Book excerpt: Excerpt from Random Sketches and Notes of European Travel in 1856 No apology is offered for this book of Travels. It is not published at the solicitation of friends, nor because there is any apparent need for such a publication. But I choose to publish it. The public will decide whether it shall, or shall not find readers. Some will read it; many will not. This is true of a very large number of books of far higher merit than this claims to be. It is not true that everybody who goes abroad writes a book. Not one in a thousand does this, and yet every one has a right to do so if he chooses. It is true, nevertheless, that many books of travel are written and published, and, as a general thing, most of them find a wide circulation, and are extensively read. This volume pretends to nothing beyond what is indicated on the titlepage. It contains mere random sketches and surface views, all of which were written in the midst of the scenes described, and while the impressions from the objects mentioned were fresh upon the mind. It is descriptive to a very considerable extent, and the design has been to conduct the reader over the whole route of travel, and show him what I have seen, and to make him feel, as far as I might be able to do so, as though he himself had witnessed what I have described. The book will be found unequal in some of its parts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vignettes of Travel: Some Comparative Sketches in England and Italy The Entrance-Porch to England - An Initial Walk - The Old Home - Vitiation of the Language - The Soldier and the Beggar - Coming Differentiation of the English and American Language - The Vignette Cathedral Scene of England. Chester is the vignette scene of England, and a very charming one. Within fifteen miles of Liverpool, and trains running out almost hourly, the experienced traveller can, and the judicious one will, avoid that monotonous town consecrated to trade and lucre, and spend his first night in England in a little country village representative and typical of the most English of English scenery. Indeed, if circumstances permit, I would advise that the visitor walk from Liverpool to Chester. It is a short distance, over excellent roads, and the walk will give one at once an idea of English landscape which it would take weeks of railway travel to acquire. The walk will be made along green lanes and by hedges and under avenues of great trees which form a picture not to be forgotten, and answering completely to what is, perhaps, the conventional conception of any well-read person of rural England. To an educated American, indeed, all England is so familiar by pictures, literature, and legend that, entering it for the first time, he feels as if he were coming home again instead of visiting a strange land, - as if he had been there before in a half-remembered childhood or in a dream, and were part of it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes of Travel: Being a Journal of a Tour in Europe In common, perhaps, with the majority of persons inhabiting this Western Continent, did I entertain, at an early period of my life, a strong desire to visit the great Eastern World - the land of my forefathers, and the source of all our institutions, civil and religious; except that one, that greatest of all institutions, the institution of Liberty and self-government. Nor is it at all singular, that by commencing the study of a profession, whose annals are so richly stored by the labours of its eminent European members, whose practical utility has been so much enhanced by observations conducted in those immense and well regulated European hospitals, this desire should be increased. Bound, however, by the force of circumstances, after entering upon the active duties of my arduous calling, I had almost relinquished every idea of having my wish gratified, when by misfortunes incident to human life, operating on a constitution already enfeebled, it became necessary for a while to intermit my labours. This appeared to me a favourable season, not only for gratifying a long entertained desire, and benefiting my health, but also for comparing the practice of my profession in my own country, with that of foreign lands; and thus rendering myself more useful to my fellow-citizens, whose confidence I have had the honor so extensively to enjoy. With this motive, and these views, then, I left my home and ray friends, on the 16th of April, 1841, to complete my arrangements in the cities of Philadelphia and New York, previously to my embarcation. As the places and objects I visited on my tour, have been again and again described, and by very many far abler pens than my own, and as I have not the least ambition to aspire to authorship, I shall give a simple narrative of my wanderings, in the journal form, in the order in which the objects were viewed, and the impressions made from day to day; pruning redundancies, or adding explanatory details, as occasion may require.

Book excerpt: Featuring essays by Paul Manoguerra, curator of American Art at the Georgia Museum of Art, and Janice Simon, professor of art history at the Lamar Dodd School of Art, Classic Ground: Mid-Nineteenth-Century Painting and the Italian Encounter accompanies the exhibition of the same title. The exhibition brings together a group of paintings by American artists as a result of their mid-nineteenth-century Italian travels on the "Grand Tour." Thomas Cole, Martin Johnson Heade, Albert Bierstadt, Jasper Francis Cropsey, and other American painters created a body of work featuring Italian landscapes, people, buildings, and life. Classic Ground situates American paintings, with Italian subject matter, in the context of mid-nineteenth-century politics, gender, ideology, religion, and popular culture.

Book excerpt: More than three decades after its first publication, Edward Said's groundbreaking critique of the West's historical, cultural, and political perceptions of the East has become a modern classic. In this wide-ranging, intellectually vigorous study, Said traces the origins of "orientalism" to the centuries-long period during which Europe dominated the Middle and Near East and, from its position of power, defined "the orient" simply as "other than" the occident. This entrenched view continues to dominate western ideas and, because it does not allow the East to represent itself, prevents true understanding. Essential, and still eye-opening, Orientalism remains one of the most important books written about our divided world.

Download or read book Culture and Imperialism written by Edward W. Said and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark work from the author of Orientalism that explores the long-overlooked connections between the Western imperial endeavor and the culture that both reflected and reinforced it. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as the Western powers built empires that stretched from Australia to the West Indies, Western artists created masterpieces ranging from Mansfield Park to Heart of Darkness and Aida. Yet most cultural critics continue to see these phenomena as separate. Edward Said looks at these works alongside those of such writers as W. B. Yeats, Chinua Achebe, and Salman Rushdie to show how subject peoples produced their own vigorous cultures of opposition and resistance. Vast in scope and stunning in its erudition, Culture and Imperialism reopens the dialogue between literature and the life of its time.
