Download or read book Domestic Violence in Victorian and Edwardian Fiction written by Jina Moon and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book opens the curtain on the crucial role played by Victorian and Edwardian novelists in changing views of domestic violence. Examining the mechanisms of domestic violence through the historical lenses of the law, crime, and economics, this study illuminates these novelists’ depictions of wife-battering, including scenes in which women witness their children being beaten or children witness their mothers’ beatings. This book also shows how these representations interacted with changing paradigms of masculinity and femininity at the time. Extending from the decades before the 1857 Divorce Act to the Suffrage era, the book details the changing circumstances of conjugal violence and divorce in England. William Makepeace Thackeray’s The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq. (1844) and Caroline Norton’s Stuart of Dunleath: A Story of Modern Times (1851) expose the impact of class on reactions to domestic violence. Wilkie Collins’s The Law and the Lady (1875) and Ouida’s (Marie Louise de la Ramé) Moths (1880) depict proto-New Women figures who resist domestic violence, while traditional wife figures continue to fall victim. In Mona Caird’s The Wing of Azrael (1889) and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles (1902) and “The Adventure of the Abbey Grange” (1904), protagonists exact their own justice on perpetrators of domestic violence. By the Edwardian period, it was clear that legislation alone could not solve the problems of domestic violence. Constance Maud’s No Surrender (1911) adroitly links wife-battering with public violence against suffragettes, exposing the underlying British socio-cultural system that maintained women’s subordination.

Download or read book The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon Esq written by William Makepeace Thackeray and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barry Lyndon—far from the best known, but by some critics acclaimed as the finest, of Thackeray's works—appeared originally as a serial a few years before VANITY FAIR was written; yet it was not published in book form, and then not by itself, until after the publication of VANITY FAIR, PENDENNIS, ESMOND and THE NEWCOMES had placed its author in the forefront of the literary men of the day. So many years after the event we cannot help wondering why the story was not earlier put in book form; for in its delineation of the character of an adventurer it is as great as VANITY FAIR, while for the local colour of history, if I may put it so, it is no undistinguished precursor of ESMOND.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Redmond Barry, a spirited young Irishman, embarks on an ambitious journey through 18th-century Europe. Starting from his rural roots in Ireland, he sets his sights on the heights of aristocratic society. Through a series of calculated moves and fortunate encounters, Barry navigates the complexities of courtship and social climbing. His path intertwines with historical events and influential figures, shaping his rise from obscurity to prominence. Yet, beneath the veneer of glamour and success, Barry's journey is fraught with personal sacrifices and moral compromises. William Thackeray's narrative skillfully unfolds Barry Lyndon's saga with a blend of satire and insight into human nature. Through Barry's adventures and misadventures, Thackeray examines the allure of social status and the moral dilemmas faced by those who pursue it relentlessly. WILLIAM THACKERAY [1811-1863] was one of Victorian England’s most prominent authors. Among his most famous works are Vanity Fair [1847-1848] and The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq. [1844].

Download or read book Known and Unknown written by Donald Rumsfeld and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 882 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful memoir from the late former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld With the same directness that defined his career in public service, Rumsfeld's memoir is filled with previously undisclosed details and insights about the Bush administration, 9/11, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. It also features Rumsfeld's unique and often surprising observations on eight decades of history. Rumsfeld addresses the challenges and controversies of his illustrious career, from the unseating of the entrenched House Republican leader in 1965, to helping the Ford administration steer the country away from Watergate and Vietnam, to the war in Iraq, to confronting abuse at Abu Ghraib. Along the way, he offers his plainspoken, first-hand views and often humorous and surprising anecdotes about some of the world's best-known figures, ranging from Elvis Presley to George W. Bush. Both a fascinating narrative and an unprecedented glimpse into history,Known and Unknown captures the legacy of one of the most influential men in public service.

Download or read book Thackeray in Time written by Richard Salmon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-12 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intense fascination with the experience of time has long been recognised as a distinctive feature of the writing of William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863). This collection of essays, however, represents the first sustained critical examination of Thackeray's 'time consciousness' in all its varied manifestations. Encompassing the full chronological span of the author's career and a wide range of literary forms and genres in which he worked, Thackeray in Time repositions Thackeray's temporal and historical self-consciousness in relation to the broader socio-cultural contexts of Victorian modernity. The first part of the collection focusses on some of the characteristic temporal modes of professional authorship and print culture in the mid-nineteenth century, including periodical journalism and the Christmas book market. Secondly, the volume offers fresh approaches to Thackeray's acknowledged status as a major exponent of historical fiction, reconsidering questions of historiography and the representation of place in such novels as Vanity Fair and Henry Esmond. The final part of the collection develops the central Thackerayan theme of memory within four very different but complementary contexts. Thackeray's absorption by memories of childhood in later life leads on to his own subsequent memorialisation by familial descendants and to the potential of digital technology for preserving and enhancing Thackeray's print archive in the future, and finally to the critical legacy perpetuated by generations of literary scholars since his death.
