Download or read book Women Writers and Old Age in Great Britain 1750 1850 written by Devoney Looser and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2008-09-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking study explores the later lives and late-life writings of more than two dozen British women authors active during the long eighteenth century. Drawing on biographical materials, literary texts, and reception histories, Devoney Looser finds that far from fading into moribund old age, female literary greats such as Anna Letitia Barbauld, Frances Burney, Maria Edgeworth, Catharine Macaulay, Hester Lynch Piozzi, and Jane Porter toiled for decades after they achieved acclaim—despite seemingly concerted attempts by literary gatekeepers to marginalize their later contributions. Though these remarkable women wrote and published well into old age, Looser sees in their late careers the necessity of choosing among several different paths. These included receding into the background as authors of “classics,” adapting to grandmotherly standards of behavior, attempting to reshape masculinized conceptions of aged wisdom, or trying to create entirely new categories for older women writers. In assessing how these writers affected and were affected by the culture in which they lived, and in examining their varied reactions to the prospect of aging, Looser constructs careful portraits of each of her subjects and explains why many turned toward retrospection in their later works. In illuminating the powerful and often poorly recognized legacy of the British women writers who spurred a marketplace revolution in their earlier years only to find unanticipated barriers to acceptance in later life, Looser opens up new scholarly territory in the burgeoning field of feminist age studies.
Download or read book The Legacy of the Grand Tour written by Lisa Colletta and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-12-09 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topos of the journey is one of the oldest in literature, and even in this age of packaged tours and mediated experience, it still remains one of the most compelling. This volume examines the ways in which the legacy of the Grand Tour is still evident in works of travel and literature. From its aristocratic origins and the permutations of sentimental and romantic travel to the age of tourism and globalization, the Grand Tour still influences the destinations tourists choose and shapes the ideas of culture and sophistication that surround the act of travel. The essays in this collection examine a wide variety of literature—travel, memoir, and fiction—and explore the ways travel and ideas of “culture” have evolved since the heyday of the Grand Tour in the 18th century. The sites of the Grand Tour remain a powerful cultural draw, and they continue to define ideas of taste and learning for those who visit them.

Download or read book Autobiography of Miss Cornelia Knight Lady Companion to the Princess Charlotte of Wales Volume 2 of 2 written by Ellis Cornelia Knight and published by Echo Library. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ellis Cornelia Knight (1757-1837) was an English gentlewoman, traveller, landscape artist and writer of novels, verse, journals and history. She had the acquaintance of many prominent figures in her lifetime from members of the circle of Samuel Johnson and Sir Joshua Reynolds in her girlhood, Nelson and Lady Emma Hamilton during her Italian sojourn, and members of the British Royal Family during her service to Queen Charlotte and Princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales. She corresponded with or met many other writers including Fanny Burney, Madame de Stael and Lady Charlotte Bury. Her reputation as a learned author and highly respectable character earned her an invitation to join the household of Queen Charlotte in 1805 and in 1812 she became companion to Princess Charlotte, only daughter of the Prince Regent (later George IV), holding this post until the Regent fired her in 1814 for imagined lapses of judgment. At her death she left behind an incomplete autobiography and a journal which were invaluable sources of information on the court history of those days. These were edited and published posthumously in two volumes in 1861. Volume 2 of 2.

Download or read book Samuel Johnson and the Culture of Property written by Kevin Hart and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1999-09-28 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kevin Hart traces the vast literary legacy and reputation of Samuel Johnson. Through detailed analyses of the biographers, critics and epigones who carefully crafted and preserved Johnson's life for posterity, Hart explores the emergence of what came to be called 'The Age of Johnson'. Hart shows how late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Britain experienced the emergence and consolidation of a rich and diverse culture of property. In dedicating himself to Johnson's death, Hart argues, James Boswell turned his friend into a monument, a piece of public property. Through subtle analyses of copyright, forgery and heritage in eighteenth-century life, this study traces the emergence of competing forms of cultural property: a Hanoverian politics of property engages a Jacobite politics of land. Kevin Hart places Samuel Johnson within this rich cultural context, demonstrating how Johnson came to occupy a place at the heart of the English literary canon.
