Flirtation and Courtship in Nineteenth-Century British Culture

Flirtation and Courtship in Nineteenth-Century British Culture

This three-volume set brings together a rich collection of primary source materials on flirtation and courtship in the nineteenth-century. Introductory essays and extensive editorial apparatus offer historical and cultural contexts of the materials included Throughout the long nineteenth-century a woman’s life was commonly thought to fall into three discrete developmental stages; personal formation and a gendered education; a young woman’s entrance onto the marriage market; and finally her emergence at the apogee of normative femininity as wife and mother. In all three stages of development there was an unspoken awareness of the duplicity at the heart of this carefully cultivated femininity. What women were taught no matter their age was that if you desired anything in life it behooved you to perform indifference. This meant that for women the art of flirtation and feigning indifference were viewed as essential survival skills that could guarantee success in life. These three volumes document the many ways in which nineteenth-century women were educated in this seemingly universal wisdom but just as frequently managed to manipulate subvert and navigate their way through such proscribed norms to achieve their own desires. Presenting a wide range of documents from novels memoirs literary journals newspapers plays poetry songs parlour games and legal documents this collection will illuminate a far more diverse set of options available to women in their quest for happiness and a new understanding of the operations of courtship and flirtation the central concerns of a nineteenth-century woman’s life. The volumes will be of interest to scholars of history literature gender and cultural studies with an interest in the nineteenth-century. | Flirtation and Courtship in Nineteenth-Century British Culture

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century

This two-volume collection includes fairy tales produced by African American Caribbean Irish and other marginalized authors in the Anglophone world. These tales are a part of the expanding cartographies of the fairy-tale world during the long nineteenth-century. While new collections devoted to emerging minority writers include some new and exciting fairy tales this collection is particularly interested in demonstrating the historic nature of this tradition. Minority writers have been creating fairy tales alongside mainstream authors since the golden age of the fairy tales. Many of these stories have been overlooked because they are embedded in a range of literary genres including novels dramas poems and lyrics. This collection mines these fairy tales and makes out-of-print or otherwise relatively inaccessible marginalized fairy tales available to a new generation of scholars. Fairy Tales from the Margins is essential to moving fairy-tale studies beyond its current boundaries which also limit the field’s current theories and ideologies. While some written collections are beginning to include fairy tales by historically marginalized writers there are no collections dedicated to the fairy tales produced by marginalized writers or people of color particularly during the nineteenth century. And there are no online collections of these distinctive fairy tales. This collection breaks new ground in the field of fairy-tale studies and will allow scholars and researchers to engage with issues that are becoming urgent in an era of rising racial tensions. This study expands upon the long-standing connections between Scottish Welsh Irish African American and Caribbean revival movements demonstrating the ways fairy tales are incorporated into earlier forms of ethnic protest literature. This collection is divided by tale types to demonstrate the wide range of responses to a single tale or group of fairy tales. These divisions rely loosely on the traditional Aarne-Thompson-Uther classification system. Although these tales are primarily written by own-voice authors a few out-of-print collections of recorded oral tales are also included to demonstrate the longevity of these tales outside mainstream traditions where print traditions are not available. | Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century

English Novel Vol II The Smollett to Austen

English Novel Vol II The Smollett to Austen

The English Novel Volume II: Smollett to Austen collects a series of previously-published essays on the early eighteenth-century novel in a single volume reflecting the proliferation of theoretical approaches since the 1970s. The novel has been the object of some of the most exciting and important critical speculations and the eighteenth-century novel has been at the centre of new approaches both to the novel and to the period between 1750 and 1800. Richard Kroll's introduction seeks to frame the contributions by reference to the most significant critical discussions. These include: the general importance of 'sentimentalism' as a cultural movement after 1750; its relationship to the emergence of the Gothic novel as a specific genre or mode; the rapid rise in the number of women novelists in the later eighteenth century; the relationship between the novel as mediator of social relations and the idea of the 'public sphere'; the relationship between novelistic codes and the massive growth of a consumerist society; the class conflicts of writers like Smollett; the effect on the novel of the new 'British' nation; and the effects of the French Revolution and the subsequent political debates on writers like Wollstonecraft Godwin and Austen. This collection will be of interest to students of the later enlightenment and also to all who are interested in late eighteenth-century radicalism and the general relationship between literature history and politics. | English Novel Vol II The Smollett to Austen

Temples of Luxury

Temples of Luxury

This two-volume collection of British primary sources examines institutions such as hotels inns arcades bazaars co-operatives shops and department stores in the long nineteenth century which were often coded as ‘luxurious’. This period was marked not only by an increase of individual consumerism but also by the institutionalisation of opulent often purpose-built spaces such as the much-admired new grand hotels supposedly an American invention and department stores modelled on the French grands magasins. These environments were tied to leisure (no longer a prerogative of the upper classes) and thus to modernity. In addition to addressing the luxurious side of these institutions including architectural innovation and interior decoration we also consider the other side of luxury examining the experience of staff and period debates over the morality of consumption. This edition seeks to explore a fascinating but hitherto often neglected side of the British nineteenth century by bringing together a collection of annotated primary texts and visual material documenting these ‘temples of luxury’ as they were seen by their contemporaries.

The Routledge Handbook of Architecture Urban Space and Politics Volume I Violence Spectacle and Data

The Routledge Handbook of Architecture Urban Space and Politics Volume I Violence Spectacle and Data

For architecture and urban space to have relevance in the 21st Century we cannot merely reignite the approaches of thought and design that were operative in the last century. This is despite or because of the nexus between politics and space often being theorized as a representation or by-product of politics. As a symbol or an effect the spatial dimension is depoliticized. Consequently architecture and the urban are halted from fostering any systematic change as they are secondary to the event and therefore incapable of performing any political role. This handbook explores how architecture and urban space can unsettle the unquestioned construct of the spatial politics of governing. Considering both ongoing and unprecedented global problems – from violence and urban warfare the refugee crisis borderization detention camps terrorist attacks to capitalist urbanization inequity social unrest and climate change – this handbook provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary research focused on the complex nexus of politics architecture and urban space. Volume I starts by pointing out the need to explore the politics of spatialization to make sense of the operational nature of spatial oppression in contemporary times. The operative and active political reading of space is disseminated through five thematics: Violence and War Machines; Security and Borders; Race Identity and Ideology; Spectacle and the Screen; and Mapping Landscapes and Big Data. This first volume of the handbook frames cutting-edge contemporary debates and presents studies of actual theories and projects that address spatial politics. This Handbook will be of interest to anyone seeking to meaningfully disrupt the reduction of space to an oppressive or neutral backdrop of political realities. | The Routledge Handbook of Architecture Urban Space and Politics Volume I Violence Spectacle and Data
