Before Victoria. Extraordinary Women of the British Romantic Era. — DENLINGER, Elizabeth

Before Victoria. Extraordinary Women of the British Romantic Era.

DENLINGER, Elizabeth
Columbia University Press
2005, 192pp, Illustrated. Hardcover. With dustjacket. In very good condition.
"It might not have the been the revolution that Mary Wollstonecraft called for inA Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), but the Romantic era did witness a dramatic change in women's lives. Combining literary and cultural history, this richly illustrated volume brings back to life a remarkable, though frequently overlooked, group of women who transformed British culture and inspired new ways of understanding feminine roles and female sexuality. What was this revolution like? Women were expected to be more moral, more constrained, and more private than in the eighteenth century, when women such as Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire crafted bold public personas. Genteel women no longer laughed aloud at bawdy jokes and noblewomen ran charity bazaars instead of private casinos. By 1800, motherhood had become a sacred calling and women who could afford to do so devoted themselves to the home. While this idealization of domesticity kept some women off the streets, it afforded others new opportunities. Often working from home, women wrote novels and poetry, sculpted busts, painted portraits, and conducted scientific research. They also seized the chance to do good, and crafted new public roles for themselves as philanthropists and reformers. Now-obscure female astronomers, photographers, sculptors, and mathematicians share these pages with celebrated writers such as Mary Shelley, her mother Mary Wollstonecraft, and Mary Robinson, who in addition to being a novelist and actress was also the mistress of the Prince of Wales. This book also makes full use of The New York Public Library's extensive collections, including graphic works and caricatures from the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, manuscripts, hand-colored illustrations, broadsides, drawings, oil paintings, notebooks, albums and early photographs. These vivid, beautiful, and often humorous images depict these women, their works, and their social and domestic worlds."

The Writers' War. World War I in the Words of Great Writers Who experienced it. — TROTMAN, Felicity (edited by)

The Writers' War. World War I in the Words of Great Writers Who experienced it.

TROTMAN, Felicity (edited by)
AMBERLEY
2014, 351pp, Illustrated. Hardcover. With dustjacket. In very good condition. Pakketzending.
When I come home and leave behind Dark things I would not call to mind ...' wrote Leslie Coulson, one of the many soldiers who tried to express his wartime experiences in writing dreaming of an idyllic England in the face of the horror of the Western Front. Coulson was one of the hundreds of thousands who did not come home - but because of his poetry we glimpse something of his thoughts and experiences. Today we can be grateful that so many of those who endured the First World War did write about it giving us an unmatched view of an event which would otherwise be completely beyond our ability to imagine. The Writers' War is a collection of excerpts from outstanding accounts of the First World War. It provides an essential insight to anyone interested in modern history or early twentieth-century literature. Extraordinary extracts bring the human experience of war brilliantly to life - from the terror of bombardment, or the camaraderie of military service, to the home front. The writing reflects an enormous range of nationalities and personalities. It includes memorable poetry, fiction, and journalism. Some great names of modern English literature appear, such as Arthur Conan Doyle, D. H. Lawrence and Rudyard Kipling. In addition, there are superb accounts by foreign authors such as novelists Edith Wharton and Henri Barbusse, and flying ace Manfred von Richthofen. The Writers' War gives an unparalleled insight into a world-changing event, and what it meant in human terms both to the writers and millions of others caught up in it.

Naaktzwemmen in de geschiedenis. Een keuze uit haar gedichten. — BHATT, Sujata

Naaktzwemmen in de geschiedenis. Een keuze uit haar gedichten.

BHATT, Sujata
Uitgeverij P
2006, 93pp. Paperback. In zeer goede staat.
"De roots van Sujata Bhat liggen in Gujarat waar ze op jonge leeftijd kennis maakte met de traditie van het Gujarati. Later werd ze beïnvloed door de Engelse literatuur en door Indiase dichters als A.K. Ramanujan en Jayanta Mahapatra. De vertalers, Joris Iven en Jacqueline Caenberghs, maakten een boeiende selectie uit vijf van haar bundels. In Sujata Bhatts poëzie herkent de lezer een duidelijke en ongedwongen stem met een sterke vrouwelijke gevoeligheid, wat haar als dichteres zo bijzonder maakt. Deze schitterend vertaalde poëzie is een ware verrijking voor elke bibliotheek."

An illustrated History of Irish Songs & Music. Including CD. — Megan O. Suilleabhain - Sullivan

An illustrated History of Irish Songs & Music. Including CD.

Megan O. Suilleabhain - Sullivan
Caxton Editions
2003, 127pp. Illustrated. Hardcover. With dustjacket. In good condition.
The purpose of this book is to shed light on the social history of Irish Traditional music and its musicians, for despite its exposure and popularity, it still remains obscure. The book traces this history from the Neolithic and Bronze Age, through the myths and legends of the ancient Celts. The early Gaelic-speaking people adopted Christianity and grafted it into their archaic pagan world. Before this, the tradition was strictly oral and it was only with the coming of Christianity that the stories and songs became written down through the monastic tradition, although during Medieval times, Irish music was prohibited. The book also traces the jigs and ballads brought over by the Ulster Scots and the exportation of musicians to the New World during Cromwell's brutal resettlement. During the Williamite wars a huge repertoire of Protestant marching tunes evolved, which are ill enjoyed in modern-day Ulster.
