Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading the Eighteenth-Century Novel is a lively exploration of the evolution of the English novel from 1688-1815. A range of major works and authors are discussed along with important developments in the genre, and the impact of novels on society at the time. The text begins with a discussion of the “rise of the novel” in the long eighteenth century and various theories about the economic, social, and ideological changes that caused it. Subsequent chapters examine ten particular novels, from Oroonoko and Moll Flanders to Tom Jones and Emma, using each one to introduce and discuss different rhetorical theories of narrative. The way in which books developed and changed during this period, breaking new ground, and influencing later developments is also discussed, along with key themes such as the representation of gender, class, and nationality. The final chapter explores how this literary form became a force for social and ideological change by the end of the period. Written by a highly experienced scholar of English literature, this engaging textbook guides readers through the intricacies of a transformational period for the novel.

Download or read book The History of the Devil Ancient Modern written by Daniel DeFoe and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of the Devil is a classic historical and religious book universally considered one of Daniel Defoe’s greatest works of non-fiction. The book was first published in 1726 and made an immediate impact on English literature, society and the ecclesiastical community in the early 18th century and continues to enrich humanity as a faithful source of historical and biblical truth and wisdom. The History of the Devil cleverly unfolds the actions, devices, and evil nature of Satan and his host of devils against God and mankind throughout the history of the world. Defoe divides the book into two parts: Ancient, or the time from before the creation of the universe to the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ; and Modern, or from the time of Christ and establishment of the Christian Church to the present day. His style is one that uniquely blends serious biblical principles and history with lighter satirical narrative, especially when dealing with mankind’s many false presuppositions about the Devil, and clearly delineates when each, or both, is applicable to the subject of discussion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both the frame and substance of writing today owes much to the advancements that occurred in England between the Restoration and Romantic periods. The development of the novel set off the formation of new sorts and went with an ascent in education all through the nation. This volume looks at the English essayists who helped shape the social, political, and religious atmosphere of the age, and drenches understudies in the historical backdrop of accounts that keep on enchanting groups of onlookers today. This is a noteworthy and clear review of eighteenth-century scholarly life, giving a genuine feeling of the many-sided quality of the age and of the social and scholarly atmosphere in which innovative writing thrived. It thinks about a portion of the overwhelming topics of the period, contending against such marks as 'Augustan Age', 'Time of Enlightenment' and 'Time of Reason', which have been joined to the eighteenth-century by commentators and students of history. This book is a piece of the Tredition Classics arrangement.

Download or read book The Duel in European History written by Victor Kiernan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries, duelling played an integral role in the preservation of the aristocratic order in Europe, defying attempts by both church and state to ban the practice. Moreover, the romance and drama of the duel has made it an enduring fixture in films, literature, and the theatre. In The Duel in European History, renowned historian Victor Kiernan writes with his characteristic wit and insight of duelling's evolution from its medieval origins – when it was regarded as a badge of rank - to the early twentieth century, by which time it was seen as an irrational anachronism. In doing so, he shows how the duelling tradition was something unique to Europe and its colonies, and, in its contribution to the development of the officer corps, played a key part in shaping European military power. Drawing on a vast range of historical and cultural sources, this is the definitive account of a violent ritual that continues to fascinate even today.
