You can always push the 'h' key to return to the home page while visiting the Victorian Architecture site. NOTICE: This site works best with Microsoft Internet Explorer. Click here for buildings in McHenry, Illinois. Click here for artifacts from the SIU archives. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE This site was created in order to complete the requirements of a state-sponsored grant called Museum in the Classroom. With the collaboration of Art 2 and American Studies students at McHenry High School West and the partnership with staff associated with the University Museum in Carbondale, this project is intended to help students, teachers, and community members, expand their knowledge of architecture and the Victorian Era. The purpose of this project was to give Art 2 students the opportunity build a virtual museum web page while allowing American Studies students to research the history of the Victorian Era and the history of McHenry Architecture. This site offers links to eleven buildings constructed during the Victorian Era. Links include exterior photos of all twelve buildings and interior photos of a few. Each building has accompanying text that documents the history of the buildings. Viewers will also be able to access photos and panoramas of artifacts from the Victorian era as well as, a fact sheet pertaining to these objects. Preparation for this project began in March of 2000 and was completed in May of 2000. Funding for this program was made possible by the Illinois State Board of Education as it provided schools with computer hardware and software, in addition to providing students the opportunity to attend technical training workshops and museum visits.

50. Rationale For The Victorian Authorship Web Site scholars must show specifically in their studies how texts collaborations of the pastcan inform us about the The victorian era and our current time both mark http://personal.tcu.edu/~pamore/victauth/rat.htm

Linking to the Past: Victorian Authorship and Hypertext Robert Patten, editor of Studies in English Literature , comments on what he sees as a pressing need for scholars of authorship: "I suggest that, in order to move into the mainstream, historians of the book need to devise more strategies for relating the outsides of printed materials to their insides, their modes of production to their marks of production" (1). In order to justify the study of authorship, Patten feels that scholars must show specifically in their studies how texts come to be authored. Patten suggests that " . . . [one] avenue of approach would be through the tropes of production, embedded in the texts concerning textual manufacture . . . and in the texts produced" (1). This web site seeks to respond to Patten’s call to show the relationship between the production of texts and the texts themselves, a relationship particularly apparent in the chronology and material dimensions section of this web site. Responding to Patten’s call in a larger way, however, this web site integrates Victorian authorship and the kind of collaborative authorship hypertext makes possible. There is a link yet to be exploited between hypertext and Victorian authorship. As scholars become more interested in the way language and knowledge are socially constructed, it is only natural that they would begin to examine the social construction of authorship. A social view of authorship manifests itself in the collaboration that occurs not only between authors in the production of a text, but also the collaboration between authors

For order information, see below Available titles: THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN MODERNISM Ethnic writing between the wars William Boelhower (ed.) This volume of essays on ethnic modernism in American literature marks another international sortie of European and American scholars into the currently mined field of discussion on literary historiography and the canon. The original forum was a workshop titled Ethnic Writing and the Changing Literary Canon which the editor monitored for the 1988 Berlin Conference of the European Association of American Studies. The general theme was `Looking Inward - Looking Outward: The United States from the 1930s through the 1940s'. 90-6256-917-x, Hfl. 69,50/$ 49.50/# 23.00 European Contributions to American Studies 17 LOOKING INWARD LOOKING OUTWARD From the 1930s through the 1940s Steve Ickringill (ed.) In this volume scholars from a range of discipline backgrounds, joined by their interest in the US, discuss some of the elements that make the 1930s and 1940s such an intriguing period to study. These years saw the US undergo its most sustained economic crisis and subsequently become involved in a war of unprecedented size and complexity. The country then emerged as the dominant world power, with all the strains this put on domestic American politics. In this context American creative artists looked inward at what it meant to be an American while responding to a range of impulses from other cultures. Although this is a very varied collection, there are certain concentrations of attention, notably on black writers and on the immigrant experience. The contributions in this volume were originally presented to the 1988 Berlin Conference of the European Association for American Studies

Ancestors Resources Books Web Sites Reviews Research Victorian Diaries Headmaster Mother Actor Young Lady Trace your Victorian Ancestors Guide Introduction by Anne Shepherd Queen Victoria (1819-1901) was the first English monarch to see her name given to the period of her reign whilst still living. The Victorian Age was characterised by rapid change and developments in nearly every sphere - from advances in medical, scientific and technological knowledge to changes in population growth and location. Over time, this rapid transformation deeply affected the country's mood: an age that began with a confidence and optimism leading to economic boom and prosperity eventually gave way to uncertainty and doubt regarding Britain's place in the world. Today we associate the nineteenth century with the Protestant work ethic, family values, religious observation and institutional faith.

57. Review: Victorian Painting terribly different from our own Hollywoodstamped era with its Lambourne is wrong,but he leaves us with the As a first view of victorian painting, this book http://www.usc.edu/dept/LAS/english/19c/books/rev-0-7148-3776-8.html

REVIEW Lambourne, Lionel Victorian Painting Phaidon, 1999, 512 pp., ISBN 0-7148-3776-8, $59.95 Reviewed by David Stewart, University of Alabama in Huntsville Lionel Lambourne's Victorian Painting is as panoramic, as dazzling, and as multifaceted as the view of London from the new London Eye Ferris Wheel. From such a height one sees the world as a seamless whole. We see the East End and the West End, and we see Victorian painting from Holman Hunt to Lady Butler. The view is satisfying and complete. Lambourne's book sets before us what the nineteenth-century panorama set before its audience: a remarkable substitute for the real thing. Giving us the feeling that seeing what lies on the surface is understanding, Lambourne offers us the remarkable opportunity to come to know this period through the eye alone. Victorian Painting contains the finest collection of color reproductions of Victorian works that exists today. The text is another matter. It entertains and adds to the sense of spectacle, but, as with most survey texts, it sacrifices depth of textual analysis for breadth and sweep. Lambourne leads us as if he were a tour guide, allowing us to look long enough to be satisfied, but rarely long enough to dig in. He keeps us moving with entertaining anecdotes and broad generalizations but neglects context and analysis. Victorian Painting is an overview, and not a daring attempt to set art within the complex economic, political, social, literary, and philosophical contexts of its day. By contrast, Kenneth Bendiner's

The Royal Holloway Collection Background The Collection Visiting Victorian Studies In the last years of his life, between 1881 and 1883, Thomas Holloway, a self-made multi-millionaire whose fortune had been made in patent medicines, paid well over 80,000 pounds (equivalent to more than 6 million pounds in today's terms) for the seventy-seven paintings which make up the Royal Holloway Collection. This was the final touch to Holloway's generous endowment of a College for women, founded in 1879 and opened by Queen Victoria in June 1886. Background In 1871, Holloway had initiated a public debate through the pages of The Builder , inviting suggestions as to `How best to spend a quarter of a million or more', a sum of money that he very soon doubled. In fact, it was his wife who was to suggest a college for women as the means by which Holloway's money might effect what, in his own words, he wanted to achieve: `the greatest public good'. The architect of the College
