Download or read book The Victorians and the Eighteenth Century written by Francis O'Gorman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disrupting the common assumption that the Victorians regarded their eighteenth-century predecessors with little interest or with disdain, this volume re-examines these relationships, exposing some of the significant and complex ways in which key aspects and texts of the eighteenth century were situated, read, and transacted with during the post-Romantic nineteenth century. The contributors challenge long-held assumptions about Victorian uses of the past, and offer new insights into how the literature and culture of the eighteenth century helped shape the culture and identity of the nineteenth. This collection of essays by an impressive array of scholars, with a Preface by David Fairer, offers a sharply new assessment of the energizing place of eighteenth-century literature and culture in the nineteenth century. While obviously of great interest to students of eighteenth-century and Victorian literature, the collection will also appeal to readers broadly concerned questions of literary influence, periodization, and historiography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A lively survey…her research and insights make us conscious of how we, today, use books.”—John Sutherland, The New York Times Book Review Two centuries before the advent of radio, television, and motion pictures, books were a cherished form of popular entertainment and an integral component of domestic social life. In this fascinating and vivid history, Abigail Williams explores the ways in which shared reading shaped the lives and literary culture of the eighteenth century, offering new perspectives on how books have been used by their readers, and the part they have played in middle-class homes and families. Drawing on marginalia, letters and diaries, library catalogues, elocution manuals, subscription lists, and more, Williams offers fresh and fascinating insights into reading, performance, and the history of middle-class home life. “Williams’s charming pageant of anecdotes…conjures a world strikingly different from our own but surprisingly similar in many ways, a time when reading was on the rise and whole worlds sprang up around it.”—TheWashington Post

Download or read book Hogarth written by C. Lewis Hind and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hogarth" by C. Lewis Hind is a biography. Hogarth was an English painter, printmaker, pictorial satirist, social critic, and editorial cartoonist. His work ranges from realistic portraiture to comic strip-like series of pictures called "modern moral subjects", and he is perhaps best known for his series A Harlot's Progress, A Rake's Progress, and Marriage A-la-Mode. Knowledge of his work is so pervasive that satirical political illustrations in this style are often referred to as "Hogarthian".
