Skipsey, Joseph (1832-1903), ‘The Pitman Poet,’ of North Shields, mineworker of Percy Main Colliery. ~ He was born in Percy Main, Northumberland – the eighth child of Cuthbert and Isabella Skipsey. His father was killed by a special constable’s bullet while defending a pitman during an acrimonious strike the same year. This event left the family destitute, and at seven years old Joseph was sent to the colliery as a trapper boy. ~ Skipsey learnt how to read and tackle basic arithmetical questions during Sundays and holidays, mostly in his mother’s garret, and he taught himself how to write by candlelight with his finger in the dust or a piece of chalk on a trap-door linked to the ventilation of the mine, replicating the print on discarded playbills. During his youth, he earnestly endeavoured to learn the Bible ‘by heart’, and studied the works of major poets such as Shakespeare, Milton, and Burns, as well as reading Greek drama in translation, Goethe’s Faust, and Heine’s poetry. ~ Skipsey spent several years striving to find a route out of the mines. He experienced periods of employment on the expanding railway network in London – where he met his future wife Sara Ann Hendley; they married on December 12th 1868 – Scotland, and Sunderland’s Pembroke Pit, and finally to Northumberland’s Choppington Colliery.~ Skipsey printed a volume of lyrics in 1858, eith a dedicated to his feriend William reay (qv), which although no longer known to be extant, caught the attention of various prominent individuals in the North of England to such an extent a second edition was called for and prioduced in 1859. Indeed, James Clephan (qv), the editor of the Gateshead Observer found Skipsey the position of sub-store keeper at the Hawks, Crawshaw and Co. Iron Works in Gateshead, where he remained until 1863. His son William had been killed in an accident on a railway line in 1861. Robert Spence Watson commended him to be sub-librarian to the Literary and Philosophical Society in Newcastle, but this was not an altogether satisfactory stint due to the lower comparative salary and Skipsey’s insatiable appetite for reading. As Spence Watson writes, Skipsey ‘would become absorbed in some passage of a well-know author, and he would scarcely recognise the eager and impatient member who wished for his services forthwith’. Thus, Skipsey relocated to pits at Newsham, Cowpen, Ashington, and ultimately Backworth Colliery – throughout this time he managed to balance hewing coal with writing poetry, before finally leaving mining for good in 1882. ~ In 1883, it appears that Skipsey may have delivered a lecture on‘The Poet as Seer and Singer’ to the Literary and Philosophical Societ. There were several further books, including Carols from the Coalfields (1886). It is worthwhile noting that, as Maidment (2002) points out, ‘the 1830s and 1840s saw the extension of eighteenth century deferential modes of publication out from the aristocracy into the middle class entrepreneurs of artisan progress. Often this resulted in quite close personal relationships between obscure authors and their famous sponsors’. In Skipsey’s case, he became the obscure author to Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s famous supporter if not quite a sponsor. Rossetti was introduced to Skipsey by Thomas Dixon (1831-80), the Sunderland cork-cutter to whom Ruskin wrote the letters published as Time and Tide by Weare and Tyne (1867), an important working-class figure in his own right who represented Ruskin’s ideal of a cultured working man. The artist expressed considerable enthusiasm for Skipsey as a man, meeting him in London, and finding him to be ‘a stalwart son of toil, and every inch a gentlemen’. Rossetti’s enthusiasm was not restricted to admiration of his person and upon reading his A Book of Miscellaneous Lyrics (1878) remarked that Skipsey ‘recited some beautiful things of his own with a special freshness to which one is quite unaccustomed’. Rossetti (1878) deemed the poem ‘Get Up’ as ‘equal to anything in the language for direct and quiet pathetic force’. Like much of his work the poem arises from direct observation of the miner’s everyday life: ‘“Get up!” the caller calls, “Get up!” / And in the dead of night, / To win the bairns their bite and sup, / I rise a weary wight. / My flannel dudden donn’d, thrice o’er / My birds are kiss’d, and then / I with a whistle shut the door / I may not ope again.’ ~ With regard to other opinions of Skipsey’s poetry, Oscar Wilde in the Pall Mall Gazette (Feb 1, 1887) highlighted ‘an intellectual as well as metrical affinity with Blake’ adding that he ‘possesses something of Blake’s marvellous power of making simple things seem strange to us, and strange things seem simple’. Wilde also stressed that Skipsey ‘never makes his form formal by over-polishing’ and concluded that he ‘can find music for every mood, whether he is dealing with the real experiences of the pitman, or with the imaginative experiences of the poet’. Many decades later, Basil Bunting (1976, 13, cited Bigliazzi 2006, 65) lays more stress on the ‘faults of technique, of vocabulary, and of syntax… added to the difficulty of reading a dialect written in the spelling of the capital’, but nevertheless also affirms that the poetry sometimes has the ‘power to please and move’ to the extent Rossetti describes. ~ Skipsey was conferred with a civil list pension in 1880 in recognition of his literary output, which also included putting together popular editions of Shelley, Blake, Coleridge, Poe, and Burns for Walter Scott’s Canterbury Poets series. Many members of the literary establishment, such as Tennyson and Bram Stoker, lobbied to have Skipsey appointed as curator of the Shakespeare Birthplace Museum in Stratford. However, the fraudulent relics he was duty-bound to present became in his own words ‘a stench in his nostrils’. He and his wife left the position after two years in 1891 and returned to the north-east. (This episode formed the basis for Henry James’s short story ‘The Birthplace’) ~ Skipsey died at Gateshead on 3 September 1903, and was buried in the cemetery there. ~ Pub: Lyrics (first edn.

He also demonstrated a talent for verse and contributed to several periodicals. These gifts and attainments brought him to the notice of the Marquis of Hastings who found him an appointment as a supervisor of excise which lasted for 17 years. However, he lost his job as a result of his radicalism and thereafter eked out a precarious living as a schoolmaster and by making machinery and architectural drawings. For a time he lived in Loughborough where he was the Chartist leader Skevington’s chief assistant. He then moved to Leicester, where he became a supporter of Thomas Cooper. One poem of his was published in the local Chartist press. Ref: Newitt, 46-51. [C] [—Ned Newitt]
