Book Description
Excerpt from A Book of Memories of Great Men and Women of the Age, From Personal Acquaintance It will be obvious that there are not many to whom the task I undertake is possible. To have been personally acquainted with a large proportion of those who head the epoch, infers a youth long past, yet passed under circumstances such as could have been enjoyed by few. Some of whom I write had put on immortality before the greater number of my readers were born: one gene ration has passed away, and another has attained its prime, since the period to which I take them back for I write only of the Departed - only of those who, bequeathing to us the rich fruitage of their lives, I.eaving us heirs to amplest heritages Of all the best thoughts of the greatest sages.

The Athenaeum
Author: Life Writing and Victorian Culture
Author: David AmigoniPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351922246
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
In this collection of interdisciplinary essays, experts from Britain and the United States in the fields of nineteenth-century literature, and social and cultural history explore new directions in the field of Victorian life writing. Chapters examine a varied yet interrelated range of genres, from the biography and autobiography, to the relatively neglected diary, collective biography, and obituary. Reflecting the rich research being conducted in this area, the contributors link life writing to the formation of gendered and class-based identities; the politics of the Victorian family; and the broader professional, political, colonial, and literary structures in which social and kinship relations were implicated. A wide variety of Victorian works are considered, from the diary of the Radical Samuel Bamford, to the diary of the homosexual George Ives; from autobiographies of professional men to collective biographies of eminent women. Embracing figures as diverse as Gandhi, Wilde, and Bradlaugh, the collection explores the way in which narratives contested one another in a society that devoted an abundance of cultural energy to writing about, and reading of, lives.
