Edward Carpenter(29 August 1844 – 28 June 1929) was an Englishutopian socialist,poet,philosopher,anthologist,an early activist forgay rights[1]and prison reform whilst advocatingvegetarianismand taking a stanceagainst vivisection.[2][3]As aphilosopher,he was particularly known for his publication ofCivilisation: Its Cause and Cure.Here, he describedcivilisationas a form of disease through which human societies pass.[4]

An early advocate of sexual liberation, he had an influence on bothD. H. Lawrence[5]andSri Aurobindo,and inspiredE. M. Forster's novelMaurice.[6][7]

Early life

[edit]

Born at 45 Brunswick Square,HoveinSussex,Carpenter was educated at nearbyBrighton College,where his father Charles Carpenter[8]was a governor. His brothers Charles, George and Alfred also went to school there. Edward's grandfather was Vice-Admiral James Carpenter (d 1845). When he was ten, Carpenter displayed a flair for the piano.[9]

His academic ability became evident relatively late in his youth, but was sufficient to earn him a place atTrinity Hall, Cambridge.[10]At Trinity Hall, Carpenter came under the influence ofChristian SocialisttheologianF. D. Maurice.[11]Whilst there he also began to explore his feelings for men. One of the most notable examples of this is his close friendship withEdward Anthony Beck(later Master of Trinity Hall), which, according to Carpenter, had "a touch of romance".[9]Beck eventually ended their friendship, causing Carpenter great emotional heartache. Carpenter graduated as 10thWranglerin 1868.[12]After university, he was ordained ascurateof theChurch of England,"as a convention rather than out of deep Conviction",[13]and served as curate to Maurice at the parish ofSt Edward's, Cambridge.

In 1871 Carpenter was invited to become tutor to the royal princesGeorge Frederick(later King George V) and his elder brother,Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence,but declined the position. His lifelong friend and fellow Cambridge studentJohn Neale Daltontook the position.[14]Carpenter continued to visit Dalton while he was tutor. They were given photographs of the pair, taken by the princes.[15]

In the following years he experienced an increasing sense of dissatisfaction with his life in the church and university, and became weary of what he saw as the hypocrisy of Victorian society.[9]He found great solace in reading poetry, later remarking that his discovery of the work ofWalt Whitmancaused "a profound change" in him.[16]Five or six years later he visited Whitman inCamden, New Jersey,in 1877.

Move to the North of England

[edit]
Edward Carpenter in 1875

Carpenter was voluntarily released from the Anglican ministry and left the church in 1874 and moved toLeeds,becoming alectureras part of University Extension Movement, which was formed by academics who wished to widen access to education in deprived communities. He lectured inastronomy,the lives of ancient Greek women andmusicand had hoped to lecture to theworking classes,but found his lectures were mostly attended bymiddle classpeople, many of whom showed little active interest in the subjects he taught. Disillusioned,[9]he moved toChesterfield,but finding that town dull, moved to nearbySheffielda year later.[10]Here he came into contact with manual workers, and he began to write poetry. His sexual preferences were for working men: "the grimy and oil-besmeared figure of a stoker" or "the thick-thighed hot coarse-fleshed young bricklayer with a strap around his waist".[17]

When his father Charles Carpenter died in 1882, Edward inherited the sum of £6,000 (equivalent to £760,000 in 2023[18]).[19]This enabled Carpenter to quit his lectureship to seek the simpler life, first on asmall holdingat Totley near Sheffield with Albert Ferneyhough, a scythe-maker, and his family in 1880; Albert and Edward became lovers and in 1883 moved toMillthorpe, Derbyshiretogether with Albert's family, where Carpenter built a large new house with outbuildings in 1883 constructed of local gritstone with a slate roof, in the style of the seventeenth century.[20]There they had a small market garden and made and sold leather sandals,[21]based on the design of sandals sent to him from India byHarold Coxon Carpenter's request.[21]

Carpenter popularised the phrase the "Simple Life" in his essaySimplification of Lifein hisEngland's Ideal(1887).[22]Sheffield architectRaymond Unwinwas a frequent visitor to Millthorpe and the simple revival of vernacular English architecture at Millthorpe and Carpenter's 'simple life' there were powerful influences on Unwin's laterGarden Cityarchitecture and ideals, suggesting as they did a coherent but radical new lifestyle.[21]

In Sheffield, Carpenter became increasingly radical.[21]Influenced by a disciple ofEngels,Henry Hyndman,he joined theSocial Democratic Federation(SDF) in 1883 and attempted to form a branch in the city. The group instead chose to remain independent, and became theSheffield Socialist Society.[23]While in the city he worked on a number of projects including highlighting the poor living conditions of industrial workers. In 1884, he left the SDF withWilliam Morristo join theSocialist League.From there he stayed withWilliam Harrison Rileywhile he was visitingWalt Whitman.[24]

In 1883, Carpenter published the first part ofTowards Democracy,a long poem expressing Carpenter's ideas about "spiritual democracy" and how Carpenter believed humanity could move towards a freer and more just society.Towards Democracywas heavily influenced by Whitman's poetry, as well as theHinduscripture, theBhagavad Gita.[11][25]Expanded editions ofTowards Democracyappeared in 1885, 1892, and 1902; the complete edition ofTowards Democracywas published in 1905.[25]

In 1886–87 Carpenter was in a relationship with George Hukin, a razor grinder.[20]Carpenter lived withCecil Reddiefrom 1888 to 1889 and in 1889 helped Reddie foundAbbotsholme SchoolinDerbyshireas a notably progressive alternative to the traditional public school, with the financial support of Robert Muirhead andWilliam Cassels.[26]

In May 1889, Carpenter wrote a piece in theSheffield Independentcalling Sheffield the laughing-stock of the civilized world and said that the giant thick cloud of smog rising out of Sheffield was like the smoke arising fromJudgment Day,and that it was the altar on which the lives of many thousands would be sacrificed. He said that 100,000 adults and children were struggling to find sunlight and air, enduring miserable lives, unable to breathe and dying of related illnesses.[27]

Travel in India

[edit]

Drawn increasingly toHindu philosophy,he travelled toIndiaandCeylonin 1890. Following conversations with the guru Ramaswamy (known as the Gnani) there, he developed the conviction that socialism would bring about a revolution in human consciousness as well as of economic conditions. His account of the travel was published in 1892 asFrom Adam's Peak to Elephanta: Sketches in Ceylon and India.The book's spiritual explorations would subsequently influence the Russian authorPeter Ouspensky,who discusses it extensively in his own book,Tertium Organum(1912).

Life with George Merrill

[edit]
Carpenter and Merrillc. 1900

On his return from India in 1891, he metGeorge Merrill,a working-class man also from Sheffield, 22 years his junior, and after the Ferneyhoughs left Millthorpe in 1893 Merrill became Carpenter's companion. The two remained partners for the rest of their lives,[20]cohabiting from 1898.[10]Merrill, the son of an engine driver, had been raised in the slums of Sheffield and had little formal education.

Carpenter remarked in his workThe Intermediate Sex:

Eros is a great leveller. Perhaps the true Democracy rests, more firmly than anywhere else, on a sentiment which easily passes the bounds of class and caste, and unites in the closest affection the most estranged ranks of society. It is noticeable how oftenUraniansof good position and breeding are drawn to rougher types, as of manual workers, and frequently very permanent alliances grow up in this way, which although not publicly acknowledged have a decided influence on social institutions, customs and political tendencies.[28]

Carpenter included among his friends the scholar, author, naturalist, and founder of theHumanitarian League,Henry S. Salt,and his wife, Catherine;[29]the critic, essayist and sexologist,Havelock Ellis,and his wife, Edith; actor and producerBen Iden Payne;Labour activistsBruceandKatharine Glasier;writer and scholar,John Addington Symonds;and the feminist writer,Olive Schreiner.[30]

E. M. Forsterwas a close friend and visited the couple regularly. He later recounted that it was a visit to Millthorpe in 1913 that inspired him to write his gay-themed novel,Maurice.[7][31]Forster wrote in his terminal note to the aforementioned novel that Merrill "touched my backside – gently and just above the buttocks. I believe he touched most people's. The sensation was unusual and I still remember it, as I remember the position of a long vanished tooth. He made a profound impression on me and touched a creative spring."[32][7]

The relationship between Carpenter and Merrill was an inspiration for the relationship between Maurice Hall and Alec Scudder, the gamekeeper inMaurice.[32][31]The authorD. H. Lawrenceread the manuscript ofMaurice,which was published posthumously in 1971. Carpenter's rural lifestyle and the manuscript influenced Lawrence's 1928 novelLady Chatterley's Loverwhich, though built around a central relationship between a man and a woman, involves a gamekeeper and a member of theupper-class.[33][34]

Later life

[edit]
Edward Carpenter in 1905

In 1902 Carpenter'santhologyof verse and prose,Ioläus:An Anthology of Friendship,was published.[35][36][37]The book was published again in 1906 byWilliam Swan Sonnenschein.[38]

In 1915, he publishedThe Healing of Nations and the Hidden Sources of Their Strife,where he argued that the source of war and discontent in western society was class-monopoly and social inequality.

Carpenter became an advocate of theChrist myth theory.[39]His bookPagan and Christian Creedswas published byHarcourt, Brace and Howein 1921.[40]

The death of George Hukin in 1917 at the age of 56 seems to have broken Carpenter's attachment to the North of England. In 1922 he and Merrill moved toGuildford,Surrey[41]and the two lived at 23 Mountside Rd.[42]On Carpenter's 80th birthday he was presented an album signed by every member of the thenLabourGovernment, headed byRamsay MacDonald,Prime Minister, who Carpenter had known since his teenage years.[43]

In January 1928, Merrill died suddenly, having become dependent on alcohol since moving to Surrey.[10]His death devastated Carpenter; he sold their joint home and moved in with his carer Ted Inigan.[42]In May 1928, Carpenter suffered a paralyticstroke.He lived another 13 months before he died on 28 June 1929, aged 84.[10]He was interred in the same grave as Merrill at theMount Cemeteryin Guildford under a lengthy invocation written by Carpenter.[21]

His obituary inThe Timeswas headed "Edward Carpenter, Author and Poet",[44]though the text did also refer to his political campaigns.

Influence

[edit]

Carpenter corresponded with many leading figures in political and cultural circles, among themAnnie Besant,Isadora Duncan,Havelock Ellis,Roger Fry,Mahatma Gandhi,Keir Hardie,Jack London,George Merrill,E. D. Morel,William Morris,Edward R. Pease,John Ruskin,andOlive Schreiner.[45]

Carpenter was a friend ofRabindranath Tagore,and ofWalt Whitman.[46]Aldous Huxleyrecommended Carpenter's pamphletCivilization: Its Cause and Curein his bookScience, Liberty and Peace.[47]Modernist art criticHerbert Readcredited Carpenter's pamphletNon-Governmental Societywith converting him toanarchism.[48]

Leslie Paulwas influenced by Carpenter's work; in turn he passed on Carpenter's ideas to the scouting group he founded,The Woodcraft Folk.[49]Algernon Blackwoodwas another devotee of Carpenter's work; Blackwood corresponded with Carpenter and included a quotation fromCivilization: Its Cause and Curein his 1911 novelThe Centaur.[50]

Fenner Brockway,in a 1929 obituary of Carpenter, acknowledged him as an influence on Brockway and his associates when young. Brockway described Carpenter as "the greatest spiritual inspiration of our lives.Towards Democracywas our Bible. "[51]Ansel Adamswas an admirer of Carpenter's writings, especiallyTowards Democracy.[52]Emma Goldmancited Carpenter's books as an influence on her thought, and stated that Carpenter possessed "the wisdom of the sage."[53]Countee Cullensaid that reading Carpenter's bookIolaus"opened up for me soul windows which had been closed".[54]

Carpenter was sometimes called "the EnglishTolstoy"and Tolstoy himself considered him" a worthy heir ofCarlyleandRuskin".[20]

Revival of reputation

[edit]

Following his death, Carpenter's written works fell out of print and were largely forgotten except among devotees of British labour movement history. However, in the 1970s and 1980s, interest in his work was revived by historians such asJeffrey WeeksandSheila Rowbotham,and some of Carpenter's works were reprinted by theGay Men's Press.[55]Carpenter's opposition topollutionand cruelty to animals have resulted in some historians arguing Carpenter's ideas anticipated the modernGreenandanimal rightsmovements.[56][57]Carpenter was described byFiona MacCarthyas the "Saint in Sandals", the "Noble Savage" and, more recently, the "gay godfather of the British left".[58]
