Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires Preserved in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum, Vol. 5: 1771-1783 The strictly chronological order has been applied only to political satires. The prints fall into two categories, political and non-political, the latter being classed as personal in accordance with the title of the Catalogue. This group includes social satires and non-political prints in general. As the political prints exclude 'the purely historical print (e.g. Prints after West's Death of Wolfe, so opposed in spirit to Gillray's Death of the Great Wolf, a caricature of West's picture), so the personal and social satires exclude genre except where it is humorous or cautionary, and therefore a satire on manners or morals. Though most of the prints fall clearly into one or other category there are some which may be considered either political or personal; these are impossible to classify with rigorous consistency. But the value of these personal prints for social history depends upon a knowledge of their date; they are therefore arranged in years, though within each year chronological order has been waived in favour of arrange ment by series, by artist, or by subject, overlapping categories which cannot be strictly observed. Taken together, the sequence of political and social prints reflects, as nothing else does, the changing and elusive spirit of the period. At the same time, a traditional symbolism and the recurrence of the same theme from age to age show how strong was the power of tradition, even in this art, so essentially of the moment. The thirteen years covered by this volume saw a change in the manner of pictorial satire and a great development in its political importance. These developments were closely inter-related and can scarcely be dis cussed separately, they were due to the interaction of aesthetic and political causes, and they are the more marked since in 1771 political satire was at a low ebb, while during 1782 - 3 it was at the highest point yet reached.

Book excerpt: This engaging study explores how the works of Shakespeare, Milton, Swift, and others were taken up by caricaturists as a means of helping the eighteenth-century British public make sense of political issues, outrages, and personalities.

Download or read book English Common Law in the Age of Mansfield written by James Oldham and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2005-12-15 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eighteenth century, the English common law courts laid the foundation that continues to support present-day Anglo-American law. Lord Mansfield, Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, 1756-1788, was the dominant judicial force behind these developments. In this abridgment of his two-volume book, The Mansfield Manuscripts and the Growth of English Law in the Eighteenth Century, James Oldham presents the fundamentals of the English common law during this period, with a detailed description of the operational features of the common law courts. This work includes revised and updated versions of the historical and analytical essays that introduced the case transcriptions in the original volumes, with each chapter focusing on a different aspect of the law. While considerable scholarship has been devoted to the eighteenth-century English criminal trial, little attention has been given to the civil side. This book helps to fill that gap, providing an understanding of the principal body of substantive law with which America's founding fathers would have been familiar. It is an invaluable reference for practicing lawyers, scholars, and students of Anglo-American legal history.
Download or read book Picture World written by Rachel Teukolsky and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-16 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern media world came into being in the nineteenth century, when machines were harnessed to produce texts and images in unprecedented numbers. In the visual realm, new industrial techniques generated a deluge of affordable pictorial items, mass-printed photographs, posters, cartoons, and illustrations. These alluring objects of the Victorian parlor were miniaturized spectacles that served as portals onto phantasmagoric versions of 'the world.' Although new kinds of pictures transformed everyday life, these ephemeral items have received remarkably little scholarly attention. Picture World shines a welcome new light onto these critically neglected yet fascinating visual objects. They serve as entryways into the nineteenth century's key aesthetic concepts. Each chapter pairs a new type of picture with a foundational keyword in Victorian aesthetics, a familiar term reconceived through the lens of new media. 'Character' appears differently when considered with caricature, in the new comics and cartoons appearing in the mass press in the 1830s; likewise, the book approaches 'realism' through pictorial journalism; 'illustration' via illustrated Bibles; 'sensation' through carte-de-visite portrait photographs; 'the picturesque' by way of stereoscopic views; and 'decadence' through advertising posters. Picture World studies the aesthetic effects of the nineteenth century's media revolution: it uses the relics of a previous era's cultural life to interrogate the Victorian world's most deeply-held values, arriving at insights still relevant in our own media age.
