 Nineteenth-Century Criticism on the Novel
In 1865, at the age of twenty-three, James had already begun to distinguish between what came to be known as the concepts of telling and showing.
On the other hand, James often insisted throughout his career, as he does when discussing morality and the novel in "Preface to The Portrait of a Lady," that the true measure of a novel should be whether it is "genuine," "sincere," and "the result of some direct impression or perception of life" (484).
James assumes that realist novelists could create a world so totally absorbing that the reader would continuously suspend recognizing the actual fictionality of the story in hand.

 TheFreeBookShop.com - Library - Edward Bulwer Lytton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Bulwer became estranged from his mother for a period: she stopped his allowance because of his marriage, and he had to descend to the drudgery of authorship and journalism to support himself and his wife in the style to which they had become accustomed, with a carriage, horses, entertaining friends and so on.
Bulwer was knighted in 1837, and on his mother’s death in 1843 he succeeded to Knebworth and took the name Bulwer-Lytton.
One can’t blame Bulwer for the rise of the Nazis — Hitler doubtless would have found some other catalyst for his foul dreams; but in view of the way the 20th century’s blood-drenched history developed, it could be argued that Bulwer was among the most influential authors who ever lived.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.04.02
Bulwer's decision to abandon his project can be seen as an implicit assessment of his achievement as an historian.
Bulwer's parallel between Spartan ephors and modern representatives was truly perceptive; however, it tells us that he identified democracy with the direct presence of the people and thus deemed it incompatible with both large states and representation.
Related to this aspect is finally Bulwer's interesting observation concerning the revolutionary role of the tyrant as the leader who is able to interpret the "principles" of his time and accelerate the historical process in a way ordinary politicians (and politics) cannot do.

Bulwer was "a writer of defective accomplishment." This judgement includes his many forays into the unnatural, the supernatural, and the Gothic.
Like Godwin, Bulwer manipulates the devices and atmosphere of the Gothic to intensify his political message.
Bulwer's narrative is a reworking of many of the motifs not only of his previous novels but also of the post-Jacobin reformism of William Godwin and others of the Shelley circle."

Colman had been collecting Norwich School paintings since the 1850s under the guidance of James Reeve, Curator of Norwich Museum from 1851-1910, and it was Reeve who selected the paintings that formed the bequest.
James Reeve FGS (1833-1920), who acted as adviser to J. Colman, was ahead of his time and laid the foundations for future research on the Norwich School.
The museum owes its greatest debt to the bequest in 1946 of Russell James Colman, the son of J. Colman.

James Morwood's excellent collection of essays, from contributors who are professional Classics teachers, charts the changes of this period (1960 to the present), showing the undoubted decline in the numbers of those taking classical subjects, but also stressing the gains to which this enforced reform has led.
This is a story of decline but also one of inventiveness and dedication which has prevented Classics from disappearing from the curriculum altogether.
It is possible now to begin the classical languages as an undergraduate at university even on a full Classics course at Oxford or Cambridge, and there are now a wide range of options from Classical Archaeology and Ancient History to many combinations of Classics with other subjects (Modern Languages, Philosophy, English and others).

 Radio Dialogs II - Arno Schmidt
Schmidt again is very good in pointing out influence and regard, something otherwise easily overlooked, and while he skims across the surface manages still to provide a great deal of salient detail, giving a better impression of the man's accomplishments and significance than most full-length biographies or studies.
As mentioned in the Stifter dialogue, Schmidt has a weakness for writers capturing their times, and Bulwer fit the bill with the novels that were "comprehensive portraits of the age" -- which include, of course, the two novels Schmidt translated.
The final dialogue is about James Joyce, written for the twenty-fifth anniversary of his death.
