Book Synopsis English Hymns by : Samuel Willoughby Duffield
Download or read book English Hymns written by Samuel Willoughby Duffield and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Hymns: Their Authors and History I have written this Preface, in waking and dreaming moments, a good many times. It is borne in upon me - as the Quakers say - that the Courteous Reader and I must make each other's acquaintance in the first person singular before we are separated by the editorial We.' I would not have him mislike me for my complexion, or fancy that, because this is a somewhat elaborate - and, I hope, somewhat accurate - treatise on the Authors and History of Eng lish Hymns, it must therefore be dry reading and useless to all except the musty grubbers among old hymn - books. Nor would I have him - or her, for I know as many women who love hymns as I do men -think me capable of imposing on his credulity with every sort Of ill-grounded or sentimental tradition concerning the origin or the use of these Hymns. The size of the present volume shows what has been omitted as well as in cluded. And as this is in no sense either a work of fiction or of dead statistics, I-have confined myself to the truth as I found it, and have mainly restrained a desire to indulge in the Comparison of Texts and the History of Alterations. I suppose I might add, too, that I have only plucked a few flowers from the outer limits of that great garden of Christian Biography wherein grow Solomon's rose, Christ's lily, Chaucer's daisy, and Robert Robinson's saffron-crocus.

Book Synopsis Her Heart Can See by : Edith Waldvogel Blumhofer
Download or read book Her Heart Can See written by Edith Waldvogel Blumhofer and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005-05-12 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fanny J. Crosby (1820-1915) was the most prolific of all American hymn writers. Having lost her sight in infancy through a doctor's negligence, Fanny went on to compose more than 9,000 hymns, as well as various other songs, cantatas, and lyrical productions. Crosby's hymns, including such all-time favorites as "Blessed Assurance," continue to be sung around the world. She was also involved with New York City's rescue missions and with other benevolent efforts. She rubbed shoulders with the likes of Henry Clay, Grover Cleveland, Winfield Scott, Dwight L. Moody, Ira Sankey, Jenny Lind, P.T. Barnum, and many other famous figures who people these pages. Drawing on primary sources, including thousands of unpublished manuscripts, Blumhofer sorts fact from fiction in the life of this remarkable nineteenth-century northeastern Protestant woman, in the process showing why "this diminutive woman" was so beloved.--From publisher description.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY • ONE OF ESQUIRE’S BEST BIOGRAPHIES OF ALL TIME General Alex Dumas is a man almost unknown today, yet his story is strikingly familiar—because his son, the novelist Alexandre Dumas, used his larger-than-life feats as inspiration for such classics as The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers. But, hidden behind General Dumas's swashbuckling adventures was an even more incredible secret: he was the son of a black slave—who rose higher in the white world than any man of his race would before our own time. Born in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), Alex Dumas made his way to Paris, where he rose to command armies at the height of the Revolution—until he met an implacable enemy he could not defeat. The Black Count is simultaneously a riveting adventure story, a lushly textured evocation of 18th-century France, and a window into the modern world’s first multi-racial society. TIME magazine called The Black Count "one of those quintessentially human stories of strength and courage that sheds light on the historical moment that made it possible." But it is also a heartbreaking story of the enduring bonds of love between a father and son.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romantic Woman It was in the middle of dinner at Saracens on the tenth of September two years ago. They were on their way home, the four Americans, and in two separate couples had descended on us, all dreadfully unaware of the surprise in store for them, the surprise of finding each other. Ruffles had been safely staring at Phyllis and Louise for some moments through the branching candelabra. He ended his scrutiny by wickedly rolling his eyes in my direction and saying with more than usual insolence: "How well you imitate us." "And how hard we try," I murmured, saying with fatal promptitude what was bitterly in my mind. "What's that?" growled Jim. Ruffles is accusing us of imitating his own, that is, their own decadence - " "Oh, I say!" put in Ruffles deprecatingly, cocking an eyebrow. Jim glared. I expected him to defend his nation, but he was unlike himself that night. "Only the women," he brought out after a pause with defiant brutality, daring me to snub him for his bad taste in criticizing his wife. "Yes, I meant the women." And then they fixed each other with an animosity that seemed to suggest the stirring of dangerous depths.

Book Synopsis The Romance of the Lyric in Nineteenth-Century Women's Poetry by : Lee Christine O'Brien
Download or read book The Romance of the Lyric in Nineteenth-Century Women's Poetry written by Lee Christine O'Brien and published by University of Delaware. This book was released on 2012-10-05 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Romance of the Lyric in Nineteenth-Century Women’s Poetry: Experiments in Form offers a new account of the nature of the lyric as nineteenth-century women poets developed the form. It offers fresh assessments of the imaginative and aesthetic complexity of women’s poetry. The monograph seeks to redefine the range and cultural significance of women’s writing using the work of poets who have not, heretofore, been part of critical accounts of nineteenth-century lyric poetry. These new voices are set beside new readings of the poetry of established figures: for example, Christina Rossetti’s Goblin Market and Augusta Webster’s “Medea in Athens” and “Circe." The monograph draws substantially on the poetry of Rosamund Marriott Watson – who was lost to literary history before the restoration of her oeuvre through the scholarly and critical work of Professor Linda K. Hughes – to make the case that once neglected and lost voices provide new ways of determining the cultural centrality of women and the poetry they produced in one of the richest periods of poetic experimentation in the Western literary tradition. This monograph contends that Watson’s poetry and prose provide new ways of analyzing the complex and frequently transgressive nature of the lyric engagement of women with folklore and myth and with the growing understanding in the nineteenth century of the fragmented, fluid self in general and of the writer in particular.
Book Synopsis Women Writing Music in Late Eighteenth-Century England by : Leslie Ritchie
Download or read book Women Writing Music in Late Eighteenth-Century England written by Leslie Ritchie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining new musicology trends, formal musical analysis, and literary feminist recovery work, Leslie Ritchie examines rare poetic, didactic, fictional, and musical texts written by women in late eighteenth-century Britain. She finds instances of and resistance to contemporary perceptions of music as a form of social control in works by Maria Barth mon, Harriett Abrams, Mary Worgan, Susanna Rowson, Hannah Cowley, and Amelia Opie, among others. Relating women's musical compositions and writings about music to theories of music's function in the formation of female subjectivities during the latter half of the eighteenth century, Ritchie draws on the work of cultural theorists and cultural historians, as well as feminist scholars who have explored the connection between femininity and performance. Whether crafting works consonant with societal ideals of charitable, natural, and national order, or re-imagining their participation in these musical aids to social harmony, women contributed significantly to the formation of British cultural identity. Ritchie's interdisciplinary book will interest scholars working in a range of fields, including gender studies, musicology, eighteenth-century British literature, and cultural studies.
