Sir Richard F. Burton on the Web: Message Board Return to Topics Post a reply/new message Return to Web Page Post a reply/new message Topic: The de-romanticizing of Burton Started by Richard Leveson on 11/18/02, 4:35 PM Subject The de-romanticizing of Burton Name Richard Leveson ( richard@richardleveson.com Writen 11/18/02, 4:35 PM
Although he seemed to embrace something of the philosophy of spiritualism, I cannot sense that Burton was a man of the spirit. On the contrary, I find him to be practical, down-to-earth and keenly analytical - far more of a scientific than an artistic turn of mind. He was also very much of a sportsman in any game of physical combat: boxing, wrestling, the single-stick and of course fencing. Isabel did distort our view Burton by over-romanticizing him (surely we can forgive her this), she minimized the strongly voluptuous side of his character and emphasized his nobility of nature (which in many cases I don't question either). In understanding Burton today, though, larger than life as he certainly was, it's important not to fall prey to this romanticized picture.
Burton knew how to live well and spent money as fast as he earned it. As a result the couple spent most of their life together under difficult financial circumstances. They were forced to reckon with the realities of making a living with little to offer (I have mentioned elsewhere that Burton was far from ideal as a diplomat), and to come close to begging for financial aid (I am sure Isabel did most of this, but Richard was also the beneficiary and therefore, de facto, a supplicant). Burton's postings to romantic-sounding places were in reality accepted of necessity, and doubtless with reluctance, except in the case of the Damascus Consulate.

Catalog: Book Manufacturer: DaCapo Press Authors: Edward Rice Release Date: 05 June, 2001 Availability: Usually ships within 24 hours List Price: Our Price: Used Price: ThirdPartyNewPrice Price: More Details from Amazon.com Amazon international Product Reviews: The Definitive Biography... This is by far one of the best biographies I've read in recent times. Not only is the subject matter astonishing, capturing the life of one of the most exciting figures of the 19th century, the author focuses on the man's profuse writings, thankfully leaving out the once fashionable psychoanalytic approach of interpretation when writing biography. This is the third life history I've read on Richard Burton, and it's certainly the finest written and the most thorough. Those of you, who are not familiar with R.F. Burton, are in for a thrilling reading experience. This man, probably more so than Byron himself, is the archetypal Byronic figure of the age: a linguist, (29 languages and numerous dialects), scholar of eastern literature and religion, particularly the mystical arm of Islam, Sufi; a practicing mystic; explorer of Africa (co-discoverer of the source of the Nile); a secret agent working for her majesty during England's acquisition of India's wealth, known to historians as 'The Great Game'. He was also one of the first white men, who made the Pilgrimage to Mecca, and as Rice argues, Burton was and continued to be a practicing Muslim, therefore his pilgrimage was deeply religious as well as a journey of danger and adventure. Burton was dashing, an expert swordsman and horseman, and a prolific writer, poet and translator who rank as one of the best of his time.

next Insatiable Curiosity About Mormons Lured Explorer To Salt Lake
Harold Schindler
Published: 11/20/1994  Category: Features Page: K1 British adventurer Captain Richard F. Burton visited Great Salt Lake City in 1860. No one like him—before or since—has penetrated what he called the last of the "Holy Cities." He died in 1890 as Sir Richard Francis Burton, soldier, explorer, author, linguist, discoverer of Lake Tanganyika and Knight Commander of St. Michael and St. George. He also was an ethnologist, archaeologist, poet, translator, amateur physician, botanist, zoologist, geologist and a superb swordsman. Driven by a seemingly insatiable curiosity for the exotic, erotic and demonic; Burton was a restless, inveterate traveler as well as a prolific and controversial writer. Preceded by a formidable reputation as an explorer of immense courage who had disguised himself and infiltrated the sacred cities of Mecca and Medina forbidden to infidels, Burton had written in detail of his experiences. His visit to America, although brief, was to fulfill his desire to see Mormonism at first hand. Before his Western tour ended, he had an audience with Brigham Young and spent an evening over a jug of Valley Tan whiskey, trading anecdotes with the redoubtable Orrin Porter Rockwell, a Mormon rough-and-ready who gave him advice on how to stay alive on the road to California. As was his custom, Burton wrote in depth about his American adventure in The City of the Saints and Across the Rocky Mountains to California, published in 1861. "I had long determined to add the last new name to the list of ‘Holy Cities;' to visit the young rival of Memphis, Benares, Jerusalem, Rome, Mecca…of seeing Utah as it is, not as it is said to be" he explained. Always the professional soldier, Burton confessed that "mingled with the wish of prospecting the City of the Great Salt Lake [from] a spiritual point of view," he also looked forward to "enjoying a little skirmishing with the savages." And because he had heard of the "White Indians," paleface renegades who terrorized travelers and shifted blame to the tribes, Burton set about properly outfitting himself for his foray across the Plains.

The Art of Travel Francis Galton ISBN 159048052X Originally published in 1855, this book was written after Francis Galton returned from a historic journey into the African interior where he suffered much hardship and danger. After his return to England the famed explorer determined to teach travelers and soldiers the art of self-sufficiency in the field. His literary effort, “The Art of Travel,” became an instant classic and was used by a host of now-famous explorers, including Sir Richard Francis Burton of Mecca fame.

WONDERGATES
George Nelson Preston
Dear Africanist Colleagues: I have not gotten sufficiently angry enough to write a letter about this sort of thing since I can remember but the Gatescapades in Africa did just that. But before I go any further, I want to make it clear that in this letter I am not referring to Gates' encyclopedic work for Encarta which I have not seen, nor to his work in literature. My daughter Afua, born in Africa of an Ashanti mother had just called me. "Dad, are you watching this video version of a bad textbook on Africa? Wonders of the African World." On screen: An archeological zone is to be inundated, and the peasants moved to higher ground and electrified homes with running water. Here is Professor Gates scolding the Islamic Nubian peasants for forsaking their glorious archeological past, informing them that the government of Sudan has coerced them into supporting the destruction of their Meroitic traditions. In Gates' mind they really do not want modern plumbing and electric light. That the government of Sudan may not think much of pagan Meroe and Axum is plausible but it is equally plausible that present day Islamic people inhabiting the sight do not feel culturally related to the people who built them. Gates is so besotted with himself that he thinks whatever he does is interesting and apparently worthy of documentation, including gaffs. Details of his personal idiosyncrasies which tactfully should have been edited are filmed: glib remarks in inappropriate contexts (He points to the mummy of a sanctified Ethiopian king and asks, "who's this brother?), taking a sand bath, pulling his shirt over his head as a passing truck makes a miniature dust storm. How about pulling out a clothesline and flossing your - - - in public? You need to be Brad Pitt in front of a groupie audience to make something like that work and Gates is neither a man of charm nor presence. Thus the forcefulness and truthfulness of his ideas is critical.

Time and technology have shrunk the number of acceptable outlets for the daring, aggressive nature that swung the sword and mapped the unknown, until it has come to be associated primarily with criminals.
