A Short history of England / R. J. White

Public ISBD Titre : A Short history of England Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : R. J. White, Auteur Editeur : Paris ; New york [France ; Usa] : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : cop. 1967 Importance : 1 vol. (VII-294 p.) Format : 22 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-09439-9 Note générale : Index. - Autres tirages : 1967, 1972, 1978, 1987 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : Short history  England  Civilisation Résumé : This is an agreeable narrative, easy to read, of the history of the English nation through twenty centuries. It is intended for the reader who wants a comprehensive survey which brings out the important lines of development but does not clog the story with too many facts, dates, treaties and battles. Underlying the account is a professional scholar's acquaintance with recent historical scholarship, conveyed as a stimulating succession of ideas. The reader gets a strong sense of the evolution of English society: the mixture of law, custom and innovation in its constitutional history; its curious blend of characteristics. There are numerous livelt - and sometimes surprising - quotations from the sources. Its compass is the whole field of English history from the Roman occupation to the end of the nineteenth century; a brief postscript brings the story up to the present day.

The condition of the working class in England / Friedrich Engels

Public ISBD Titre : The condition of the working class in England Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Friedrich Engels ; V. G. Kiernan Editeur : London ; New York [Royaume-Uni ; Usa] : Penguin Année de publication : 1987 Collection : Penguin classics Importance : 307 p. Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 0-14-044486-6 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : Working class  Social conditions.  England Résumé : The Condition of the Working Class is the best-known work of Engels, and in many ways still the best study of the working class in Victorian England. It was also Engels's first book, written during his stay in Manchester from 1842 to 1844. Manchester was then at the very heart of the Industrial Revolution and Engels compiled his study from his own observations and detailed contemporary reports. The fluency of his writing, the personal nature of his insights, and his talent for mordant satire combine to make this account of the life of the victims of early industrial change into a classic - a historical study that parallels and complements the fictional works of the time by such writers as Gaskell and Dickens. What Cobbett had done for agricultural poverty in his Rural Rides, Engels did - and more - in this work on the plight of the industrial workers in the England of the early 1840s. This edition includes the prefaces to the English and American editions, and a map of Manchester c.1845. The condition of the working class in England [texte imprimé] / Friedrich Engels ; V. G.

Science, reading, and Renaissance literature / Elizabeth Spiller

The book documents how what have become our two cultures of belief define themselves through a shared aesthetics that understands knowledge as an act of making. Within this framework, literary texts gain substance and intelligibility by being considered as instances of early modern knowledge production. At the same time, early modern science maintains strong affiliations with poetry because it understands art as a basis for producing knowledge. In identifying these interconnections between literature and science, this book contributes to scholarship in literary history, history of reading and the book, science studies and the history of academic disciplines.

The professor / Charlotte BrontLe

Public ISBD Titre : The professor Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Charlotte BrontLe ; Heather Glen Editeur : London ; New York [Royaume-Uni ; Usa] : Penguin Année de publication : 2003 Collection : Penguin classics Importance : 318 p. Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 20 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 0-14-043311-2 Note générale : Originally published: London : Smith, Elder, 1857. Published in Penguin Books, 1948. Reprinted in Penguin Classics with notes and introduction, 1989. Reprinted with a chronology, 2003. Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : Triangles (Interpersonal relations)  English  Belgium  Brussels  Women teachers  England Index. décimale : 823.8 Résumé : The Professor was the first novel that Charlotte Brontë completed. Rejected by the publisher who took on the work of her sisters in 1846--Anne's Agnes Grey and Emily's Wuthering Heights--it remained unpublished until 1857, two years after Charlotte Brontë's death. Like Villette (1853), The Professor is based on her experiences as a language student in Brussels in 1842. Told from the point of view of William Crimsworth, the only male narrator that she used, the work formulated a new aesthetic that questioned many of the presuppositions of Victorian society. Brontë's hero escapes from a humiliating clerkship in a Yorkshire mill to find work as a teacher in Belgium, where he falls in love with an impoverished student-teacher, who is perhaps the author's most realistic feminist heroine. The Professor endures today as both a harbinger of Brontë's later novels and a compelling read in its own right.
