Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Bull originated in the creation of Dr John Arbuthnot in 1712, and was popularised first by British print makers. Arbuthnot created Bull in his pamphlet Law is a Bottomless Pit (1712)." Originally derided, William Hogarth and other British writers made Bull "a heroic archetype of the freeborn Englishman." Later, the figure of Bull was disseminated overseas by illustrators and writers such as American cartoonist Thomas Nast and Irish writer George Bernard Shaw, author of John Bull's Other Island.

Download or read book This Long Disease My Life written by Marjorie Hope Nicolson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When in his "Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot" Pope referred to “this long disease, my life,” his statement was quite literally true, since Pope, in addition to being a dwarf and a hunchback, suffered from many diseases during his lifetime. With technical advice from several physicians, the authors present the first medical case history of the poet. Drawing heavily upon the Correspondence for information about Pope's symptoms, they discuss the effect ill health had on his writings and the prevalence of medical themes in his works. The authors also explore Pope’s interests in astronomy (second only to his obsession with medicine), microscopy, geology, and physics and how they relate to his writings. Originally published in 1968.

Download or read book Three Hours After Marriage written by John Arbuthnot John Gay Alexander Pope and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-03-25 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[...]book. This quarrel, whether with both poets involved with Cibber or only one, doubtless cost the play a revival or two that it would otherwise have had; with such evidence of anger in the authors Cibber could well have wished to have done with them and their work. The use of the crocodile costume on April 2 in a dance at Drury Lane entitled The Shipwreck suggests that so far as the management was concerned the play for which it had been devised would not be acted again. Thereafter, Three Hours had only two revivals (Handlist of Plays in Nicoll, Early Eighteenth-Century Drama)-one in 1737 (two performances) the other in 1746 (three). A pity! But in any case the play could not have had much of a life on the[...]".

Download or read book The Dunciad written by Alexander Pope and published by The Floating Press. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fans of literary lampoonery will delight in the no-holds-barred, scorched-earth satire that British poet Alexander Pope unleashes in his witty masterpiece, The Dunciad. Disgusted by the teeming waves of self-proclaimed "writers" who emerged in search of a quick buck when the growing availability of cheaply printed books made sentimental stories popular with the public, Pope took it upon himself to put these hacks in their place in an epic poem lambasting their dullness and lack of refinement.

Download or read book Flesh in the Age of Reason written by Roy Porter and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2004 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Starting with the grim Britain of the Civil War era, with its punishing sense of the body as a corrupt vessel for the soul, Roy Porter charts how, through figures as diverse as Locke, Swift, Johnson, and Gibbon, ideas about medicine, politics, and religion fundamentally changed notions of self. He shows how the Enlightenment (with its explosion or rational thinking and scientific invention of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries) provided a lens through which we can best see the profound shift from the theocentric, otherwordly, Dark Ages to the modern, earthly, body-centered world we live in today. As man made in God's image gave way to the Enlightenment's notion of the Self-made man, the body moved center stage. Porter writes brilliantly on the ways in which men and women flaunted, decorated, tanned, and dieted themselves: activities that we find familiar but that a Puritan divine would have considered satanic. And he explores how, at the end of the century, the human soul took on a new significance in the works of Godwin, Blake, and Byron."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book Never at Rest written by Richard S. Westfall and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1983-04-29 with total page 934 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly detailed 1981 biography captures both the personal life and the scientific career of Isaac Newton, presenting a fully rounded picture of Newton the man, the scientist, the philosopher, the theologian, and the public figure. Professor Westfall treats all aspects of Newton's career, but his account centres on a full description of Newton's achievements in science. Thus the core of the work describes the development of the calculus, the experimentation that altered the direction of the science of optics, and especially the investigations in celestial dynamics that led to the law of universal gravitation.
Download or read book Memoirs of the Extraordinary Life Works and Discoveries of Martinus Scriblerus written by John Arbuthnot and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1988 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 18th-century satire is the product of a distinguished club whose members included Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift, John Gay, John Arbuthnot, Thomas Parnell, and Robert Harley. Together they set out to lampoom bad taste in education and the arts by lampooning the errors and pretensions of the fictional Martinus Scriblerus. This long-neglected masterpiece is accompanied by a preface that sets the Scriblerus club in its historical context and extensive notes that illuminate both thematic content and allusions. Still highly entertaining, the work is also an invaluable source of information on Augustan tastes.
