As the old man searches for butterflies, Bessy reads from a tattered copy of "The Sicilian Romance" and daydreams about the scenes from the book. The story paints a vivid picture of the rural landscape and the characters who inhabit it. It is meant to be read together with Morrison's other works, "Tales of Mean Streets'' and "A Child of the Jago."

Book Synopsis The Persistence of Victorian Liberalism by : Robert F. Haggard
Download or read book The Persistence of Victorian Liberalism written by Robert F. Haggard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2000-12-30 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Persistence of Victorian Liberalism examines the question of where to locate the ideological break between classical liberalism and the underlying principles of the modern Welfare State. While most historians of 19th century Britain argue that such a shift occurred prior to 1900, Haggard challenges the contention that classical liberalism had been so undermined by this point that the modern Welfare State was largely inevitable. He considers the public discussion of progress, poverty, charity, socialism, and social reform, and he concludes that the vast majority of the Victorian middle and upper classes remained wedded to the tenets of classical liberalism up to the close of the century. In contrast to traditional characterizations, Haggard argues that progress, individualism, and character continued to resonate within Victorian society throughout the late Victorian period. Private philanthropy grew increasingly active as a remedy to urban poverty. The London Socialist movement, the New Unionism, the Independent Labour Party, and the New Liberalism, each proponents of socialistic reforms, found themselves marginalized politically. The key to the social debates of the day was the concept of the deserving versus the undeserving poor. Although the deserving might expect some private or public aid, the undeserving were to be punished for their lack of character. Until this notion was overturned, the Welfare State would remain outside the realm of practical politics.
Book Synopsis Arthur Morrison and the East End by : Eliza Cubitt
Download or read book Arthur Morrison and the East End written by Eliza Cubitt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This, the first critical biography of Arthur Morrison (1863-1945), presents his East End writing as the counter-myth to the cultural production of the East End in late-Victorian realism. Morrison’s works, particularly Tales of Mean Streets (1894) and A Child of the Jago (1896), are often discussed as epitomes of slum fictions of the 1890s as well as prime examples of nineteenth-century realism, but their complex contemporary reception reveals the intricate paradoxes involved in representing the turn-of-the-century city. Arthur Morrison and the East End examines how an understanding of the East End in the Victorian cultural imagination operates in Morrison’s own writing. Engaging with the contemporary vogue for slum fiction, Morrison redressed accounts written by outsiders, positioning himself as uniquely knowledgeable about a place considered unknowable. His work provides a vigorous challenge to the fictionalised East End created by his predecessors, whilst also paying homage to Charles Dickens, George Gissing, Walter Besant and Guy de Maupassant. Examining the London sites which Morrison lived in and wrote about, this book is an excursion not into the Victorian East End, but into the fictions constructed around it.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to Vaughan Williams by : Alain Frogley
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Vaughan Williams written by Alain Frogley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-14 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An icon of British national identity and one of the most widely performed twentieth-century composers, Ralph Vaughan Williams has been as much misunderstood as revered; his international impact and enduring influence on areas as diverse as church music, film scores and popular music has been insufficiently appreciated. This volume brings together a team of leading scholars, examining all areas of the composer's output from new perspectives, and re-evaluating the cultural politics of his lifelong advocacy for the music-making of ordinary people. Surveys of major genres are complemented by chapters exploring such topics as the composer's relationship with the BBC and his studies with Ravel; uniquely, the book also includes specially commissioned interviews with major living composers Peter Maxwell Davies, Piers Hellawell, Nicola Lefanu and Anthony Payne. The Companion is a vital resource for all those interested in this pivotal figure of modern music.
