Book excerpt: The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

With stars surrounded, and with circuit wide Night's torch extending, thro' the heav'ns you ride: Female and Male with borrow'd rays you shine, 5 And now full-orb'd, now tending to decline: Mother of ages, fruit-producing Moon, - Whose amber orb makes Night's reflected noon: at one time by a divine afflatus, at another time by energising intellectually, and generating the image* of internal spectacle* moving in a discursive procession. ' For as the demiurgic intellect represents about matter the significations of primary forms comprehended in its essence; temporal signatures of things eternal; divisible representatives of things in divifible, and produces as it were shadowy resemblances of true beings: after the fame manner I think the science we possess, framing an intellectual action, fabricates by discourse both the resemblances of other things, and of the Gods themselves. So that it sJhions by composition, that which in the Gods is void of composition: thatwhichisfimplebyvaricty; and that which is united by multitude. And by this formation of names it demonstrates in the last place the images of divine concerns. And as the theurgic art provokes by certain signs, supernal illumination into artificial statutes, and allures the unenvying goodness of the Gods; in the fame manner the intellectual science of divine concerns, signifies the occult essence of the God by the compositions and divisions of sounds.

Book excerpt: This collection of hymns by Orpheus also includes a biography of the great poet by the celebrated translator and scholar of antiquity, Thomas Taylor. Termed by Pindar to be "the father of songs", Orpheus is a legendary figure of ancient Greece, responsible for gifting the arts of music and singing to humanity. Renowned for his charm, Orpheus was said to be able to cast his allure upon any living thing with his exquisite voice and playing of the lyre. His existence in distant antiquity was a matter of debate among ancient Greek scholars; many - such as Aristotle - considered him to be purely a legend, while others asserted that Orpheus was based on real, living poets of yore. As noted in the introductory biography, Orpheus was also renowned as a prophet and seer, being the originator of Orphism. The journey Orpheus made to the underworld, and his contributions to the mythos and mysteries of the Greek Gods, are explained in detail. With this religious context as grounding, Taylor proceeds to the hymns of Orpheus, many of whom allude to the mysticism and supernatural events iconic of classical mythology.

Download or read book The Art of Political Fiction in Hamilton Edgeworth and Owenson written by Susan B. Egenolf and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even as Romantic-period authors asserted the importance of telling the unvarnished truth, novelists were deploying narrative glossing in particularly sophisticated forms. The author examines the artistic craft and political engagement of three major women novelists-Elizabeth Hamilton, Maria Edgeworth, and Sydney Owenson-whose self-conscious use of glosses facilitated their critiques of politics and society. All three writers employed devices such as prefaces and editorial notes, as well as alternative media, especially painting and drama, to comment on the narrative. The effect of these disparate media, the author argues, is to call the reader's attention away from the narrative itself. That is, such glossing or 'varnishing' creates narrative ruptures that offer the reader a glimpse of the process of fictional structuring and often reveal the novel's indebtedness to a particular historical moment. In spite, or perhaps because, of their being gendered feminine in eighteenth-century rhetorical commentary, therefore, these glosses allow women writers to participate in 'masculine' discussions outside the conventional domestic sphere. Informed by a wide range of archival texts and examples from the visual arts, and highlighting the 1798 Irish Rebellion as a major event in Irish and British Romantic writing, the author's study offers a new interdisciplinary reading of gendered and political responses to key events in the history of Romanticism.
