      Family connexions are part of the poetry of history. They call to mind the generations of men and women, who were born, married and died, and perhaps bequeathed to their descendants some trait of their personality. Some tradition of behaviour, which did not perish with the passing of years but persisted in their grandchildren and their grandchildren’s children, and so made the past immortal.

      —Noel Annan, “The Intellectual

      Aristocracy.” From The Dons:

      Mentors, Eccentrics and Geniuses.

      (HarperCollins Publishers, 1999)

      The Victorian literary and artistic scene was one in which everybody seemed to know everybody else, and the intricate network of friendships, collaborations, marriage, and families that made up this world left a rich textual record of the larger-than-life personalities and diverse achievements of a generation.

      —Natasha Moore, Victorian Connections:

      The Literary and Artistic Circles of

      William and Helen Allingham from the

      Collections of Grolier Club Members.
