Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nineteenth Century and After, Vol. 54: A Monthly Review; July-December, 1903 Any such change is obviously open to the charge that it necessitates the abandonment of free trade as the one dominant principle of our industrial policy, and it is, to say the least, liable to the further charge that it can only be carried into practice by imposing fresh duties upon the importation of corn. It is manifest that these are the two charges upon which the Liberals hope to secure the support of the workin g-class electorate, and thereby to bring about the downfall of the Unionist party and their own return to power. The first of these charges is based on an appeal to the working classes in favour of the maintenance of free trade, as being the charter of their welfare in the future as it has been in the past. The second charge is founded on the assumptions that any system of preferential duties, such as that suggested by Mr. Chamberlain as essential to the consolidation of the Empire, must of necessity increase the cost of living, and that this increase must inevitably fall on the shoulders of the masses.

Download or read book Archives of Instruction written by Jean Ferguson Carr and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2005-02-21 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both a historical recovery and a critical rethinking of the functions and practices of textbooks, Archives of Instruction: Nineteenth-Century Rhetorics, Readers, and Composition Books in the United States argues for an alternative understanding of our rhetorical traditions. The authors describe how the pervasive influence of nineteenth-century literacy textbooks demonstrate the early emergence of substantive instruction in reading and writing. Tracing the histories of widespread educational practices, the authors treat the textbooks as an important means of cultural formation that restores a sense of their distinguished and unique contributions. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, few people in the United States had access to significant school education or to the materials of instruction. By century’s end, education was a mass—though not universal—experience, and literacy textbooks were ubiquitous artifacts, used both in home and in school by a growing number of learners from diverse backgrounds. Many of the books have been forgotten, their contributions slighted or dismissed, or they are remembered through a haze of nostalgia as tokens of an idyllic form of schooling. Archives of Instruction suggests strategies for re-reading the texts and details the watersheds in the genre, providing a new perspective on the material conditions of schooling, book publication, and emerging practices of literacy instruction. The volume includes a substantial bibliography of primary and secondary works related to literacy instruction at all levels of education in the United States during the nineteenth century.

Download or read book Gilded Prostitution written by Maureen E. Montgomery and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the marriages of British peers to American women within the context of the opening up of London and New York society and the growing competitiveness for high social status. In London, American women were often blamed for the growing hedonism and materialism of smart society and for poaching in the marriage market. They were invariably described as frivolous, vain and calculating – a description which points to the simmering anti-American sentiment in Britain. It was even suggested that titled Americans were having a detrimental effect on the British peerage because of their failure to produce male heirs. A brilliant analysis of the reasons why American women were viewed pejoratively not only in terms of anti-American feeling and the social transformation of the British upper class, but also the threat of women who did not appear to conform to aristocratic notions of a peeress’s duties as a wife and mother. Originally published in 1989, this book has unique appendices listing details of peer marriages in this 1870-1914 period.
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook to Nineteenth Century British Periodicals and Newspapers written by Andrew King and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2017 winner of the Robert and Vineta Colby Scholarly Book Prize Providing a comprehensive, interdisciplinary examination of scholarship on nineteenth-century British periodicals, this volume surveys the current state of research and offers researchers an in-depth examination of contemporary methodologies. The impact of digital media and archives on the field informs all discussions of the print archive. Contributors illustrate their arguments with examples and contextualize their topics within broader areas of study, while also reflecting on how the study of periodicals may evolve in the future. The Handbook will serve as a valuable resource for scholars and students of nineteenth-century culture who are interested in issues of cultural formation, transformation, and transmission in a developing industrial and globalizing age, as well as those whose research focuses on the bibliographical and the micro case study. In addition to rendering a comprehensive review and critique of current research on nineteenth-century British periodicals, the Handbook suggests new avenues for research in the twenty-first century. "This volume's 30 chapters deal with practically every aspect of periodical research and with the specific topics and audiences the 19th-century periodical press addressed. It also covers matters such as digitization that did not exist or were in early development a generation ago. In addition to the essays, readers will find 50 illustrations, 54 pages of bibliography, and a chronology of the periodical press. This book gives seemingly endless insights into the ways periodicals and newspapers influenced and reflected 19th-century culture. It not only makes readers aware of problems involved in interpreting the history of the press but also offers suggestions for ways of untangling them and points the direction for future research. It will be a valuable resource for readers with interests in almost any aspect of 19th-century Britain. Summing Up: Highly recommended" - J. D. Vann, University of North Texas in CHOICE

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nineteenth Century and After, Vol. 69: A Monthly Review; January-June 1911 The assumption that a Government returned to very precarious power on a dozen different issues is competent to undertake off hand great organic constitutional changes is too preposterous to be entertained. Yet the Government claim not only to have received a mandate from the constituencies to proceed with the Parliament Bill, but that the passage of the Bill through both Houses is absolutely certain. The Parliament Bill is, as a docu ment, quite unique. It consists of two portions, one of which is left blank to be perhaps filled in later. It lays down rules, regula tions, functions, and limits for something which does not exist, but which may be called into existence at some future date.

Download or read book Benjamin Kidd written by David Paul Crook and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1984-07-05 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an intellectual biography of Benjamin Kidd, a leading Social Darwinist in the years before World War I, and a social prophet in the tradition of Comte and Spencer. His first book Social Evolution, published in 1894, was an immediate and enormous success around the world. In it, Kidd developed a collectivist form of Social Darwinism in tune with the values of Progressivism in America and the 'new liberalism' in Britain. By many it was regarded as the basis for a properly scientific sociology, and the combination of its claims to scientific methodology, with an emphasis on non-rational forces as the agents of progress accurately caught the temper of its times. Launched on his career as a writer, Kidd's subsequent books and journalism continued to exercise extraordinary influence. His 'social imperialism', linking a bio-political defence of empire with a programme of social reform, won currency in the Anglo-American world at a time of expansionary fervour.
