The Lighted WindowEvening Walks Remembered

Peter Davidson

Homecoming, haunting, nostalgia, desire: these are some of the themes evoked by the beguiling motif of the lighted window in literature and art. In this innovative combination of place-writing, memoir and cultural study, Peter Davidson takes us on atmospheric walks through nocturnal cities in Britain, Europe and North America, and revisits the field paths of rural England.

Surveying a wide range of material, the book extends chronologically from early romantic painting to contemporary fiction, and geographically from the Low Countries to Japan. It features familiar lighted windows in English literature (in the works of poets such as Thomas Hardy and Matthew Arnold and in the novels of Virginia Woolf, Arthur Conan Doyle and Kenneth Grahame) and examines the painted nocturnes of James Whistler, John Atkinson Grimshaw and the ruralist Samuel Palmer. It also considers Japanese prints of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; German romanticism in painting, poetry and music; Proust and the painters of the French belle époque; René Magritte’s L’Empire des Lumières; and North American painters such as Edward Hopper and Linden Frederick.

By interpreting the interactions of art, literature and geography around this evocative motif, Peter Davidson shows how it has inspired an extraordinary variety of moods and ideas, from the romantic period to the present day.

away from the observer, as with Eric Ravilious’s haunting Train Going over a Bridge at Night, his paintings of ferries and piers between the wars.

But the image of the lighted window has also an unequivocally positive aspect, an opposite mood by which it represents the security of home, a promise of domestic happiness towards which the traveller hastens at nightfall, especially the traveller returning after a long absence. Perhaps one of the most distinguished artists in this mode is the Victorian ruralist Samuel Palmer, who conveys a blessed and exceptional security in his images of lighted cottage windows folded about by small hills and orchard trees bowed down with fruit. There is a moment in a letter from the young Cyril Connolly to a friend where he describes lighting lamps in December so that he may contemplate his home shining out through the winter dusk

I … turn on one light, or all the lights when my father has gone to bed and go out to the end of the garden to see the golden shafts shining through latticed windows and stretching over the grass to where I stand by the dark yew hedge listening to the soft splashing of our stream, my feet in the dead leaves.1

The image of yellow, welcoming light in the vast blue dark of winter is a repeated motif of Scandinavian romantic painting, the sheer scale of the northern landscape emphasised by the sparse lights of the dwellings scattered across its hills and islands. In a different mood, the single lighted window, or the lonely streetlights in rural or urban darkness, became a defining motif of American art in the years during and after the second world war, and remains so to this day, particularly in the work of contemporary American photographers. From the turn of the twentieth century, the lighted window is also a motif repeated with infinite subtle variation in Japanese prints. These nocturnes are beautifully rendered in superimposed blocks of cobalt, turquoise and shadow, in points of brilliant yellow and white.

The motif of the lighted window also appears in those optical devices and models in which painters have delighted since the eighteenth century: transparencies and glass-paintings, like Gainsborough’s Show Box, with its reverse-lit slide of a lamplit cottage by a moonlit pond. This technique continues with the varnished transparencies often depicting lit buildings at night, designed to be viewed with a lamp or candle behind the paper, which were a passing fashion of romantic Germany and England. This fashion manifests itself later in small devices of wonder: toy theatres and Christmas lanterns, innocent lights and diversions for the depths of the winter.

*My mind circles back to the Oxford Elegy, to Arnold’s wanderer on the snowy hill as an image expressing belatedness and regret for the life abandoned or relinquished, belated arrivals, chances not taken. Variations of this scene became for me a talisman of nineteenth-century English poetry and experience. So much so that I set out from Oxford

Winter C it ie s

The Augustijnenkaai in Ghent was silent except for the faint stir of the willows along the water. The streetlights had come on early on a winter evening: lights trailed in the canal, glowed behind sparse leaves, glimmered over wet cobbles. Elegant, substantial houses of all eras from the late middle ages to the nineteenth century lined the quay, and all were unlit in this early evening, dark as the apparently deserted villages seen from the train from Brussels at dusk the day before. Stepped gables, a palace front with a central carriage entrance, the long blank wall of a convent.

We walked to the bridge at the corner and turned back down through the cobbled square on the other side, its houses lightless also – handsome, renaissance houses with stepped and carved gables. Then a light kindled between the willow leaves, reflected in the dark canal, and yellow lamplight shone out from a ground floor window in the only small house on the quay. Then the gap between hanging branches gave us a glimpse into a comfortable room, the corbelled beams of the ceiling painted yellow, a standard lamp beside a green sofa. A fair-haired young man was standing by the lamp, reading the newspaper. The moment was both haunted and haunting, seeing the

The Secret History of English SpasMelanie King

English spas have a long and steamy history, from the thermal baths of Aquae Sulis in Bath to the stews of Southwark, and from the elegant pump rooms of Cheltenham and Buxton to the Victorian mania for hydrotherapy and Turkish hammams.

The Secret History of English Spas is an informative but light-hearted social and cultural history of our obsession with drinking and bathing in spa waters. It tells the stories of the rich, the famous, the poor and the sick, all of whom visited spas in the hope of curing everything from infertility to leprosy and gonorrhoea. It depicts the entrepreneurs who promoted these resorts – often on the basis of the most dubious scientific evidence – and the riotous and salacious social life enjoyed in spa towns, where moral health might suffer even as bodies were cleansed and purged.

And yet English spas also offered an ideal of civility and politeness, providing a place where social classes and sexes could mingle and enjoy refined entertainments such as music and dance – all part of the fashionable pastime referred to as ‘taking the waters’.

Rachel OwenIllustrations for Dante’s Inferno

Edited by David Bowe

Rachel Owen’s hauntingly beautiful illustrations for Dante’s Inferno take a radically new approach to representing the world of Dante’s famous poem. The images combine the artist’s deep cultural and historical understanding of The Divine Comedy and its artistic legacy with her unique talent for collage and printmaking. These illus-trations, casting the viewer as a first-person pilgrim through the underworld, prompt us to rethink Dante’s poem through their novel perspective and visual language.

Owen’s work, held in the Bodleian Library and published here for the first time, illustrates the complete cycle of thirty-four cantos of the Inferno with one image per canto. The illustrations are accompa-nied by essays contextualizing Owen’s work and supplemented by six illustrations intended for the unfinished Purgatorio series. Fiona Whitehouse provides details of the techniques employed by the artist, Peter Hainsworth situates Owen’s work in the field of modern Dante illustration and David Bowe offers a commentary on the illustrations as gateways to Dante’s poem. Jamie McKendrick and Bernard O’Donoghue’s translations of episodes from the Inferno provide complementary artistic interpretations of Dante’s poem, while reflections from colleagues and friends commemorate Owen’s life and work as an artist, scholar and teacher. This stunning collection is an important contribution to both Dante scholarship and illustration.

The Science of Life and Death in FrankensteinSharon Ruston

What is life? This was a question of particular concern for Mary Shelley and her contemporaries. But how did she, and her fellow Romantic writers, incorporate this debate into their work, and how much were they influenced by contemporary science, medicine and personal loss?

This book is the first to compile the many attempts in science and medicine to account for life and death in Mary Shelley’s time. It considers what her contemporaries thought of air, blood, sun-light, electricity and other elements believed to be most essential for living. Mary Shelley’s (and her circle’s) knowledge of science and medicine is carefully examined, alongside the work of key scientific and medical thinkers, including John Abernethy, James Curry, Humphry Davy, John Hunter, William Lawrence and Joseph Priestley. Frankenstein demonstrates what Mary Shelley knew of the advice given by medical practitioners for the recovery of persons drowned, hanged or strangled and explores the contemporary scientific basis behind Victor Frankenstein’s idea that life and death were merely ‘ideal bounds’ he could transgress in the making of the Creature.

Interweaving images of the manuscript, portraits, medical instruments and contemporary diagrams into her narrative, Sharon Ruston shows how this extraordinary tale is steeped in historical scientific and medical thought exploring the fascinating boundary between life and death.

RAISING THE DEAD

The night Victor Frankenstein animates the Creature, he has a terrible nightmare. Fraught with the horror of his creation, Franken-stein dreams that he meets his beloved, Elizabeth, in the streets of Ingolstadt. When he kisses her lips ‘they became livid with the hue of death’. Her features also change. Instead of his fiancée, he finds that he is holding the ‘corpse of my dead mother in my arms; a shroud enveloped her form, and I saw the grave-worms crawling in the folds of the flannel’.1 He wakes up, horrified; he is sweating, his teeth are chattering, and his limbs convulse. He realizes that the Creature is watching him, and at this moment Frankenstein runs away. The episode presents the transformation from life to death. It also dwells on the horror of contemplating the reality of the death of our loved ones.

Previously, when Frankenstein had described how he discovered the principle of life, he boasted that he did not fear the dead. He tells Captain Walton that his father had been careful to ensure that his education was rational and that ‘supernatural horrors’ should not frighten him. As a result, Frankenstein considered that ‘a church-yard was … merely the receptacle of bodies deprived of life, which, from being the seat of beauty and strength, had become food for the fig. 16 Set of English surgical instruments, John Weiss & Sons, c. 1830.


Hawkers, Beggars and QuacksPortraits from The Cries of London

Buy my Dish of great Eeles, Any Old Iron take money for, Twelve Pence a Peck Oysters, Buy my fat Chickens, Fair Lemons & Oranges

Marcellus Laroon’s The Cryes of the City of London drawne after the Life presents, in seventy-four striking portraits, a panorama of London’s marginal men and women: street vendors, hustlers and petty criminals together with the shouts (or cries) they used to hawk their wares, as they existed at the end of the seventeenth century.

Following an illustrated introduction which sets Laroon’s engrav-ings within the tradition of the Cries, each portrait is beautifully reproduced with a commentary that illuminates the individual street-seller and their trade. The commentaries provide a wealth of detail about their dress, the equipment they used to ply their trade, the meat and drink of those they served and their own diets. This book also mines historical archives for contemporary reports about the colourful and often desperate lives of these hawkers.

Drawing on the historical material found in the Burney Collection of English newspapers, this book provides a fascinating insight into the men and women who made their livelihood, legally and illegally, on the streets of England’s capital.

‘The Curfew tolls the knell of parting day …’

Thomas Gray’s Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard has been loved and admired throughout the centuries. First circulated to a select group of friends, it was rushed to official publication in 1751 in order to avoid pirated copies being sold without the young poet’s permission. Praised by Samuel Johnson, reprinted over and over again in Gray’s lifetime and recited by generations of schoolchildren, it is one of the most famous poems in the English language.

This edition reproduces the exquisite wood engravings made by Agnes Miller Parker in 1938. Parker visited the churchyard at St Giles, Stoke Poges, where the poem is set, in order to make her sketches, and all thirty-two stanzas of the poem are accompanied by detailed full-page illustrations. Commemorating the 250th anniversary of the poet’s death, this edition will not only bring new readers to the Elegy but will also appeal to those already familiar with its riches.

On 10 December 1948, in Paris, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a groundbreaking and important proclamation: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This milestone document, made up of thirty Articles, sets out, for the first time, the fundamental human rights that must be protected by all nations.

The full text of the document is reproduced in this book following a foreword by human rights lawyer Amal Clooney and a general introduction which explores its origins in the ‘Four Freedoms’ described by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the role his wife Eleanor Roosevelt took on as chair of the Human Rights Commission and of the drafting committee, and the parts played by other key international members of the Commission. It was a pioneering achievement in the wake of the Second World War and continues to provide a basis for international human rights law, making this document’s aims ‘as relevant today as when they were first adopted a lifetime ago.’

A Cornucopia of Fruit & Vegetables Illustrations from an Eighteenth-Century Botanical Treasury

Caroline Ball

Close-up photographs of plump apricots, juicy mangoes, crisp lettuce … these are familiar to us all through cookery books and garden guides. But seeing fruit and vegetables as detailed art, viewed through eighteenth-century eyes, is something very different – and more interesting.

Thanks to intrepid explorers and plant-hunters, Britain and the rest of Europe have long enjoyed a wide and wonderful array of fruit and vegetables. Some wealthy households even created orangeries and glasshouses for tender exotics and special pits in which to raise pineapples, while tomatoes, sweetcorn and runner beans from the New World expanded the culinary repertoire.

This wealth of choice attracted interest beyond the kitchen and garden. In the 1730s Johann Wilhelm Weinmann, a prosperous Bavarian apothecary, produced the first volume of a comprehensive A to Z of plants, meticulously documented, and lavishly illustrated by botanical artists. A Cornucopia of Fruit & Vegetables is a glimpse into his world. It features exquisite illustrations of the edible plants in his historic treasury, allowing us to enjoy the sight of swan-necked gourds and horned lemons, smile at silkworms hovering over mulberries and delight at the quirkiness of ‘strawberry spinach’ … a delicious medley of garden produce and exotics that will capture the imagination of gardeners and art-lovers alike.

CAROLINE BALL is an editor, copywriter and occasional translator who has written on many subjects, but has a particular interest in horticulture, garden history and plant-hunters.

Roots to Seeds 400 Years of Oxford Botany

Stephen A. Harris

Since 1621, and the foundation of the Oxford Botanic Garden, Oxford has built up an outstanding collection of plant specimens, botanical illustrations and rare books on plant classification, collecting and plant biology. These archives, and the living plants in the Garden, are integral to the study of botany in the University.

This book profiles the botanists and collections which have helped to transform our understanding of the biology of plants over the past four centuries, focusing on plant classification, experimental botany, building botanical collections, agriculture and forestry and botanical education. Highlights include a selection of Ferdinand Bauer’s renowned illustrations for Flora Graeca – an extraordinarily lavish and detailed eighteenth-century botanical publication of plants found in the Eastern Mediterranean – and rare plant speci-mens from the herbaria, such as Fairchild’s Mule (the first artificially created hybrid plant).

Together with seventeenth-century herbals, elegant garden plans, plant models and fossil slides, these items from the archives all help to tell the story of botanical science in Oxford and the intrepid bota-nists who devoted themselves to the essential study of plants.

Hyphens & Hashtags* *The stories behind the symbols on our keyboards

Claire Cock-Starkey

The punctuation marks, mathematical symbols and glyphs which haunt the edges of our keyboards have evolved over many hundreds of years. They shape our understanding of texts, calculations and online interactions. Without these symbols all texts would run in endless unbroken lines of letters and numbers.

Many hands and minds have created, refined and promulgated the symbols which give form to our written communication. Through individual entries discussing the story behind each example, Hyphens & Hashtags reveals the long road many of these special characters have taken on their way into general use. In the digital age of communication, some symbols have gained an additional meaning or a new lease of life – the colon now doubles up as the eyes of a smiling face emoticon and the hashtag has travelled from obscurity to an essential component of social media. Alongside historical roots, this book also considers ever-evolving modern usage and uncovers those symbols which have now fallen out of fashion.

Hyphens & Hashtags casts a well-deserved spotlight on these stalwarts of typography whose handy knack for summing up a command or concept in simple shorthand marshals our sentences, clarifies a calculation or adds some much-needed emotion to our online interactions.

CLAIRE COCK-STARKEY is the author

of over a dozen non-fiction books on a

variety of subjects but all united in their

aim to tell fascinating stories.

Martha Lloyd’s Household BookThe Original Manuscript from Jane Austen’s Kitchen

Introduced with annotated transcription by Julienne Gehrer Foreword by Deirdre Le Faye

This is the first facsimile publication of Martha Lloyd’s Household Book, the manuscript cookbook of Jane Austen’s closest friend. Martha’s notebook is reproduced in a colour facsimile section with complete transcription and detailed annotation. Introductory chapters discuss its place among other household books of the eighteenth century.

Martha Lloyd befriended a young Jane Austen and later lived with Jane, her sister Cassandra and their mother at the cottage in Chawton, Hampshire, where Jane wrote or revised her novels. Martha later married into the Austen family. Her collection features recipes and remedies handwritten during a period of over thirty years and includes the only surviving recipes from Mrs Austen and Captain Francis Austen, Jane’s mother and brother.

There are many connections between Martha’s book and Jane Austen’s writing, including white soup from Pride and Prejudice and the author’s favourites – toasted cheese and mead. The family, culinary and literary connections detailed in the introductory chapters of this work give a fascinating perspective on the time and manner in which both women lived, thanks to this extraordinary artefact passed down through the Austen family.

JULIENNE GEHRER is an author, journalist and food historian who lectures on Jane Austen and the long

eighteenth century.
