 Thomas
Babington Macaulay (1800-1859) ~ The eloquent English historian
was among the earliest authors to recognize how the Industrial Revolution
enabled millions to survive and prosper. In his famous essay "Southey's
Colloquies on Society" (1830), he wrote: "In the old world, we must confess
ourselves unable to find any satisfactory record of any great nation, past
or present, in which he working classes have been in a more comfortable
situation than in England during the last thirty years. When this
island was thinly peopled, it was barbarous; there was little capital;
and that little was insecure. It is now the richest and most highly
civilised spot in the world; but the population is dense...when we compare
our own condition with that of our ancestors, we think it clear that the
advantages arising from the progress of civilisation have far more than
counterbalanced the disadvantages arising from the progress of population.
While our numbers have increased tenfold, our wealth has increased a hundredfold...
"People live longer because
they are better fed, better lodged, better clothed, and better attended
in sickness, and…these improvements are, owing to that increase of national
wealth which the manufacturing system has produced…We see in almost every
part of the annals of mankind how the industry of individuals, struggling
up against wars, taxes, famines, conflagrations, mischievous prohibitions,
and more mischievous protections, creates faster than any governments can
squander, and repairs whatever invaders can destroy. We see the wealth
of nations increasing, and all the arts of life approaching nearer and
nearer to perfection, in spite of the grossest corruption and the wildest
profusion on the part of rulers."

MacBeth is unsympathetic to the Métis cause and claims that they had no right to engage in the Resistance of 1885. The NWMP, on the other hand, are placed in a favourable light. They had done their duty in warning the authorities of the coming rebellion. When it finally did break out, they were quick to do their part in suppressing it. The book shows no indication of research or documentation. Other:
|
| Roderick George MacBeth was born in the Red River colony and
lived through both Manitoba Rebellions. His book concentrates on the events
in Manitoba, but includes two chapters on the Northwest Rebellion. He has
some sympathy for the métis and Indians plight, but depicts Riel
as an ambitious madman.

Greenery Street ~ PG Wodehouse described this 1925 novel as ‘so
good that it makes one feel that it's the only possible way of writing
a book, to take an ordinary couple and just tell the reader all about them.’
Greenery Street can be read on two levels – it is a touching description
of a young couple's first year together in London, but it is also a homage
– something rare in fiction – to happy married life. Ian and Felicity Foster
are shown as they arrive at 23 Greenery Street, an undisguised and still
unchanged Walpole Street in Chelsea. Their uneventful but always interesting
everyday life is the main subject of a novel that evokes the charmingly
contented and timeless while managing to be both funny and profound about
human relations. Denis Mackail was a grandson of Edward Burne-Jones on
his mother's side and son of JW Mackail, the eminent classical scholar;
his sister was the novelist Angela Thirkell. He wrote nearly a book a year
for thirty years.
|
| Denis Mackail wrote nearly a book a year between 1920 and 1950; and Greenery Street is the best, which was also the view of Allen Lane of Penguin, who reissued it as a very early Penguin in 1937. After his wife died, in 1949 when she was only 53, Denis stopped writing; this book remains as a memorial to their life between 1917, when they came to Walpole Street, and 1923, when they left to move to a larger house (and, coincidentally, were succeeded by the newly-married Jan Maxtone-Grahame, the 'Jan Struther' who would later write Mrs Miniver set in much the same kind of house). 'Oh dear,' Denis wrote in 1942, 'how often I dream that we are back there. For nothing can ever take the place or dull the memory of the first little house, and even Greenery Street failed to get it out of my system.' |
