Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires, Vol. 7: Preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum, 1793-1800 There is tragic coincidence in the appearance of the present volume, dealing with the revolutionary period from 1793 to 1800, at a time when Europe is again overshadowed by war, and divided by national, political, and moral issues which often reflect, in like intensity, the conflicts and controversies of the earlier period. The pictorial illustration of these burning issues was peculiarly suited to the savage genius of Gillray, whose prestige was at its height in England and on the continent. Rowlandson, on the other hand, was less active during these years, though many attractive prints were published after earlier drawings, or as re-issues of earlier plates. A new period of activity opened for him in 1798, when scenes of army life were a fresh inspiration. About the same time begins the series of whole-length caricature portraits, for which Robert Dighton is chiefly known, after his short-lied experiments in political caricature. Unfortunately the Museum collection of these portraits is far from complete. Much interesting work was done by lesser artists, under the influence of Rowlandson and Gillray, Isaac Cruikshank and Woodward being especially prolific. The period covered is one year less than that of Volume VI, and the prints described are more than proportionately fewer. The reason for this is the very great number of political satires for the year 1784, about three times the average of other years, a result of the crisis of 1783-4, followed by a general election, when many prints were used as electioneering literature. Many of the prints of the present volume are international propaganda, some commissioned by the Committee of Public Safety, some fostered by a Ministerial pension to Gillray. The struggle between Pitt and Fox, the leading theme of Volume VI, continues, deepened by issues of war and peace. The Department is particularly indebted to Lord Ilchester, Mr. Anthony de Rothschild, and Mr. Minto Wilson, who have lent valuable collections of caricatures for purposes of collation. The Holland House collection has the exceptional interest of Ms. notes and identifications by the third Lord Holland. The Museum collection has been enriched by gifts from Mr. Minto Wilson and Mr. Robert Cust, while the former and Mr. Alfred Rubens have kindly allowed photographs to be taken of rare prints. Dr. George wishes to express her thanks for the help given her by Mr. E.H. Blakeney, Mr. W.B. Crumpe, Mr. Randall Davies, Dr. Gombrich, Mr. Wickham Legg, Mr. N.D. Riley, and Miss Sybil Rosenfeld. She is also much indebted to the Librarian of the House of Lords for giving her facilities for examining the Gillray collection in the Library, and to the staff of the Library in which she and her material are temporarily housed for their unwearied assistance. The final revision of the volume has been rendered more difficult by Dr. George's absence from the British Museum, and by the consequent lack of opportunity of reference to the Museum Library. I would ask for indulgence in case her habitual accuracy should have suffered thereby in any detail. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Richard Brinsley Sheridan written by Jack E. DeRochi and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new collection of essays on Richard Brinsley Sheridan brings the most important British playwright of the eighteenth century back to the forefront of literary and cultural studies of the era. While his pyrotechnic life as a romantic hero, playwright, Member of Parliament, and theatre manager has generated a number of recent biographies, it is Sheridan's works--not just plays but also poetry and orations--that endure. These essays reclaim the legacy of the man of letters and partisan bon vivant who burst from obscurity to become a powerful cultural force in Georgian London. This collection covers the many lives of Sheridan, taking into account both his variegated career and the competing accounts of the man, as well as his early verse, which lays the foundation for his success as a playwright. Chapters are devoted to Sheridan's theatre, and provide innovative readings of his most famous dramatic pieces: The Rivals, The Duenna, The School for Scandal, The Critic, and Pizarro. The volume also includes extensive discussion of the dramatic highs of Sheridan's long political career, thus placing the playwright-politician firmly in the world in which performance and politics were inextricably entwined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, the world of Christian radicalism in the first half of the nineteenth century is reconstructed here with thorough research by Eileen Groth Lyon. Christian radicals, during this period, sought to incite political action through the use of Scripture, using such themes as the rights of man as founded in God’s gift of creation, the deliverance of oppressed peoples, and the perceived favour towards the poor shown in the Gospels. The author tracks the origin and fate of the movement for the first time, from its beginnings in the eighteenth century, through its implementation in the major politic agitations of the early and mid-nineteenth century, to its fruition in the achievements of the campaigns for parliamentary, factory and poor law reform. By focusing on the Christian radical programme, Politicians in the Pulpit advances a new understanding of the most important political initiatives of early Victorian Britain.

Download or read book Napoleon and English Romanticism written by Simon Bainbridge and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-11-24 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Napoleon Bonaparte occupied a central place in the consciousness of many British writers of the Romantic period. He was a profound shaping influence on their thinking and writing, and a powerful symbolic and mythic figure whom they used to legitimize and discredit a wide range of political and aesthetic positions. In this first ever full-length study of Romantic writers' obsession with Napoleon, Simon Bainbridge focuses on the writings of the Lake poets Wordsworth, Coleridge and Southey, and of Byron and Hazlitt. Combining detailed analyses of specific texts with broader historical and theoretical approaches, and illustrating his argument with the visual evidence of contemporary cartoons, Bainbridge shows how Romantic writers constructed, appropriated, and contested different Napoleons as a crucial part of their sustained and partisan engagement in the political and cultural debates of the day.
