Abstract:

This thesis explores private and public expectations and perceptions of the West End house in the period c1765 to cl785. By investigating aspects of occupancy or ownership not obviously readable from the house itself, it shows that the town house's significance to its occupants was often far greater and more diverse than its appearance suggests, and it accounts for the terrace house's enduring popularity. Chapter 1 notes the houseowner's absence in the architectural-historical literature on the eighteenth-century town house, and the difficulty of finding or accommodating the house itself within the literature on property ownership, acquisition and transmission. The thesis addresses these deficiencies chiefly through the use of anecdotal, financial and other documentary evidence from papers of families of the landowning classes. Chapter 2 looks at reasons for taking London houses, women's strong associations with them, and houses' practical and more abstract functions, including making a 'proper figure'. Chapter 3 reveals the leasehold house's correspondences with personal rather than real property; the house's prominence in settlements and wills; and its retention within some families, particularly through bequests to widows. Chapter 4 considers what people looked for and how they found it within an active town-house market, and why people were prepared to bear the often damaging cost of house ownership or occupancy. Chapter 5 identifies and explains the discrepancy between public prescriptions and private practice in town-house design. It shows how Robert Adam, in particular, met the terrace house on its own terms and allowed it to come into its own, architecturally, in this period. The house's close associations with women, its ambiguous property status, its commodity attributes, its financial ramifications, and the nature of its architectural and decorative treatments, are used to explain its characterization in the eighteenth century, and more recently, as inconsequential, inconstant, insubstantial, intemperate, and ultimately emasculate.

Abstract:

Au 18e siecle s'affirme le rayonnement britannique, tandis que se pose la question de la legitimite de la solitude : l'individu peut-il a tout moment quitter la societe ? misanthropie et philanthropie s'affrontent, et, entre 1725 et 1785 la poesie repond diversement. Dans une solitude studieuse et physico-theologique se developpent un art de vivre imite des anciens (thomson), et un penchant pour la melancolie contemplative (t. & j. Warton). A la recherche des limites de la solitude dans le spectacle familier ou sublime de la nature (dyer, thomson, cowper), le poete decouvre l'infini (young, hervey); mais son errance mal maitrisee l'entraine au naufrage metaphysique. Ce desarroi est renforce par l'interrogation religieuse : la solitude est-elle une initiation douloureuse menant a dieu, ou le signe de l'alienation decretee par un dieu terrible ? la hantise de la folie et l'attrait du suicide augmentent. Or, a la chute dans la spirale de l'isolement repond la reconquete partielle d'un centre dans l'asile du jardin (landscape gardening). Si la me nace du neant demeure (graveyard school), loin des extremes se poursuit la quete du juste milieu (gray), dans le respect de la chaine des etres. L'activite poetique peut avoir un role cathartique (green); la poesie peut aussi etre l'oeuvre de la folie (smart), a moins d'enfermer la solitude dans le paradoxe rhetorique d'une presence allegorique et tutelaire
In prosperous 18th-century britain the right for the individual to leave society for solitude was much debated. Through cross-currents of philanthropy and misanthropy, the response of poetry from 1725 to 1785 was manifold. Not only did the enjoyement of intellectually fruitful solitude develop on physico-theological lines (thomson), but also a growing awareness of the pleasures of melancholy (t. & j. Warton). Searching the limits of solitude through gentle or sublime nature (excursion poets, thomson, cowper), man was soon faced with the infinite (young, hervey), before collapsing beyond a point of no return. Disarray was stressed by religious questioning : was solitude an ordeal toward reunion with fod, or a token of man's alienation from god's grace ? despite the fear of madness and the appeal of suicide, the fall into the abyss of isolation was counterbalanced by a somewhat recevered sense of the self as a reliable centre, beyond loomng nothingness (graveyard school), landscape gardens also sheltered the quest for a decent aurea mediocritas (gray) within the great chain of being the poet could laugh off his fear into; poetry-writing (green), but poetry could also be the work of madness (smart), unless it remained framed by neoclassical poetic diction, turning solitude into a paradoxical tutelary presence

Abstract:

Cette étude analyse les premières expériences aérostatiques entre 1783, date de l'invention des frères Montgolfier, et 1785. Durant ce court moment, l'engouement pour la découverte donne lieu à un phénomène particulier en France, notamment par la reproduction d'une trentaine de vols en ballon en province en 1784. Cette reproduction, qui s'apparente à une expérience de physique expérimentale en place publique, favorise la diffusion d'arguments scientifiques dans l'espace publique autour de la connaissance des matériaux et des procédés. Fête publique des lumières, le processus d'acculturation qu'elle propose se fragilise face aux attentes contradictoires. Dans l'espace de deux années, une banalisation s'opère au terme de laquelle le vol, contrôlé par le pouvoir et trivialisé, appartiendra aux professionnels, d'une part des entrepreneurs de spectacle et d'autre part des institutions savantes, comme l'Académie royale des Sciences.

Full text

Abstract:

Maria Graham is known as a travel writer, but she also translated works from French and German into English, wrote on history, painting, stories for children, and kept personal journals. My thesis centres on her travel journals and memoirs, published and unpublished. Graham is one of the first female travel writers to acquire fame as a writer shortly after publication, or to provoke controversy; in the cases of Brazil and Chile she actually is the first woman to write about those emerging states. She is outstanding as well for the authority of her narrative voice, her disregard of restrictions imposed on women’s text during her time, her complex approach to gender issues and for the changes experienced by her narrating persona. She begins by constructing a well informed but detached observer who reports her visit to India and the first visit to Brazil in a cold and distant voice, but who later allows another voice to filter through her text, an event that turns the narrator into a mere shadow in parts of the journal on Chile. It is in this journal that Graham begins to build up a contradictory persona who can be superior, ironic, and scathing when describing other women, but who can portray herself as a helpless heroine in a traditional romance when her script so demands it. In the second visit to Brazil this complex narrator becomes warmly eulogising of the country and its ruler, but this attitude does not last. The position is reversed in the third journal, which has elements of a spy thriller at times. The last chapter concerns the journals written in and about Europe regardless of chronology; they illustrate one of the main postulates of the thesis: that Graham evolved as narrator from detached observer to heroine up to the journals written at the end of her life, which become explorations into the narrator’s inner self.

Full text

Abstract:

Johann Gottfried Eckard was a self-trained composer and keyboardist studying with Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach’s Versuch while he lived in Augsburg. Eckard traveled to Paris with the keyboard instrument builder, Johann Andreas Stein, in 1758 and settled in France for the rest of his life. Eckard only composed eight keyboard sonatas and a set of variations on the Menuet d’Exaudet. He published his works during the transitional period from harpsichord to fortepiano. The eight keyboard sonatas incorporated variations of musical styles which included Italian sonata, galant, and empfindsamer stil. His keyboard sonatas influenced his contemporaries including Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Schobert. Eckard was one of the early fortepiano composers in France and tried to promote the new instrument, but wrote in the Foreword of six sonatas (op.1), that they were suitable for the harpsichord, the clavichord, and the fortepiano. The six sonatas of op.1 were published in 1763, two years after fortepiano was advertised for sale in the local newspaper. In 1768, the fortepiano was used in a public concert for the first time in Paris. In the aspect of performance practice, both harpsichord and fortepiano used juxtapose during the transitional period, even though the music would sound better on the fortepiano especially the slow movements in Eckard’s sonatas. The early stage of French fortepiano building was influenced by German keyboard instrument builders. In addition to building harpsichords, French builders, Taskin and Goermann, also started building fortepianos. Eckard was highly respected as both a composer and a performer from music critics in his time.

Cave, Penelope. "Piano lessons in the English country house, 1785-1845." Thesis, University of Southampton, 2013. https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/366438/.

Full text

Abstract:

Two largely unexplored collections form the basis for research on the significance of piano lessons in the country homes of the British elite in the years around 1800. The owners of the music libraries were the Egerton family at Tatton Park, Cheshire and the Aclands of Killerton House, Devon. The women who married into these families, along with their children, form casestudies that stretch the boundaries of domestic amateur music-making, within an overlooked area of English keyboard repertoire. The piano was emerging as the ideal instrument for girls and women in the home, and this study examines the instruments at their disposal, providing substantial new information on the important Broadwood grand that belonged to Lydia Hoare Acland. Teachers, pupils and pedagogical tools cast light on the transition from a girl’s polite pastime to an emerging school of excellence, and this thesis examines, in detail, the practice of preluding in the education of Elizabeth Sykes Egerton, placing it against the broader background of women’s instruction in the ‘science of music’. The repertoire in the two family collections is a huge, multi-layered resource that adds colour to the outlines of early piano pedagogy, and exemplifies a breadth of skill across three or four generations. In this thesis, I place these important printed music collections in the context of additional contemporary sources, including diaries, memoirs, manuscript music and a commonplace book. Considering these collections in this wider arena, not only reveals a rich picture of early piano pedagogy, but also yields insights into the lives of the individuals who bought and used music for performance, study and sociability.

Smith, Samuel. "William Mason : nature and the English garden, 1750-1785." Thesis, University of York, 2014. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/8170/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis offers a re-assessment of the life and works of a major but neglected eighteenth-century poet, Rev. William Mason. It focuses on his diverse engagements with nature as a philosophical concept and in its domestic form, the garden. Broadly conceived of, this dissertation argues for the centrality of Mason’s Anglicanism and Whig politics to his work as a playwright, poet, and garden designer. More specifically, it argues that Mason’s writings on nature during his early career (1750-1759) are statements of orthodox belief and conservative Whiggism, which seek to defend the religious and political establishment of mid-eighteenth century Britain. In his later work, particularly in his four-volume georgic poem entitled The English Garden (1772-1783), Mason continues to use nature as a vehicle through which to espouse Anglicanism and Whiggism. Yet his position with regards to the political establishment had changed and his work in this period criticizes the government and its handling of the American War. Alongside this narrative of continuity and change, three of Mason’s garden designs are analyzed for the manner in which they physically realize the theories of his written work. Throughout the thesis Mason is treated as a writer engaged in a wide range of eighteenth-century debates and involved in a series of networks. The multifariousness of his activities necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on English literature, art history, intellectual history, political history, religious history and garden history. Identifying and analyzing the importance of orthodox Anglican belief to Mason’s work, this thesis takes issue with the methodologies currently adopted in the academic discipline of garden history. Although strong on the political and social aspects of eighteenth-century gardening, religion is often overlooked in modern garden histories. This thesis rectifies this omission by simultaneously dealing with the philosophical, political and theological issues surrounding nature and gardening in the eighteenth century.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the idea of China in British literature during a clearly defined period. Between 1757 and 1785, when Britain still had little direct contact and cultural exchange with the Chinese, China evoked various attitudes, images and beliefs in the British imagination. At times uncertain and evasive, popular understandings of China were sufficiently malleable for writers of the period to knead into domestic political satire and social discourse, giving fresh expression to popular criticisms, philosophical aspirations, and religious tensions. The period presents several prominent English, Irish, and Scottish writers who use the idea of China precisely in this manner in writings as generically diverse as drama, translation, travel writing, pseudo-Oriental letters, novels, and fairy tales. Some invoke China’s supposed defects to accentuate Britain’s material, scientific, and moral progress, or to feed contemporary debate about decadence in British society and government. Others exploit the notion of a more civilized and virtuous China to satirize what they regard as a supercilious cultural milieu attendant on their own emerging polite and commercial society, or to interrogate their nation’s moral criteria of the highest good, public-spiritedness, or evolving global enterprise. All give the idea of China new currency in the dialectical interplay between literary appeals to antiquity and the pursuit of modernity, enlisting it in philosophical and theological debates of Enlightenment. This thesis will argue that its subject writers, including Arthur Murphy, Thomas Percy, Oliver Goldsmith, John Bell, and Horace Walpole, use the idea of China to help define a British identity as culturally and politically distinct from Europe, especially France, and to contemplate Britain’s place within global history and a broadening world view at mid-century.

Full text

Abstract:

The one-dimensional model of Olufsen (2000) [*] for blood flow in the systemic arteries has been extended and built upon in a number of ways. Firstly, it has been applied to hypotheses of diseases of the systemic circulation, and that of the microcirculation. With a view to better understanding the microcirculation (the smallest vessels of the systemic circulation) and its diseases, the model has been extended to provide predictions of the propagating pressure pulse and flow rate in small arteries. Secondly, Olufsen’s model has been used as a base upon which to build a model of the pulmonary circulation, incorporating both the pulmonary arterial and venous circulations, with detailed simulations of pressure and flow predicted in the large pulmonary arteries and large pulmonary veins. To this end, a new model has been eveloped to describe a connected network of small arteries and small veins, replacing the small arterial model used as an outflow condition in the original model. A new outflow condition to describe the return of blood from the pulmonary venous system to the left atrium of the heart has also been implemented. Finally, this new pulmonary model has been applied to various hypotheses as to the causes of diseases and disorders of the pulmonary circulation, providing predictions of pressure and flow in the large pulmonary arteries and veins in both normal and abnormal circumstances, and showing agreement with clinical observations.

Full text

Abstract:

The study traces the efforts of English Nonconformists to provide chaplains for their adherents in the British Army. Unrecognised by the War Office, and opposed by the Church of England, the Wesleyan Methodists persisted in providing an unpaid civilian ministry until, by stages, they secured partial recognition in 1862 and 1881. The respect earned by volunteer Wesleyan civilian chaplains, who accompanied the troops on most colonial and imperial expeditions in the last quarter of the century, culminating in the Boer War, prompted the War Office in 1903 to offer them a number of commissioned chaplaincies. The Wesleyans declined the offer. Although they had earlier, and after anguished debate, accepted State payment of chaplains, they were not prepared to accept military control of them. In the Great War, Wesleyan chaplains were nevertheless obliged to accept temporary commissions. Congregationalists, Baptists, Primitive and United Methodists, through a United Board, provided another stream of chaplains. With the political help of Lloyd George, both sets of Nonconformists secured equitable treatment at the hands of the Church of England and, through an Interdenominational Committee, gained positions of considerable influence over chaplaincy policy. In the field, remarkably for the age, they joined with Presbyterians and Roman Catholics in a single chain of command. By 1918, over 500 Wesleyan and United Board commissioned chaplains were engaged. After the war, as the price of retaining their newly won standing and influence, both the Wesleyans and the United Board denominations accepted permanent commissions for their chaplains and their absorption within a unified Chaplains Department. Acceptability was secured through willingness to compromise on voluntaryism and conformity to the State.

Perez-Zamorano, Abel. "Property rights revolution? : liberalisation of the 'ejido' and the agro-sugar industry in Mexico." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2004. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/1785/.

Full text

Abstract:

Sugar has traditionally been one of the most important agro-industries in Mexico. In spite of possessing significant comparative advantages it has recurrently suffered from a lack of investment and poor productivity, both under private and public ownership, and during periods of Import Substitution Industrialisation and recent economic liberalisation. This thesis adopts a Neo-Institutional approach to analyse the problems of the Mexican sugar industry during the 1990s based on the study of three 'ejido' communities in the state of Puebla. The thesis argues that successive institutional arrangements, particularly the over regulated and heavily bureaucratic 'agrarian' (ejido) regime have served to constrain the production of sugar cane and the sugar agro-industry as a whole. One consequence of these conditions has been that the burden of funding the sugar agro-industry has been devolved to government, thereby making investment subject to fiscal requirements rather than market conditions. Despite a de facto and latterly more formal withdrawal of the government from funding the sugar agro-industry the investment vacuum has not been filled by the private sector. In the wake of the 1992 reforms to the agrarian law the research also considers the importance of property rights in land to the sugar sector. The thesis argues that prior to 1992, agrarian reform in combination with other economically inefficient but politically useful regulations impeded the emergence of a land market in the ejidos. Without a formal land market, ejidos undertook land subdivisions creating a minifundista scheme rather than the conditions for agricultural intensification and the realisation of economies of scale. Small parcels and insecure property rights further condemned the ejidos to under-investment and poverty. Although the 1992 reforms attempted to regularise informal land transactions, I contend that change has not matched rhetoric: massive privatisation has not occurred and bureaucratic influence remains. At the outset of the twenty-first century we continue to witness the slow self-destruction of agrarian reform.

Full text

Abstract:

This research evaluated the impact of the Family SEAL (DfES, 2006) intervention programme on children and parents in a mainstream primary school and Pupil Referral Unit. Family SEAL is a psycho-educational and experiential programme based on the Primary Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning (SEAL) curriculum, which aims to engage parents as partners in developing children’s social and emotional competence. Previous research has indicated that social and emotional literacy interventions and parenting programmes can results in positive outcomes for children in respect of their behaviour, well-being, achievement in school, social skills and emotional literacy. Research into the impact of Family SEAL has indicated that benefits associated with children’s measures of emotional literacy. This evaluation study aimed to examine the outcomes and the processes involved with the Family SEAL programme. The research was undertaken from a critical realist perspective, adopting a mixed methods research design. The impact of the programme on participants was assessed by interviewing parents/carers, children, Behaviour Support Staff (BSS - programme co-facilitators) and a class teacher. Impact was also assessed by administering Emotional Literacy (EL) Checklists and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires (SDQ) to measure aspects of children’s behaviour and emotional literacy. Questionnaires were administered before (T1) and after (T2) the programme to give a pre-post test measure of impact. Data was analysed to investigate a change in children’s behaviour and emotional literacy from T1 to T2. Qualitative data was obtained through carrying out semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was applied to the qualitative data set, using an inductive and deductive approach. The research findings revealed process and outcome factors associated with the impact of the Family SEAL programme. Process factors included: a fun and welcoming environment, skilled and sensitive programme facilitators, parents and children working together, the parent group and the Family SEAL programme content and structure. Outcome factors included: increased parent confidence, parents feel more relaxed, learned behaviour and communication strategies, improved parent/carer-child relationships and some prosocial and emotional literacy gains for children. Implications of these findings for EP practice are discussed in relation to developing and delivering the Family SEAL programme further and with regard to the evaluation process itself.

Cataloged from PDF version of thesis. "June 2017."
Includes bibliographical references (pages [214]-[224]).
In the mid-1780's a mature Etienne-Louis Boullée (1728-1799) was commissioned to redesign the royal library of the French monarchy. His proposal was expressed through twenty-six architectural drawings, but the scheme was never built. These drawings were among the last that the French architect produced. Shortly after his death Boullée fell into obscurity and remained largely unknown well into the twentieth century. He was resurrected by historians Emil Kaufmann, Helen Rosenau and Jean-Marie Pérouse de Montclos. Their publications feature only modest written synopses of the redesign of the Bibliotheque du Roi. Scholarship has since canonized these synopses. Today's historians generally agree that Boullée produced three unique elevation drawings depicting the library's primary facade and new entrance. Each drawing is recognized as a distinct yet equally feasible alternative. In this thesis I propose that only two of the three elevation drawings correspond to the library's primary facade. I assert that the third elevation drawing-the one depicting twin figures of Atlas-was intended to be situated opposite the library's new entrance and conceived to frame an urban place and house a public fountain. This thesis demonstrates that in our haste to allegorize Boullée's unbuilt redesign of the Bibliotheque du Roi we failed to adequately interrogate the architectural drawings he produced. In this thesis I unearth drawn and built architectural artifacts evidencing Boullée's forgotten fountain. My method of inquiry hypothesizes that the same discursive tools can be used to both produce and critically interrogate orthographic drawings. The practice of search in this thesis yields discovery, not through the investigation of an historical work of architecture as it relates to history, but rather through the investigation of a set of drawings as they relate to design.

Il s'agit d'une histoire de la voyance: de son resurgissement dans la modernite du xixeme siecle par le detour de la therapie de mesmer (la somnambule est d'abord voyante pour guerir); - de ses acteurs; - des filiations et des ruptures qui lient ou separent les somnambules et mediums voyantes et guerisseuses (la voyante est d'abord appelee somnambule jusqu'a la naissance du spiritisme et de la medium en 1857 puis somnambule-medium pour n'etre plus que medium au xxeme siecle). Guerisseuses et voyantes, ces femmems sont aussi visionnaires, ce travail rend compte de leurs visions, de la genese de leur construction, de leur evolution de leur transcription par ecrit et les replace dans le contexte spiritualiste et religieux du xixeme siecle. Il analyse les plus riches, celles qui ont la dimension d'utopies spiritualistes comme le spiritisme. Parmi ces mediums creatives et fecondes se distinguent ainsi des femmes qui se veulent prophetes ou messies, annonciatrices d'une nouvelle ere pour une nouvelle femme. Cette these expose la confrontation entre somnambulisme, mediumnite et medecine, physique, pose les problemes de l'hypnose, de la clairvoyance, de la telekynesie du magnetisme. .
This thesis relates for the first time the history of "somnambules magnetiques" and mediums in france from their first appearance in 1785 to world war i. This is a history of clairvoyance of - its reappearance in xixth century modernity through mesmer's therapy (the som nambule's clairvoyance is at first aimed at curing people). - its aetors. - the relations and separations between somnambules and mediums, clarvoyants and healers. The clairvoyant is first called somnambulist until the advent of spiritualism and of the medium in 1857, then medium-somnambule, then only medium in the xxth century. Those women are visionaries as well as healers and clairvoyants. This work deals with their visions, the genesis of their elaboration, their evolution and their transcription in writing, and replaces them within the spiritualist and religious context of the xixth century. It analyses the richest among those visions, those which have the dimension of spiritualistic utopies like "spiritisme". Among those creative and prolific medium some women stand out who claim to be prophets or messiahs, and foretell a new era for a new woman. This thesis expounds the confrontation of "somnambulisme" with the skills of. .

Abstract:

Fils d’un facteur de piano, Pierre Joseph Guillaume Zimmerman (1785-1853), virtuose, pédagogue, compositeur et homme du monde, trouve sa place au sein d’une pléiade de promoteurs du piano et de la littérature pianistique. Son originalité réside dans la dualité que l’on distingue entre, d’une part, sa conscience de compositeur académique héritée de Cherubini et, d’autre part, cet esprit novateur que lui inspira la modernisation de la facture instrumentale dont il suivit et entérina l’évolution. Cette thèse se veut la première monographie qui envisage les activités nombreuses et variées dans lesquelles le musicien s’illustra aux différentes époques de sa vie. La première partie traite de ses origines et de l’époque d’avant 1831. Nous nous intéressons à ses études au Conservatoire, à sa première carrière pédagogique, à ses mariages, à ses œuvres classiques pianistiques (la Sonate op. 5 et les deux concertos) et à ses deux opéras. La deuxième partie porte sur la période de 1831 à 1845. Nous parlons des lauréats sortis de sa classe qui se multiplient à l’époque, de sa méthode Encyclopédie du pianiste compositeur qui favorise le genre des études, ainsi que des soirées musicales qu’il organise dans son appartement du Square d’Orléans. La troisième partie étudie la période post-Cherubini, de 1842 à 1853. Nous y abordons sa contribution à l’organisation de l’Association des artistes musiciens, ses deux messes, ses dernières années comme professeur au Conservatoire, ainsi que l’époque postérieure à sa retraite en 1848. Le second volume d’annexes complète cette étude en présentant un arbre généalogique, les portraits et les états civils des Zimmerman, ses lettres et d’autres documents
Born as the eldest son of a piano manufacturer, Pierre Joseph Guillaume Zimmerman (1785-1853) was one of the piano promoters in the first half of the nineteenth century, this can clearly be seen from his activities as a piano virtuoso, educator, composer and socialite. His unique role consisted of his dual occupation as a successor to Cherubini in academic composition, and also his role as a passionate supporter of the modernization of the piano. This thesis is a monographic study of Zimmermann, and explores the multiple aspects of the activities in which the musician became famous for in different periods of his life. In the first part, I discuss his origins and his life before 1831. I discuss his studies at the Conservatoire, his first pedagogical contributions, his marriages, his classical piano works (Sonata op.5 and two concertos) and two operas. The second part covers the period from 1831 to 1842. I consider the increase in the number of students from his class who became winners of the annual piano competition, his method Encyclopédie du pianiste compositeur – which favours the études as a genre – and the salon concerts that he organized at his apartment in the Square d’Orléans. The third and final part relates to the post-Cherubini period from 1842 to 1853 in which I focus on his contribution to the organization of the Association des artistes musiciens, his two masses, his last years as a professor of Conservatoire, and the life after his retirement in 1848. The information provided in the second volume of annexes also highly complement this study by presenting a family tree, his portraits, civil registers of the Zimmermans, his letters and the other documents

Abstract:

This dissertation examines discourses and experiences of reproduction in Virginia, 1630-1785. I define reproduction as an experiential reality that contoured women's lives in specific ways, as a central demographic phenomenon that shaped colonial populations, and as a discourse of power in the colonial project. Informed by feminist theory, queer theory, and postcolonial theory, the dissertation examines the relationship between reproduction and colonialism in the development of a plantation economy in Virginia. I draw on a varied archive of court documents, colonial records, newspapers and other print culture, plantation records, diaries, letters, and medical texts. Chapter 1, "'A considerable parcel of breeders': Reproduction and Discourses of Racial Slavery in Colonial Virginia," examines the ways that development of racial slavery in Virginia was based, in part, on the appropriation of black women's reproduction. I examine the roots of the 1662 law that defined slavery as a condition of birth, finding the legal and cultural precedent for the law in the conflation of servitude and bastardy. I further examine the vernacular discourses of slavery that used reproduction to define enslaved people (especially women) as a kind of property legally similar to livestock. I close the chapter with a discussion of the Virginia House of Burgesses debates around defining slaves as real or personal property, and I argue that these debates were a consequence of defining slavery as a status of birth. In Chapter 2, "Wicked, Dangerous, and Ungoverned: The Transgressive Possibilities of Reproduction," I examine the ways that childbearing could transgress colonial hierarchies and boundaries, especially in cases of bastardy and interracial birth. Throughout the chapter, I am particularly interested in understanding the relationship between domination and transgression, and the specific ways that reproduction could inhabit the space between those two poles. In Chapter 3, "Knowledge 'not fit to be discust publiquely': Colonialism and the Transformation of Reproductive Knowledge," I examine the ways that colonialism transformed Virginians' reproductive episteme. I attempt to reconstruct knowledge about reproduction in this space and time, and I show how childbearing became a potent intimate zone for the negotiating of colonial power relations. In the final chapter, '"She lives in an infant country that wants nothing but people': Discourses of Reproduction, Print Culture, and Virginia's Colonial Project," I examine the competing discourses of reproduction that informed Virginia's colonial project. I argue that two competing discourses about reproduction - one that privileged "prolific reproduction" and another that privileged "rational reproduction" - show the ways that the experience of colonialism transformed ideas about reproduction. This transformation occurred because the exigencies of the colonial project prioritized the maintaining of colonial boundaries and hierarchies over the early notion of peopling a "virgin" land.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the development, role and influence of British dealers in French decorative art between 1785 and 1853. It departs from the conventional art historical perspective of antiquarianism, as posited by Wainwright and Westgarth, repositioning the dealer not simply as a retailer, instrumental in transforming the decorative art of eighteenth-century France into the cherished 'antique', but as a producer. By analysing the new furniture, bronzework and refashioned porcelain made by dealers from the perspective of the nineteenth-century patron and in the context of the interiors for which it was made, it becomes clear that far from being 'inauthentic' or 'fake', dealers created an innovative Anglo-Gallic aesthetic with its own objects, language and value, which combined the heritage of eighteenth-century French collecting taste with British preference. This was known and understood by contemporaries as 'Louis XIV' style. Part I of this thesis argues that Francophile collecting practice in Britain was transformed in the first half of the nineteenth century as dealers changed elite perception to embrace the consumption of the old and the Anglo-Gallic as well as the new. To sustain that taste, dealers established London as a rival to Paris, a vital entrepot for the trade in French decorative art. The shop, a treasure house of opulence and colour, showcased the Anglo-Gallic interior in all its potential, legitimizing the old through modernity. A study of the Wanstead House sale traces the formation and dispersal, orchestrated by the dealer, of one of the foremost Anglo-Gallic interiors of the period. P31t II analyses the furniture, bronzework and porcelain and the interiors which dealers created. Rather than a failed representation of the eighteenth century, their work emerges as a deliberate synthesis of British and French taste targeted to appeal to British taste and usage. Until the 1840s, dealers had primacy of knowledge but new works of reference and the public exhibitions of the early 1850s led to greater understanding of the decorative arts among a new plutocratic collecting class. While the Great Exhibition of 1851 represented the apogee of 'Louis XIV' style, it also challenged the future of the Anglo-Gallic interior.
