Comment on Print Circulation and Reading Publics by Denis Robillard (poet)

Wow! What an awesome overview of Charlotte Nooth’s poetry. I can well imagine the time and research you committed to this endeavor and I commend you. I also have a tangential interest in the works of Charlotte through her father James, a well respected doctor living at bath and working at the new Bath infirmary. His claim to fame circa 1799 was conducting important field trials with a Nooth apparatus and carbolic acid to treat breast cancer. Charlotte was born in Dorchester in 1783 where her father worked. Aside from living in and painting and writing in ireland she also composed some of her own music as you allude to in the essay. As far as I can tell she never married. She did have contacts with other writers of her day including Byron, Mitford, Austen and Scott. She traveled and hob-nobbed with society women in Paris circa 1825. She lived for a time in Reading in died circa 1850. Indeed, further scholarship should be done on this under-appreciated female writer. I commend you once again for getting this essay out into the open concourse of ideas and expressions. PS–The Prowers, which you mention in the long list of subscribers were indeed her collateral cousins. This may explain why they purchased 10 copies of her book–a family connection of sorts! I have a sizable archives of her life and works. If you would like to share details on Nooth with a view to publication I would be interested.

Comment on Response to Melynda Nuss’s “Look in My Face”: The Dramatic Ethics of “The Borderers” by Veronica

Really interesting thoughts, Randie! I’ve been thinking about planning a course in dramatic ethnography; I imagine such a setting would be ideal for examining questions of mediality such as the one you raise regarding The Borderers.

Comment on A Dramatic Life: Byron’s biography as represented in Sardanapalus by nyurrg

Great post! I just wanted to add that Byron wrote at least part of the play in a room full of Carbonari weapons. As you so rightly point out, Byron thought that “A man ought to do more for his country than write verses.” Given the discussion of nationalism and national identity, it is interesting to note that the poet in exile took up the cause of nations other than his own – a fact that may speak to his own frustrated political ambitions in the House of Lords and his early poem on the frame breakers.

The Morgan Library has a great online exhibit on the changes in “Auld Lang Syne” and Robert Burns’ role in the editing of that traditional song and the airs with which it has been paired. Check it out:http://www.themorgan.org/exhibitions/online/AuldLangSyne/default.asp
