Download or read book Nineteenth Century Literature in Transition The 1830s written by John Gardner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This instalment in the Nineteenth-Century Literature in Transition series concerns a decade that was as technologically transitional as it was eventful on a global scale. It collects work from a group of internationally renowned scholars across disciplinary boundaries in order to engage with the wide array of cultural developments that defined the 1830s. Often overlooked as a boundary between the Romantic and Victorian periods, this decade was, the book proposes, the central pivot of the nineteenth century. Far from a time of peaceful reform, it was marked by violent colonial expansion, political resistance, and revolutionary technologies such as the photograph, the expansion of steam power, and the railway that changed the world irreversibly. Contributors explore a flurry of cultural forms to take the pulse of the decade, from Silver Fork fiction to lithography, from working-class periodicals to photographs, and from urban sketches to magazine fiction.

Download or read book Black Abolitionists in Ireland written by Christine Kinealy and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the narratives explored in volume one, this publication recovers the story of a further seven Black visitors to Ireland in the decades prior to the American Civil War. This volume examines each of these seven activists and artists, and how their unique and diverse talents contributed to the movement to abolish enslavement and to the demand for Black equality. In an era that witnessed the rise of minstrelsy, they provided a powerful counter argument to the lie of Black inferiority. Moreover, their interactions with Irish abolitionists helped to build a strong transatlantic movement that had a global reach and impact. The lives explored are: Ira Aldridge (the African Roscius), William Henry Lane (Master Juba), William P. Powell, Elizabeth Greenfield (the Black Swan), Reuben Nixon, James Watkins and William H. Day. Individually and collectively they demonstrated the agency and power of Black involvement in the search for social justice. This book will be of value to students and scholars alike interested in modern European history and social and cultural history.

Download or read book Sinful Tunes and Spirituals written by Dena J. Epstein and published by Urbana : University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1977 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "'The songs of a slave are word-pictures of every thing he sees, or hears, or feels.'--John Dixon Long, a Philadelphia clergyman, 1857. The cacophony of clanking chains intruded upon the euphony of human song during the "Middle Passage" when--at the behest of ships' officers--slaves being transported to the Americas caused the overcrowded ships to echo with the sounds of dancing feet and harmonious voices. That scene is one of the first which Dena J. Epstein skillfully re-creates in her monumental work on the development and emergence of black folk music in the United States. From the plaintive tones of woe emanating from exiled kings and queens of Africa to the spirited worksongs and 'shouts' of freedmen, Epstein traces the course of early black folk music in all its guises. Her meticulous twenty-year search of diaries, letters, travel accounts, slave narratives, reports by plantation owners and ship captains, and other documents has uncovered a wealth of information on what Frederick Douglass called the 'tones loud, long and deep ... the prayer and complaints of souls boiling over with the bitterest anguish.' Epstein demonstrates that secular music--the music which evangelists denounced as 'sinful'--flourished among the exiled Africans to a much greater degree than has been recognized. 'Sinful tunes' and spirituals both were familiar to antebellum blacks. The author discusses the breakup of the closed plantation society which had isolated the slaves, and the introduction of the freedmen to the public at large via Slave Songs of the United States (1867), the first published collection of black music. The fascinating genesis of that seminal work is thoroughly covered, as is hitherto unknown information on the acculturation of African music in the New World, musical style, worksongs, religious music, and the Port Royal experiment (a wartime attempt to demonstrate that blacks could manage their own affairs). Epstein's research proves what many have long suspected: dancing and singing could--and did--coexist with forced labor and bitter suffering, providing slaves with the psychological escape that helped them to survive and to retain much of their cultural heritage."--Dust jacket.
