The Works of Hannah More: Coelebs in search of a wife
Author: Hannah MoreHannah More in Context
Author: Kerri AndrewsPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000518442
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
This book relocates the long life and literary career of the poet, playwright, novelist, philanthropist and teacher Hannah More (1745-1833) in the wider social and cultural contexts that shaped her, and which she helped shape in turn. One of the most influential writers and campaigners of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, More’s reputation has suffered unfairly from accusations of paternalism and provincialism, and misunderstandings of her sincerely-held but now increasingly unfamiliar evangelical beliefs. Now, in this book, readers can explore a range of essays rooted in up-to-the-minute research which examines newly-recovered archival materials and other evidence in order to present the fullest picture yet of this complex and compelling author, and the era she helped mould with her words.
What Regency Women Did for Us
Author: Rachel KnowlesPublisher: Grub Street Publishers
ISBN: 1473882265
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Profiles of twelve trailblazing Regency Era women—from Jane Austen to Madame Tussaud—who took charge of their destinies and changed the world. In the nineteenth century, women faced challenges and constraints that many of us would find shocking by today’s standards. What Regency Women Did for Us tells the inspirational stories of twelve women who overcame entrenched institutional obstacles to achieve trailblazing success—women such as the German astronomer Caroline Herschel, who discovered a comet that bears her name; the French artist Marie Tussaud whose wax sculptures made her world famous; the great author Jane Austen whose novels continue to delight generations of readers. These women were pioneers, philanthropists, entrepreneurs, authors, scientists, and actresses—women who made an impact on their world and ours. Popular history blogger Rachel Knowles tells how each of these women challenged the limitations of their time and left an enduring legacy for future generations to follow. Two hundred years later, their stories remain powerful inspirations for us all. “Rachel’s fine book looks at how the women of Britain emerged from the shadows of their husbands during the Regency period, inspiring female writers, scientists, etc. to take hold of their own destinies and start to have an influence on the world. Brilliant.” —Books Monthly

From Instruction to Delight
Author: Patricia DemersPublisher: Don Mills, Ont. : Oxford University Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Children's literature as we know it did not exist before the mid-eighteenth century; yet from medieval times on, a wealth of poetry and prose was read by and to children. In this anthology Patricia Demers illustrates the development of that literature, from its earnest beginnings to the dawnof its Golden Age, introducing the selections and placing them in historical context. From early colloquies and hornbooks to charming miniature libraries, the selections--many of which are accompanied by their original illustrations--provide a window through which to trace the developing concept ofchildhood in itself and the cultural value of the child.The academic study of children's literature has made important gains in the two decades since the first edition of From Instruction to Delight appeared. This expanded second edition reflects that growth in theoretical sophistication. In addition, it offers a number of new selections, includingsqamples of writing by children themselves (juvenilia) and 'mothers' advice', and an extensive bibliography.
