vegetated in the summer

G. F. Watts
No full textG. F. Watts was one of the major artistic figures of the nineteenth century. In this work published in 1905, only a year after Watts' death, Emilie Barrington (1841–1933) reflects on the close friendship she and her husband had with the renowned artist. Her aim in writing her volume of reminiscences was to accurately record her knowledge of Watts' life. She describes her first impressions, when she first met him in Dante Gabriel Rossetti's studio. Chapters also cover Watts' aims as an artist, his relationships and his genius. This fascinating book is highly illustrated throughout, including Watts' sketches, symbolical paintings and portraits. The reader will gain an intriguing insight into the life and work of this complex character, widely considered to be the greatest painter of the Victorian age.

Isaac Watts and the Hymn Singing Revolution
No full textIsaac Watts has often been called the “Father of English Hymnology”, being at the head of a great outpouring of hymn compositions and hymn singing during the eighteenth century. This article shows that the communal singing of English hymns actually had its origins in the royal courts of France and England but was finally achieved among the Nonconformists around the City of London. Many of the advances in composition began with the congregational singing of psalms in the sixteenth century developed through the interactions of theologians, royalty and poets in the French-speaking world. However, the communal singing of hymns began a century later as a slow painful process among the disadvantaged and excluded. Despite persecution and internal opposition, it was a network of “sectaries” of late seventeenth century England who finally implemented communal hymn singing: they were the Particular Baptists. A major inspiration was also provided by a reclusive and sensitive Anglican priest called John Mason. It was then in the early eighteenth century, with this foundation of composition and practice in place that poet, theologian, and Congregational minister, Isaac Watts (1674-1748), was able to compose and publish his works and make hymn singing available to a much wider public and consequently stimulate a new generation of hymnwriters
Isaac Watts and the Singing Revolution
No full text“When I Survey the Wondrous Cross”, one of the best-known hymns in the English-speaking world, was just one of the 216 works included in Hymns and Spiritual Songs published in 1707 by Congregational minister, Isaac Watts. Of course, singing hymns and spiritual songs in any church is such a common practice today that is almost inconceivable that at the beginning of the eighteenth century it was rare. Those nations, including England, that had followed Reformed teachings rather than the Luther..
