‘Infinite Kindness’

A new kind of topographical writing about English village life in the 1820s established conventions for writing about provincialism that would be widely adopted in Anglophone writing throughout the century. Invented by the writer Mary Russell Mitford as a response to her financial precarity, it consisted of short, inconsequential narratives about places and characters in her own village, linked by a female narrative voice distinctive for its intimate mode of address. Despite appearing to be nostalgic in its representation of village life, this style of writing constituted a complex and significant response to global modernity and the kinds of mobility that it brought. It introduced a mode of long-distance intimacy which appealed to readers and writers who had made transoceanic journeys, and represented a way of inhabiting village space as though it were a new settlement. Published serially in a magazine, the stories were frequently reprinted. They were pirated in America, where Mitford nurtured an enthusiastic following through developing a personal network of correspondents. Her relationship with the American publisher J. T. Fields, was mutually beneficial in developing lucrative new readerships for her work, and in helping to consolidate Ticknor and Fields’s position at the forefront of the American book trade. Mitford’s village provided a frame in which to imagine transatlantic literary culture. Between the 1820s and the 1850s, the idea of the literary village transformed from being a place of fugitive living to a conservative and conserving idea of transatlantic accord in the context of settler colonialism.

Fieldwork: making methods

The opening voices (voices 5) to the chapter are those of two very early fieldworkers — Raymond Firth's Voyage to Tikopia, and W.W. Williams observations of the English Village, Gosforth. They introduce the newness and engagement with such research: they were two of our earliest pioneers. Overall, the chapter aims to capture the excitement of creating and shaping an early research methodology. It starts with a very short history of fieldwork, highlighting just how much it has changed; and then examines the ways in which some pioneers made their first forays into method, facing new problems and helping gradually to shape modern methodology. Prominent in this was the development of community studies and the rise of the interview as a method.
