Although Samuel and his family had made plans for him to enter the ministry, he began to have doubts about his religion and ordination. After Cambridge, he worked briefly among the poor in London as a lay minister while trying to decide his future. In 1860, he emigrated to New Zealand and became a successful sheep rancher while publishing articles in the local press. Four years later, he returned to England, where he studied to become a painter and continued his writing. Much of Butler's work concerns his two primary interests, religion and evolution. He was particularly intrigued by the writings of Charles Darwin, an interest reflected in the extremely successful

He was educated at Shrewsbury school, and at St. John's College, Cambridge. He took a high place in the classical tripos of 1858, and was intended for the Church. His opinions, however, prevented his carrying out this intention, and he sailed to New Zealand in the autumn of 1859. He owned a sheep run in the Upper Rangitata district of the province of Canterbury, and in less than five years was able to return home with a moderate competence, most of which was afterwards lost in unlucky investments. The Rangitata district supplied the setting for his romance of Erewhon, or Over the Range

Hudibras by Samuel Butler. Hudibras was written between 1660 and 1680 and is a satire on the Cromwellians and on the Presbyterian church written by a confirmed Royalist and Anglican. Hudibras, a colonel in the Cromwellian army, is involved in various comic misadventures and is shown to be stupid, greedy and dishonest. The poem is very well written in Chaucerian couplets and was popular for about 150 years, as long as its political attitudes were also popular. The Nineteenth Century saw the re-invention of Cromwell in the popular imagination from usurper and tyrant to heroic upholder of English freedom, and Hudibras was out.

51. The Satire Of Samuel Butler The satire of samuel butler. A satire of academia. http://www.theabsolute.net/minefield/butler.html

The Satire of Samuel Butler - The Colleges of Unreason - (An excerpt from Erewhon - first published 1872) Our brave author has ventured over the forbidding range which separates his homeland from the strange and isolated land of Erewhon. He discovers this land to be occupied by a developed civilization and is made a guest by the Erewhonian people. After several months he is allowed to visit the hallowed Colleges of Unreason . . . A fter supper Mr. Thims told me a good deal about the system of education which is here practised. I already knew a part of what I heard, but much was new to me, and I obtained a better idea of the Erewhonian position than I had done hitherto: nevertheless there were parts of the scheme of which I could not comprehend the fitness, although I fully admit that this inability was probably the result of my having been trained so very differently and to my being then much out of sorts. The main feature in their system is the prominence which they give to a study which I can only translate by the word "hypothetics." They argue thus that to teach a boy merely the nature of the things which exist in the world round him, and about which he will have to be conversant during his whole life, would be giving him but a narrow and shallow conception of the universe, which it is urged might contain all manner of things which are not now to be found therein. To open his eyes to these possibilities, and so to prepare him for all sorts of emergencies, is the object of this system of hypothetics. To imagine a set of utterly strange and impossible contingencies, and require the youths to give intelligent answers to the questions that arise therefrom, is reckoned the fittest conceivable way of preparing them for the actual conduct of their affairs in after life.

Home Return to News Samuel Butler: The Mid-Victorian Modern Revisited The 19th-century English satirist Samuel Butler, author of Erewhon and The Way of All Flesh , is the subject of the main summer exhibition at the Chapin Library of Rare Books, Williams College. This year, 2002, marks the 100th anniversary of Butler's death. The Chapin Library contains one of the world's most important Samuel Butler collections, including books, manuscripts, critical works, and memorabilia. From this collection some five dozen items have been selected which trace Butler's life and diverse career as a writer, painter, composer, photographer, New Zealand pioneer and sheep farmer, authority on evolution, proponent of a female author of Homer's Odyssey , art historian, and notable eccentric. Butler's major writings are shown in first and important later editions, many of them the author's personal copies or copies presented to friends, and some accompanied by autograph letters or with annotations by the author. Among the major manuscripts shown are Butler's satire The Fair Haven ; the score for Narcissus , an amusing cantata in the style of Handel; and two volumes of the master copy of Butler's manuscript note-books, a record of his most pungent wit. Also on display are six original paintings by Butler, a selection of his photographic work, and one of his typewriters.

[Content] www.literaryheritage.org.uk Home People Places Themes ... Site map Samuel Butler Profile Novelist and satirist; born in Nottinghamshire, the son of a vicar. His father was a cruel man who beat his son daily and was duly hated for this. Samuel Butler was to recreate the pain and despair of his childhood years in his final novel The Way of All Flesh In January, 1846, he went to school at Allesley, near Coventry and in 1848, at the age of twelve, he was sent to Shrewsbury School , then under the headship of Dr. Kennedy (Dr. Skinner in the novel). At Shrewsbury he was able to visit his aunt and uncle, the Bathers, at their Meole Brace home. Samuel did not enjoy the hard life at Shrewsbury School under the fearsome Dr. Kennedy but he did at least escape his father's merciless beatings. Again, he recalled his Shrewsbury schooldays in The Way of All Flesh , disguised as Roughborough, although his portrayal of the school is generally considered to be somewhat less than objective. He left in 1854 for Cambridge after which he travelled to New Zealand where he succeeded as a sheep breeder (described in his A First Year in Canterbury Settlement (1863). He returned to England and wrote one of his best known novels

Bibliography Samuel Butler was born at Langar Rectory in Nottinghamshire, in 1835. He was both the son and grandson of leading churchmen, and from an early age he was expected to follow the same path as his father and grandfather. After attending schools in Allesley and Coventry, he began his studies at St John’s College in 1854. Henry Festing Jones, Butler’s close friend, suggests that as an undergraduate Butler showed no aptitude for study, but impressed those who knew him as likely to make his mark. In 1858 he took his degree and was bracketed twelfth in the Classical Tripos. After completing his studies he moved to London to begin preparing for his proposed ordination by living among the poor and doing parish work. However, Butler’s work with the Church lead to serious doubts about the efficacy of infant baptism; he discovered that there were no detectable differences in the morals or behaviour of boys who had been baptised, and of those who had not, and in the end he rejected the religious career he was expected to pursue. Butler’s aspirations were now directed away from the Church to his new chosen career as a painter. However, this decision did not meet with his family’s approval. In order to put some distance between himself and his family Butler emigrated to New Zealand, in 1859, and became a sheep farmer.
