Download or read book The Commodity Culture of Victorian England written by Thomas Richards and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This provocative and theoretically sophisticated book reveals how capitalism produced and sustained a culture of its own in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. "Richards provides a valuable account of the interaction between cultural and business development in Victorian England by focusing on the evolution of advertising. Through an examination of five case studies, ranging from how advertisers employed images of the Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851 to their use of images of women just before WWI, he argues that the British developed a new type of culture in the mid and late-19th century--a new way of thinking and living increasingly based upon the possession of material goods, commodities. Revising the findings of some earlier scholars, Richards shows that 'cultural forms of consumerism . . . came into being well before the consumer economy did.' The 50 well-reproduced advertising images greatly enhance the value of this study." --M. Blackford, "Choice"

Download or read book Late Victorian Literary Collaboration written by Annachiara Cozzi and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2024-07-22 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting new contribution to the expanding but still largely uncharted territory of collaboration studies, Late Victorian Literary Collaboration is the first book-length study of the trend for collaborative writing that emerged in the last decades of the nineteenth century. As a result of the rapidly growing literary market, the years between 1870 and the turn of the century witnessed an unprecedented flow of collaboratively written novels. In the 1890s, co-authorship became a craze, with literary partnerships multiplying and fiction co-written by twenty and more authors appearing in the pages of popular magazines. By 1900, however, the trend had already reversed, and it quickly slipped into oblivion. Late Victorian Literary Collaboration investigates the factors that made the period so conducive to collaboration, tracing the reasons for its success and subsequent decline. Drawing on a vast range of original sources, the book discusses and compares different models of collaboration, from life-long, exclusive partnerships to one-time, widely-advertised collaborative ventures between best-selling novelists. It deals with authors such as Walter Besant, Somerville and Ross, Andrew Lang, H.R. Haggard and Rhoda Broughton, all favourites of the Victorian public but subsequently neglected and only recently reevaluated. By unpacking the debate that developed around co-authorship in the periodical press of the time, the book also sheds light on how collaborative authorship was imagined by the general public, and illustrates how the trend effectively – if temporarily – challenged Victorian assumptions about the author as a solitary genius.

Download or read book The Good Kipling written by Elliot L. Gilbert and published by [Athens] : Ohio University Press. This book was released on 1971 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the great problems of Kipling criticism is to find a way to discover and reveal this coherent voice of "the good Kipling," a way to explain, that is, how Kipling the brutal realist can simultaneously be Kipling the man of compassion, how Kipling the mournful nihilist can simultaneously be Kipling the winner of the Nobel Prize for his "idealistic tendency," how Kipling the romantic imperialist and believer can simultaneously be Kipling the late-Victorian doubter, how Kipling the political man can simultaneously be Kipling the artist. The obvious way to discover "the good Kipling," who differs from "the bad Kipling" not in the superiority of his ideas but in the superiority of the art embodying those ideas, in his superior ability to synthesize apparently disparate elements into a satisfying aesthetic experience, is, or course, through study of his works. - p. 9-10.
