Book Synopsis Mistress of Udolpho by : Rictor Norton
Download or read book Mistress of Udolpho written by Rictor Norton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1999-05-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the biography of the Gothic novelist, Ann Radcliffe (1764-1823), author of "The Mysteries of Udolpho", the world's first "best seller". The text clarifies Radcliffe's emergence from a Dissenting Unitarian, rather than a conventional Anglican, background. This places Radcliffe within the circle of other women writers nurtured in radical Dissenting backgrounds (such as Wollstonecraft, Hays, Inchbauld and Barbauld). Radcliffe's childhood and family background are documented and the rumours of her madness and reclusiveness investigated leading to an evaluation of the resons for her probable mental breakdown. The text constitutes a "cultural history" of a writing woman, demonstrating her place within radical culture, literary tradition and aesthetic discourse, and examining her role in the rise of the professional woman writer. Her novels are analyzed mainly in the context of her biography and sources.
Book Synopsis The Collected Letters of Mary Blachford Tighe by : Harriet Kramer Linkin
Download or read book The Collected Letters of Mary Blachford Tighe written by Harriet Kramer Linkin and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This annotated edition provides a revelatory glimpse into the life and mind of Ireland’s premier Romantic-era woman poet, Mary Blachford Tighe (1772-1810), author of Psyche, Verses, and Selena. Although Tighe’s family burned most of her personal papers, 166 letters by and to her survived the flames, and are printed here for the first time. They offer rich insights into her thoughts and feelings about her writing, marriage, friendships, family, anxieties, aspirations, spirituality, politics, travels, and day-to-day activities, with beauty, poignance and wit. The letters written between 1786 and 1801 reveal stunning details about her complex relationship with her voyeuristic husband, about the years she spent in England developing her craft as a writer and acquiring her reputation as a much-admired beauty, and about the lived realities that ground the proto-feminist aesthetics of Psyche, the lyrics in Verses, and the narratives in Selena. The letters from 1802 through 1809 contain exceptional information about her reading habits and scholarly studies, resistance to publication, and friendships with other writers. The Collected Letters of Mary Blachford Tighe presents a rich archive of material that open up significant avenues for scholarship on Tighe: they document how actively she participated in her culture, shed autobiographical light on some of the least-known periods in her life, and illuminate her development as a poet and novelist.
Book Synopsis Remembering Thomas Chatterton by : Various
Download or read book Remembering Thomas Chatterton written by Various and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1763, an 11-year-old boy named Thomas Chatterton began publishing mature works of poetry. Before long, he was fooling the literary world by passing his work off as that of a non-existent 15th-century poet named Thomas Rowley—which he did until unmasked by Horace Walpole. Brought up in poverty and without a father, he studied furiously and went on to try and earn a living from his writing. After impressing the likes of the Lord Mayor, William Beckford and the radical leader John Wilkes, he eagerly looked for an outlet in London for his political works, but was unable to make a decent living and, despairing, poisoned himself at the age of seventeen. Chatterton had a significant impact on Romantic artists including Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley, and Keats; with numerous notable poems, plays, and paintings having been dedicated to him since his untimely demise. This new collection contains classic essays from various writers on Chatterton's life and work. Contents include: “Sonnet to Chatterton, by John Keats”, “Thomas Chatterton 1752–1770, A Biography from 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 6”, “Monody on the Death of Chatterton, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge”, “Thomas Chatterton, by Henry Francis Cary”, “Thomas Chatterton, by Mabel E. Wotton”, “Poem of Thomas Chatterton, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti”, “Cursory Observations on the Poems Attributed to Thomas Rowley, An Essay by Edmond Malone”, “Resolution and Independence, An Excerpt by William Wordsworth”, and “Thomas Chatterton, by William Charles Mark Kent”. Read & Co. Books is publishing this brand new collection of classic essays for the enjoyment of a new generation of readers.

Book Synopsis Nordic Terrors by : Robert William Rix
Download or read book Nordic Terrors written by Robert William Rix and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British literature, Scandinavia emerged as a setting for Gothic terror. This book explores the extensive use of Nordic superstition as it provided a vocabulary for Gothic texts, examining the cultural significance these references held for writers exploring Britain’s northern heritage. In Gothic publications, Nordic superstition sometimes parallels the representations of Catholicism, allowing writers to gloat at its phantasms and delusions. Thus, runic spells, incantations, and necromantic communications (of which Norse tradition afforded many examples) could replace practices usually assigned to Catholic superstition. Yet Nordic lore did more than merely supplant hackneyed Gothic formulas; it presented readers with an alternative conception of ‘Otherness’. Nordic texts—chiefly based on the Edda and the supernatural Scandinavian ballad tradition—were seen as pre-Christian beliefs of the Gothic (i.e., Germanic) peoples, including the Anglo-Saxons. The book traces the development of this Nordic Gothic, situating it within wider literary, historical, political, and cultural contexts.
