There is a memorial plaque to him in the small village church of Strensham, Worcestershire. The figure of Hudibras is a "true blew Englishman," a perfect Puritain knight of the Cromwellian stamp (see the entry on Oliver Cromwell for more). Butler pretends to write a fawning, heroic poem in praise of Hudibras and his exploits, but the poem is a mock heroic or parody "Hudibras" was written in an iambic tetrameter in closed couplets, with surprising feminine rhymes. This verse form is now referred to as "Hudibrastic." Consider the following from the opening of the poem, where the English Civil War is described thus: "When civil dudgeon first grew high

bestel biografie cartografie HOME ... reisgidsen Liefde op het eerste gehoor Samuel Butler en G.F. Händel, een biografisch essay Samuel Butler (1835-1902) is vooral bekend vanwege zijn autobiografische roman The Way of All Flesh, een klassieker in de Engelse literatuur. Daarin beschrijft hij op satirische wijze zijn opvoeding in een Victoriaans predikantengezin. Butlers belangstelling was echter veel breder. Hij deed van zich spreken door zijn verbeten strijd met Darwin over de evolutieleer. Hij schilderde en toen hij eenmaal met een camera kon omgaan, maakte hij een aantal originele foto's. Butlers originaliteit en veelzijdigheid blijken eveneens uit zijn vertalingen van de Ilias en de Odyssee in alledaags Engels. Dat Butler musiceerde en componeerde is minder bekend. Toch speelde muziek een beslissende rol in zijn leven, vooral die van Georg Friedrich Händel (1685-1759). Händel heeft hem zijn hele leven begeleid, vanaf zijn vroegste jeugd in Engeland, in Nieuw-Zeeland en op zijn reizen door Italië: 'In fact I should say he and his music have been the central fact in my life ever since I was old enough to know of the existence of either music or life.' In Londen leefde Butler bescheiden en sober. Toen hij na de dood van zijn vader in goeden doen kwam, kocht hij alleen een nieuw wasbekken en een nieuwe haarborstel. Vaak was hij te zien in de leeszaal van het British Museum. Zijn vriendenkring was klein. De onconventionele Miss Savage was zijn beste vriendin. Zij las alles over zijn schouder mee en inspireerde hem tot het schrijven van The Way of All Flesh.

Society Summary Higgs, a sheep farmer, and Chowbok, an old man, decide one day to visit the forbidden country that lies beyond the mountains. When they find a pass through the mountains, Chowbok gets frightened and runs home, so Higgs goes on alone. After a dangerous journey, he wakes one morning surrounded by beautiful shepherdesses. They take his belongings, give him a medical exam, and throw him in jail. There he learns that he has come to Erewhon (an anagram for nowhere). In this country, illness is considered a crime. Sick people are thrown in jail; sickness is their own fault. Even sad people are imprisoned, for grief is a sign of misfortune and people are held responsible for actions that made them unfortunate. People who rob or murder, on the other hand, are treated kindly and taken to the hospital to recover. No machines are allowed in Erewhon as one philosopher thought that machines could rapidly evolve and take over the world.

His most famous works, Erewhon Erewhon Revisited and The Way of All Flesh made him a cult figure in Britain and a leader in the intellectual emancipation from Victorian values. After his arrival in Lyttelton in 1859, Butler explored the Canterbury high country, found unclaimed sheep country, registered his claim against a rival after a famous race to Christchurch and called his station Mesopotamia ('between two rivers'). Resourceful and energetic, he doubled his capital and freed himself from the dominance of his father and the Anglican church at a time of great intellectual perplexity over the troubling findings of Charles Darwin. In the early chapters of Erewhon , Butler gave a realistic picture of the Canterbury high country and the land 'over the range', but the focus of the book is on the England he satirised through his description of Erewhonian society.
