Download or read book Modern Antiques written by Barrett Kalter and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-21 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recovery and reinvention of the past were fundamental to the conception of the modern in England during the long eighteenth century. Scholars then forged connections between linear time and empirical evidence that transformed historical consciousness. Chronologers, textual critics, and antiquaries constructed the notion of a material past, which spread through the cultures of print and consumption to a broader public, offering powerful—and for that reason, contested—ways of perceiving temporality and change, the historicity of objects, and the relation between fact and imagination. But even as these innovative ideas won acceptance, they also generated rival forms of historical meaning. The regular progression of chronological time accentuated the deviance of anachronism and ephemerality, while the opposition of unique artifacts to ubiquitous commodities exoticized things that straddled this divide. Inspired by the authentic products as well as the anomalous by-products of contemporary scholarship, writers, craftsmen, and shoppers appropriated the past to create nostalgic and ironic alternatives to their own moment. Barrett Kalter explores the history of these “modern antiques,” including Dryden’s translation of Virgil, modernizations of The Canterbury Tales, Gray’s Gothic wallpaper, and Walpole’s Strawberry Hill. Though grounded in the ancient and medieval eras, these works uncannily addressed the controversies about monarchy, nationhood, commerce, and specialized knowledge that defined the present for the English eighteenth century. Bringing together literary criticism, historiography, material culture studies, and book history, Kalter argues that the proliferation of modern antiques in the period reveals modernity’s paradoxical emergence out of encounters with the past.

Book excerpt: The Byzantine Empire is a time and place of enlightenment and diversity, but also zealous piety. Young Adila hungers for this wealth of culture, but as a girl, she’s barred from partaking in the richness of society. Her abusive father’s solution is to force her to be his longed-for son, Adilsen. He moves their family from Finland to an abbey village in Russia. Outwardly, Adilsen goes along with her father’s disguise. It allows her to enter the all-male religious order, where she discovers her love of music, knowledge and God. But Adila lives with the constant threat of her secret being exposed. Adila flourishes in the choir, and the Bishop of Constantinople selects her to travel to the capitol. But he doesn’t choose her for her singing The Bishop wants Adilsen as a pawn in his treasonous scheme, entangling her in political corruption at the highest levels of the empire. At the Byzantine monastery in Constantinople, Adilsen must deceive everyone to conceal her true gender. But then she falls in love with Majidi, a visiting dignitary from the far south of the realm. When she shocks the Bishop with a dramatic miscarriage, he banishes her to Majidi’s harem in Trebizond. Enslaved in the citadel, she must now fight the harem hierarchy to escape rape, abuse and death. As a boy, Adila’s resourcefulness and strength were lauded, but as a concubine, she is a dangerous threat to tradition. SIRENS’ SONG is an epic historical fiction adventure of Adila growing into a forceful, intelligent, independent woman in a time when these qualities in a female could get her killed. Through music, spirituality and the challenges of loving a man of a different race and religion, Adila learns from those on the fringes of society how to battle through layers of convention, and claim power in her femininity.
Download or read book Sleep and the Novel written by Michael Greaney and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-04 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sleep and the Novel is a study of representations of the sleeping body in fiction from 1800 to the present day which traces the ways in which novelists have engaged with this universal, indispensable -- but seemingly nondescript -- region of human experience. Covering the narrativization of sleep in Austen, the politicization of sleep in Dickens, the queering of sleep in Goncharov, the aestheticization of sleep in Proust, and the medicalization of sleep in contemporary fiction, it examines the ways in which novelists envision the figure of the sleeper, the meanings they discover in human sleep, and the values they attach to it. It argues that literary fiction harbours, on its margins, a “sleeping partner”, one that we can nickname the Schlafroman or “sleep-novel”, whose quiet absorption in the wordlessness and passivity of human slumber subtly complicates the imperatives of self-awareness and purposive action that traditionally govern the novel.

Download or read book The Prose Literature of the Gaelic Revival 1881 1921 written by Philip O'Leary and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 1994-04-15 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gaelic Revival has long fascinated scholars of political history, nationalism, literature, and theater history, yet studies of the period have neglected a significant dimension of Ireland's evolution into nationhood: the cultural crusades mounted by those who believed in the centrality of the Irish language to the emergent Irish state. This book attempts to remedy that deficiency and to present the lively debates within the language movement in their full complexity, citing documents such as editorials, columns, speeches, letters, and literary works that were influential at the time but all too often were published only in Irish or were difficult to access. Cautiously employing the terms "nativist" and "progressive" for the turnings inward and toward the European continent manifested in different authors, this study examines the strengths and weaknesses of contrasting positions on the major issues confronting the language movement. Moving from the early collecting or retelling of folklore through the search for heroes in early Irish history to the reworking of ancient Irish literary materials by retelling it in modern vernacular Irish, O'Leary addresses the many debates and questions concerning Irish writing of the period. His study is a model for inquiries into the kind of linguistic-literary movement that arises during intense nationalism.
