Download or read book Family Likeness written by Mary Jean Corbett and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In nineteenth-century England, marriage between first cousins was both legally permitted and perfectly acceptable. After mid-century, laws did not explicitly penalize sexual relationships between parents and children, between siblings, or between grandparents and grandchildren. But for a widower to marry his deceased wife's sister was illegal on the grounds that it constituted incest. That these laws and the mores they reflect strike us today as wrongheaded indicates how much ideas about kinship, marriage, and incest have changed. In Family Likeness, Mary Jean Corbett shows how the domestic fiction of novelists including Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Virginia Woolf reflected the shifting boundaries of "family" and even helped refine those borders. Corbett takes up historically contingent and culturally variable notions of who is and is not a relative and whom one can and cannot marry. Her argument is informed by legal and political debates; texts in sociology and anthropology; and discussions on the biology of heredity, breeding, and eugenics. In Corbett's view, marriage within families—between cousins, in-laws, or adoptees—offered Victorian women, both real and fictional, an attractive alternative to romance with a stranger, not least because it allowed them to maintain and strengthen relations with other women within the family.

Download or read book The Corbett Family Compendium written by Michael T. Tracy and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The family surname of Corbett dates back to Andrew Corbett of Aghaloo Parish, County Tyrone in present day Northern Ireland. There are several recorded spellings of the surname including Corbett, Corbet, Corbitt, Carbet, Corbert and Corburt. This Anglo Scottish surname is of Norman-French origins and is derived from the French word "corbet," translated as "Little raven." The current branch of the surname dates to John Andrew Corbett (1812-1880) who left County Tyrone and traveled to Upper Canada in 1831-32. He would later marry Jane Mays and they would have a family of nine children. The family relocated to Garafraxa Township in Wellington County, Ontario. This is the most complete and comprehensive book written to date on this family. Over 40 years of information was researched and now assembled on this family covering 9 generations spanning over two-hundred years. This work included biographies and photographs of Corbett forebears as well as encompassing the present day living descendants. These are the records of our ancestors and it is to their memories that this work is dedicated for all time.

Download or read book Americans in British Literature 1770 1832 written by Christopher Flynn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American independence was inevitable by 1780, but British writers spent the several decades following the American Revolution transforming their former colonists into something other than estranged British subjects. Christopher Flynn's engaging and timely book systematically examines for the first time the ways in which British writers depicted America and Americans in the decades immediately following the revolutionary war. Flynn documents the evolution of what he regards as an essentially anthropological, if also in some ways familial, interest in the former colonies and their citizens on the part of British writers. Whether Americans are idealized as the embodiments of sincerity and virtue or anathematized as intolerable and ungrateful louts, Flynn argues that the intervals between the acts of observing and writing, and between writing and reading, have the effect of distancing Britain and America temporally as well as geographically. Flynn examines a range of canonical and noncanonical works-sentimental novels of the 1780s and 1790s, prose and poetry by Wollstonecraft, Blake, Coleridge, and Wordsworth; and novels and travel accounts by Smollett, Lennox, Frances Trollope, and Basil Hall. Together, they offer a complex and revealing portrait of Americans as a breed apart, which still resonates today.

Download or read book Emma Corbett written by Samuel Jackson Pratt and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2011-12-30 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set both in England and in America, Emma Corbett is the moving story of a family torn apart by the American revolutionary war. Edward Corbett and Henry Hammond are brought up together and go on to marry each other’s sisters, but fight on opposite sides in the war. Emma Corbett, Edward’s sister, follows Henry to Pennsylvania. Disguised as a man, she fights for the British before finding Henry and saving his life, but the war and its aftermath have tragic consequences for all four young people. This powerful epistolary novel was a transatlantic best-seller, in part because both sides of the conflict are fully represented—as are the miseries and terrible costs of war. Appendices include contemporary reviews as well as contemporary writings on heroism, sensibility, and women and war. A series of personal letters between Pratt (writing as Courtney Melmoth) and Benjamin Franklin, for whom he worked in France, are also included.
