Peter Kean to Susan Niemcewicz, circa 1806
No full textPeter Kean wrote from West Point, New York to Susan Niemcewicz, unaddressed. Peter left New York two hours after he left Susan with a fine breeze and arrived at West Point around 2 o’clock in the morning. The Col. and Mrs. W. were rejoiced to see Peter and received him with all the warmth of friendship. The morning after Peter arrived, the Col. gave a lecture on fortification. In the mornings, Peter passed the time by walking and reading with Mrs. W. Peter was engaged in translating an eulogium from French of Mr. Thomas. In the evenings after the Col. retired, he read aloud to Mrs. Williams and was greatly instructed by her observations.https://digitalcommons.kean.edu/lhc_1800s/1511/thumbnail.jp
Raymond Williams and the limits of cultural materialism
No full textCultural materialism has become an influential discipline in recent
years, particularly so in 'Renaissance' studies, but also more generally in
'English', as well as departments defined as practising 'cultural' or
'communications' studies. The phrase is usually linked with the name of
Raymond Williams, but a cursory examination of Williams's own work
quickly establishes that it is a phrase he rarely uses, and only schematically
attempts to define. The thesis therefore takes the form of an investigation into
the way cultural materialism has come to be understood, by examining in
detail the trajectory of Raymond Williams's theoretical development, and how
his own engagement with various theoretical positions has helped to set
'limits' on the meaning of cultural materialism.
Chapters 1 and 2 deal with some of Williams's earliest work,
particularly Reading and Criticism, as a way of investigating how reasonable
it is to tag him as a 'Left-Leavisite', arguing that Leavis's undoubted
influence is resisted (though not entirely rejected) from a very early stage. The
first chapter considers in detail Leavis's work at Cambridge, the influence of
Eliot, and the significance of the 'Organic Community'. Chapter 2, which is
based around a comparative analysis of Williams's and Leavis's readings of
Dickens, argues that Williams rejects the 'organic community' in favour of his
'knowable community'. Chapters 4 and 5 deal with specific 'theoretical'
issues: the first, based around a reading of Terry Eagleton's critique of
Williams's use of the Marxist metaphor of 'base and superstructure', shows
some of the problems which arise from Williams's cultural model, as well as
suggesting refinements; the second deals with the influence of Volosinov's
theories on Williams. Chapter 6 comes out of Williams's readings of the
'Country-House' poems in The Country and the City, showing how his
practice of literary criticism relies on an acceptance of 'ideology' apparently
denied in his more 'theoretical' writings. This analysis is extended as a result
of investigations into the 'De L'Isle' manuscripts relating to the Penshurst
estate. Chapter 7 argues that it is possible to see the work of Fredric Jameson
as developing Williams's cultural materialism into Jameson's debates on
postmodernism.
In the Introduction and Conclusion, I have taken the opportunity to
look briefly at the activity of cultural materialism as it has developed since
Raymond Williams's death in 1988. The Introduction emphasizes what I see
to be important methodological differences between 'cultural materialism'
and 'new historicism'; the Conclusion deals with the continuing debate over
the value of a cultural materialist approach by considering the 'appropriation'

David Williams, prêtre de la Nature, lecteur de Voltaire et de Rousseau
No full textPeter France : David Williams, priest of nature, reader of Voltaire and Rousseau.
The Welsh author and philanthropist David Williams (1738-1816), a leading London' radical during the last 3 decades of the 18th Century, was known as an educational reformer, the priest' of the first public deistic chapel in Europe, the friend and adviser of Brissot and the Girar-dins, and the founder of the Royal Literary Fund. He provides an interesting example of the way in which the ideas of Voltaire and Rous¬ seau were combined in a synthesis of radical thought. He translated several works of V. and discussed R.'s views in various writings. The former provided a model for the advocacy of free thought and toleration, the latter a stimulus for educational and political reform. Williams took what he needed from both, adapting them to the Engllish tradition and situation.France Peter. David Williams, prêtre de la Nature, lecteur de Voltaire et de Rousseau.
