Book Synopsis The Enlightenment and the Book by : Richard B. Sher
Download or read book The Enlightenment and the Book written by Richard B. Sher and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 842 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late eighteenth century witnessed an explosion of intellectual activity in Scotland by such luminaries as David Hume, Adam Smith, Hugh Blair, William Robertson, Adam Ferguson, James Boswell, and Robert Burns. And the books written by these seminal thinkers made a significant mark during their time in almost every field of polite literature and higher learning throughout Britain, Europe, and the Americas. In this magisterial history, Richard B. Sher breaks new ground for our understanding of the Enlightenment and the forgotten role of publishing during that period. The Enlightenment and the Book seeks to remedy the common misperception that such classics as The Wealth of Nations and The Life of Samuel Johnson were written by authors who eyed their publishers as minor functionaries in their profession. To the contrary, Sher shows how the process of bookmaking during the late eighteenth-century involved a deeply complex partnership between authors and their publishers, one in which writers saw the book industry not only as pivotal in the dissemination of their ideas, but also as crucial to their dreams of fame and monetary gain. Similarly, Sher demonstrates that publishers were involved in the project of bookmaking in order to advance human knowledge as well as to accumulate profits. The Enlightenment and the Book explores this tension between creativity and commerce that still exists in scholarly publishing today. Lavishly illustrated and elegantly conceived, it will be must reading for anyone interested in the history of the book or the production and diffusion of Enlightenment thought.

Book Synopsis Beyond the Household by : Cynthia A. Kierner
Download or read book Beyond the Household written by Cynthia A. Kierner and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about the "southern lady," that pervasive and enduring icon of antebellum regional identity. But how did the lady get on her pedestal--and were the lives of white southern women always so different from those of their northern contemporaries? In her ambitious new book, Cynthia A. Kierner charts the evolution of the lives of white southern women through the colonial, revolutionary, and early republican eras. Using the lady on her pedestal as the end--rather than the beginning--of her story, she shows how gentility, republican political ideals, and evangelical religion successively altered southern gender ideals and thereby forced women to reshape their public roles. Kierner concludes that southern women continually renegotiated their access to the public sphere--and that even the emergence of the frail and submissive lady as icon did not obliterate women's public role.Kierner draws on a strong overall command of early American and women's history and adds to it research in letters, diaries, newspapers, secular and religious periodicals, travelers' accounts, etiquette manuals, and cookery books. Focusing on the issues of work, education, and access to the public sphere, she explores the evolution of southern gender ideals in an important transitional era. Specifically, she asks what kinds of changes occurred in women's relation to the public sphere from 1700 to 1835. In answering this major question, she makes important links and comparisons, across both time and region, and creates a chronology of social and intellectual change that addresses many key questions in the history of women, the South, and early America.
Book Synopsis Reading These United States by : Keri Holt
Download or read book Reading These United States written by Keri Holt and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading These United States explores the relationship between early American literature and federalism in the early decades of the republic. As a federal republic, the United States constituted an unusual model of national unity, defined by the representation of its variety rather than its similarities. Taking the federal structure of the nation as a foundational point, Keri Holt examines how popular print—including almanacs, magazines, satires, novels, and captivity narratives—encouraged citizens to recognize and accept the United States as a union of differences. Challenging the prevailing view that early American print culture drew citizens together by establishing common bonds of language, sentiment, and experience, she argues that early American literature helped define the nation, paradoxically, by drawing citizens apart—foregrounding, rather than transcending, the regional, social, and political differences that have long been assumed to separate them. The book offers a new approach for studying print nationalism that transforms existing arguments about the political and cultural function of print in the early United States, while also offering a provocative model for revising the concept of the nation itself. Holt also breaks new ground by incorporating an analysis of literature into studies of federalism and connects the literary politics of the early republic with antebellum literary politics—a bridge scholars often struggle to cross.
Book Synopsis Writing the American Classics by : James Barbour
Download or read book Writing the American Classics written by James Barbour and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays describes the genesis of ten classic works of American literature. Using biographical, cultural, and manuscript evidence, the contributors tell the "stories of stories," plotting the often curious and always interesting ways in which notable American books took shape in a writer's mind. The genetic approach taken in these essays derives from a curiosity, and sometimes a feeling of awe, about how a work of literature came to exist -- what motivated its creation, informed its vision, urged its completion. It is just that sort of wonder that first brings some people to love writers and their books. Originally published in 1990.

This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Monthly Magazine, Vol. 124 Whatever additions were made to our further acquaintance with the coast of north-west America after the time of Cook was accomplished by the fur companies; but after the independence of the United States had been acknowledged, the Americans engaged actively in the trade of the North Pacific, and Captain Grey, one of their traders, h round Queen Charlotte's Island, he gave it the name of Washington, although it had been named and explored by afterwards by Duncan, both English navigators, some years previously. In 1790 two vessels, the Discovery and the Chatham, were des etched, under the command of Captain Vancouver and Lieutenant Broug ton, on the authority of a convention with the Spaniards, to receive the cession of the territory from their oficers in the Pacific, and, afteran examination of the coast eastward, the navigators proceeded to take 'on, in the name of the King of England, of all that part of cw Albion, from 39 de 20 min. South latitude, and 286 deg. 26 min. East longitude, and they cirhtened the territory New Georgia. It is im t to remark that the territory so defined includes the most souther y tributary to the Columbia river, commonly known as Lewis River, from its having been subsequently cred by an American traveller. The mouth of the Columbia was t discovered in 1775, by Quadra, a Spaniard, who denominated it Heceta, and the River of Ascension was explored by Galeano Valdez and Vancouver, but the ap llation of Columbia was given to it by the American Gray; and e merit of exploring the interior - but that long after the Spanish possessions had been established as British territory - is due to the Americans Lewis and Clarke, who crossed the Rocky Mountains in 1805. This, it is manifest, no more establishes a right of possession by discovery than if a Chinaman was, when gold-exploring, to discover a new tributary to the Murray, in Victoria, and found upon it a claim for China to a part of Central Australia. Certain it is, however, that this journe of exploration was followed by the foundation of the American establis ment of Astoria on the south side of the Columbia, within what was then British territory, while the Canadian traders founded Fort Geo and Fort Vancouver, the former situated also on the south side of t e river, and eight miles from the sea, and the latter eighty miles up the river from Fort George.

Book Synopsis A Nation of Speechifiers by : Carolyn Eastman
Download or read book A Nation of Speechifiers written by Carolyn Eastman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-06-15 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decades after the American Revolution, inhabitants of the United States began to shape a new national identity. Telling the story of this messy yet formative process, Carolyn Eastman argues that ordinary men and women gave meaning to American nationhood and national belonging by first learning to imagine themselves as members of a shared public. She reveals that the creation of this American public—which only gradually developed nationalistic qualities—took place as men and women engaged with oratory and print media not only as readers and listeners but also as writers and speakers. Eastman paints vibrant portraits of the arenas where this engagement played out, from the schools that instructed children in elocution to the debating societies, newspapers, and presses through which different groups jostled to define themselves—sometimes against each other. Demonstrating the previously unrecognized extent to which nonelites participated in the formation of our ideas about politics, manners, and gender and race relations, A Nation of Speechifiers provides an unparalleled genealogy of early American identity.
Book Synopsis Han Yong-un & Yi Kwang-su by : Beongcheon Yu
Download or read book Han Yong-un & Yi Kwang-su written by Beongcheon Yu and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "No other modern Korean writers living under Japanese rule (1910-1945) experienced the history of their country more intimately and intensely than did Han Yong-un and Yi Kwang-su, for they were more than writers. Han was an eminent Buddhist monk, and Yi was an equally prominent national leader. Their careers crossed often, involving politics, journalism, literature, and religion. And yet they lived a world apart, pursuing opposite paths. Han was revered for his fierce commitment to Korean independence and his single volume of poems, The Silence of My Beloved. Yi, despite all his contributions to the development of modern Korean literature, particularly his first novel Heartless, has been branded a traitor for his collaboration with the Japanese. Even during their lifetimes both attained a mythical status and have since become legends of modern Korea." "In this first book-length study of Han and Yi in English, Beongcheon Yu seeks to demythify them and reassess their achievements as writers. He surveys their careers, reviewing significant events and patterns in their lives, and then confronts their literary works, weighing whatever permanence they may claim. Yu's introduction provides a historical background of modern Korea, and his conclusion brings Han and Yi together, pairing them as has never been done, in an attempt to understand them more clearly as men and as writers." "As is evident in their biographical sketches, Han and Yi had full careers - so colorful and fascinating that they constantly disrupt our proper critical attention to their writings. Yu, in his deliberate contrast of their literary achievements, provides a study of these two highly influential men that is informative and stimulating to general readers and at the same time provocative and challenging to specialists."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
