Book Synopsis Radicals, Volume 1 by : Meredith Stabel
Download or read book Radicals, Volume 1 written by Meredith Stabel and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2021-06-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Smoking. Pauline Hopkins on alchemy and the undead. Frances E.W. Harper on woman's political future. Sui Sin Far on cross-dressing. Emma Lazarus and Angelina Weld Grimké on lesbian longing. Julia Ward Howe on intersexuality. Charlotte Perkins Gilman on euthanasia. Emma Goldman against the tyranny of marriage. Ida B. Wells against lynching. Anna Julia Cooper on Black American womanho. Frances Willard on riding a bicycle. This anthology is perhaps the first of its kind: a full-length collection of radical writings by American women of the 19th and early 20th century, with all major genres represented-fiction, poetry, drama, memoir, essays, and oratory-and voices of color prioritized. Many of these writings have never been anthologized before; some have never even been reprinted before. Stabel and Turpin endeavor to counterbalance widely canonized voices with a greater proportion of writings by less-anthologized Black feminists, Native feminists, and Asian American feminists, many of whom were writing for their lives and the lives of their families and communities, often at the risk of being harassed, slandered, disenfranchised, or lynched. Readers will find the original version of what was later edited into Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I a Woman?" speech, Julia A. J. Foote's account of her fight to be able to preach in the A.M.E. Church despite being a woman, and Julia Ward Howe's sensitive treatment of intersex life in America. They will also encounter new and surprising facets of the authors they know and love. For example, Emily Dickinson's most overtly erotic poems, those usually passed over in favor of other verses that misleadingly suggest a celibacy or disinterest in sex on Dickinson's part; and Kate Chopin's "An Egyptian Cigarette," her first-person fictional account of smoking pot-originally published in Vogue. Readers will enjoy excerpts from Pauline Hopkins's Of One Blood, a novel of alchemy and the undead, as well as from Amelia E. Johnson's Clarence and Corinne, a traditional love story. Simply writing such works was a radical freedom that these women had to carve out for themselves, in an era when many of them were legally considered property, none could vote, and reading and writing were often seen as privileges only for the free and wealthy. Radicals is ultimately intended to undo silences and prioritize unheard, underrepresented, powerful works of literature-from a period whose later historians often relegated women's writings to the periphery of American culture. One and all, these were women of genius and audacity, and, as Adah Isaacs Menken writes of such radicals, "this very audacity is divine""--
Book Synopsis Place and Progress in the Works of Elizabeth Gaskell by : Lesa Scholl
Download or read book Place and Progress in the Works of Elizabeth Gaskell written by Lesa Scholl and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical assessments of Elizabeth Gaskell have tended to emphasise the regional and provincial aspects of her writing, but the scope of her influence extended across the globe. Building on theories of space and place, the contributors to this collection bring a variety of geographical, industrial, psychological, and spatial perspectives to bear on the vast range of Gaskell’s literary output and on her place within the narrative of British letters and national identity. The advent of the railway and the increasing predominance of manufactory machinery reoriented the nation’s physical and social countenance, but alongside the excitement of progress and industry was a sense of fear and loss manifested through an idealization of the country home, the pastoral retreat, and the agricultural south. In keeping with the theme of progress and change, the essays follow parallel narratives that acknowledge both the angst and nostalgia produced by industrial progress and the excitement and awe occasioned by the potential of the empire. Finally, the volume engages with adaptation and cultural performance, in keeping with the continuing importance of Gaskell in contemporary popular culture far beyond the historical and cultural environs of nineteenth-century Manchester.

Book Synopsis The Social Context of James Ensor’s Art Practice by : Susan M. Canning
Download or read book The Social Context of James Ensor’s Art Practice written by Susan M. Canning and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-10-20 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Vive la Sociale”: This rousing, revolutionary statement, written on a bright red banner across the top of James Ensor's Christ's Entry into Brussels in 1889, served as a visual manifesto and call to action by the Belgian artist (1860-1949), one that announced with an insistent, public voice the centrality of his art practice to the cultural discourse of modern Belgium. This provocative declaration serves as the title for this new study of Ensor's art focusing on its social discourse and the artist's interaction with and at times satirical encounter with his contemporary milieu. Rather than the alienated and traumatized Expressionist given preference in modern art history, Ensor is presented here as an artist of agency and purpose whose art practice engaged the issues and concerns of middle class Belgian life, society and politics and was informed by the values and class, race and gendered perspectives of his time. Ensor's radical vision and oppositional strategy of resistance, self-fashioning and performance remains relevant. This book with its timely, nuanced reading of the art and career of this often misunderstood “artist's artist”, invites a re-evaluation not only of Ensor's social context and expressive critique but also his unique contribution to modernist art practice.
Book Synopsis The Trials of Mrs. Lincoln by : Samuel Agnew Schreiner
Download or read book The Trials of Mrs. Lincoln written by Samuel Agnew Schreiner and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Todd Lincoln (1818?82) was a politically ambitious, volatile, and sharp-tongued woman, a shopaholic, and an embarrassment to her son and to the powerful men who sought to control the Lincoln legacy for their own political supremacy. Slandered by former Lincoln cronies and Republican operatives, such as William Herndon, Ward Hill Lamon, and Thurlow Weed; disliked by her son?s wife, the former Mary Harlan; plagued by debts, her pension grant having been denied by Congress; conspired against by her son, Robert, along with Supreme Court justice David Davis, Leonard Swett, John Todd Stuart, Isaac N. Arnold, and others, she had literally no one to turn to. This account of her final years, based on documentary evidence, sets the record straight and restores the reputation of one of the most maligned women in American political history.

Book Synopsis Rembrandt's Roughness by : Nicola Suthor
Download or read book Rembrandt's Roughness written by Nicola Suthor and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roughness is the sensual quality most often associated with Rembrandt's idiosyncratic style. It best defines the specific structure of his painterly textures, which subtly capture and engage the imagination of the beholder. Rembrandt's Roughness examines how the artist's unconventional technique pushed the possibilities of painting into startling and unexpected realms. Drawing on the phenomenological insights of Edmund Husserl as well as firsthand accounts by Rembrandt's contemporaries, Nicola Suthor provides invaluable new perspectives on many of the painter's best-known masterpieces, including The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Deyman, The Return of the Prodigal Son, and Aristotle with a Bust of Homer. She focuses on pictorial phenomena such as the thickness of the paint material, the visibility of the colored priming, and the dramatizing element of chiaroscuro, showing how they constitute Rembrandt's most effective tools for extending the representational limits of painting. Suthor explores how Rembrandt developed a visually precise handling of his artistic medium that forced his viewers to confront the paint itself as a source of meaning, its challenging complexity expressed in the subtlest stroke of his brush. A beautifully illustrated meditation on a painter like no other, Rembrandt's Roughness reflects deeply on the intellectual challenge that Rembrandt's unrivaled artistry posed to the art theory of his time and its eminent role in the history of art today.
