Download or read book The Letters of Francis Jeffrey to Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle written by Francis Jeffrey and published by Pickering & Chatto Publishers. This book was released on 2008-09-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition makes available letters from Francis Jeffrey (1773–1850) to Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881) and Jane Welsh Carlyle (1801–1866) for the first time. The letters present a compelling personal and intellectual narrative of nineteenth-century Britain. Francis Jeffrey met Thomas Carlyle in February 1827 and an intense friendship developed. In the republic of letters, the two men could not have been further apart. Jeffrey, editor of the pro-Whig Edinburgh Review clashed with Carlyle, the sage of Victorian Britain. Their exchanges represent the conflict between the inheritance of the Scottish Enlightenment and a newer set of Victorian values. However, their friendship survived years of mutual exasperation. Carlyle later reminisced that Jeffrey 'seemed bent on converting me from what he called my "German Mysticism" - back merely, as I could conceive, into dead Edinburgh Whiggism, Scepticism and Materialism'. Jeffrey's side of the extant correspondence is held at the National Library of Scotland. The body of letters has never been transcribed or published in its entirety and is available here for the first time. The Carlyles' letters are available in The Collected Letters of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle (Duke University Press). The Pickering & Chatto edition is intended to complement this edition and is carefully arranged and cross-referenced so that the two resources support each other. It benefits from a general introduction, headnotes, endnotes and an index. It will be essential for those working in Carlyle Studies, Romanticism, Victorian Studies, Scottish Studies, and the History of Publishing.

Book Synopsis Jane Welsh Carlyle and Her Victorian World by : Kathy Chamberlain
Download or read book Jane Welsh Carlyle and Her Victorian World written by Kathy Chamberlain and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Intelligent, witty, thoroughly engaging . . . the most fascinating biography I have read in years.” —The Minneapolis Star Tribune She was one of the all-time great letter writers, according to Virginia Woolf, but as the wife of Victorian literary celebrity Thomas Carlyle, Jane Welsh Carlyle has been much overlooked. In this “hugely satisfying” new biography (The Spectator), Kathy Chamberlain brings Jane out of her husband’s shadow, focusing on Carlyle as a remarkable woman and writer in her own right. Caught between her own literary aspirations and Victorian society’s oppression of women, Jane Welsh Carlyle hoped to move beyond domestic life and become a respected published writer. As she and her husband moved in exclusive London literary circles, mingling with noted authors, poets, and European revolutionaries, Carlyle created and reported to her correspondents on her rich, rewarding life in her Chelsea home—until her husband’s infatuation with a wealthy, imposing aristocratic society hostess threw her life into chaos. Through dedicated research and unparalleled access to Jane Welsh Carlyle’s private correspondence, Chamberlain presents an elegant portrait of an extraordinary woman. “Sparkles with the wit and intelligence of the subject herself . . . If you think, as I originally did, that you have no particular interest in the life of Jane Carlyle, read this—you will be captivated.” —Elizabeth Strout, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lucy by the Sea “Compelling . . . illuminates the outwardly decorous but often inwardly tempestuous lives of Victorian women.” —The New Yorker “Chamberlain, Jane’s latest and incomparably best biographer . . . gives us, at last, a Jane Carlyle who seems thrillingly alive.” —Christian Science Monitor

Book Synopsis William Maginn and the British Press by : David E. Latané
Download or read book William Maginn and the British Press written by David E. Latané and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first scholarly treatment of the life of William Maginn (1794-1842), David Latané’s meticulously researched biography follows Maginn’s life from his early days in Ireland through his career in Paris and London as political journalist and writer and finally to his sad decline and incarceration in debtor’s prison. A founding editor of the daily Standard (1827), Maginn was a prodigal author and editor. He was an early and influential contributor to Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine, and a writer from the Tory side for The Age, New Times, English Gentleman, Representative, John Bull, and many other papers. In 1830, he launched Fraser’s Magazine for Town and Country, the early venue for such Victorians as Thackeray and Carlyle, and he was intimately involved with the poet 'L.E.L.' In 1837, he wrote the prologue for the first issue of Bentley’s Miscellany, edited by Dickens. Through painstaking archival research into Maginn’s surviving letters and manuscripts, as well as those of his associates, Latané restores Maginn to his proper place in the history of nineteenth-century print culture. His book is essential reading for nineteenth-century scholars, historians of the book and periodical, and anyone interested in questions of authorship in the period.

Book Synopsis Victorian Turns, NeoVictorian Returns by : Penny Gay
Download or read book Victorian Turns, NeoVictorian Returns written by Penny Gay and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-27 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian Turns, NeoVictorian Returns: Essays on Fiction and Culture brings together essays by scholars of international reputation in nineteenth-century British literature. Encompassing new work on Victorian writers and subjects as well as later readings, rewritings, and adaptations, the two-part arrangement of this collection highlights an ongoing dialogue. Part One: Victorian Turns focuses principally on some of the major novelists of the period—George Eliot, Charles Dickens, Charlotte Brontë—while placing them in a wide cultural context, in particular that provided by the intellectual journals to which many of the novelists contributed. Reflecting the diversity of debate in the Victorian period, contributors’ essays range across key topics of the day, including the “woman question”, class relations, language, science, work, celebrity, and travel. English writers’ consciousness of the challenging contemporary developments in French literature forms a significant and persistent theme. In Part Two: NeoVictorian Returns, the rich and varied afterlife of Victorianism is touched on. NeoVictorianism in contemporary literature and film demonstrates an ongoing and productive engagement with an age which established the social and cultural directions of the modern world. In rewritings, appropriations, and colonial writings-back, and in the persistent power of nineteenth-century images and stories in modern cinema, the period’s social, cultural and political modernity continues to flourish.
