Описание: "In Victorian Reformations: Historical Fiction and Religious Controversy, 1820-1900, Miriam Elizabeth Burstein analyzes the ways in which Christian novelists across the denominational spectrum laid claim to popular genres--most importantly, the religious historical novel--to narrate the aftershocks of 1829, the year of Catholic Emancipation. Both Protestant and Catholic popular novelists fought over the ramifications of nineteenth-century Catholic toleration for the legacy of the Reformation. But despite the vast textual range of this genre, it remains virtually unknown in literary studies. Victorian Reformations is the first book to analyze how "high" theological and historical debates over the Reformation`s significance were popularized through the increasingly profitable venue of Victorian religious fiction. By putting religious apologists and controversialists at center stage, Burstein insists that such fiction--frequently dismissed as overly simplistic or didactic--is essential for our understanding of Victorian popular theology, history, and historical novels. Burstein reads "lost" but once exceptionally popular religious novels--for example, by Elizabeth Rundle Charles, Lady Georgiana Fullerton, and Emily Sarah Holt--against the works of such now-canonical figures as Sir Walter Scott, Charles Dickens, and George Eliot, while also drawing on material from contemporary sermons, histories, and periodicals. Burstein demonstrates how these novels, which popularized Christian visions of change for a mass readership, call into question our assumptions about the nineteenth-century historical novel. In addition, her research and her conceptual frameworks have the potential to influence broader paradigms in Victorian studies and novel criticism. "In Victorian Reformations, Miriam Elizabeth Burstein persuasively shows how non-canonical Victorian historical novels offer essential insights into the shaping and importance of Victorian religious debates. Informative and well-argued, her book is a significant work for those who are interested in Victorian literature and Victorian religion, as well as the intersection of the two."--Carol Engelhardt Herringer, Wright State University"--

Описание: Newspapers are a vital component of print and political cultures, as they informed and documented social and political upheavals between 1750 and 1850. Despite the influence attributed to newspapers, little is known about the press itself. This collection aims to fill this gap by examining the press of Europe and America.

Описание: By offering a much-needed account of the rise of the modern disciplines, in this study Robin Valenza shows why the sciences and humanities diverged so strongly, and argues that literature has a special role in navigating between the languages of different areas of thought. He focuses on eighteenth-century physics, philosophy, and poetry.

Описание: This bookforegrounds the role of the Royal Navy in creating the British Atlantic in theeighteenth century. It outlines the closely entwined connections between thenurturing of naval supremacy, the politics of commercial protection, and thedevelopment of national and imperial identities – crucial factors in theconsolidation and transformation of the British Atlantic empire. The collectionbrings together scholars working on aspects of the Royal Navy and the BritishAtlantic in order to gain a better understanding of the ways that the Navyprotected, facilitated, and shaped the British-Atlantic empire in the era ofwar, revolution, counter-revolution, and upheaval between the beginning of theSeven Years War and the end of the conflict with Napoleonic France.Contributions question the limits – conceptually and geographically – of thatAtlantic world, suggesting that, by considering the Royal Navy and the BritishAtlantic together, we can gain greater insights into Britain’s maritimehistory.
