Book excerpt: Elizabeth Davis - known in Wales as Betsy Cadwaladyr - was a ladies' maid from Mayrionydd who travelled the world and gained fame as a nurse during the Crimean war.

Journeying to many exotic parts of the globe, she came into contact with international events in the horrors of the filled hospital at Balaclava, where she served under Florence Nightingale.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1857 edition. Excerpt: ... POSTCKIPT. "Yet History has her doubts, and every age With sceptic queries marks the passing page; Records of old, nor later dates are clear, Too distant those, and these are placed too near!" Ckabbe's "libbaby." In foot-notes throughout the work, much illustrative matter has been brought to bear upon various points of Cadwaladyr's history. While the Autobiography has been passing through the press, some additional information has been gleaned from the wide fields of the Heroine's adventures, and this is garnered in the present chapter. In the seventh chapter of the first volume of this Autobiography, pp. 150--8, she narrates several particulars of her mistress's proceedings which may appear to many persons highly improbable. Parallels may, however, be readily found. Mrs. S 's fast-day habitude was not singular, nor local, nor has it become obsolete. Individuals are now living who avowedly deem it "foolish to fast and inconvenience oneself, when merely saying a benediction over the meat and fancying it to be fish does just as well!" The Trinidad transaction, and more especially the pecuniary part of it, receives elucidation from "La Semaine Religieuse," T. 7, No. 172, which contains the address and instructions of MM. les Vicaires Generaux Capitulaires, administrant le diocese de Paris, le siege vacant, au clerge et aux fi deles du diocese, for the proper observation of Lent. The following quotations from this high authoritv will suffice: --"Apres en avoir confere" avec nos veneVables confreres les chanoines et chapitre de l'dgllse de Paris, nous avons ordonne et ordonnons ce qui suit: "Aet. 1.

Download or read book Hearing the Crimean War written by Gavin Williams and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-12-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does sound, whether preserved or lost, tell us about nineteenth-century wartime? Hearing the Crimean War: Wartime Sound and the Unmaking of Sense pursues this question through the many territories affected by the Crimean War, including Britain, France, Turkey, Russia, Italy, Poland, Latvia, Dagestan, Chechnya, and Crimea. Examining the experience of listeners and the politics of archiving sound, it reveals the close interplay between nineteenth-century geographies of empire and the media through which wartime sounds became audible--or failed to do so. The volume explores the dynamics of sound both in violent encounters on the battlefield and in the experience of listeners far-removed from theaters of war, each essay interrogating the Crimean War's sonic archive in order to address a broad set of issues in musicology, ethnomusicology, literary studies, the history of the senses and sound studies.

Download or read book Women Reviewing Women in Nineteenth Century Britain written by Joanne Wilkes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing particularly on the critical reception of Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë and George Eliot, Joanne Wilkes offers in-depth examinations of reviews by eight female critics: Maria Jane Jewsbury, Sara Coleridge, Hannah Lawrance, Jane Williams, Julia Kavanagh, Anne Mozley, Margaret Oliphant and Mary Augusta Ward. What they wrote about women writers, and what their writings tell us about the critics' own sense of themselves as women writers, reveal the distinctive character of nineteenth-century women's contributions to literary history. Wilkes explores the different choices these critics, writing when women had to grapple with limiting assumptions about female intellectual capacities, made about how to disseminate their own writing. While several publishing in periodicals wrote anonymously, others published books, articles and reviews under their own names. Wilkes teases out the distinctiveness of nineteenth-century women's often ignored contributions to the critical reception of canonical women authors, and also devotes space to the pioneering efforts of Lawrance, Kavanagh and Williams to draw attention to the long tradition of female literary activity up to the nineteenth century. She draws on commentary by male critics of the period as well, to provide context for this important contribution to the recuperation of women's critical discourse in nineteenth-century Britain.
Download or read book Say Little Do Much written by Sioban Nelson and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2010-11-24 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the nineteenth century, more than a third of American hospitals were established and run by women with religious vocations. In Say Little, Do Much, Sioban Nelson casts light on the work of these women's religious communities. According to Nelson, the popular view that nursing invented itself in the second half of the nineteenth century is historically inaccurate and dismissive of the major advances in the care of the sick as a serious and skilled activity, an activity that originated in seventeenth-century France with Vincent de Paul's Daughters of Charity. In this comparative, contextual, and critical work, Nelson demonstrates how modern nursing developed from the complex interplay of the Catholic emancipation in Britain and Ireland, the resurgence of the Irish Church, the Irish diaspora, and the mass migrations of the German, Italian, and Polish Catholic communities to the previously Protestant strongholds of North America and mainland Britain. In particular, Nelson follows the nursing Daughters of Charity through the French Revolution and the Second Empire, documenting the relationship that developed between the French nursing orders and the Irish Catholic Church during this period. This relationship, she argues, was to have major significance for the development of nursing in the English-speaking world.
Download or read book A Companion to Women s Military History written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military institutions have everywhere and always shaped the course of history, but women’s near universal participation in them has largely gone unnoticed. This volume addresses the changing relationships between women and armed forces from antiquity to the present. The eight chapters in Part I present broad, scholarly reviews of the existing literature to provide a clear understanding of where we stand. An extended picture essay documents visually women’s military work since the sixteenth century. The book’s second part comprises eight exemplary articles, more narrowly focused than the survey articles but illustrating some of their major themes. Military history will benefit from acknowledging women’s participation, as will women’s history from recognizing military institutions as major factors in molding women’s lives. Contributors include Jorit Wintjes, Mary Elizabeth Ailes, John A. Lynn, Barton C. Hacker, Kimberly Jensen, Margaret Vining, D’Ann M. Campbell, Carol B. Stevens, Jan Noel, Elizabeth Prelinger, Donna Alvah, Karen Hagemann, Yehudit Kol-Inbar, Dorotea Gucciardo and Megan Howatt, and Judith Hicks Stiehm.
