The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination

The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination

Fascinated by them unable to ignore them and imaginatively stimulated by them Charles Dickens was an acute and unsentimental reporter on the dogs he kept and encountered during a time when they were a burgeoning part of the nineteenth-century urban and domestic scene. As dogs inhabited Dickens’s city so too did they populate his fiction journalism and letters. In the first book-length work of criticism on Dickens’s relationship to canines Beryl Gray shows that dogs real and invented were intrinsic to Dickens’s vision and experience of London and to his representations of its life. Gray draws on an array of reminiscences by Dickens’s friends family and fellow writers and also situates her book within the context of nineteenth-century attitudes towards dogs as revealed in the periodical press newspapers and institutional archives. Integral to her study is her analysis of Dickens’s texts in relationship to their illustrations by George Cruikshank and Hablot Knight Browne and to portraiture by late eighteenth- and nineteenth-century artists like Thomas Gainsborough and Edwin Landseer. The Dog in the Dickensian Imagination will not only enlighten readers and critics of Dickens and those interested in his life but will serve as an important resource for scholars interested in the Victorian city the treatment of animals in literature and art and attitudes towards animals in nineteenth-century Britain.

Renaissance & Seventeenth - Century Studies

Renaissance & Seventeenth - Century Studies

First published in 1964 Renaissance & Seventeenth - Century Studies contains essays which fall into two groups. The first four are concerned with problems of metaphor and style and treat two important eras in literary history when these problems underwent critical re-examination. St. Augustine marks the classical attempt to take account of biblical poetics while the two essays on the theory of the metaphysical style treat the attempt of seventeenth century critics to comprehend at the theoretical level the expansion of metaphysical possibilities that marked the metaphysical movement. The second group of essays are in general concerned with Machiavelli and Machiavellism and Andrew Marvell. However they are again essentially concerned with the way in which crucial metaphors and idea-images serve as principles for organising experience both in Machiavelli’s own writings and in that of work of Marvell which reflects his influence. The final essay Cromwell as Davidic King weaves together Machiavellian and Augustinian strands as they are manifested in the works of a poet of wit the various light of whose mind responded harmoniously to the different currents of thought and taste these essays discuss. This book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of literature literary history political philosophy and philosophy in general.

How Groups Matter Challenges of Toleration in Pluralistic Societies

How Groups Matter Challenges of Toleration in Pluralistic Societies

When groups feature in political philosophy it is usually in one of three contexts: the redressing of past or current injustices suffered by ethnic or cultural minorities; the nature and scope of group rights; and questions around how institutions are supposed to treat a certain specific identity/cultural/ethnic group. What is missing from these debates is a comprehensive analysis of groups as both agents and objects of social policies. While this has been subject to much scrutiny by sociologists and social psychologists it has received less attention from a normative and philosophical point of view. This volume asks: what problems are posed to political philosophy by a collection of individuals who act or are treated in a collective way? Focusing not only on ways in which institutions should treat groups but also on the normative implications of considering groups as possible social agents when acting either in vertical relations with the state or in horizontal relations with other groups (or individuals) this book explores these issues from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Contributors address both the nature of political and social philosophy itself and the ways in which specific issues – affirmative action race religion and places of worship the rights of states – have become political and social priorities. | How Groups Matter Challenges of Toleration in Pluralistic Societies

Getting Dressed teaches sociology through the everyday decision of what to wear. It is about the rules that shape how we dress and how and why we conform. It is about how and why we imitate others.
