Excerpt from book: 02 On the Extinction of Christianity in Japan. pagodas, and signed an attestation of their orthodoxy with their blood. Christianity was extinct; and Itiullia and the Kami remained trinmphant throughout the whole empire of Japan. With respect to the renegades from Christianity, Government kept a correct list of them and their dwellings, and they incessantly watched their movements; and it was confidently believed by the most intelligent of the Japanese that one day or another it would cut them all off at a moment's warning, and thus remove every trace of heresy from the empire. Perhaps our readers would he gratified by learning how much knowledge the people of Japan had acquired of Christianity when they consented to suffer so much for its sake. We dare say they suppose the Catholic priests had laboured to enlighten their minds, and at the same time to improve their morals, and enlarge their sympathies. Previous to the coming of the Europeans, these Japenese barbarians, it is imagined, could have had no books, no arts, no civilization. Together with their religious dogmas the Portuguese would therefore have introduced learning and refinement into those remote isles, and have proved to be at once the religious and political saviours of that vast country. These views of the matter, however, are quite erroneous; for it is very questionable whether the Catholic missionaries were so well informed as the people they attempted to convert; and as to the knowledge of Christianity they communicated to their catechumens, it amounted, says the Dutch narrator, merely to these few points: ?that there is but one God, and one religion; and that the professors of all other creeds are to be eternally damned. Hell they painted in horrors inexpressible: heaven with equal joys. This was all th...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Oriental Herald and Colonial Review, Vol. 2: May to August, 1824 The time is fast approaching, when the dominion of the East India Company will he at an end. The intelligence of the age is already suflieiently advanced in the knowledge of political eco nom y, to be satisfied that exclusive monopolies, whether of trade or government, are contrary to the interests of the many, and ought not to be endured. 'before the expiration of their charter, an equal advance in the knowledge of legislation and government, will con Vince thousands, to whom the maxim seems now but as a vague and ill understood paradox of what is contemptuously called mere theory, that the good of that many is the only legitimate end of all governments, and that none should thenceforth be tolerated upon the earth, which does not make the greatest happiness of the greatest number its constant rule of action.

Download or read book Authorship Activism and Celebrity written by Sandra Mayer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since long before the age of celebrity activism, literary authors have used their public profiles and cultural capital to draw attention to a wide range of socio-political concerns. This book is the first to explore – through history, criticism and creative interventions – the relationship between authorship, political activism and celebrity culture across historical periods, cultures, literatures and media. It brings together scholars, industry stakeholders and prominent writer-activists to engage in a conversation on literary fame and public authority. These scholarly essays, interviews, conversations and opinion pieces interrogate the topos of the artist as prophet and acute critic of the zeitgeist; analyse the ideological dimension of literary celebrity; and highlight the fault lines between public and private authorial selves, 'pure' art, political commitment and marketplace imperatives. In case studies ranging from the 18th century to present-day controversies, authors illuminate the complex relationship between literature, politics, celebrity culture and market activism, bringing together vivid current debates on the function and responsibility of literature in increasingly fractured societies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates Rammohun Roy as a transnational celebrity. It examines the role of religious heterodoxy - particularly Christian Unitarianism - in transforming a colonial outsider into an imagined member of the emerging Victorian social order It uses his fame to shed fresh light on nineteenth-century British reformers, including advocates of liberty of the press, early feminists, free trade imperialists, and constitutional reformers such as Jeremy Bentham. Rammohun Roy's intellectual agendas are also interrogated, particularly how he employed Unitarianism and the British satiric tradition to undermine colonial rule in Bengal and provincialize England as a laggard nation in the progress towards rational religion and political liberty.
