Download or read book Protestant Communalism in the Trans Atlantic World 1650 1850 written by Philip Lockley and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the trans-Atlantic history of Protestant traditions of communalism – communities of shared property. The sixteenth-century Reformation may have destroyed monasticism in northern Europe, but Protestant Christianity has not always denied common property. Between 1650 and 1850, a range of Protestant groups adopted communal goods, frequently after crossing the Atlantic to North America: the Ephrata community, the Shakers, the Harmony Society, the Community of True Inspiration, and others. Early Mormonism also developed with a communal dimension, challenging its surrounding Protestant culture of individualism and the free market. In a series of focussed and survey studies, this book recovers the trans-Atlantic networks and narratives, ideas and influences, which shaped Protestant communalism across two centuries of early modernity.

Download or read book The Useful Knowledge of William Hutton written by Susan E. Whyman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Useful Knowledge of William Hutton shows the rapid rise of a self-taught workman and the growing prominence of the city of Birmingham during the two major events of the eighteenth-century - the Industrial Revolution and the Enlightenment. Hutton achieved wealth, land, status, and literary fame, but later became a victim of violent riots. The book boldly claims that an understanding of the Industrial Revolution requires engagement with the figure of the 'rough diamond', a person of worth and character, but lacking in manners, education, and refinement. A cast of unpolished entrepreneurs is brought to life as they drive economic and social change, and improve their towns and themselves. The book also contends that the rise of Birmingham cannot be understood without accepting that its vibrant cultural life was a crucial factor that spurred economic growth. Readers are plunged into a hidden provincial world marked by literacy, bookshops, printing, authorship, and the spread of useful knowledge. We see that ordinary people read history and wrote poetry, whilst they grappled with the effects of industrial change. Newly discovered memoirs reveal social conflict and relationships in rare detail. They also address the problems of social mobility, income inequality, and breath-taking technological change that continue to perplex us today.

Download or read book Goldsmith as Journalist written by Richard C. Taylor and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Indeed, the journalistic achievements of Oliver Goldsmith invite a reconsideration of the man doomed for so many years to play "Doctor Minor" to Johnson's "Doctor Major." Long before he established a reputation as the author of The Vicar of Wakefield, She Stoops to Conquer, and The Deserted Village, Goldsmith was establishing his unique journalistic voice - a voice incredibly diverse, if also frequently self-contradictory. There is no doubt that Goldsmith was something of a controversial figure - working for both of London's monthly book review journals while they were engaged in an ongoing, venomous, and well-publicized dispute. But it is important to remember that he was respected, too. He did serve, after all, as principal contributor to several of London's most successful newspapers and magazine miscellanies. In this capacity, his career intersected with the careers of Arthur Murphy, John Newbery, David Hume, Thomas Gray, Edmund Burke, and the most prominent booksellers, authors, and editors of the period." "As interest in eighteenth-century English journalism continues to accelerate, the critical reputation of Oliver Goldsmith which has been dwindling for years may receive an important boost. Scholars now have a wealth of primary and critical material from which to construct a contextual framework for understanding literary, social, and political developments in eighteenth-century England. Perhaps this wealth of information will lead them to reassess the man who not only exemplified, but also consistently commented on, the state of the press in "High Georgian" England."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Unearthing the Past to Forge the Future written by Tobias Wolffhardt and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2017-10-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For much of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the British East India Company consolidated its rule over India, evolving from a trading venture to a colonial administrative force. Yet its territorial gains far outpaced its understanding of the region and the people who lived there, and its desperate efforts to gain knowledge of the area led to the 1815 appointment of army officer Colin Mackenzie as the first Surveyor General of India. This volume carefully reconstructs the life and career of Mackenzie, showing how the massive survey of India that he undertook became one of the most spectacular and wide-ranging knowledge production initiatives in British colonial history.
