Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fascinated by them, unable to ignore them, and imaginatively stimulated by them, Charles Dickens was an acute and unsentimental reporter on the dogs he kept and encountered during a time when they were a burgeoning part of the nineteenth-century urban and domestic scene. As dogs inhabited Dickens’s city, so too did they populate his fiction, journalism, and letters. In the first book-length work of criticism on Dickens’s relationship to canines, Beryl Gray shows that dogs, real and invented, were intrinsic to Dickens’s vision and experience of London and to his representations of its life. Gray draws on an array of reminiscences by Dickens’s friends, family, and fellow writers, and also situates her book within the context of nineteenth-century attitudes towards dogs as revealed in the periodical press, newspapers, and institutional archives. Integral to her study is her analysis of Dickens’s texts in relationship to their illustrations by George Cruikshank and Hablot Knight Browne and to portraiture by late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century artists like Thomas Gainsborough and Edwin Landseer. The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination will not only enlighten readers and critics of Dickens and those interested in his life but will serve as an important resource for scholars interested in the Victorian city, the treatment of animals in literature and art, and attitudes towards animals in nineteenth-century Britain.

Download or read book Oriental Networks written by Bärbel Czennia and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2020-12-18 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oriental Networks explores forms of interconnectedness between Western and Eastern hemispheres during the long eighteenth century, a period of improving transportation technology, expansion of intercultural contacts, and the emergence of a global economy. In eight case studies and a substantial introduction, the volume examines relationships between individuals and institutions, precursors to modern networks that engaged in forms of intercultural exchange. Addressing the exchange of cultural commodities (plants, animals, and artifacts), cultural practices and ideas, the roles of ambassadors and interlopers, and the literary and artistic representation of networks, networkers, and networking, contributors discuss the effects on people previously separated by vast geographical and cultural distance. Rather than idealizing networks as inherently superior to other forms of organization, Oriental Networks also considers Enlightenment expressions of resistance to networking that inform modern skepticism toward the concept of the global network and its politics. In doing so the volume contributes to the increasingly global understanding of culture and communication. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Gallery of Dogs in the 19th Century is a chronological time-capsule of 350 photographs and illustrations originally published in 50 books and magazines from 1858 to 1898. During these years, ancient canine breeds were defined and refined into modern breeds that are now beloved domesticated family members in millions of households. Three enduring organizations were founded in this pivotal era: the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (1866), the Westminster Kennel Club (1877), and the American Kennel Club (1884). Dogs had long been bred for specific localized tasks-hunting, retrieving, herding, protecting property, pulling a sled, turning a wheel-but there were no established standards or criteria for breeds. The Victorian Era gave birth to widespread controlled breeding. Kennel clubs in England, Holland, Germany and other countries began standardized breeding in the 1850s. The public was introduced to new breeds through the only media available: printed newspapers, books and magazines. The photographs and illustrations they published inspired affections Americans began to feel toward favorite breeds. Public enlightenment led to banning brutal animal sports like bull-baiting, bear-baiting, and dog-fighting in many regions of the country. The illustrations are presented in chronological order by publication date. The Index is divided into separate sections for breeds and general subjects. Featured breeds include the retriever, pointer, poodle, beagle, bulldog, Newfoundland, mastiff, shepherd, collie, dachshund, great Dane, dalmatian, wolf dog, St. Bernard, sheep dog, Mexican hairless, pugs, setters (Irish setter, English setter, Gordon setter), hounds (greyhound, foxhound, bloodhound, basset hound, deerhound), spaniels (cocker spaniel, clumber spaniel, Irish water spaniel), terriers (Airedale terrier, Bedlington terrier, black and tan terrier, Boston terrier, bull terrier, English terrier, fox terrier, Irish terrier, Maltese terrier, otter terrier, Scotch terrier, Yorkshire terrier), and lots of puppies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Essays, short stories and poems by eminent creative writers, critics and scholars from three continents celebrate the literary achievements of Barbara Hardy, the foremost exponent of close critical reading in the latter half of the twentieth century and today. Her work, as the essays in the volume bear witness, encompasses 19th and 20th century British fiction, poetry, and Shakespeare. In addition to an introduction outlining and assessing Hardy's career and writing, there is an extensive bibliography of her work. Comparatively short, concise essays, stories and poems by twenty distinguished hands express the eclectic nature of Barbara Hardy's work and themselves form a many-faceted critical/creative gathering. Form and Feeling moves away from the traditional festschrift to create an innovative critical genre that reflects the variety and nature of its subject's work. In addition to Barbara Hardy's own writing, authors and subjects treated include Anglo-Welsh poetry, nineteenth century fiction, Margaret Atwood, Wilkie Collins, Ivy Compton Burnet, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell, G. M. Hopkins, Wyndham Lewis, George Meredith, Alice Meynell, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Shakespeare, and W. B. Yeats, amongst others."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: - More than 150 pugs and a wonderful variety of other dogs - Knowledgeable texts about the pug as a popular companion at European courts - Terrific insight into a previously unpublished southern German private collection In the 18th century pugs found their way onto the laps of noblewomen and, with this, into the portraits of contemporary rulers. Small and forever panting, the pug could not be put to use as a watchdog or a herding dog, but it compensated for this with its charm. The dog ultimately found its way onto porcelain and faience. Johann Joachim Kändler, the most significant modeler of the Meissen porcelain manufactory, designed over 60 variants of the pug between 1740 and 1760 - standing, lying, scratching, and performing tricks. Kändler portrayed the pug belonging to Count Heinrich von Brühl in a splendid one-off, but he also produced models for serial production. This southern German collection comprises over 150 ceramic pugs as well as other dogs. Moreover, they do not just appear individually; they may also be part of a courtly scene or decorate wares in the gallant style - accessories such as flacons, (snuff) boxes, and walking-stick handles. Text in English and German.
