  John James - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John James (1672-1746) was an architect particularly associated with Twickenham in west London and the design of church buildings - a vocation perhaps partly explained by his being the son of a Hampshire parson, also named John James.
The young John attended the Holy Ghost School, Basingstoke, of which his father was headmaster.
Slightly further afield, he was responsible for recasing the tower of St Alfege's Church in Greenwich, London after it became unsafe (the tower was the only remaining part of an older church, the rest having also collapsed and been replaced by a new church designed (c.1714) by Nicholas Hawksmoor).

 John Anderson: James Essay
The conflict James felt between his loyalty to his father and his admiration for Minnie expressed itself, according to Habegger, by rewriting Minnie's life in such a way as to neutralize her threat to women's conventional roles.
James began to write the novel soon after the death of his parents and Wilky in 1882 and 1883, losses which brought back memories of the war years.
James declined to participate in love or war; he stayed on the sidelines in the battle of the sexes as well as the war between the states, a casualty of the obscure hurt that was both personal and national in his mind.

 Frankly Espousing - John James, Collected Poems, review by Stephen Burt
O’Hara’s most recent UK fans (John Stammers comes to mind) have sanded and planed the style he created until the results fit older measures of closure; James presents instead the gregarious, sometimes frustrating style in all its rough charm and sprawl.
James’ work darkened, and grew more political, around 1978: not coincidentally, those years also saw his most overt and extensive use of music, from Satie to Bob Dylan and beyond.
James’ consistent weaknesses are disorganization, garrulity, and a willingness to settle for in-jokes or mere records of experience: his strengths are spontaneity, vivid responsiveness, and a sense that in his poetry (even more than in real life) absolutely anything could come next.

John and his brother James were the third and fourth fishermen (see The Fisher) of the Sea Of Galilee that Jesus had called to service that day (brothers Andrew and Peter were the first two).
John and Peter quickly ran to the tomb (John was apparently more physically fit than Peter, since he arrived at the tomb well ahead of Peter) and discovered the empty burial cloth and strips of linen.

 James Wierzbicki / John Adams
Most Adams watchers figured the composer was jocularly celebrating the end of his involvement with Minimalism when in 1982 he unveiled ''Grand Pianola Music,'' a loud, garish and deliberately banal piece of pop-colored fluff that carries the idea of minimal rhythms and harmonies to an absurd conclusion.
With all its changes of tempo and texture, the score for ''Nixon in China'' only appears to hold to conventional operatic format; in fact, most of its segments are very much in the Minimalist vein, and most of them traffic heavily in Adams' worn-out Minimalist clichés.
Next to the uncanny physical resemblance baritone James Maddalena bore to the title character he was portraying, the first thing that struck me during the Oct. 22 premiere of ''Nixon in China'' was how weak the music sounded in comparison to the theatrical music of Philip Glass.
