Non appena ereditato il titolo, il visconte Geoffrey Astor si sente in dovere di garantire un futuro alla famiglia del suo defunto predecessore, sposando una delle tre figlie. Ma considerandola una formalità che non influirà sulla propria vita, non si cura neppure di scegliere. Così ad accettare di sposarlo è Arabella, diciottenne timida e poco appariscente, che per lui prova ammirazione e timore reverenziale. Da buona consorte, Arabella si impegna ad adempiere ai doveri coniugali, fino a quando scopre che il marito ha continuato a mantenere un'amante. E allora Geoffrey dovrà rivedere molte delle proprie convinzioni, se non vorrà perdere l'amore di una moglie che ha iniziato ad apprezzare davvero...

These include an academic debate, a scientific tract, an oration, an Enlightenment journal, and a fashion magazine. Analysis focuses on the specific ways in which the exigencies of the 'new science' and the burgeoning Enlightenment project founded on rational civil law, secular moral philosophy, and utilitarian social ethics forced a transformation in the formal controversy about women."--BOOK JACKET.

Presente: Ellie è una ragazza felice della vita che ha. È soddisfatta di quello che ha ottenuto fino ad ora, dato che le ha permesso di avere una certa stabilità economica e di aiutare a pagare gli studi di sua sorella minore. Non le interessa l’amore perché fin da piccola ha visto il male che può fare a una donna consegnare il proprio cuore a qualcuno: sua madre è stata una donna infelice per colpa di suo padre, un uomo che ha amato con tutto il cuore e che alla fine l’ha distrutta. Ma il destino ha una sorpresa in serbo per lei e, quando meno se l’aspetta, giunge in un’epoca che non è la sua, a casa di un uomo che non ha mai visto, con un carattere rozzo e autoritario. Lei ha solo una lettera in mano, destinata a lui, in cui lo informano che lei è la sposa che alcuni mesi prima ha chiesto per corrispondenza. 1880: Phillip è un uomo responsabile, lavoratore e molto bello, che vive da solo e sente che ha bisogno di una sposa, una donna che si occupi della casa e di lui, che sia obbediente e che faccia tutto quello che lui le dice; qualcuno di forte, che possa dargli figli sani e che non fugga alla prima difficoltà. Quando si accorge che quella donna magra e vestita in modo volgare è la sposa che gli hanno mandato, si infuria, e vuole cacciarla di casa e rispedirla nella sua città, ma qualcosa di lei tocca il suo cuore, e gli fa cambiare idea. Forse con un po’ d’istruzione lei potrà diventare la donna che lui cerca. Ma la cosa che più lo preoccupa è che lei sembra non stare bene di mente, dato che continua a dire che viene dal futuro. Ellie desidera solo andarsene di lì, e Phillip desidera solo una sposa obbediente. Quale sarà il finale di questa storia?

In the age of the Grand Tour, foreigners flocked to Italy to gawk at its ruins and paintings, enjoy its salons and cafés, attend the opera, and revel in their own discovery of its past. But they also marveled at the people they saw, both male and female. In an era in which castrati were "rock stars," men served women as cicisbei, and dandified Englishmen became macaroni, Italy was perceived to be a place where men became women. The great publicity surrounding female poets, journalists, artists, anatomists, and scientists, and the visible roles for such women in salons, academies, and universities in many Italian cities also made visitors wonder whether women had become men. Such images, of course, were stereotypes, but they were nonetheless grounded in a reality that was unique to the Italian peninsula. This volume illuminates the social and cultural landscape of eighteenth-century Italy by exploring how questions of gender in music, art, literature, science, and medicine shaped perceptions of Italy in the age of the Grand Tour.

Performed throughout Europe during the 1700s, Italian heroic opera, or opera seria, was the century’s most significant musical art form, profoundly engaging such figures as Handel, Haydn, and Mozart. Opera and Sovereignty is the first book to address this genre as cultural history, arguing that eighteenth-century opera seria must be understood in light of the period’s social and political upheavals. Taking an anthropological approach to European music that’s as bold as it is unusual, Martha Feldman traces Italian opera’s shift from a mythical assertion of sovereignty, with its festive forms and rituals, to a dramatic vehicle that increasingly questioned absolute ideals. She situates these transformations against the backdrop of eighteenth-century Italian culture to show how opera seria both reflected and affected the struggles of rulers to maintain sovereignty in the face of a growing public sphere. In so doing, Feldman explains why the form had such great international success and how audience experiences of the period differed from ours today. Ambitiously interdisciplinary, Opera and Sovereignty will appeal not only to scholars of music and anthropology, but also to those interested in theater, dance, and the history of the Enlightenment.

Gender, Mediation, and Popular Education in Venice, 1760–1830 examines how women with enough cultural capital could turn their identity as representatives of "the public" – those on the receiving end of education – to their advantage, producing knowledge under the guise of relaying it. Author Susan Dalton looks at the question of how elite women turned their reputation for ignorance into an opportunity to establish themselves as authors at the dawn of the nineteenth century in Venice. Many literary figures saw women as a group in need of education. By deploying essentialist understandings of femininity, whereby women possessed superior moral virtue but deficient rationality, these women entered the world of print as cultural mediators, identified by contemporaries as key players in the social projects of public education and moral edification central to the European Enlightenment. Focussing on Isabella Teotochi Albrizzi and Giustina Renier Michiel, both renowned Venetian authors, Dalton introduces two well-known Italian women of letters to English-speaking scholars, re-evaluates the impact of their writing in Italy and raises questions about female authorship across Europe, broadens our conceptions of gender norms, and enriches our knowledge of a little-known period of women’s writing in Italy. This volume is an essential resource for students and scholars alike interested in women’s and gender history, early modern history and social and cultural history.

Geoffrey, the new Viscount Astor, needs a wife. Since he sets no great store by love and romance, he decides it would be eminently sensible to offer marriage to one of the three daughters of his predecessor. He has never met any of them and has no preference. He leaves the choice to them and their mother. Arabella, the middle daughter, volunteers to make the sacrifice and marry the earl since her older, far more lovely, sister is already in love with someone else. She prays that he will be an older man of few attractions, for she sees herself as plain and uninteresting. She is dismayed to discover that Geoffrey is, in fact, young, handsome, and fashionable. She vows to be a dutiful, obedient wife and to devote her life to making him comfortable. Arabella's plan seems to be working nicely for both Geoffrey and herself—until, that is, she discovers something about him that shocks her to the core. It is an offense she considers quite unforgivable. And when Arabella makes up her mind about something, she is not easily persuaded to change it. Geoffrey is finally shaken out of his complacency to the discovery that his wife means far more to him than he had realized. But how is he to win her back when she flatly refuses to be wheedled out of her outrage?

Dealing with the issue of ecclesiastical censorship and control over reading and readers, this study challenges the traditional view that during the eighteenth century the Catholic Church in Italy underwent an inexorable decline. It reconstructs the strategies used by the ecclesiastical leadership to regulate the press and culture during a century characterized by important changes, from the spread of the Enlightenment to the creation of a state censorship apparatus. Based on the archival records of the Roman Inquisition and the Congregation of the Index of Forbidden Books preserved in the Vatican, it provides a comprehensive analysis of the Catholic Church’s endeavour to keep literature and reading in check by means of censorship and the promotion of a "good" press. The crisis of the Inquisition system did not imply a general diminution of the Church’s involvement in controlling the press. Rather than being effective instruments of repression, the Inquisition and the Index combined to create an ideological apparatus to resist new ideas and to direct public opinion. This was a network mainly inspired by Counter-Enlightenment principles which would go on to influence the Church’s action well beyond the eighteenth century. This book is an English translation of Il governo della lettura: Chiesa e libri nell’Italia del Settecento (Bologna: Il Mulino, 2007).
