This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Homespun, Vol. 2: A Literary Magazine; April 1927 Before 1700 short articles had been written for children's read ing. Yet all these stories were didactic; they taught obedience to parents or correct behavior at church. Little Goody two-shoes by Oliver Goldsmith is an example of this kind of writing. Later, Rousseau was among the first to awaken an interest in children's literature by teaching less formal methods of schooling. Charles Lamb came next; it seems that he was the first to get the idea that literature for children should be just as artistic and just as worthy of literary recognition as literature for adults. For children or men was a favorite phrase of his; it may be well applied to his and his sister's prose version of Shakespeare's plays.

Download or read book The Perversity of Things written by Hugo Gernsback and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1905, a young Jewish immigrant from Luxembourg founded an electrical supply shop in New York. This inventor, writer, and publisher Hugo Gernsback would later become famous for launching the first science fiction magazine, Amazing Stories, in 1926. But while science fiction’s annual Hugo Awards were named in his honor, there has been surprisingly little understanding of how the genre began among a community of tinkerers all drawn to Gernsback’s vision of comprehending the future of media through making. In The Perversity of Things, Grant Wythoff makes available texts by Hugo Gernsback that were foundational both for science fiction and the emergence of media studies. Wythoff argues that Gernsback developed a means of describing and assessing the cultural impact of emerging media long before media studies became an academic discipline. From editorials and blueprints to media histories, critical essays, and short fiction, Wythoff has collected a wide range of Gernsback’s writings that have been out of print since their magazine debut in the early 1900s. These articles cover such topics as television; the regulation of wireless/radio; war and technology; speculative futures; media-archaeological curiosities like the dynamophone and hypnobioscope; and more. All together, this collection shows how Gernsback’s publications evolved from an electrical parts catalog to a full-fledged literary genre. The Perversity of Things aims to reverse the widespread misunderstanding of Gernsback within the history of science fiction criticism. Through painstaking research and extensive annotations and commentary, Wythoff reintroduces us to Gernsback and the origins of science fiction.
