Download or read book British Writers and Paris: 1830-1875 written by Elisabeth Jay and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A wicked and detestable place, though wonderfully attractive': Charles Dickens's conflicted feelings about Paris typify the fascination and repulsion with which a host of mid-nineteenth-century British writers viewed their nearest foreign capital. Variously perceived as the showcase for sophisticated, cosmopolitan talent, the home of revolution, a stronghold of Roman Catholicism, and a shrine to irreligious hedonism, Paris was also a city where writers were respected and journalism flourished. This historically-grounded account of the ways in which Paris touched the careers and work of both major and minor Victorian writers considers both their actual experiences of an urban environment, distinctively different from anything Britain offered, and the extent to which this became absorbed and expressed within the Victorian imaginary. Casting a wide literary net, the first part of this book explores these writers' reaction to the swiftly changing politics and topography of Paris, before considering the nature of their social interactions with the Parisians, through networks provided by institutions such as the British Embassy and the salons. The second part of the book examines the significance of Paris for mid-nineteenth-century Anglophone journalists., paying particular attention to the ways in which the young Thackeray's exposure to Parisian print culture shaped him as both writer and artist. The final part focuses on fictional representations of Paris, revealing the frequency with which they relied upon previous literary sources, and how the surprisingly narrow palette of subgenres, structures and characters they employed contributed to the characteristic, and sometimes contradictory, prejudices of a swiftly-growing British readership.
Book Synopsis Paris and Its People Under English Rule by : Guy Llewelyn Thompson
Download or read book Paris and Its People Under English Rule written by Guy Llewelyn Thompson and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of Paris during the period in the fifteenth century when it fell under English rule. Paris was the headquarters of the Lancastrian government in northern France, established by the victories of Henry V. This history thus forms a key chapter in the story of the rule of Henry VI on both sides of the Channel. Thompson examines the advantages that, for a time at least, occupation seemed to offer the indigenous population, and shows how the English were able to retain secure control. He then provides a political and administrative history, and offers a fascinating exploration of Parisian society at a unique period of the city's history.

Download or read book Published in Paris written by Hugh Ford and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Professor Ford tells how writers who are now heros of twentieth-century English literature first got their works into print: James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, Anaïs Nin, Lawrence Durrell, Henry Miller, Samuel Beckett - and countless others. Private publishers joined with these writers, gambling with time and money, in order to produce, distribute and sell their publications. Many of these books had been rejected by more affulent, but less adventurous, publishers in Britain and America, and those publishers in Paris who were brave enough to transform the manuscripts into books frequently had to battle against printers, distributors and censors. Among the ranks of the publishers discussed in this book are Syvia Beach, Nancy Cunard, Robert McAlmon, Bill Bird, Samuel Putnam, Jack Kahana, Edward Titus, and Harry and Caresse Crosby. An extremely useful appendix gives a list of private press publications, periodicals and newspapers published in Paris between the wars." - Dust jacket.

Book Synopsis Victorian England's Bestselling Author by : Stephen Basdeo
Download or read book Victorian England's Bestselling Author written by Stephen Basdeo and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2022-11-17 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George W.M. Reynolds (1814–79) was one of the biggest-selling novelists of the Victorian era. He was the author of over 58 novels and short stories and his “penny blood” The Mysteries of London, serialised in weekly numbers between 1844 and 1848, sold over a million copies. A controversial figure in his lifetime, Reynolds’s Mysteries, and its follow-up The Mysteries of the Court of London (1849–56), contained tales of crime, vice, and highly sexualised scenes. For this reason Charles Dickens remarked that Reynolds’s name was one “with which no lady’s, and no gentleman’s, should be associated.” Yet Reynolds was much more than just a novelist; he was lauded by the working classes as their champion and campaigned for universal suffrage. To further the working classes’ cause, he established two newspapers: Reynolds’s Political Instructor and Reynolds’s Weekly Newspaper. The latter newspaper, as Karl Marx recognized, became the principal organ of radical and labour politics. This book provides a biography of Reynolds and reproduces his editorials from Reynolds’s Political Instructor as well as excerpts from his fiction.
