I like Robin Goodfellow an unhealthy amount and have put my own version of him in my DnD games and stories as this legendary patron who can give aid in exchange for some pretty BIG favors...

I cannot articulate how much I love Henry Chettle's (*cough cough* assuming he didn't plagiarize more folklorists and pamphleteers besides Shakesepeare...) version of this literal chaos incarnate fae who is only still known because he somehow escaped a massive book burning and folklore scrubbing in the 1600-1700s.

Robin Goodfellow, usually going by Puck, is one of the most reported fae in written record to Titania/Mab and Oberon.

That's wild, isn't it? He literally is credited with DOZENS and DOZENS of stories because we have lost the names (if ever catalogued) of the fae who those tales were originally written about...

what does your blog title mean ?

in modern spelling it would be "such like raise-velvet terms," "raise-velvet" meaning pretentious, affectedly elegant. it's from Henry Chettle's "The pleasant comodie of patient Grissil":

this is one of those changeable Silk gallants, who in a verie scuruie pride, scorne al schollers, and reade no bookes but a looking glasse, and speake no language but sweet Lady, and sweet Signior and chew between their teeth terrible words, as though they would coniure, as complement and Proiects, and Fastidious, and Caprichious, and Misprizian, and the Sintheresis of the soule, and such like raise veluet tearmes.

Chettle House

[sarahdgordon]

Although it’s the history of the area where I grew up that inspired my book The Diary, my love of genealogy also played a part. With family history records such a births, deaths and marriages being so readily available online, tracing ancestors has become a lot easier. Occasionally, however, a record of a different sort can give a remarkable glimpse into the lives of those that came before us, albeit in this case, a sad one.

Dorcas Annie Rideout was my great-great grandmother on my mother’s side and was born in the village of Chettle in Dorset in 1865.

She was born to Anthony Rideout and Eliza Lane and married John Rose or Roles in 1882 in Christchurch Dorset. (I had the lovely experience of visiting Chettle and was given the key to open the little church where Dorcas was baptised. The original font is still there).

Dorcas and John went on to have one child, Eliza Mabel May. This was unusual for the time to have only one child and usually meant that other pregnancies failed, or infants were stillborn. A chance discovery of a record on the National Archive website pointed to why this may have been the case for Dorcas.*

In December of 1900, Dorcas was admitted to the Herrison Hospital in Dorset. Herrison Hospital at time was a lunatic asylum. From viewing her admittance records, known as the Pauper Lunatic Reception Records, two small readable entries amongst the indecipherable physician’s script were enough to tell the sad story of Dorcas’s last years.

The admittance record has Dorcas listed as divorced. Further research shows that she was divorced in 1897, the petition brought against her by her husband. The co- respondent was named as Henry Francis who was a Hansom Cab company owner. On the 1891 census record, John Rose’s occupation is listed as cab driver. Make of that what you will.

The admittance records also show that Dorcas’ last address before being admitted to Herrison Hospital was Blandford Workhouse. This means that having no one to support her after he divorce and no means to support herself, Dorcas, and presumably her child Eliza, my great grandmother, had no choice other than the enter the workhouse. As no records exist for the Blandford workhouse, it is not known when she was first admitted but it is likely it was around the time of her divorce.

She was admitted to the asylum after she was found ‘wandering.’ The nurse’s notes in the photograph give a graphic description of the state she was in.

 Dorcas was only in the asylum for 5 months before she died, her cause of death listed as General Paralysis, which in other words means Dorcas died of syphilis that she had contracted at some point in her short life. Not uncommon, syphilis was also the probable reason she only had one living child and would lead to thinking that she contracted it around the time of her daughter’s birth in 1883. Untreatable in the 1880’s, Dorcas would have lived with the disease for years until the bacteria eventually infected her brain, resulting in psychosis and ultimately her death.

Her child Eliza, 18 years old when her mother died, went on the marry a Mr Thomas Gritt, and had three children by him. But none of those were my grandmother. The father of my grandmother was another man who appeared to have lived two separate lives, but that’s another story.

*There is a something written next to the entry marked ‘children’ on Dorcas’s admittance records that is hard to make out. Possibly says ‘she says she has 6 other children dead’.

The Journey After the Crown

Another book my friend and I pre-ordered. Historical fiction set early in Queen Elizabeth's reign so it was quite timely considering the Platinum Jubliee this past weekend!

After the untimely death of their mother, Violet and Daisie Chettle, nineteen-year-old twins, lose their father as well. They begin work as maids. Violet is good at her work while Daisie is the opposite. Despite Daisie's poor work, the women land jobs on the Queen's royal ship on a 1954 journey to Australia: the Queen's first with Prince Philip.

Violet is consumed with love for the Queen. She wants nothing more to make her journey the best it can be. Daisie, on the other hand, would rather join in mingling with the royals instead of doing her work. The sisters begin to grow apart. Especially when a secret Violet has been keeping is revealed.

This book had some good parts. The writing, though, left something to be desired. About 25 or 30 pages in, I asked myself if the author was male. Obviously yes. I don't read a lot of books by men. Not on purpose. I just must be drawn to female writers.

I rated this three stars on Goodreads. If I could, I would have rated it three and a half. It was above average but not by much.

“The publishing revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries witnessed an explosion of printed material, democratising information and pushing it into the hands and sight of more people than ever before. A large single sheet of cheap paper could be printed with a proclamation, adorned with a woodcut, and sent out among the masses. These broadsides were sold for a penny on street corners, pasted on ale-house walls, and stuck up on market posts. In 1592, the playwright and stationer Henry Chettle described how ballads “infected London the eie of England”, then travelled through the country via ballad-mongers, who could “spred more pamphlets by the State forbidden than all the Booksellers in London”.1 There was a hunger (then as now) for tales of sex and scandal and, for the first time, a network of illustrators, printers, and distributors were able to glut this desire. The Jacobean playwright Thomas Middleton referred to ballads as “fashions, fictions, felonies, fooleries”.2 Cheap print was the medium of the masses, and the crude woodcuts were the visual language of Early Modern England. This revolution in publishing coincided with what has been termed “the European witch-craze”: a moral panic and collective psychosis that spread through Europe and Scandinavia during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The seed of this hysteria was planted in 1484 when two Dominican Inquisitors appealed to Pope Innocent VIII for permission to launch a witch hunt, and he responded by issuing a papal bull authorizing their efforts. Two years later they published their treatise, the Malleus Maleficarum (“Hammer of the Witches”), which, for the first time, elevated witchcraft to the crime of heresy and justified its extermination with papal authority. Leaning heavily on the supposed papal endorsement, the Malleus Maleficarum painted a terrifying picture of witchcraft and preached the absolute necessity of vanquishing this largely unrecognised evil.” ..... “ The folkloric image of the crone was established through these images and repeated in similar pamphlets over the next century. These witches were usually bitter old women, who lived on their own, and kept cats or other animals as pets. The Wonderful Discoverie of the Witchcrafts of Margaret and Phillip Flower, Daughters of Joan Flower neere Beuer Castle (1619) and A Most Certain, Strange and True Discovery of a Witch (1643) are particularly famous examples that reinforced this archetype. Latent sexism and fear of those who lived on the fringe of society doubtless motivated much of this persecution.”

A while ago I was looking through the Directory of London for the year 1794 to see what women were listed as running businesses that year, and I wanted to put the ones I found here in case anyone else finds the list interesting: Elizabeth Andrews, goldsmith and jeweller Rose Beckford, merchant Susanna Bower, orange merchant Mary Burt, ironmonger Alice Butler, hatmaker Eliz. Carson & Co, Letter Founders Ann Centlivres, merchant Sarah Chettle, oil and color shop Penelope Clarke, fan maker Mary Clement, China and Glass Seller Eliza Cock, biscuit baker Ann Cope, silk mercer Susanna Curteis, brewer Mary Deacon, manchester warehouse Ann Ducroz, Flower & Ostrich Feather Manufacturer Sarah Evans, Silk Dyer Eliz. & T. Gillepsey, coal factors and sail makers Elizabeth Harlow, Bookseller Mary Harris, silk throwster Sarah Hill, Oil & Hop Merchant Mary, Thomas, and John Jackson, Coal Merchants Elizabeth Jagelman, biscuit baker Sarah James, Cooper Ann Jones, plumber Phoebe Kemerer, Tanner Hannah Leaverston, Ship & House Brazier Charlotte Matthews, Merchant Jane Mayor, brass founder Elizabeth Mock, carpet warehouse Mary Napper, Dyer and Calico Printer Elizabeth Newball & Co, Coach-Founders Elizabeth Newberry, Bookseller and Stationer Mary Noble, rag merchant Beliza Oldham, Button-seller Ann Oram, Plumber and Glass-cutter Jane Robertson, Turner & Toy Dealer Mary Shirley, Cooper Hannah & Thomas Sibley, Haberdashers and Glovers Mary Smith, carpet warehouse Elizabeth Swain, Upholsterer Ann Thwaites, Brandy and Rum Merchant Mary Wilkinson, Block-Maker Some notes:

- That’s a lot of different occupations represented! Sure, we have some things that we might consider stereotypically feminine work - fan makers, button-sellers, and hatmakers - but we have even more women working in occupations where we might not expect to find them - coopers, smiths, plumbers, and tanners. 

- A few of these women probably apprenticed into their trades, but I’m betting that most of them are widows. And that’s important, because every occupation that we see women taking over from their husbands when widowed is an occupation that the widow must have participated in, to some extent, when her husband was alive, or she wouldn’t have the skills necessary to take over the shop when he died. That means that we can expect that lots of other businesses on this list were also making use of female labor - a business owner’s wife is only very rarely listed as a co-owner, but that doesn’t mean that she might not be doing the same sort of work that he is. 

- Romance novels set during this time period tend to be about the upper classes, where women were expected not to work (which, to be clear, left them with about three fewer employment options than men of the same social class), and where marriage was therefore very important. But I have to figure that who you married was also pretty important for middle-class women - after all, it looks like who you married might well decide what sort of work you were doing for the rest of your life! - No, I don’t have any idea what an “Ostrich Feather Manufacturer” is.

- It should be noted that this is a list of a few dozen female tradespeople out of a list of thousands of men (although there are probably a few other women on the list that we can’t be sure of, since some people go only by initials or last names). The vast majority of people who ran their own businesses were still men; I am not claiming that the 1700s were an egalitarian era, or that all of the options open to men were also open to women. But I think this still tells us something about what middle-class women were doing in this time and place, and the answer is that they were doing a LOT of things.
