Download or read book The Lost Queen written by Anne M. Stott and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2020-03-30 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look at the tragically short life of the only daughter of Britain’s King George IV who won the heart of a nation. As the only child of the Prince Regent and Caroline of Brunswick, Princess Charlotte of Wales (1796-1817) was the heiress presumptive to the throne. Her parents’ marriage had already broken up by the time she was born. She had a difficult childhood and a turbulent adolescence, but she was popular with the public, who looked to her to restore the good name of the monarchy. When she broke off her engagement to a Dutch prince, her father put her under virtual imprisonment, and she endured a period of profound unhappiness. But she held out for the freedom to choose her husband, and when she married Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, she finally achieved contentment. Her happiness was cruelly cut short when she died in childbirth at the age of twenty-one, only eighteen months later. A shocked nation went into mourning for its “people’s princess,” the queen who never was. “This perspicacious study of Charlotte’s short life is superb. Anne Stott is an accomplished and highly readable biographer whose earlier subjects have included William Wilberforce and Hannah More. She wears her research lightly—which is not to say that the book is anything less than scholastic (quite the opposite). Highly recommended.” —Naomi Clifford, author of The Murder of Mary Ashford

Download or read book Lacework or Mirror Diary Poetics of Frances Burney Dorothy Wordsworth and Mary Shelley written by Magdalena Ożarska and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-08 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lacework or Mirror? Diary Poetics of Frances Burney, Dorothy Wordsworth and Mary Shelley sets out to determine whether each of the diaries by three female writers – namely, Frances Burney, Dorothy Wordsworth, and Mary Shelley – approximates the Philippe-Lejeunean concept of the diary as lacework or the more sweeping view, typical of the broadly conceived autobiography, which Georges Gusdorf famously likened to the mirror. The author explores Burney’s, Wordsworth’s and Shelley’s attempts at concealing the gaps between their narrating and narrated ‘I’s, as well as examining their diary lacunae, especially helpful for illustrating the gradual emergence of the diarists’ individual selves. Broader issues, connected with diary poetics, such as the use of metaphors and symbols, the degree of reliance on dialogue and ensuing narrativity, down to handling the past by means of anachronous eccentricities, are also subject to examination. The study is based on the assumption that the journal is a literary genre, which can be investigated with tools routinely used for the examination of literary texts. Yet, beyond the issues of literariness, in accordance with Philippe Lejeune’s dictum, the three journals reveal the writers’ diaristic practices. In fact, it seems that issues of the journal genre and the journal practice cannot be divorced, and neither can their lacework and mirror aspects.

Download or read book Travels through France and Italy written by T. Smollett and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Travels Through France and Italy' is a travelog by Tobias Smollet chronicling his journey across France and Italy after the tragic loss of his daughter. Smollett's keen observation, wit, and critical eye make for an entertaining read, as he describes in detail the natural phenomena, history, social life, economics, diet, and morals of the places he visited. His lively curiosity and quick eye enable him to foresee the potential of Cannes as a health resort and the possibilities of the Corniche road. However, Smollett's acerbic style often leads to quarrels with innkeepers, postilions, fellow travelers, and even entire cultures, as he holds many foreigners in contempt and derides many French and Italian customs. A classic work of travel literature, Smollett's 'Travels Through France and Italy' provides a fascinating glimpse into the past and a rich account of his adventures.
Download or read book The Visual Life of Romantic Theater 1780 1830 written by Diane Piccitto and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2023-05-24 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Visual Life of Romantic Theater examines the dynamism and vibrancy of stage spectacle and its impact in an era of momentous social upheaval and aesthetic change. Situating theatrical production as key to understanding visuality ca. 1780-1830, this book places the stage front and center in Romantic scholarship by re-envisioning traditional approaches to artistic and social creation in the period. How, it asks, did dramaturgy and stagecraft influence aesthetic and sociopolitical concerns? How does a focus on visuality expand our understanding of the historical experience of theatergoing? In what ways did stage performance converge with visual culture beyond the theater? How did extratheatrical genres engage with theatrical sight and spectacle? Finally, how does a focus on dramatic vision change the way we conceive of Romanticism itself? The volume’s essays by emerging and established scholars provide exciting and suggestive answers to these questions, along with a more capacious conception of Romantic theater as a locus of visual culture that reached well beyond playhouse walls.
