British imperialism, 1688-2000 / Peter J. Cain

Public ISBD Titre : British imperialism, 1688-2000 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Peter J. Cain, Auteur ; Anthony G. Hopkins, Auteur Editeur : Harlow ; London ; New york [England ; Usa] : Longman Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 739 p. Présentation : couv. ill. en coul. Format : 24 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-582-47286-0 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : Great Britain  Colonies  History  Impérialisme  Colonies britanniques  Histoire Résumé : A milestone in the understanding of British history and imperialism, and truly global in its reach, this magisterial account received numerous accolades from reviewers in its first edition. The first to coin the phrase "gentlemanly capitalism", Cain and Hopkins make the strong and provocative argument that it is impossible to understand the nature and evolution of British imperialism without taking account of the peculiarities of her economic development. In particular, the growth of the financial sector - and above all, the City of London - played a crucial role in shaping the course of British history and Britain's relations overseas. Now with a substantive new introduction and a conclusion, the scope of the original account has been widened to include an innovative discussion of globalization.

British Romantic writers and the East / Nigel Leask

Public ISBD Titre : British Romantic writers and the East : anxieties of Empire / Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nigel Leask Editeur : Cambridge [United Kingdom] : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 1992 Collection : Cambridge studies in Romanticism Importance : xvi, 266 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-60444-4 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : English literature  Asian influences  History  criticism  19th century  Romanticism  Great Britain  Imperialism  literature  Exoticism Index. décimale : 820.9145 Résumé : The recent turn to political and historical readings of Romanticism has given us a more complex picture of the institutional, cultural and sexual politics of the period. There has been a tendency, however, to confine such study to the European scene. In this book, Nigel Leask sets out to study the work of Byron, Shelley and De Quincey (together with a number of other major and minor Romantic writers, including Robert Southey and Tom Moore) in relation to Britain's imperial designs on the 'Orient'. Combining historical and theoretical approaches with detailed analyses of specific works, it examines the anxieties and instabilities of Romantic representations of the Ottoman Empire, India, China and the Far East. It argues that these anxieties were not marginal but central to the major concerns of British Romantic writers. The book is illustrated with a number of engravings from the period, giving a visual dimension to the discussion of Romantic representations of the East.

Death, men, and modernism / Ariela Freedman

Public ISBD Titre : Death, men, and modernism : trauma and narrative in British fiction from Hardy to Woolf / Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ariela Freedman Editeur : New Delhi ; London [India ; Royaume -Uni] : Routledge Année de publication : 2003 Collection : Literary criticism and cultural theory Importance : ix, 155 p. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 0-415-94350-7 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : English fiction  History  criticism.  Death  literature  19th century  Modernism (Literature)  Great Britain  Psychic trauma  Narration (Rhetoric)  Men Index. décimale : 823.009/3548 Résumé : Death, Men and Modernism argues that the figure of the dead man becomes a locus of attention and a symptom of crisis in British writing of the early to mid-twentieth century. While Victorian writers used dying women to dramatize aesthetic, structural, and historical concerns, modernist novelists turned to the figure of the dying man to exemplify concerns about both masculinity and modernity. Along with their representations of death, these novelists developed new narrative techniques to make the trauma they depicted palpable. Contrary to modernist genealogies, the emergence of the figure of the dead man in texts as early as Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure suggests that World War I intensified-but did not cause-these anxieties. This book elaborates a nodal point which links death, masculinity, and modernity long before the events of World War I.
