Book excerpt: Excerpt from Terra Incognita: Or the Convents of the United Kingdom Before my readers will have perused many pages of this book, they will find that it is not a work of mere vague assertion, lightly written, but a carefully marshalled array of facts, derived from official and other unexceptionable sources. These facts, I flatter myself, will be found to present, in the aggregate, a body of evidence, alike interesting and useful. My object is to convey information on a subject about which much ignorance and misconception prevail; and I rejoice that I address those, who, whatever their misconceptions may be, are eminently lovers of what is fair and just. In a former publication I had the good fortune to write in a tone of candour and impartiality, that has been generously acknowledged and appreciated by readers and reviewers of every variety of religious profession and every shade of political opinion. I have spared no pains to preserve the same tone throughout every page of this book; and in this, at least, I trust I have succeeded. Strictly speaking, the word 'Convent' means a house for persons of either sex, living in community, and devoted to religion. The common acceptation of the word, however, is a house of religious women. Thus, we have lately heard a great deal about 'the Convent question, ' 'an inquiry into convents, ' and 'the inspection of convents.' We also read of 'convent schools, ' in the reports of Her Majesty's inspectors of schools. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Catholicism in Britain France Since 1789 written by Frank Tallett and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 1996-07-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an up-to-date analysis of Catholicism in Britain and France, examining various aspects of the faith in the 200 years since the French Revolution. By focusing on two countries whose religious establishement and experience were markedly different, and by adopting a comparative approach, the book is able to offer an unusual perspective on the challenges facing the Catholic church in the modern world and on its impact not only on believers, but also on the two societies as a whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solitude has always had an ambivalent status: the capacity to enjoy being alone can make sociability bearable, but those predisposed to solitude are often viewed with suspicion or pity. Drawing on a wide array of literary and historical sources, David Vincent explores how people have conducted themselves in the absence of company over the last three centuries. He argues that the ambivalent nature of solitude became a prominent concern in the modern era. For intellectuals in the romantic age, solitude gave respite to citizens living in ever more complex modern societies. But while the search for solitude was seen as a symptom of modern life, it was also viewed as a dangerous pathology: a perceived renunciation of the world, which could lead to psychological disorder and anti-social behaviour. Vincent explores the successive attempts of religious authorities and political institutions to manage solitude, taking readers from the monastery to the prisoner’s cell, and explains how western society’s increasing secularism, urbanization and prosperity led to the development of new solitary pastimes at the same time as it made traditional forms of solitary communion, with God and with a pristine nature, impossible. At the dawn of the digital age, solitude has taken on new meanings, as physical isolation and intense sociability have become possible as never before. With the advent of a so-called loneliness epidemic, a proper historical understanding of the natural human desire to disengage from the world is more important than ever. The first full-length account of its subject, A History of Solitude will appeal to a wide general readership.

Download or read book The British written by Terence Thomas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-10-19 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a source book for the study of religions in Britain in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It covers an important period in the history of religions in Britain, a period of challenge to religion and a period of change in the religious map of Britain. Each author is a specialist in a particular aspect if this history, and there are extensive bibliographies. The book demonstrates how pluralistic the map of religion has been in Britain, thereby challenging the view that Britain is and has been a predominantly single religion country. This religious pluralism is shown to apply within the Christian religion as much as to those movements outside Christianity. There are six contributors: Dr Sheridan Gilley, (Durham); Rev Ieuan P. Ellis, (Hull) ; Professor Anthony O. Dyson, (Manchester); Dr Kim Knott, (Leeds); Dr David Hempton, (Belfast); Dr Kenneth A Thompson, (The Open University).
