Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by Violet Hunt was originally published in 1932 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Wife of Rossetti - Her Life and Death' is a biography of the life of Elizabeth Sidall. Isobel Violet Hunt was born on 28th September 1862 in Durham, England. Hunt covered several literary forms, including short stories, novels, memoirs, and biographies. Her first published work was her novel 'The Maiden's Progress' (1894) which fell into the New Woman genre and represented her ideals as an active feminist. These political views led to her founding the Women Writer's Suffrage League in 1908. Feminism however, was by no means her only subject matter, with works like 'Tales of the Uneasy' (1911) being a collection of supernatural fiction short stories. Although Hunt produced many works, her reputation is as much for the literary salons she held at her home in Campden Hill as it is for her writing. She would entertain guests such as Rebecca West, Ezra Pound, Joseph Conrad, D. H. Lawrence, and other important writers of the time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rebel against Victorian mores, Jane Ellen Harrison (1850-1928) became one of the first women to hold a research fellowship at Cambridge. A friend of such distinguished figures as Gilbert Murray and Francis Cornford, she was renowned for her public lectures on Greek art, for her books on Greekreligion and mythology, and for her unconventional and outspoken views.In her application of anthropology to classical studies, Harrison stirred up controversy amongst her academic colleagues, while, at the same time, influencing many writers, including Yeats, D. H. Lawrence, and Virginia Woolf. Driven by the conviction that the study of primitive Greek culture was anintensely practical enterprise, addressing the fundamental emotional needs of all people, she set her academic research in the broader context of human life. Her work on Greek religion is really a critique of all religion.Although she was a powerful role model for academic women and addressed issues which were central to the women's movement, when it came to women's rights, her own views were not always in keeping with those of her suffragist contemporaries. Harrison wrote not to champion any cause, but out of apassionate desire to share what she believed to be important and true. In so doing, she both opened up new possibilities for academic women and made a considerable contribution to classical studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eminent literary biographer and critic shows how poetry enriched the art of two representative English Romantic painters In Visionary and Dreamer, David Cecil evokes the century of the poet-painter, when painting drew much of its inspiration from imaginative literature. Samuel Palmer (1805–1881), an unworldly visionary, obscure in his lifetime but now a recognized master, and Edward Burne-Jones (1833–1898), the Pre-Raphaelite daydreamer, once revered as a great painter but later admired chiefly for his work in applied art, emerge as artists who turned to their own inner lives to interpret Shakespeare, Milton, and Keats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This correspondence between the leading art agent of the mid-Victorian period, known as "The Owl," and the family of his chief client, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, may be the most complete record of the artist-agent relationship. The letters also provide much new information about a leading artist-poet, the Pre-Raphaelite circle, and the leading London artists and writers beyond that circle, from Madox Brown to Swinburne. The then new role of artist's agent was defined in many respects by Charles Augustus Howell, flamboyant yet cultivated son of an English artist-wine merchant and an aristocratic Portuguese lady. Starting as an international man of mystery with some involvement in railways, Howell emerged in 1866 as Ruskin's secretary with a sideline as art salesman and interior decorator. During the 1870's he became the friend and business associate not only of D.G. Rossetti but also of Whistler, G.F. Watts, and Burne-Jones, Sandys, and other principal artists. His consummate salesmanship was most evident in the case of Rossetti, who refused to exhibit his works or even allow them to be seen unless the viewer was a certain buyer. Dubbed "Owl" by Burne-Jones, Howell was described by Whistler as "the wonderful man, the genius, the superb liar, the Gil-Blas, Robinson-Crusoe hero out of his proper time, the creature of top-boots and plumes." The letters from the Rossettis to Howell are published here for the first time, having been sold by Howell's estate to a family that subsequently sold them to the University of Texas. The whole correspondence--together with Professor Cline's introduction, notes, and index--"alters all existing catalogues and bibliographies and critical studies of D.G. Rossetti," says Stanley Weintraub, author of Whistler and Four Rossettis.

Download or read book Literature and Sensation written by Anthony Uhlmann and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train” (Oscar Wilde). Literature has always treated the sensational: crime, passion, violence, trauma, catastrophe. It has frequently caused, or been at the centre of scandal, censorship and moral outrage. But literature is also intricately connected with sensation in ways that are less well understood. It mediates between the sensory world, perception and cognition through rich modes of thought allied with perceptions and emotions and makes sense of profound questions that transcend the merely rational. And at its boundaries, literature engages with the uncanny realm in which knowledge, presentiment or feeling is prior to articulation in words. This book reviews the sensational dimension of literature according to themes that have too often been left to one side. Literary theory has often privileged perception over sensation, cognition over raw experience, in focusing on semantics rather than sense. The essays in this volume cover literature and sensation in all its facets, drawing upon a range of approaches from evolutionary theory, theories of mind, perception, philosophy and aesthetics. The works considered are drawn from various literary periods and genres, from the nineteenth century to contemporary prose and poetry, including experiments in new media. Literature and Sensation offers detailed and subtle readings of literature according to the sensations they represent, incite, or evoke in us, and will be of interest to readers of literary theory, ethics and aesthetics, and theorists of new media art.
