As soon as picture postcards became commonly available in the 1890s, these three writers were frequent subjects, two of them famous for the poetry but even more so for their disreputable private lives, spiced with escapades that shock us even today for their audacity. The text addresses the scandal and the literary work, employing full captions to help explain the ongoing popularity of these young giants.

Book Synopsis Authorized Images: Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Browning, Matthew Arnold by :
Download or read book Authorized Images: Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Browning, Matthew Arnold written by and published by Greg Gatenby Books. This book was released on 2024-11-18 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authorized Images Famous Authors Seen Through Antique and Vintage Postcards: Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Browning, Matthew Arnold Robert Browning And his wife Elizabeth gained fame in the Victorian Age not only as two of the century's most important English poets but also because of their scandalous elopement, escape from London, and settlement in Italy. By the standards of straight-laced Britain, their behaviour was amoral, with the result that few postcards of them were commercially available during the Golden Age of postcards. Those which were are well represented in this volume. Matthew Arnold, by contrast, was an Establishment figure featured in several postcards from the turn of the century—most of them presented in this book.
Book Synopsis Charles Dickens and the Image of Woman by : David Holbrook
Download or read book Charles Dickens and the Image of Woman written by David Holbrook and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dickens, of course, had to accept the conventions of his time. Clearly the Victorian problem - which was man's problem as much as it was woman's - was that of bringing the ideal woman and the libidinal woman together. It is obvious, argues Holbrook, that Dickens idealized the father-daughter relationship, and indeed, any such relationship that was unsexual, like that of Tom Pinch and his sister, but why? And why, for example, is the image of woman so often associated with death, as in Great Expectations? Dickens's own struggles over relationships with women have been documented, but much less has been said about the unconscious elements behind these problems.
Book Synopsis Unequal Partners by : Lillian Nayder
Download or read book Unequal Partners written by Lillian Nayder and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first book centering on the collaborative relationship between Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins, Lillian Nayder places their coauthored works in the context of the Victorian publishing industry and shows how their fiction and drama represent and reconfigure their sometimes strained relationship. She challenges the widely accepted image of Dickens as a mentor of younger writers such as Collins, points to the ways in which Dickens controlled and profited from his literary "satellites," and charts Collins's development as an increasingly significant and independent author. The pair's collaborations for Household Words and All the Year Round explicitly addressed Victorian labor disputes and political unrest, and Nayder reads the stories in terms of the social and imperial conflicts that both provided their themes and enabled Dickens and Collins to mediate their own personal and professional differences. Nayder's discussion of the collaboration and its principals is greatly enriched by archival research into unpublished and unfamiliar material, including the manuscripts of The Frozen Deep.
Book Synopsis Edward Said and the Authority of Literary Criticism by : Nicolas Vandeviver
Download or read book Edward Said and the Authority of Literary Criticism written by Nicolas Vandeviver and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the earliest writings of Edward Said and the foundations of what came to be known as postcolonial criticism, in order to reveal how the groundbreaking author of Orientalism turned literary criticism into a form of political intervention. Tracing Said’s shifting conceptions of ‘literature’ and ‘agency’ in relation to the history of (American) literary studies in the thirty years or so between the end of World War II and the last quarter of the twentieth century, this book offers a rich and novel understanding of the critical practice of this indispensable figure and the institutional context from which it emerged. By combining broad-scale literary history with granular attention to the vocabulary of criticism, Nicolas Vandeviver brings to light the harmonizing of methodological conflicts that informs Said’s approach to literature; and argues that Said’s enduring political significance is grounded in his practice as a literary critic.

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Charles Dickens written by John O. Jordan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-06-18 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Companion to Charles Dickens contains fourteen specially-commissioned chapters by leading international scholars, who together provide diverse but complementary approaches to the full span of Dickens's work, with particular focus on his major fiction. The essays cover the whole range of Dickens's writing, from Sketches by Boz through The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Separate chapters address important thematic topics: childhood, the city, and domestic ideology. Others consider formal features of the novels, including their serial publication and Dickens's distinctive use of language. Three final chapters examine Dickens in relation to work in other media: illustration, theatre, and film. Each essay provides guidance to further reading. The volume as a whole offers a valuable introduction to Dickens for students and general readers, as well as fresh insights, informed by recent critical theory, that will be of interest to scholars and teachers of the novels.
Book Synopsis Visualizing Law and Authority by : Leif Dahlberg
Download or read book Visualizing Law and Authority written by Leif Dahlberg and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume "Visualizing Law and Authority. Essays on Legal Aesthetics" brings together revised papers from the international conference "Law and the Image", held in Stockholm, 24–25 September, 2010. The participants/contributors belong to the disciplines of Art history, Cultural studies, Literary and Media studies, and Law. The contributions discuss the complex relations between law, media and visual phenomena. The common theme of the essays consists in an examination of the scopic field and of regimes of visibility in phenomenological terms, arguing that law constitutes a cognitive and aesthetic field of normative world-making. Rather than merely inverting Shelley’s dictum that the "poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world", the essays argue in different ways for the necessity to develop a legal aesthetics. The most immediate way of pursuing such a legal aesthetics consists in examining law itself as an aesthetic object, for instance the power of law to produce icons, in the sense of unreadable texts or textiles (Martin Kayman, Gary Watt). Several essays focus on the way that visual art and media can be used to constitute and represent political power, but also to question it and to put it into question (Chiara Battisti, Leif Dahlberg, Elina Druker, Sidia Fiorato, Paul Raffield). Other essays investigate legal structures inherent in the artwork (and the artworld) itself (Ari Hirvonen, Max Liljefors, Christine Poggi, Karen-Margrethe Simonsen). Finally, there are two essays focusing on the use of images and imagery in the legal process, explicity arguing for the need of a legal aesthetics (Daniela Carpi, Richard Sherwin). Although diverse, the individual essays are interconnected with each other in fruitful and critical ways, making both explicit and implict references to each other.
