Book Synopsis Pleasure in Profit by : LAURA. MORETTI
Download or read book Pleasure in Profit written by LAURA. MORETTI and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The late seventeenth century was a time of peace in Japan, and consequently, schools and culture flourished even for non-elites. Although publishing for vernacular-only (i.e., not literary Sinitic) readers was big business, both Japanese and Western scholarship has largely ignored these books, concentrating instead on a narrative of the development of the novel in the seventeenth century, culminating in the writings of Ihara Saikaku (1642-1693). In Pleasure in Profit, Laura Moretti studies lowbrow seventeenth-century literature on its own terms, and in doing so, not only presents a much more accurate picture of prose at this time but also contributes to our understanding of Japanese non-elites--for instance, how key principles of Buddhism and Confucianism spread to the populace--and comparative popular culture, showing that this literature was no different from the French bibliothèque bleue, British chapbooks, or the Russian literature of lubok"--

Book Synopsis Motives of Honor, Pleasure, and Profit by : Lorena S. Walsh
Download or read book Motives of Honor, Pleasure, and Profit written by Lorena S. Walsh and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 733 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lorena Walsh offers an enlightening history of plantation management in the Chesapeake colonies of Virginia and Maryland, ranging from the founding of Jamestown to the close of the Seven Years' War and the end of the "Golden Age" of colonial Chesapeake agriculture. Walsh focuses on the operation of more than thirty individual plantations and on the decisions that large planters made about how they would run their farms. She argues that, in the mid-seventeenth century, Chesapeake planter elites deliberately chose to embrace slavery. Prior to 1763 the primary reason for large planters' debt was their purchase of capital assets--especially slaves--early in their careers. In the later stages of their careers, chronic indebtedness was rare. Walsh's narrative incorporates stories about the planters themselves, including family dynamics and relationships with enslaved workers. Accounts of personal and family fortunes among the privileged minority and the less well documented accounts of the suffering, resistance, and occasional minor victories of the enslaved workers add a personal dimension to more concrete measures of planter success or failure.
