Oscar O'Flahertie Fingal Wills Wilde, born in Dublin, Ireland , was the second son of Sir William and Lady Jane Wilde. Sir William was a renowned surgeon who found himself embroiled in a sensational scandal in 1864 when Mary Travers, a former patient, informed a local newspaper that she had been chloroformed and raped. Lady Jane was a poet who stood six feet tall and claimed to be "above respectability." She loved to make a sensation and passed this passion on to her youngest son. After Trinity College, Dublin, Wilde attended Magdalen College, Oxford, where as a disciple of Walter Pater he founded the Aesthetic Movement, which advocated "art for art's sake." His aesthetic idiosyncrasies such as his wearing his hair long, dressing colourfully, and carrying flowers while lecturing Gilbert and Sullivan parodied in the operetta Patience (1881).

Search WWW Search brothersjudd.com Home Reviews Links Blog Daily Glossary Orrin's Stuff Email ... THE YARN OF THE "NANCY BELL" October 26, 2002 GILBERT OBIT: The Passing of Gilbert (1836-1911) (H. L. Mencken, May 30, 1911, The Baltimore Evening Sun) How THE COMMON American conception of the English, as a stodgy and humorless folk, could so long withstand the fact of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas must ever remain one of the mysteries of international misunderstanding. Here, indeed, was wit that Aristophanes might have fathered; here was humor that Rabelais might have been proud to own. And yet it was the work of a thorough and unmitigated Englishman of William Schwenck Gilbert, to wit a man born in the heart of London, and one who seldom passed, in all his 75 years, out of hearing of Bow Bells. Gilbert died yesterday perhaps 15 years too late. His career really ended in 1896, when he and Sir Arthur Sullivan wrote "The Grand Duke", their last joint work. They had quarreled before and made up. Now they quarreled for good. Sullivan, searching about for a new partner, found that there was but one Gilbert. Basil Hood, Comyns Carr and Arthur Wing Pinero tried their hands and failed. And Gilbert himself, seeking a new Sullivan, learned that a new Sullivan was not be found. Edward German came nearest but "The Emerald Isle" was still miles from "The Mikado." The Gilbert and Sullivan partnership, in truth, was absolutely unique. One looks in vain for parallels. Beaumont and Fletcher, Meilhac and Halevy, the Goncourts these come to mind, but differences at once appear. Sullivan, without Gilbert, seemed to lose the gift of melody, and Gilbert, without Sullivan was parted from that exquisite humor which made him, even above Mark Twain, the merrymaker of his generation. The two men, working together for 15 years, found it impossible, after their separation, to work alone. Sullivan, cast adrift, took to the writing of oratorios and presently died. Gilbert settled down as a London magistrate and convulsed the world no longer.

Every Spring their great works will be revived. They made enormous contributions to the pleasure of the race. They left the world merrier than they found it. They were men whose lives were rich with honest striving and high achievement and useful service." H L Mencken, Baltimore Evening Sun , 30 May 1911 If you want to understand Victorian culture and society, then the Gilbert and Sullivan operas are an obvious starting point. These productions were massively successful in their own day, filling theatres all over Britain. They were also a major Victorian cultural export. A new show in New York raised a frenzy at the box office and Harper's New Monthly Magazine (Feb 1886) stated that the ‘two men have the power of attracting thousands and thousands of people daily for months to be entertained.’ Some of the topical references may now be lost, but the basis of the stories in universal myths and the attack of broad targets such as class, bureaucracy, the legal system, horror and the abuse of power are as relevant today as they ever were.

The following is a Gaslight etext.... A message to you about My maiden brief by W.S. Gilbert (William Schwenk Gilbert, 1836-1911) from Cornhill Magazine (1863-dec), pp. 725-32 L ATE on a certain May morning, as I was sitting at a modest breakfast in my "residence chambers," Pump Court, Temple, my attention was claimed by a single knock at an outer door, common to the chambers of Felix Polter, and of myself, Horace Penditton, both barristers-at-law of the Inner Temple. The single knock raised some well-founded apprehensions in both our minds. "Walker!" said I to the property clerk. "Sir!" "If that knock is for me, I'm out, you know." "Of course, sir!" "And Walker!" cried Polter. "Sir!" "If it's for me, I'm not a home!" Polter always rejoiced if he could manage to make the conversation partake of a Maddisonian Mortonic character. Mr. Walker opened the door. "Mr. Penditton's a-breakfasting with the Master of the Rolls, if it's him you want; and if it isn't, Mr. Polter's with the Attorney-General." "You don't say so!" remarked the visitor; "then p'raps

Book jacket: It is properly Gilbertian that one product of the earnest and orderly Victorian age which continues vigorous and popular should be the topsy-turvy art known as Gilbert and Sullivan opera. In this lively and authoritative biography Leslie Baily sets its fascinatingly contrasted progenitors in the context of the world in which they worked and from which they drew their inspiration. W.S. Gilbert was in many ways a typical Victorian gentleman, yet his satirical absurdities often made his contemporaries uneasy; while Arthur Sullivan rose from a working-class background to become the foremost British composer of the day and the darling of smart society. With Richard D'Oyly Carte, whose business acumen allied to progressive taste catalyzed their talents, these two wrought a revolution in the theater, and Mr. Baily traces the story of their partnership from the inauspicious failure of Thespis through the dazzling succession of triumphs at home and abroad to the final series of disastrous quarrels. Text and illustrations combine to give a vivid picture of an age, and of the men who created a unique confection of mock-heroic satire, geniality, and authentic lyricism which, far from fading with the age that engendered it, still retains a special prize in the culture and affections of the English-speaking world.

Gilbert and Sullivan Archive WILLIAM SCHWENCK GILBERT William Schwenck Gilbert, born in London in 1836, was the son of a retired naval surgeon. Except for a kidnapping by Italian brigands in Italy at age two, and a ransomed release, he appears to have had a very normal upbringing. Beyond ordinary schooling, he took training as an artillery officer and was tutored in military science with hopes of participating in the Crimean War. Unfortunately for him, but not for us, he did not graduate until after the War was over. Gilbert subsequently joined the militia and was a member for 20 years. After finishing his military training Gilbert worked in a government bureau job which he hated. Upon receiving a nice inheritance from an aunt, Gilbert indulged his fancy and became a barrister. Called to the bar at age 28, Gilbert's law career, with no "rich attorney's elderly, ugly daughter" to help him escape mediocrity, lasted just a few years. Before leaving his law practice, however, he married the daughter of an army officer. Gilbert had shown a proclivity for caustic wit and sarcasm from an early age and it was this talent that put him on the path to greatness. Beginning in 1861, Gilbert contributed dramatic criticism and humorous verse (unsigned) to the popular British magazine

Here, the figures so incongrously sharing a page opening are "Sarah Grand" (i. e., Frances McFall), the notorious "New Woman" novelist who supported radical causes from marriage reform to animal rights, and W. S. Gilbert, the socially conservative librettist for Princess Ida (1884), which used Tennyson's "The Princess" to make fun of higher education for women, and Patience (1881), which satirized the male Aesthetes and their female followers. Notables of Britain was only one of many published collections that allowed bookbuyers to feel that they were receiving "inside" glimpses of Genius, however arbitrarily defined and juxtaposed. Similar titles available to consumers in the 1890s included Portraits and Autographs: An Album for the People (1890) which, for the price of one shilling and sixpence, allowed the purchaser to take home not only reproductions of photographs of everyone from "Her Majesty the Queen" to "Mr. William Morris," but reproductions of their signatures and even of snippets of their letters. Such volumes fueled the mania for studying faces, while also feeding the new passion for collecting autographs, as well as for analyzing handwriting (the latter hobby having replaced phrenology as a way of accessing the hidden truths of personality).
