  • Thinking Through Style

    Non-Fiction Prose of the Long Nineteenth Century

    Modifié par Michael D. Hurley, Marcus Waithe ...
    What is 'style', and how does it relate to thought in language? It has often been treated as something merely linguistic, independent of thought, ornamental; stylishness for its own sake. Or else it has been said to subserve thought, by mimicking, delineating, or heightening ideas that are already expressed in the words. This ambitious and timely book explores a third, more radical possibility in ... En savoir plus

  • The Labour of Literature in Britain and France, 1830-1910

    Authorial Work Ethics

    Modifié par Marcus Waithe, Claire White ...
    Collections series Literature, Cultural and Media Studies (R0)
    This volume examines the anxieties that caused many nineteenth-century writers to insist on literature as a laboured and labouring enterprise. Following Isaac D’Israeli’s gloss on Jean de La Bruyère, it asks, in particular, whether writing should be ‘called working’. Whereas previous studies have focused on national literatures in isolation, this volume demonstrates the two-way traffic between ... En savoir plus

  • The Past Is a Foreign Country – Revisited

    par David Lowenthal ...
    The past remains essential - and inescapable. A quarter-century after the publication of his classic account of man's attitudes to his past, David Lowenthal revisits how we celebrate, expunge, contest and domesticate the past to serve present needs. He shows how nostalgia and heritage now pervade every facet of public and popular culture. History embraces nature and the cosmos as well as humanity. ... En savoir plus

  • William Morris

    Romantic to Revolutionary

    par E.P. Thompson ...
    William Morris—the great 19th-century craftsman, designer, poet and writer—remains a monumental figure whose influence resonates powerfully today. As an intellectual (and author of the seminal utopian News from Nowhere), his concern with artistic and human values led him to cross what he called the “river of fire” and become a committed socialist—committed not to some theoretical formula but to ...
