Subject: TTHA Poems of the Month for February and March
: list
Status:
A few minutes ago, I posted Hardy's "Ice on the Highway" as the
TTHA Poem of the Month for February 2003 and "A Light Snow-Fall after
Frost" as the Poem of the Month for March. I will be travelling and away
from my books around the first of March; hence the early posting of the
March poem. These two discussions will be the second and third in a series
dedicated to a group of Hardy poems from the 1920's that seem to aspire to
a kind of camera-like narrative neutrality. I invite your contributions to
an on-line conversation about the poems over the next two months.
You can find the TTHA Poem of the Month Discussion by following the
links from the main TTHA page at
http://www.yale.edu/hardysoc/Welcome/welcomet.htm
or by going directly to
http://webboard.ilstu.edu/~TTHA_POTM_DISCUSSIONS
Whichever route you take, when you arrive at the Poem of the Month site,
you will encounter a program called WebBoard, which will give you the
opportunity to read the poems as well as any comments they may have generated,
compose a response, preview your response, edit it further if you wish, and
then post it by using the button labeled Post the Message. If you are
composing an intricate or long response, you may want to prepare your
message in a word processing program, then copy it to your clipboard before
pasting it into the message area of WebBoard. And if you prefer, feel free
to send me your contribution as an e-mail, and I will post it for you:
wwmorgan@ilstu.edu.
Besides this month's discussion and that of last month (concerning
"Winter Night in Woodland"), a full year of conversations in 2002 about
Hardy's sonnets are available at the site: April ("Hap"), May ("At a Lunar
Eclipse"), June ("She, to Him, I-IV"), July ("Her Reproach" and "Her
Confession"), August ("To an Actress" and "To an Impersonator of Rosalind,"
September ("In the Old Theatre, Fiesole," "Rome: On the Palatine," and
"Rome: Building a New Street in the Ancient Quarter"), October
("Embarcation" and "Departure), November ("The Pity of It" and "Often When
Warring"), and December ("We Are Getting to the End" and "Thoughts from
Sophocles").
The discussions of Hardy's memorial and holiday poems from August
2001 ("The Last Signal"), September ("Rome: At the Pyramid of Cestius" and
"Shelley's Skylark"), October ("At a House in Hampstead" and "At Lulworth
Cove a Century Back"), November ("To Shakespeare: After Three Hundred
Years"), December ("Lausanne: In Gibbon's Old Garden" and "George
Meredith"), January 2002 ("A New Year's Eve in War Time"), February ("The
Oxen"), March ("A Drizzling Easter Morning") are also posted at the site
and open for contributions until sometime later in the year when they will
be published in *The Hardy Review*.
The discussions of poems with female narrators ("The Dark-Eyed
Gentleman," "She At His Funeral," "Her Confession," "Tess's Lament," "The
Pine-Planters," "The Pink Frock," "The Beauty," "I Rose and Went to Rou'tor
Town," "An Upbraiding," "The Chapel-Organist," "A Sunday-Morning Tragedy,"
and "A Trampwoman's Tragedy") will soon be published in *The Hardy Review*, V.
All of the older discussions will remain posted at the site until
such time as they are edited and published in either *The Hardy Review* or
in one of TTHA's Occasional Papers.
The discussions for February, 1998 through November 1999 have been
"closed" and their contents edited and published in *The Hardy Review* [I:1
(July 1998) and 2:1 (Summer 1999)]. Likewise, the conversations from 1999
about the "Emma" poems have been published as the second of the TTHA
Occasional Series. And those concerning "Channel Firing," "Satires of
Circumstance in 15 Glimpses," "After the Visit," "To Meet, or Otherwise,"
and "A Singer Asleep" have been published in *The Hardy Review*, III
(Summer 2000). The discussions of "Nature's Questioning," "The Mother
Mourns," "The Subalterns," "The Lacking Sense," "In a Wood," "To Outer
Nature," "June Leaves and Autumn," "Wagtail and Baby," "On a Midsummer
Eve," "Afterwards," "Shut Out That Moon," "The Last Chrysanthemum," "The
Year's Awakening," and "The Night of the Dance" have been edited and
published in *The Hardy Review*, IV (Summer 2001). All of these
publications are available free or at a discounted price to TTHA
members and may be ordered by others using an on-line form available at the
main TTHA page (see the URL above).
Welcome to the TTHA Poem of the Month Discussions for February and
March 2003.
cheers,
Bill Morgan

In other news, the Book Reviews Page is undergoing the slow process of being
updated into a more user friendly and attractive format. I, computer novice
extraordinaire, am currently wrestling with Flash, in the spirit of Gandalf and
the Balrog. I believe I am winning, but it will take a long journey through the
miasma for me to emerge enlightened on the other side. When I do, look for
the unveiling of the new, "Flash-y" BRP
As always, I welcome submissions of books and articles for reviews by authors
or publishers. Please contact me at the email address above.

Subject: Death of Jerome Haminton Buckley
Dear Colleagues,
I post this from the ECLS-L and the Victorian lists--news of the death of
Jerome Hamilton Buckley, whose scholarship in the field of Victorian studies
was, for many of us, an inspiration and a guide. His *The Victorian Temper*
in 1951 was--how well I remember it!--a seminal work, and what followed
was, for many us, a *vade mecum*.
To those today, his name may scarcely be remembered. But, will you or
nill you, what he wrote continues to influence our sense of Victorian
society and, of course, of our view of Hardy.
He was a great scholar, and I want here to remember him.

Society 1880-1920"

[posted to the VICTORIA list by Mark Samuels Lasner]
In Memoriam J. H. B.
Jerome Hamilton Buckley died at age 85 on 28 January, and the
world of
Victorian studies lost one of its founding figures, as well as a
writer and
teacher whose work exemplified both sweetness and light. He
published _The
Victorian Temper_ in 1951, when the mid-19th Century was still a
laughing
matter among the transatlantic intelligentsia. This wide-ranging
reconsideration of the Victorians not only took them seriously as
poets,
novelists, and essayists, but also as painters and designers.
Indeed, Jerry
Buckley's interest in and defense of Victorian visual culture and
his linking
of disparate arts helped to initiate Victorian studies as an
interdisciplinary academic field. In the 1960s, while Gurney
Professor of
English at Harvard, he would further this championing of
interdisciplinary
approaches with _The Triumph of Time: A Study of the Victorian
Concepts of
Time, History, Progress, and Decadence_ (1966) and, most
influentially, with
his anthology _The Pre-Raphaelites_ (1968). (Before Harvard's
Fogg Art Museum
thought its magnificent collection of Rossetti and Burne-Jones
paintings
worth preserving or displaying properly, he borrowed these works
from storage
and hung them proudly on the walls of his apartment in Leverett
House, where
he and his wife, Elizabeth, served as Masters.)
But the Victorian about whom he wrote with greatest sympathy was
Tennyson,
subject of his 1960 study, _Tennyson: The Growth of a Poet_. In
1958, he also
produced an edition of Tennyson's poems and, in 1963, of _Idylls
of the
King_. His fascination with the principles of growth and
development--whether
in the human personality or in literary texts-- led, too, to his
1974 book,
_Season of Youth: The Bildungsroman from Dickens to Golding_ and
to _The
Turning Key: Autobiography and the Subjective Impulse since 1800_
(1984). At
the same time, he selflessly cultivated growth and development
among those
around him, giving support and encouragement to countless
graduate students
(first at Wisconsin and Columbia, then at Harvard) and creating
several
generations of Victorianists, all of whom revered and loved him
for his
generosity of spirit, his kindness, and his deliciously
self-deprecating
sense of humor.
His readers, his students, his friends, and the entire community of
Victorianists who continue to benefit so much from his pioneering
work now
say, "Far off thou art, but ever nigh; I have thee still, and I
rejoice."

Hearty congrats Shannon for all you are doing for lazy lurkers like me! But we do not expect you to go to such lengths as to attempt to wrestle with Flash Gordon. Perhaps on behalf of Gandalf we should suggest you remain with html and keep well clear of the wicked ways of flashy programmers. (Should there be just 1 'm' in the last word?) Take great care! Yours Roy
