Download or read book The Autobiography of Margaret Oliphant written by Margaret Oliphant and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2002-01-08 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the death of Margaret Oliphant—the prolific nineteenth-century novelist, biographer, essayist, reviewer, and prominent voice on the “woman question”—two well-intending relatives took the autobiographical manuscripts she composed over a thirty-year period, and recomposed them to suit the model of a conventional memoir. In the process, they suppressed more than a quarter of the material. Based on the original manuscripts, the Broadview edition now makes available the missing text in its original order, and the restored Autobiography of Margaret Oliphant portrays a woman of scathing irony, anger, and grief. Part of Broadview’s Nineteenth-Century British Autobiographies series, this edition also includes extensive excerpts from Oliphant’s diaries.

Book Synopsis Mrs Oliphant, "a Fiction to Herself" by : Elisabeth Jay
Download or read book Mrs Oliphant, "a Fiction to Herself" written by Elisabeth Jay and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an expatriate Scots woman, Mrs Margaret Oliphant (1828-97) started her prolific and accomplished writing career at three removes from the centre of Victorian literary life. Widowed early, and left with not only her own children, but two brothers, a nephew, and two nieces to support, she became keenly aware of the discrepancy between society's assumptions about woman's role and her own position as a female breadwinner in the male-dominated world of nineteenth-century publishing. Out of the contrast between her wryly ironic view of life and the conventions of Victorian fiction came the disconcerting questioning of accepted ideologies of the family, religious orthodoxy, and a woman's place in society that characterizes her writing. Mrs. Oliphant: A Fiction to Herself contains an often surprising portrait of the professional Victorian woman writer. By choosing to interweave the life and the work of Mrs Oliphant, Elisabeth Jay's lucid and comprehensive study raises for consideration the way in which a particular woman writer perceived her own life, and the wider question of whether women writers have been well-served by the mythological structures of male biography.

Book excerpt: In London in the late twenties and thirties, Betty studied ballet with Tamara Karsavina, Marie Rambert and Margaret Saul. At a very early age her schooling was sacrificed to dance training, which extended far beyond ballet to include stage, tap, ballroom and acrobatics. Teaching and dancing professionally at the age of thirteen, she opened her own school at the age of seventeen above Twinings Tea Emporium. Leaving France under the looming shadow of war, she worked during the war as an ambulance diver, as a choreographer of pantomimes, and finally for The Blue Pencils, a British army touring revue. At war's end, Betty came to Canada as a war bride for the benefit of her young children, one of whom was suffering from tuberculosis of the spine. In Toronto, she quickly began teaching, choreographing for the opera and for pantomimes with Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster. When Celia Franca established the National Ballet of Canada, Betty was Ballet Mistress for eight years and later served the company as Associate Artistic Director. Her own school became the core of the National Ballet School, founded in 1959 to ensure that future students would receive the best dance training without sacrificing their academic schooling. She succeeded beyond anyone's expectations. The graduates of the National Ballet School now light up stages around the world. Teaching was always her first love, but her talents extended to leadership, fundraising, governmental and corporate relations.

Book Synopsis Traditions of Victorian Women's Autobiography by : Linda H. Peterson
Download or read book Traditions of Victorian Women's Autobiography written by Linda H. Peterson and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian women's autobiography emerged at a historical moment when the field of life writing was particularly rich. Spiritual autobiography was developing interesting variations in the heroic memoirs of pioneering missionary women and in probing intellectual analyses of Nonconformists, Anglicans, agnostics, and other religious thinkers. The chroniques scandaleuses of the eighteenth century were giving way to the respectable artist's life of the professional Victorian woman. The domestic memoir, a Victorian variation on the family histories of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, flourished in a culture that celebrated the joys of home, family, and private life. Perhaps most important, Victorian women writers were experimenting with all these forms in various combinations and permutations. Arguing that women's autobiography does not represent a singular separate tradition but instead embraces multiple lineages, Linda H. Peterson explores the poetics and politics of these diverse forms of life writing. She carefully analyzes the polemical Autobiography of Harriet Martineau and Personal Recollections of Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna, the missionary memoirs that challenge Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, the Romantic autobiographies of the poet and poetess that Barrett Browning reconstructs in Aurora Leigh, the professional life stories of Margaret Oliphant and her contemporaries, and the Brontëan and Eliotian bifurcations of Mary Cholmondeley's memoirs. The desire to know the details of other women's lives--and to use them for one's own purposes--underlies much Victorian women's autobiography, even as it helps to explain our continuing interest in their accounts.
Book Synopsis Virginia Woolf and the Nineteenth-Century Domestic Novel by : Emily Blair
Download or read book Virginia Woolf and the Nineteenth-Century Domestic Novel written by Emily Blair and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-16 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Virginia Woolf and the Nineteenth-Century Domestic Novel, Emily Blair explores how nineteenth-century descriptions of femininity saturate both Woolf's fiction and her modernist manifestos. Moving between the Victorian and modernist periods, Blair looks at a range of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century sources, including the literature of conduct and household management, as well as autobiography, essay, poetry, and fiction. She argues for a reevaluation of Woolf's persistent yet vexed fascination with English domesticity and female creativity by juxtaposing the novels of Elizabeth Gaskell and Margaret Oliphant, two popular Victorian novelists, against Woolf's own novels and essays. Blair then traces unacknowledged lines of influence and complex interpretations that Woolf attempted to disavow. While reconsidering Woolf's analysis of women and fiction, Blair simultaneously deepens our appreciation of Woolf's work and advances our understanding of feminine aesthetics.
