This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the PREFACE. There is an object in view in publishing this work as there is in the publishing of all other works; whether the object in view in this case is the same as in all others, it matters little to the one who will ever own this treasure. This book is not published to build up a name, a reputation, to organize classes, or to acquire students, ( the writer has done all the French teaching he will ever do--"Twenty years is enough for anyone"), but to help those who are now studying the French language. While professor at various Universities and lecturing before advanced classes, interested in rapid progress, I made copious notations on various subjects, such as "pronunciation," "similarity of words," "spelling," "gender," "eccentricities in both English and French languages," etc., etc., --anything and everything that would promote rapid progress, and expand the mind of the students, by showing them how far they could possibly reach under my guidance. When a young man, I read Cannon Farrar's essay on Liberal Education. One sentence remained photographed on my mind which is still haunting me: "All knowledge is hurtful to the mind, when acquired with a spiritual loss." I bless the day I read that. The notes contained in this book, are such as given to my classes. They are good, correct, useful, scholarly. They are above all, practical. The gender of French nouns is very tedious to learn. It must be learned, or the study of French abandoned. Then, it becomes the duty of the teacher to make this task as easy as possible. There are quite a number of books and pamphlets written on the gender of French nouns. I condemn none. I praise them all, because the intention was quite as good as mine, although the help may not be as effective as rendered by this work. I will, however, take the liberty to say, that up-to-date I have not found any treatise on this subject that is practical. Most of them contain numberless endings that are said to belong to either gender, but none of them are pointed out as being more important than another. If the gender is to be learned through endings, which ending is to be first committed to memory in order to learn the most, when adopting endings as a medium? The gender of French nouns is mostly a phonetic question and not an "ending" question....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of eccentricity was central to how people in the nineteenth century understood their world. This monograph is the first scholarly history of eccentricity.

She focuses on the self-taught natural philosopher William Martin, the fossilist Thomas Hawkins and the taxidermist Charles Waterton.

This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An innovative, interdisciplinary, incisive scholarly study remapping and redefining domains and dynamics of modernism, EccentriCities: Writing in the margins of modernism critically considers how geo-historically distant and disparate urban sites, concentrating Russian and Luso-Brazilian cultural dialogue and definition, give rise to peculiarly parallel anachronistic and alternative fictional forms. While comparatively reframing these literary traditions through an extensive survey of Russian and Brazilian literature, cartography, urban design and development, foregrounding innovative close readings of works by Gogol, Dostoevsky, Bely, Almeida, Machado de Assis, Lima Barreto, Mário de Andrade, the book also redefines new constellations (eccentric, concentric, ex-centric) for understanding geo-cultural and generic dimensions of modernist and post-modern literature and theory.

This book was released on 2009-01-15 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did it mean to call someone 'eccentric' in nineteenth-century Paris? And why did breaking with convention arouse such ambivalent responses in middle-class readers, writers, and spectators? From high society to Bohemia and the demi-monde to the madhouse, the scandal of nonconformism provoked anxiety, disgust, and often secret yearning. In a culture preoccupied by the need for order yet simultaneously drawn to the values of freedom and innovation, eccentricity continually tested the boundaries of bourgeois identity, ultimately becoming inseparable from it. This interdisciplinary study charts shifting French perceptions of the anomalous and bizarre from the 1830s to the fin de siècle, focusing on three key issues. First, during the July Monarchy eccentricity was linked to fashion, dandyism, and commodity culture; to many Parisians it epitomized the dangerous seductions of modernity and the growing prestige of the courtesan. Second, in the aftermath of the 1848 Revolution eccentricity was associated with the Bohemian artists and performers who inhabited 'the unknown Paris', a zone of social exclusion which middle-class spectators found both fascinating and repugnant. Finally, the popularization of medical theories of national decline in the latter part of the century led to decreasing tolerance for individual difference, and eccentricity was interpreted as a symptom of hidden insanity and deformity. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including etiquette manuals, fashion magazines, newspapers, novels, and psychiatric treatises, the study highlights the central role of gender in shaping perceptions of eccentricity. It provides new readings of works by major French writers and illuminates both well-known and neglected figures of Parisian modernity, from the courtesan and Bohemian to the female dandy and circus freak.
