Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fragments and Scraps of History, Vol. 1 I'r may be satisfactory, if not even due, to those few friends for whom the private perusal of these pages is designed, to explain the reasons why this heterogeneous massof Fragments and Scraps is presented to them instead of some continuous his tory, of which, from what follows, it would seem there were abundant powers of selection. The fact is of easy, if not of satisfactory explanation. With the exception of a few passages in the original text, and in the notes, these Fragments are the growth of considerably more than thirty years. It will be seen that about thirty years ago (and about two years before I quitted my professional occupation, and accepted the invitation to undertake the duties, and to encounter the arduous and incessant labours.

Download or read book The Part and the Whole in Early American Literature Print Culture and Art written by Matthew Pethers and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-12 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this pathbreaking collection consider the significance of varied early American fragmentary genres and practices—from diaries and poetry, to almanacs and commonplace books, to sermons and lists, to Indigenous ruins and other material shards and fragments—often overlooked by critics in a scholarly privileging of the “whole.” Contributors from literary studies, book history, and visual culture discuss a host of canonical and non-canonical figures, from Edward Taylor and Washington Irving to Mary Rowlandson and Sarah Kemble Knight, offering insight into the many intellectual, ideological, and material variations of “form” that populated the early American cultural landscape. As these essays reveal, the casting of the fragmentary as aesthetically eccentric or incomplete was a way of reckoning with concerns about the related fragmentation of nation, society, and self. For a contemporary audience, they offer new ways to think about the inevitable gaps and absences in our cultural and historical archive.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Arguments with History written by R. Knowles and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-12-21 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argument was the basis of Renaissance education; both rhetoric and dialectic permeated early modern humanist culture, including drama. This study approaches Shakespeare's history plays by analyzing the use of argument in the plays and examining the importance of argument in Renaissance culture. Knowles shows how analysis of arguments of speech and action take us to the core of the plays, in which Shakespeare interrogates the nature of political morality and truth as grounded in the history of what men do and say.
Download or read book Love history and emotion in Chaucer and Shakespeare written by Andrew James Johnston and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays explores medieval and early modern Troilus-texts from Chaucer to Shakespeare. The contributions show how medieval and early modern fictions of Troy use love and other emotions as a means of approaching the problem of tradition. As these texts reflect on their own traditionality, they highlight both the affective nature of temporality and the role of affect in scrutinising tradition itself. Focusing on a specific textual lineage that bridges the conventional period boundaries, the collection participates in an exchange between medievalists and early modernists that seeks to generate a dialogic encounter between the periods with the aim of further dismantling the rigid notions of chronology and periodisation that have kept medieval and early modern scholarship apart.
Download or read book Broken Bodies Places and Objects written by Anna Sörman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-29 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Broken Bodies, Places and Objects demonstrates the breadth of fragmentation and fragment use in prehistory and history and provides an up-to-date insight into current archaeological thinking around the topic. A seal broken and shared by two trade parties, dog jaws accompanying the dead in Mesolithic burials, fragments of ancient warships commodified as souvenirs, parts of an ancient dynastic throne split up between different colonial collections... Pieces of the past are everywhere around us. Fragments have a special potential precisely because of their incomplete format – as a new matter that can reference its original whole but can also live on with new, unrelated meanings. Deliberate breakage of bodies, places and objects for the use of fragments has been attested from all time periods in the past. It has now been over 20 years since John Chapman’s major publication introducing fragmentation studies, and the topic is more present than ever in archaeology. This volume offers the first European-wide review of the concept of fragmentation, collecting case studies from the Neolithic to Modernity and extending the ideas of fragmentation theory in new directions. The book is written for scholars and students in archaeology, but it is also relevant for neighbouring fields with an interest in material culture, such as anthropology, history, cultural heritage studies, museology, art and architecture.
Download or read book Modernism and the Theater of Censorship written by Adam Parkes and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996-02-22 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adam Parkes investigates the literary and cultural implications of the censorship encountered by several modern novelists in the early twentieth century. He situates modernism in the context of this censorship, examining the relations between such authors as D.H. Lawrence, James Joyce, Radclyffe Hall, and Virginia Woolf and the public controversies generated by their fictional explorations of modern sexual themes. These authors located "obscenity" at the level of stylistic and formal experiment. The Rainbow, Lady Chatterley's Lover, Ulysses, and Orlando dramatized problems of sexuality and expression in ways that subverted the moral, political, and aesthetic premises on which their censors operated. In showing how modernism evolved within a culture of censorship, Modernism and the Theater of Censorship suggests that modern novelists, while shaped by their culture, attempted to reshape it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume documents the analysis of excavated historical archaeological collections at the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa. The corpus provides a rich picture of life and times at this distant outpost of an immense Dutch seaborne empire during the contact period. Representing over three decades of excavation, conservation, and analysis, the book examines ceramics, glass, metal, and other categories of artifacts in their archaeological contexts. An enclosed CD includes a video reconstruction plus a comprehensive catalog and color illustrations of the artifacts in the corpus. The parallels and contrasts this volume reveals will help scholars studying the European expansion period to build a richer comparative picture of colonial material culture.
