Excerpt from book: My nephew Dewes dined w1 me, and staid till his concert hour, and I was well pleased no other visitor came: nothing is so soothing as a single sensible kind friend's conversation when the mind is in a sensitive state, who is also interested in the subject that occupys (I may say, engrosses) our thoughts. This evening I expect, besides our dear Dss, Lady Stamford, Miss Hamilton, and some chance etceteras. How kind and considerate it was in Mr. Port not to let you into the. secret of the infection spreading it was time eno' for you to be prepared with it before you reach'd home. I think George can hardly escape it, Mrs. Dclany to Mrs. Port, of Ham. St. James's Place, 1st March, 1781. Our dear girl is perfectly well and perfectly good, and at this moment very busy with Mr. Snow, who has requested to alter his time, so he comes on Thursdays at 8 in the morning, and Tuesdays and Saturdays at 9, which suits just as well. The journal of 2 days past.?Tuesday morning no body; in the evening, my never failing friend and Lady Stamford, Mrs. Sand and her son; at past nine in flounced Lady Clarendon and Lady Charlotte, wch honour might have been spared at such an undue hour. Yesterday morning Mr. Bolton began with G. M. A; at 12 Mrs. Sandd and her bror T. C. had the Dss's coach to go to Chelsea to see Mrs. Chapone, and took my sweet girl with them; she and I dined tete-a-tcte, and before apple pye came the Dss of P1 made me a visit in her way fromher daughter's home, but would not partake of our lenten fare. At 5 came Mr. French; I did not expect him, but thought it too innocent an employment to put him off, and he gave her a long lesson for missing one on Monday.

Download or read book Mrs Delany written by Clarissa Campbell Orr and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive biography of Mary Granville Delany - the artist and court insider whose flower collages, in particular, continue to inspire widespread admiration Mrs Delany is best remembered for her captivating paper collages of flowers, but her artistic flourishing came late in life. This nuanced, deeply researched biography pulls back the lens to place Delany's art in the broader context of her family life, relationships with royalty, and her endeavor to live as an independent woman. Clarissa Campbell Orr, a noted authority on the eighteenth century court, charts Mary Delany's development from a young woman at the heart of elite circles to beloved godmother and celebrated collagist. Orr traces the varied connections Mary Delany fostered throughout her life and which influenced her intellectual and artistic development: she was friends with prominent figures such as Methodist leader, John Wesley, composer G. F. Handel, the writer Jonathan Swift, and England's leading patron of science, Margaret Bentinck, Duchess of Portland. Mrs Delany reveals its subject to be far more than a widow befriended by George III and Queen Charlotte; she is, instead, restored to her proper place in the era's aristocratic society -and as a ground-breaking artist.

Book Synopsis Women of Quality by : Ingrid H. Tague
Download or read book Women of Quality written by Ingrid H. Tague and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of the interaction between ideology and experience in the lives of English women during a period of great social and intellectual change. Focusing on the complex relationship between discourse and experience, Women of Quality examines the role of gender in aristocratic women's daily lives during a period of significant cultural change. In the years followingthe Glorious Revolution, didactic writers and other social critics responded to a perceived crisis of gender relations by creating a new discourse of 'natural' feminine behavior in opposition to the luxury and decadence of fashionable women. Modern scholars have often portrayed this agenda as representing the rise of a middle-class ideology, but Ingrid Tague argues that the new rhetoric held enormous appeal for those women who would appear to be its greatest targets: wealthy, fashionable 'women of quality'. Using the correspondence and diaries of these women, Tague traces the ways in which they adopted, adapted, and exploited ideals of femininity. In their hands, feminine values could become powerful tools that enabled them to compete for status and reputation. Ironically, by identifying femininity with private, trivial concerns, these ideals created unique opportunities for elite women. Female participation in informal social and political activities placed women at the heart of aristocratic power in the early eighteenth century, even as they employed the language of wifely subordination and domesticity. Ingrid Tague is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Denver.

Book Synopsis Memoirs of the Court of George III by : Michael Kassler
Download or read book Memoirs of the Court of George III written by Michael Kassler and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-31 with total page 1631 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George III was one of the longest reigning British monarchs, ruling over most of the English speaking world from 1760 to 1820. Despite his longevity, George’s reign was one of turmoil. Britain lost its colonies in the War of American Independence and the European political system changed dramatically in the wake of the French Revolution. Closer to home, problems with the King’s health led to a constitutional crisis. Charlotte Papendiek’s memoirs cover the first thirty years of George III’s reign, while Mary Delany’s letters provide a vivid portrait of her years at Windsor. Lucy Kennedy was another long-serving member of court whose previously unpublished diary provides a great deal of new detail about the King’s illness. Finally, the Queen herself provides further insights in the only two extant volumes of her diaries, published here for the first time. The edition will be invaluable to scholars of Georgian England as well as those researching the French and American Revolutions and the history and politics of the Regency period more widely.
Book Synopsis Material Literacy in 18th-Century Britain by : Serena Dyer
Download or read book Material Literacy in 18th-Century Britain written by Serena Dyer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 557 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eighteenth century has been hailed for its revolution in consumer culture, but Material Literacy in Eighteenth-Century Britain repositions Britain as a nation of makers. It brings new attention to eighteenth-century craftswomen and men with its focus on the material knowledge possessed not only by professional artisans and amateur makers, but also by skilled consumers. This edited collection gathers together a group of interdisciplinary scholars working in the fields of art history, history, literature, and museum studies to unearth the tactile and tacit knowledge that underpinned fashion, tailoring, and textile production. It invites us into the workshops, drawing rooms, and backrooms of a broad range of creators, and uncovers how production and tacit knowledge extended beyond the factories and machines which dominate industrial histories. This book illuminates, for the first time, the material literacies learnt, enacted, and understood by British producers and consumers. The skills required for sewing, embroidering, and the textile arts were possessed by a large proportion of the British population: men, women and children, professional and amateur alike. Building on previous studies of shoppers and consumption in the period, as well as narratives of manufacture, these essays document the multiplicity of small producers behind Britain's consumer revolution, reshaping our understanding of the dynamics between making and objects, consumption and production. It demonstrates how material knowledge formed an essential part of daily life for eighteenth-century Britons. Craft technique, practice, and production, the contributors show, constituted forms of tactile languages that joined makers together, whether they produced objects for profit or pleasure.
