Book excerpt: Excerpt from Time, Vol. 5: A Monthly Miscellany of Interesting and Amusing Literature Mr. Robert W. Edis, the well-known architect, in his Decora tion and Furniture of town-houses, a republication, with illustra tions and additions, of his Cantor Lectures, delivered last year before the Society of Arts, writes admirably upon the present unsatisfactory terms of leasehold tenure, ' and their unfortunate effect upon all London habitations, inside and out, especially in relation to artistic sentiment, taste, and work. The ordinary class of landlords ofi'er no inducements to tenants to improve their dwellings under the usual clauses of dilapidations and general maintenance, they compel the tenant at the end of a seven years' lease to entirely repaint and paper their property, and claim all fittings that may be fixed to the walls as their own. They offer no encouragement to a careful or improving tenant, and, as a rule, will allow nothing for improvements; while too often the unfortunate tenant finds, when it is too late, that he has taken a house in which he has to lay out large sums of money before it can be made fairly habitable, with no chance of getting back any portion of his outlay: the drains are found utterly wrong; the miserable deal joiner's-work is glossed over with imitation graining of other woods; the still worse plaster work is made to look fair and pleasant to the eye by a cost or two of distemper; and the wretched scamping nature of the work only becomes apparent after the tenant has been in possession a few months, and has bound himself by covenants which will not only materially increase his annual rent, but be found a source of con tinual expense and annoyance to him during his tenancy.'

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Time, 1879, Vol. 1: A Monthly Miscellany of Interesting and Amusing Literature I cannot permit this Magazine to reach its sixth number, and thus complete its first volume, without a few words of grateful acknowledgment to the public who have lent me such warm support in my new enterprise. It was because I believed that there was not merely room, but an actual demand, for a magazine of the character of Time, that I was induced to start it just half a year ago. The result has completely realised my expectations; and the substantial encouragement which I have received is at once the best reward my venture could have, and the greatest stimulus to additional exertions.

Download or read book Culture Philanthropy and the Poor in Late Victorian London written by Geoffrey A. C. Ginn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2018 Choice Outstanding Academic Title ******************************** The Late-Victorian cultural mission to London’s slums was a peculiar effort towards social reform that today is largely forgotten or misunderstood. The philanthropy of middle and upper-class social workers saw hundreds of art exhibitions, concerts of fine music, evening lectures, clubs and socials, debates and excursions mounted for the benefit of impoverished and working-class Londoners. Ginn’s vivid and provocative book captures many of these in detail for the first time. In refreshing our understanding of this obscure but eloquent activism, Ginn approaches cultural philanthropy not simply as a project of class self-interest, nor as fanciful ‘missionary aestheticism.’ Rather, he shows how liberal aspirations towards adult education and civic community can be traced in a number of centres of moralising voluntary effort. Concentrating on Toynbee Hall in Whitechapel, the People’s Palace in Mile End, Red Cross Hall in Southwark and the Bermondsey Settlement, the discussion identifies the common impulses animating practical reformers across these settings. Drawing on new primary research to clarify reformers’ underlying intentions and strategies, Ginn shows how these were shaped by a distinctive diagnosis of urban deprivation and anomie. In rebutting the common view that cultural philanthropy was a crudely paternalistic attempt to impose ‘rational recreation’ on the poor, this volume explores its sources in a liberal-minded social idealism common to both religious and secular conceptions of social welfare in this period. Culture, Philanthropy and the Poor in Late-Victorian London appeals to students and researchers of Victorian culture, moral reform, urbanism, adult education and philanthropy, who will be fascinated by this underrated but lively aspect of the period’s social activism.
