Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harriet Martineau (1802-76) was a British social theorist and writer, often cited as the first female sociologist. She wrote many books and a multitude of essays from a sociological, holistic, religious, domestic, and, most controversially, feminist perspective. She also translated works by the French philosopher Auguste Comte, and earned enough to support herself entirely from her writing, a rare feat for a woman in the Victorian era. After her family's textile business failed in 1829, Martineau set about earning a living by selling articles to the Monthly Repository, quickly establishing herself as a popular and reliable freelance writer. Her first commissioned book was Illustrations of Political Economy (1832), a fictional tutorial intended to help the general public understand the ideas of Adam Smith, which led to a series of similar monthly stories over the next two years. Upon moving from Norwich to London in 1832 Martineau soon became acquainted with many of the leading figures of the day in the fields of social reform, economics, science and literature, and in 1834, after completing her series on economics, she paid a long visit to the US. On her return she published several books on her findings: Society in America (1837), How to Observe Morals and Manners (1838), both considered significant contributions to the emerging field of sociology, and the more personal account of her trip, Retrospect of Western Travel, published in two volumes in 1838. Martineau was also the author of works of fiction for both children and adults, her best known novel being Deerbrook (1838). In 1839 she was diagnosed with a uterine tumour and her later years were plagued with ill-health although she continued her political activism and remained a prolific writer. In 1855, suffering from heart disease, she began her autobiography, and fearing her life was near its end she completed it within three months, postponing publication until after her death. She went on to live for a further two decades and it was published posthumously in 1877. Reprinted from Volume I of Retrospect of Western Travel published by Saunders & Otley, London, in 1838, and sold by Harper & Brothers, New York.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading social reformer and pioneering abolitionist, British journalist Harriet Martineau fueled the debate over the abolition of slavery that raged on both sides of the Atlantic before the American Civil War. Her impassioned writings about abolition--with more than fifty essays and articles collected in this premier annotated edition--provide piercing insights into American society, politics, and the issue of slavery. Determined to give a fair, objective hearing to both sides of the American slavery debate, Martineau crossed the ocean in 1834 and discovered a nation in turmoil. As a prominent writer, she was vigorously courted by both opponents and supporters of slavery who sought her endorsement for their political cause. From northern mansions to southern plantations, from Congress and President Jackson's White House to hospitals, factories, and slave quarters, people opened their doors to Martineau, providing her an unusually comprehensive view of American life. Shocked by the intensity of the controversy over slavery, and inspired by the bravery and defiance of abolitionists who campaigned in the face of social pressure and physical danger, Martineau publicly declared her support of abolition in 1835. Joining the ranks of the abolitionists made Martineau a prime target for persecution, and the remainder of her stay in America was fraught with death threats. She returned to England and promoted her cause by writing for the British periodical press, a career that would span the next thirty-five years. Martineau's friend and fellow abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison praised her as a "social heretic" whose compulsion to uphold the moral ground of human dignity and freedom outweighed any concern with popular opinions about her character or reputation. Twenty years after her dramatic American tour, Martineau wrote with pride that her name was "still reviled" in the South. One of the first women to earn a living by her pen, Martineau never faltered in the lifelong crusade that placed her in the forefront of political and social reform efforts. Writings on Slavery and the American Civil War conveys one woman's persistent call for absolute, immediate, and universal emancipation.

Excerpt: ...with a languid step, take hold of her gown, and timidly ask, " What, an't ye well?" I used to observe her helping to dress her mistress's hair, her little hands trembling with eagerness, her eye following every glance of the eye which ever looked tenderly upon her. Her master declared he did not know what to make of the child, she looked so scared, and trembled so if she was spoken to: and she was indeed the most sensitive of children. As she stood at the corner of the dinner-table to fan away the flies, she was a picture from which it was difficult to turn away. Her little yellow headdress suited well with her clear brown complexion and large soft black eyes: nothing that she could at all understand of the conversation escaped her, while she never intermitted her waving of the huge brush of peacocks' feathers. Her face was then composed in its intelligence, for she stood by her mistress's elbow; a station where she seemed to think no harm could befal her. Alas! she has lost her kind mistress. Amidst the many sad thoughts which thronged into my mind when I heard of the death of this lady, one of the wisest and best of American women, I own that some of my earliest regrets were for little Ailsie; and when I think of her sensibility, her beauty, and the dreadful circumstances of her parentage, as told me by her mistress, I am almost in despair about her future lot; for what can her master, with all his goodness, do for the forlorn little creature's protection? None but a virtuous mistress can fully protect a female slave, --and that too seldom. Ailsie was born on an estate in Tennessee. Her father is a white gentleman, not belonging to the family; her mother the family cook. The cook's black husband cherished such a deadly hatred against this poor...

Download or read book Harriet Martineau and the Birth of Disciplines written by Valerie Sanders and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the foremost writers of her time, Harriet Martineau established her reputation by writing a hugely successful series of fictional tales on political economy whose wide readership included the young Queen Victoria. She went on to write fiction and nonfiction; books, articles and pamphlets; popular travel books and more insightful analyses. Martineau wrote in the middle decades of the nineteenth century, at a time when new disciplines and areas of knowledge were being established. Bringing together scholars of literature, history, economics and sociology, this volume demonstrates the scope of Martineau's writing and its importance to nineteenth-century politics and culture. Reflecting Martineau's prodigious achievements, the essays explore her influence on the emerging fields of sociology, history, education, science, economics, childhood, the status of women, disability studies, journalism, travel writing, life writing and letter writing. As a woman contesting Victorian patriarchal relations, Martineau was controversial in her own lifetime and has still not received the recognition that is due her. This wide-ranging collection confirms her place as one of the leading intellectuals, cultural theorists and commentators of the nineteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reframes the long-standing critical narrative of the relationship between Harriet Martineau and Charles DickensDemonstrates, through new readings of Martineau and Dickens's travel in and writing about the United States, how their encounters with the American public sphere were crucially formative in both writers' careers and in their shaping as journalistsPlaces Martineau and Dickens within the context of Anglo-American liberalism, thereby expanding our reading of them beyond earlier schema framed in narrower terms of political economyExpands understandings of transatlantic literary exchange to offer a more comprehensive reading than those offered through an earlier critical focus simply on the issue of international copyrightFocusing on the importance of Martineau's contribution to the development of the early Victorian press, this book highlights the degree to which the public quarrel between her and Dickens in the mid-1850s represented larger fissures within nineteenth-century liberalism. It places Martineau and Dickens within the context of Anglo-American liberalism and demonstrates how these fissures were embedded within a transatlantic conversation over the role of the press in forming a public sphere essential to the development of a liberal society.
