Download or read book The Pilgrim Edition of the Letters of Charles Dickens: Volume 6: 1850-1852 written by Charles Dickens and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1965 with total page 946 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents 1,592 letters, 668 of them previously unpublished, for the years 1850 to 1852. This was a time of great activity for Dickens, who completed the serial publication of David Copperfield, began work on Bleak House, successfully established the weekly Household Words (in which his own serial A Child's History of England appeared), and wrote about 100 articles and stories for the journal, including many uncollected pieces. In April 1851 he and Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton founded the Guild of Literature and Art, a scheme to help writers and artists. He also suffered a number of personal blows: the deaths of his father, his baby daughter Dora, and two of his close friends, Richard Watson and Alfred D'Orsay; there was also anxiety over the illness of his wife Catherine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Works of Charles and Mary Lamb is a seminal collection that spans the full breadth and depth of these sibling authors' literary careers, encompassing essays, letters, poetry, and children's literature. This anthology showcases the remarkable diversity of their contributions to English literature, highlighting their ability to blend wit, sentiment, and a deep humanism across a variety of styles. The inclusion of Charles Lamb's 'Essays of Elia' and the collaborative effort on 'Tales from Shakespeare' stand out as pivotal works that underscore the siblings' literary versatility and creative harmony. The Lambs were integral figures in the Romantic and early Victorian literary scenes, their works reflecting the intellectual and cultural currents of the time. This collection draws from the rich tapestry of the period, providing insight into the shifts in literary taste and the evolution of the essay and children's literature. Their friendship with key literary figures, including Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Hazlitt, placed them at the heart of a dynamic literary community, influencing and enriching their work. This anthology is an invitation to explore the depth and diversity of Charles and Mary Lamb's contributions to English literature. It offers readers a unique lens through which to understand the historical and cultural context of early 19th-century Britain, making it an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and anyone with an interest in the evolution of literary forms and themes. The collection serves not only as a testament to the talents of the Lambs but also as an engaging entry point into the wider conversations and literary movements of their time.

Book excerpt: The summer of 1830 stirred revolutionary desires in young hearts across Europe. More than a generation of war and political instability had failed to dampen the fervor still felt from the French Revolution. In England the Cambridge Apostles took up the cause of the Spanish émigrés so movingly visible in London where they had sought refuge from the tyranny of Ferdinand VII and his suppression of constitutional rights. The Spanish Expedition of the Cambridge Apostles has always captured our imaginations. Its blend of idealism and daring, of theory and practice, of thought and energy, seems perfectly to fulfill the principles the Apostles steadfastly espoused, a combination of faith and works. The episodes comprised in most accounts of the expedition are symbolic and filled with intrigue: secret meetings, assumed names, hidden messages, contraband, narrow escapes from the authorities, treachery, and finally a bloody execution on the beach at Málaga. A host of newly-discovered documents now enable us to re-examine one of the most intriguing events in British intellectual history.

Download or read book Comic Acting and Portraiture in Late-Georgian and Regency England written by Jim Davis and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-08 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The popularity of the comic performers of late-Georgian and Regency England and their frequent depiction in portraits, caricatures and prints is beyond dispute, yet until now little has been written on the subject. In this unique study Jim Davis considers the representation of English low comic actors, such as Joseph Munden, John Liston, Charles Mathews and John Emery, in the visual arts of the period, the ways in which such representations became part of the visual culture of their time, and the impact of visual representation and art theory on prose descriptions of comic actors. Davis reveals how many of the actors discussed also exhibited or collected paintings and used painterly techniques to evoke the world around them. Drawing particularly on the influence of Hogarth and Wilkie, he goes on to examine portraiture as critique and what the actors themselves represented in terms of notions of national and regional identity.

Download or read book Records of a Girlhood written by Frances Anne Kemble and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-10-01 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Submitted for the approval of her curious and loving public, Records of a Girlhood (1878) is actress Frances Kemble's attempt to tell her own story. A member of the theatrical Kemble family and the subject of much of the era's celebrity tattle, she jokingly concluded that she would rather gossip about herself than have others do it for her. Based on her personal letters of 40 years, this charming work recounts for Kemble's fans what she hopes will be an entertaining, if not, poignant life of an independent woman making her way in the Victorian era.British author FRANCES ANNE KEMBLE (1809-1893) was an outspoken abolitionist and later in life became an inspiration to author Henry James. Her most popular books are Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation (1863) and Records of Later Life (1882).

Download or read book The Censorship of Eighteenth-Century Theatre written by David O'Shaughnessy and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-17 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection reveals the wide-ranging impact of the Stage Licensing Act of 1737 on literary and theatrical culture in Georgian Britain. Demonstrating the differing motivations of the state in censoring public performances of plays after the Stage Licensing Act of 1737 and until the Theatres Act 1843, chapters cover a wide variety of theatrical genres across a century and show how the mechanisms of formal censorship operated under the Lord Chamberlain's Examiner of Plays. They also explore the effects of informal censorship, whereby playwrights, audiences and managers internalized the censorship regime. As such, the volume moves beyond a narrow focus on erasures and emendations visible on manuscripts to elucidate censorship's wide-ranging significance across the long eighteenth century. Demonstrating theatre archives' potency as a resource for historical research, this volume is of exceptional value for researchers interested in the evolving complexities of Georgian society, its politics and mores.
