CALVERT-STANGER-MOORSOM
LIBRARY
PROVENANCE OF NOTE
A library spanning four generations of a most remarkable family. Divided by inheritance, between Raisley and Jermyn
Moorsom, another part of which forms the Moorsom Collection of the Wordsworth Trust.
“A youth (he bore
The name of Calvert) Wordsworth. The Prelude XIII 349-50

One of the enchantments and enrichments of rare books and manuscripts is the discovery of an added
element which illuminates our perception - of an unchronicled moment in history, of a hidden relationship: a
gateway into an uncharted territory, which makes the item totally unique, and transforms it in some way.
The association may be simple, it may be so complex that the truth of it has been lost in time. Sometimes an
inscription adds a note to history, and occasionally may rewrite history. Undoubtedly many important
association copies of books and manuscripts have been lost for ever simply because their provenance went
unrecognised.
As private libraries and personal collections amassed over several generations are with increasing frequency
inherited, sold and dispersed, the associations of the books from them can become more difficult to identify
or decipher.
Here is one such library – with literary associations from its beginnings in the Lake District at Calvert’s Windy
Brow and Greta Bank; Brown’s Tallantire Hall, to Mary Stanger’s home at Fieldside, inherited by Jermyn
Moorsom, taken to Hawick, then to Durrus Court in West Cork, and now partly catalogued here. Many other
items are incomplete or damaged through neglect…
Take a glance through this catalogue – looking closer you will catch here associations not only within each
book, but associations between books and people which tell a veiled tale of their time, their owners, the social
milieu, and of their respective loss if not treasured.

William Calvert (1770-1829) of Windy Brow and Greta Bank. School friend of Wordsworth. A not insubstantial inheritance enabled him to be an experimental farmer and
inventor. He loved “electricity and the electrical machine”. He built the zigzag path to the summit of Latrigg.
Wordsworth stayed with William Calvert in 1793 in the Isle of Wight, and Calvert paid Wordsworth’s expenses when they toured together (Wordsworth’s experiences on
Salisbury Plain being as a result of their carriage overturning). William provided Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy their first home together at Windy Brow. When
Wordsworth asked for money to enable him to take William’s brother, Raisley to Portugal, William offered to pay all costs. Raisley’s legacy was increased by William to enable
Wordsworth to live comfortably as a poet.
When Samuel Taylor Coleridge, his wife Sara and their son Hartley came to live in Keswick in 1800 they stayed with the Calverts before moving into Greta Hall nearby. William
invited both Coleridge and Wordsworth to join him in his chemistry experimentation.
In 1811 Shelley came to stay, after meeting the Calverts at the Duke of Norfolk’s Greystoke Castle, bringing his 17 year old bride, Harriet. Calvert introduced him to his friend
and neighbour, Robert Southey, whilst he was staying at Greta Bank.
Mary Mitchinson, wife of William Calvert, sister of Ruth, mother of Mary Maude. “I hope some day to show you Mrs Calvert; I shall not forget her, but will preserve her
memory as another flower to compose a garland” Percy Bysse Shelley. 1812.
Raisley Calvert (1773-1795), William’s brother and Wordsworth’s benefactor: his legacy enabled Wordsworth to write poetry.
Mary Calvert (1804-1890) daughter of William. Married Joshua Stanger (1812-1884). Close friend and lifelong correspondent of the Lake Poets (Wordsworths, Southeys,
Coleridges) and their daughters. “The Greta Hall children and the Windybrowites were inseparable”. Extended her father’s library and collections. Lived at Fieldside and
London.
Dr John Mitchinson Calvert, 1802-1842. BA Oxon (1827) MA (1827) BM(1828) DM(1831) FRCP(1832). William’s son, John Sterling’s close friend, to whom there are many
interesting references in Hare’s “Life of Sterling," and in Carlyle’s. (Edward Dowden’s Letters 1882)
Close friend from childhood of the Wordsworths, the Coleridges, and the Southeys. Samuel and Robert Wilberforce.
W E Gladstone “spent the evening with Sterling and his friend Dr Calvert” December 22, 1838.
Calvert met John Stuart Mill in Rome in 1839, and they became close friends. Calvert was a member of many of the learned societies of Europe. He died on January 9 th 1842
at Falmouth. “Poor Calvert's death … is heavy news to me.” Thomas Carlisle, 1842. “I have lost Calvert; the man with whom, of all others, I have been during late years the
most intimate” John Sterling January 1842.

MOORSOM FAMILY – HIGHFIELD, EDGBASTON, KENSINGTON AND FIELDSIDE, CUMBRIA
Admiral Sir Robert Moorsom KCB (1760 – 1835) Commander of The Revenge at the Battle of Trafalgar. Moorsom carried the great banner at Nelson's funeral. Moorsom
was in 1807 made Private Secretary to Lord Mulgrave, First Lord of the Admiralty. In 1809 Moorsom himself became a Lord of the Admiralty, Honorary Colonel of the
Marines, and MP for Queenborough.

Father of:
Constantine Richard Moorsom (1792–1861) Vice-Admiral in the Royal Navy. He commanded HMS Fury in the Bombardment of Algiers, in August, 1816. ‘Moorsom's rule’ is
in use to this day to determine the basis on which the gross tonnage of ships should be calculated. London and North Western Railway Company, Birmingham and
Gloucester Railway, Chester and Holyhead Railway he was particularly concerned with steam navigation: he addressed two papers to the British Association and was
appointed chairman of the steamship performance committee. He published The Principles of Naval Tactics privately in 1846. Married Mary Maude, Mary Calvert’s cousin,
of whom Southey was fond.
Father of:
James Marshall Moorsom (1837-1916) Barrister & Liberal MP. Married Emma Catherine Browne of Tallantire Hall. Inherited Fieldside and its library (home of Mary
Calvert/Stanger).
Father of:
Kenneth James Calvert Moorsom (1878-1907) Eton Exhibitioner. One of Forster’s set at Kings. One of the bright minds of his generation, he was found dead on the railway
tracks at Seaford, Newhaven, on 5 th January 1907, aged 29.
Jermyn Moorsom (1881-1951) Haileybury, Eton. One of Darling’s Kingsmen at Cambridge, one of Josie Low’s “Quartet”, friend of EM Forster etc. m. Pamela Milbourne-
Swinnerton-Pilkington (1926). Became a sheep farmer at Hyndlee, Hawick, and later moved to Durrus, near Cork. Died March 1951, Durrus Court, Bantry, having changed
his surname to ‘Moorson’.
Raisley Stewart Moorsom (1892-1981). “Dilettante”. Bedales School, King's in 1911. Married Ann Thomson, a South African, in 1923. During the war went to live with
Elliott Felkin in New York.
“Too much love, truth and beauty” … The background to ‘A Passage to India’, ‘Maurice’, ‘Love in a Mist’…
The Moorsoms: Jermyn, Kenneth and Raisley, Sir Malcolm Lyall Darling, Jessica (Josie) Low, Ernest Leisler Merz, Arthur Frederick Cole, Robin Quirk, Sir Charles Bruce Lockyer
Tennyson, Arthur Gillett, Goldsworthy Lowes-Dickinson, John Tresider Sheppard, J M Keynes, EM Forster, Edward Hilton Young, Geoffrey Winthrop Young, Nicholas Bagenal,
Catherine Marshall (the suffragette) and Hal, her brother, etc. etc.
Jermyn Moorsom, Malcolm Darling, Ernest Merz (“The Platonist”), and Josie Low [Jessica Darling] were known as “The Quartet”. “Josie was in love with Jermyn”, but decided
there were “serious insurmountable reasons” that Jermyn “ought never to marry”. Jermyn’s parents disapproved of Josie. She accepted Malcolm Darling’s proposal of
marriage. Jessica Darling wrote a novel: Love in a Mist, published in 1921 (the copy from Jermyn Moorsom’s library bears the signature ‘Bagenal’). The Quartet’s ‘Manhunt’
became a Cambridge Kingsmen tradition, and a version of it continues to this day at Seatoller, in the Lake District.
Moorsom’s set at King’s were “High spirited and high minded, vivacious and serious, in love with life and ideas.” ‘[Jermyn] Moorsom's arrival at a luncheon party turned a
marvellous occasion into a success fou’: “He was on splendid form, and the young men exactly fired to appreciate him. One got that tingly soaring feeling which the best of
anything, painters, music, conversation, gives” [Jessica Low] ... King’s was so absolutely perfect … The ‘tingly soaring feeling’ was addictive; once a man had tasted it, he could
hardly bear to live without it.’ Clive Dewey.
On the evening of 8th July 1909, shortly before his wedding to Jessica Low, Malcolm Darling, with his two groomsmen Ernest Merz and Jermyn Moorsom had dinner with E.
M. Forster. Forster apparently accompanied Ernest Merz [“The Platonist”] back to his room. Arthur Cole and Merz then both lived at 62 Chester Terrace. Ernest Merz was
discovered dead the following morning. “He was seen midday on Thursday the 8th by Edwin Waterhouse and dined in the evening with his friends 'Darling' and Moorsom”,

(Alice Mary Merz does not mention Forster in her diary). Despite Nicola Beauman’s assertion that Merz was, 'we can be almost sure, miserably homosexual', letters and
diaries point to the contrary: he “lived in a continual bubble of suppressed laughter”. The consequence of that evening, still shrouded in mystery, continued to haunt E M
Forster throughout his life. Apart from Jermyn’s letter to Catherine Marshall of 11 July, it seems Forster’s is the only other (and unsatisfactory) first-hand account of the
circumstances of the evening. Four days after Ernest’s death he wrote, “Where the dead have gone, we cannot expect to know, but the fact of their departure might strike us
more. It is only when they have thrilled our blood that the sense of loss is sharpened”. 13 July 1909. Forster made a brief and last entry in his diary on the 13th. Following
this he used a “Locked Diary” for his innermost thoughts for the rest of his life. A few months later he wrote, “The crime of suicide lies rather in its disregard for the feelings
of those whom we leave behind.” Here are the roots of his novel ‘Maurice’. Jermyn then abandoned the legal profession and bought a sheep farm in Hawick.
Malcolm Darling eventually persuaded E M Forster out to India. “A Passage to India” resulted from the visit. The character of Fielding is based on Darling. Forster wrote to
him in 1924, “The ‘King’s’ view over-simplified people: that I think was its defect. We are more complicated, also richer, than it knew, and affection grows more difficult than
it used to be, and also more glorious”. Forster wrote ‘A Passage to India’ on his return to England while staying with Edward Hilton Young, who helped him overcome his
writer’s block.
E. M. Forster to Malcolm Darling, 6 August 1916: 'I saw from the Hospital Lists that an officer from Lovats Scouts was here, and went round at once to get news of Jermyn.’
Malcolm treasured “a mental picture of him [Jermyn] in perfectly fitting breeches, with stock exquisitely tied and pinned, walking at the head of his sheep…and stopping every
now and then to flick one of them under the chin with a silk handkerchief, to improve its deportment”.
Malcolm Darling eventually persuaded E M Forster out to India. “A Passage to India” resulted from the visit. Forster wrote to Malcolm Darling in 1924, “King’s stands for
personal relationships, and these still seem to me the most real things on the surface of the earth, but I have acquired a feeling that people must go away from each other
(spiritually) now and then, and improve themselves if the relationship is to develop or even endure. A Passage to India describes such a going away – preparatory to the next
advance, which I am not capable of describing. It seems to me that individuals progress alternately by loneliness and intimacy, and that legend of the multiplied Krishna (…)
serves as a symbol of a state where the two might be combined. The ‘King’s’ view over-simplified people: that I think was its defect. We are more complicated, also richer,
than it knew, and affection grows more difficult than it used to be, and also more glorious”. Forster wrote ‘A Passage to India’ on his return to England while staying with
Edward Hilton Young, who helped him overcome his writer’s block.
Arthur Frederick Cole 1883-1968 was a barrister, a collector of books; a good friend of Malcolm Darling, Jermyn Moorsom Ernest Merz and E M Forster. “Cole rivalled Keynes
as a book collector. He presented his specialist collections to grateful libraries: a set of texts illustrating the evolution of Greek types went to Yale; his Irish printed books were
added to the Bradshaw Bequest in the University Library; King’s got the most munificent gift of all: his unique collection of printed music” ...

Forster, E. M.
Where Angels Fear To Tread. William Blackwood and Sons. Edinburgh and London. 1905.
First edition. Octavo. 319pp + ads. Original blue cloth, faded.
£TBA
E. M. Forster’s first novel. From Jermyn Moorsom’s library. Currently under research. Further details and the provenance of this particular copy will be
added here when fully researched and catalogued.
The title was taken from Pope’s Essay on Criticism: ‘Fools rush in where Angels fear to tread’. Previous members of the Apostles (the Conversazione Society)
at Kings, Cambridge, are named “Angels”.
Examine more closely Forster’s delightful fictional entry for Baedeker’s Central Italy: “Monteriano (pop. 4800). Hotels: Stella d'Italia, moderate only; Globo,
dirty. *Caffè Garibaldi. Post and Telegraph office in Corso Vittorio Emmanuele, next to theatre. Photographs at Seghena's (cheaper in Florence). Diligence (1
lira) meets principal trains. Chief attractions (2–3 hours): Santa Deodata, Palazzo Pubblico, Sant' Agostino, Santa Caterina, Sant' Ambrogio, Palazzo
Capocchi. Guide (2 lire) unnecessary. A walk round the Walls should on no account be omitted. The view from the Rocca (small gratuity) is finest at sunset.
History: Monteriano, the Mons Rianus of Antiquity, whose Ghibelline tendencies are noted by Dante (Purg. xx.), definitely emancipated itself from Poggibonsi
in 1261. Hence the distich, "Poggibonizzi, fatti in là, che Monteriano si fa città!" till recently inscribed over the Siena gate. It remained independent till 1530,
when it was sacked by the Papal troops and became part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. It is now of small importance, and seat of the district prison. The
inhabitants are still noted for their agreeable manners.”
Malcolm Darling’s Italian travel diaries “out Baedekered Baedeker”
Forster chose “Mons Rianus” and Dante Purg. XX deliberately. He tantalisingly leaves us clues, scattered through his writings… his “secrets from the reader”.
