Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men and Women of the Eighteenth Century, Vol. 2 IT may excite astonishment that we return to individuals who, at the first glance, appear to be known to everybody, but in no instance have thought of reanimating one of these figures without the aid of unpublished documents. Up to the pres ent time, moreover, much greater attention has been given to a variation in the text of an author, than to a trait of character in his life. What, however, can he more interesting, than the study of the passions of a man whose name has survived him! Our chief study, therefore, in a poet should be, less the work which bears his name, than the movements of his heart. Poetry in action attracts us more than poetry ut] paper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men and Women of the Eighteenth Century The eighteenth century has two well-defined physiognomies. The first sprightly, frivolous, charming even in its follies, is marvellously personified in some well-known figures: Phillipe d'Orleans and La Phalaris, the Due de Richelieu and the Abbess de Chelles, Antoine Walteau, Voltaire in his youth. Mademoiselle de Camargo, the king Louis XV., supported by Madame de Pompadour and Madame Dubarry, Boucher and Vanloo, La Tour and Greuze, Voisenon who was an abbe, and Bernis who was a cardinal. Who besides? Shall I dare, after all these profane names, to mention her who consoled herself for the king and the throne, in her sheepfold of the Trianon? Do not forget some celebrated actresses: Mademoiselle Guimard, who lived like a queen; Sophie Arnould, who lived like a philosopher; others of rather less celebrity in the background of the picture.

Download or read book The Jewish Eighteenth Century Volume 2 written by Shmuel Feiner and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of Shmuel Feiner's The Jewish Eighteenth Century covers the period from 1750 to 1800, a time of even greater upheavals, tensions, and challenges. The changes that began to emerge at the beginning of the eighteenth century matured in the second half. Feiner explores how political considerations of the Jewish minority throughout Europe began to expand. From the "Jew Bill" of 1753 in Britain, to the surprising series of decrees issued by Joseph II of Austria that expanded tolerance in Austria, to the debate over emancipation in revolutionary France, the lives of the Jews of Europe became ever more intertwined with the political, social, economic, and cultural fabric of the continent. The Jewish Eighteenth Century, Volume 2: A European Biography, 1750-1800 concludes Feiner's landmark study of the history of Jewish populations in the period. By combining an examination of the broad and profound processes that changed the familiar world from the ground up with personal experiences of those who lived through them, it allows for a unique explanation of these momentous events.
Download or read book Women and Work in Eighteenth Century France written by Daryl M. Hafter and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2015-01-12 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eighteenth century, French women were active in a wide range of employments-from printmaking to running whole-sale businesses-although social and legal structures frequently limited their capacity to work independently. The contributors to Women and Work in Eighteenth-Century France reveal how women at all levels of society negotiated these structures with determination and ingenuity in order to provide for themselves and their families. Recent historiography on women and work in eighteenth-century France has focused on the model of the "family economy," in which women's work existed as part of the communal effort to keep the family afloat, usually in support of the patriarch's occupation. The ten essays in this volume offer case studies that complicate the conventional model: wives of ship captains managed family businesses in their husbands' extended absences; high-end prostitutes managed their own households; female weavers, tailors, and merchants increasingly appeared on eighteenth-century tax rolls and guild membership lists; and female members of the nobility possessed and wielded the same legal power as their male counterparts. Examining female workers within and outside of the context of family, Women and Work in Eighteenth-Century France challenges current scholarly assumptions about gender and labor. This stimulating and important collection of essays broadens our understanding of the diversity, vitality, and crucial importance of women's work in the eighteenth-century economy.

This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men and Women of the Eighteenth Century, Vol. 1 AN ancient sage has represented human reason under the form of an adventuress in rags resting in the evening upon ruins. Can we not thus represent the pliilosophy of the eighteenth century? She has penetrated the tem ple - she has there inscribed her name; but the temple is naught but a majestic ruin. In the eighteenth cen tury, wit destroyed the heart, reason destroyed poetry. After the reign of Pascal, who sought God in a future life, is the reign of Voltaire, who, forgetting God, stud ed only human life. The heart beat no more; wit de voured all. The seventeenth century was the slave of heaven; the eighteenth century proclaimed itself free, and broke the golden chains which joined heaven to earth. Enslaved, it had the voluptuousness of endurance: free, it stretched its arms, and found but vacuity. Pascal saw the abyss under his feet, but he also saw heaven beyond the.
