British salons, with guests such as Byron, Moore, and Thackeray, were veritable hothouses of political and cultural agitation. Using a number of sources - diaries, letters, silver-fork novels, satires, travel writing, Keepsakes, and imaginary conversations - Schmid paints a vivid picture of the British salon between the 1780s and the 1840s.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1887 edition. Excerpt: ... while his century admired him for what were sometimes faults, our own times yet oftener despise him for what are in truth his merits; the eighteenth century praised him because he belonged to the eighteenth century, which was often his misfortune; the nineteenth century derides him because he does not belong to the nineteenth century, which is most often his advantage. Metastasio was great because he wrote not tragedies but operas, at a time and in a country in which the opera was the dramatic form spontaneously created and appreciated by the whole nation, while the tragedy was the dramatic form artificially elaborated and eclectically enjoyed by a few men of letters; because he never shrank from the faults which were inherent in the style which belonged to his day, and strove only after the beauty which it could afford, instead of pruning away inevitable defects and seeking for unattainable merits like his great rival, the fastidious, faultless, pleasureless Alfieri; Metastasio was great because his position as court poet placed at his disposal the best tragic actors of his day, its singers, while Alfieri, the disdainful amateur, was forced to seek his Brutus and his Antigone among the harlequins and columbines of the comic stage; Metastasio was great because, being himself weak and characterless, his unerring instinct, his psychological imagination, was free to create the most varied and well-defined types, while Alfieri made his men and women only a curtailed and lifeless copy of his own strong self. But music, as it became more boldly multiform, mangled Metastasio's plays, and finally wholly rejected them, so that at length they disappeared from every stage in Italy. The position of Court librettist at Vienna became a source of...

First published in 1986, this book examines poverty and changing attitudes towards the poor and charity across England, France and Italy. It discusses the causes of poverty and the distinctions between the poor and the class-conscious proletariat. Taking early nineteenth-century Italy as a special study, it uses the exceptionally rich documentary sources from this time to examine such issues as charity, repression, the reasons why families suffered poverty and what strategies they adopted for survival. In this study, Stuart Woolf takes full account of recent work in historical demography and in sociological studies of poverty and the welfare state to produce this original and thoughtful work. This book will be of interest to those studying the history of poverty, class and the welfare state.

British Sociability In The Long Eighteenth Century written by Valérie Capdeville and has been published by Studies in the Eighteenth Century this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2019 with France categories.

The study of sociability in the long eighteenth century has long been dominated by the example of France. In this innovative collection, we see how a distinctively British model of sociability developed in the period from the Restoration of Charles II to the early nineteenth century through a complex process of appropriation, emulation and resistance to what was happening in France and other parts of Europe. The contributors use a wide range of sources - from city plans to letter-writing manuals, from the writings of Edmund Burke to poems and essays about the social practices of the tea table, and a variety of methodological approaches to explore philosophical, political and social aspects of the emergence of British sociability in this period. They create a rounded picture of sociability as it happened in public, private and domestic settings - in Masonic lodges and radical clubs, in painting academies and private houses - and compare specific examples and settings with equivalents in France, bringing out for instance the distinctively homo-social and predominantly masculine form of British sociability, the role of sociability within a wider national identity still finding its way after the upheaval of civil war and revolution in the seventeenth century, and the almost unique capacity of the British model of sociability to benefit from its own apparent tensions and contradictions. VAL RIE CAPDEVILLE is Senior Lecturer in British Civilisation at the University of Paris 13. ALAIN KERHERV is Professor of British Studies at the Facult des Lettres et Sciences Humaines Victor Segalan, University of West Brittany (UBO Brest). br/>CONTRIBUTORS: Pierre-Yves Beaurepaire, Val rie Capdeville, Michle Cohen, Norbert Col, Annick Cossic, Brian Cowan, R my Duthille, Markman Ellis, Allan Ingram, Emrys Jones, Alain Kerhev , Elisabeth Martichou, Marie-Madeleine Martinet, Ian Newman, Jane Rendall

The open access publication of this book was financially supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation. This volume sheds new light on modern theories of natural law through the lens of the fragmented political contexts of Italy in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the dramatic changes of the times. From the age of reforms, through revolution and the ‘Risorgimento’, the unification movement which ended with the creation of the unified Kingdom of Italy in 1861, we see a move from natural law and the law of nations to international law, whose teaching was introduced in Italian universities of the newly created Kingdom. The essays collected here show that natural law was not only the subject of a highly codified academic teaching, but also provided a broader conceptual and philosophical frame underlying the ‘science of man’. Natural law is also a language wherein reform programmes of education and of politics have taken form, affecting a variety of discourses and literary genres. Contributors are: Alberto Clerici, Vittor Ivo Comparato, Giuseppina De Giudici, Frédéric Ieva, Girolamo Imbruglia, Francesca Iurlaro, Serena Luzzi, Elisabetta Fiocchi Malaspina, Emanuele Salerno, Gabriella Silvestrini, Antonio Trampus.

John Cleland is among the most scandalous figures in British literary history, both celebrated and attacked as a pioneer of pornographic writing in English. His first novel, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, or Fanny Hill, is one of the enduring literary creations of the eighteenth century, despite over two hundred years of legal prohibition. Yet the full range of his work is still too little known. In this study, Hal Gladfelder combines groundbreaking archival research into Cleland’s tumultuous life with incisive readings of his sometimes extravagant, sometimes perverse body of work, positioning him as a central figure in the development of the novel and in the construction of modern notions of authorial and sexual identity in eighteenth-century England. Rather than a traditional biography, Fanny Hill in Bombay presents a case history of a renegade authorial persona, based on published works, letters, private notes, and newly discovered legal testimony. It retraces Cleland’s career from his years as a young colonial striver with the East India Company in Bombay through periods of imprisonment for debt and of estrangement from collaborators and family, shedding light on his paradoxical status as literary insider and social outcast. As novelist, critic, journalist, and translator, Cleland engaged with the most challenging intellectual currents of his era yet at the same time was vilified as a pornographer, atheist, and sodomite. Reconnecting Cleland’s writing to its literary and social milieu, this study offers new insights into the history of authorship and the literary marketplace and contributes to contemporary debates on pornography, censorship, the history of sexuality, and the contested role of literature in eighteenth-century culture.
