Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1893 edition. Excerpt: ... A LETTER ON THE DEAF AND DUMB FOR the benefit of those who can speak and hear, which treats of the origin of inversions in language, of harmony of style, of sublimity of situation, and of some advantages which the French language possesses over other languages, ancient and modern, followed by some thoughts on expression in the fine arts. I grant that this title will apply equally to the large number of those who speak without understanding, and the small number of those who understand without speaking, as to the very small number of those who speak and understand, and for whose special use my letter is intended. I am not fond of quotations, especially of those from the Greek; they give a learned air to a book, an air which is no longer fashionable. They frighten away readers, and if I were deciding from a publisher's point of view I should leave out such scarecrows. But I am not a publisher, so pray suffer the Greek quotations to stay where you find them. If you care less for a book being good than that it should be read, it is not so with me; what I care for is to make a good book, although it may risk being read the less. As to the number of subjects I touch upon, flitting from one to another, I would have you know and teach that this is no fault in a letter, where one is allowed to digress freely, and where the last word of a phrase is a sufficient link to the next. Now, in order to treat of inversions we must first examine how languages are formed. Objects that strike the senses are those which are first observed, and those which unite various qualities which appeal to the senses are named first. Then the various qualities are separately observed and named, and these form most of our adjectives. Later on, these sensible qualities...

This book was released on 2010-12-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chance ordained that Denis Diderot (1713-1784) was not only a philosopher, playwright and writer, but also a salonnier. In other words, an art critic. In 1759, his friend Grimm entrusted him with a project that forced him to acquire "thoughtful notions concerning painting and sculpture" and to refine "art terms, so familiar in his words yet so vague in his mind". Diderot wrote artistic reviews of exhibitions – Salons – that were organized bi-annually at the Louvre by the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. These reviews, published in the Correspondence Littéraire, were Diderot’s unique contribution to art criticism in France. He fulfilled his task of salonnier on nine occasions, despite occasional dips in his enthusiasm and self-confidence. Compiled and presented by Jean Szenec, this anthology helps the contemporary reader to familiarize himself with Diderot’s aesthetic thought in all its greatness. It includes eight illustrations and is followed by texts from Jean Starobinski, Michel Delon, and Arthur Cohen. ‘On Art and Artists’ is translated by John Glaus, professor of French and an amateur expert of the XVIIIth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'rise of the middle class' in the eighteenth century has long been taken to usher in a prosaic age synonymous with the death of tragedy, an age in which the sheer ordinariness of bourgeois life was both antithetical and inured to the tragic. But the period's literature tells a very different story. Re-assembling a body of print and performance concerned with the misfortunes of the middling sort, The Making of British Bourgeois Tragedy argues that these works imagined a particularly modern sort of affliction, an 'ordinary suffering' proper to ordinary life, divested of the sorts of meanings, rhetorics, and affective resonances once deployed to understand it. Whereas neoclassical aesthetics aligned tragedy with the heroic and the admirable, this 'bourgeois and domestic tragedy' treated the pain of common people with dignity and seriousness, meditating upon a suffering that was homely, familiar, entangled in the nascent values of capitalism, yet no less haunted by God. Hence, where many have seen aesthetic stagnation, misfiring emotion, and the absence of an idealized tragicness in the genre, this volume sees instead a sustained engagement in the emotional processes and representational techniques through which the middle rank feels its way into modernity. By attending closely to this long neglected subject, The Making of British Bourgeois Tragedy turns the critical account of eighteenth-century tragedy on its head. It reads the genre's emergence in the period as a vigorous cultural conversation on whose life—and whose way of life—is grievable, as well as how mourning might be performed
