Download or read book John James Audubon s Journal Of 1826 written by John James Audubon and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John James Audubon, an early American naturalist and painter, produced one of the greatest works of natural history and art of the nineteenth century, The Birds of America. As the record of the interior story of the making of this monumental work, his journal of 1826 is one of the richest documents in the history of American culture. ø The first accurate transcription of Audubon?s 1826 journal, this edition corrects many of the errors, both intentional and unintentional, found in previous editions. Such errors have obscured the figure of Audubon as a man struggling to realize his professional and artistic dreams. When Audubon embarked for Liverpool from New Orleans in 1826, he carried with him more than 250 of his watercolor drawings in a heavy case, a packet of letters of introduction, and many a good reason to believe that he was a fool to be gambling his family?s fortunes on so risky and grandiose a venture. These journal entries, conveying with energy and emotion Audubon?s experience of risking everything on a dream??Oh, America, Wife, Children and acquaintances, Farewell!??document an American icon?s transformation from a beleaguered backwoods artist and naturalist to the man who would become America?s premier ornithologist, illustrator of birds, and nature essayist.

Download or read book Networks of Improvement written by Jon Mee and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this book, Jon Mee proposes a new literary-cultural history of the Industrial Revolution in Britain from the late-eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries. Against the stubbornly persistent image of "dark satanic mills," in many ways so comforting to literary Romanticism, Jon Mee provides fresh, revisionary account of the Industrial Revolution as a story of unintended consequences. Reading a wide range of texts-economic, medical, and more conventionally "literary" ones-with a distinctive focus on their circulation through networks and institutions, Mee shows how a project of enlightened liberal reform, articulated in Britain's emerging manufacturing towns, led unexpectedly to coercive forms of machine productivity, a pattern that might be seen repeating in the digital technologies in our own time. Instead of treating the Industrial Revolution as Romanticism's "other," Mee shows how writing, practices, and institutions emanating from the industrial towns developed a new kind of knowledge economy, one where "literary" debates played a key role, especially through local literary and philosophical societies who were important transmission hubs for the circulation of knowledge. Mee provides a new perspective on the development of social relations across the period, challenging the idea that the Industrial Revolution as the result of some kind of prior, ideological intention. The book will interest literary scholars concerned with the relation of Romanticism to Britain's social and economic upheavals; social and economic historians studying the underpinnings of the Industrial Revolution; and cultural historians tracing the relation between social networks and political philosophy"--

Download or read book The Reception of Edmund Burke in Europe written by Martin Fitzpatrick and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last fifty years the life and work of Edmund Burke (1729-1797) has received sustained scholarly attention and debate. The publication of the complete correspondence in ten volumes and the nine volume edition of Burke's Writings and Speeches have provided material for the scholarly reassessment of his life and works. Attention has focused in particular on locating his ideas in the history of eighteenth-century theory and practice and the contexts of late eighteenth-century conservative thought. This book broadens the focus to examine the many sided interest in Burke's ideas primarily in Europe, and most notably in politics and aesthetics. It draws on the work of leading international scholars to present new perspectives on the significance of Burke's ideas in European politics and culture.
