Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plague and Pestilence in Literature and Art This volume represents substantially the F itzpatrick Lectures which I had the privilege of delivering at the Royal College of Physicians in 1912. Originally I intended to do no more than gather together into a succinct record the various memorials and reminders of Pestilence that I had met with in my wanderings at home and abroad and in my casual incursions into general literature. Insensibly the desire to understand supplanted the desire merely to record, and the desire to explain superseded the endeavour to understand. I have turned my attention, as far as practicable, only to the literary and artistic associations of Pestilence, but these have inevitably overlapped the confines of history and of medical science. The latter territory has been invaded only so far as was necessary to ensure a correct orientation to the inquiry. I have thought it wise to let the curtain fall at the end of the eighteenth century, leaving it to my readers to decide what vestiges of the mentality of distant centuries have survived into this twentieth. A little reflection on this will afford a most salutary lesson to all of us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Old Saint Paul s written by William Harrison Ainsworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Saint Paul's: A Tale of the Plague and the Fire It is characteristic of Defoe that he rejects, with all the sober gravity of the historian the tale that the blind piper started his music in the cart, and so frightened the bearers away. He even denies that the piper was blind - he was only an ignorant, weak, poor man, playing his pipes from door to door and finding custom especially at the public-houses where they knew him and would give him drink and victuals, and sometimes farthings. Defoe's is the method of the Dutch painters, an absolute fidelity to every detail, no matter how commonplace or grotesque it may be. Ainsworth as a disciple of the romantic school has no such scruples his piper is blind, and is provided with a faithful dog, and a beautiful damsel whose father he is supposed to be, but who is in reality the daughter of a nobleman. The pestilence of 1665, as it was the last so it was the greatest of the plagues by which London had been afflicted, not even excepting the Black Death of 1349.

Download or read book Depictions of Pestilence in Literature Media and Art written by Kübra Baysal and published by . This book was released on 2023-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume fills a gap in studies of literature, media, culture, and art by exploring depictions of contagious diseases in different genres since the dawn of humanity and compiling a history of such representations of pestilence from a post-human and environmental perspective. Indulging in humankind's struggle with calamities throughout history, the collection discusses several media that portray real or imagined futures based on past and present facts. In today's world, which is stricken with global warming and the COVID-19 pandemic, these narratives, termed 'plague literature', hold a crucial position in guiding humanity towards a greater ecological awareness. The book will appeal to scholars, students, organisations, and individuals who are interested in studies of literature, history, media, art, and environmental humanities.
