Book Description
Excerpt from The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, Vol. 55: November, 1897, to April, 1898 ET us walk on past the great cedar to the little green door which opens into the lane near the bridge. Tennyson passed this way very often to Dimbola, the house of his restless friend and neighbor, Mrs. Cameron, which stands by the roadside some half the way from Fartingford to the sea. In the days between 1860 and 1878, when the Camerons left for Ceylon, Mrs. Cameron was almost as famous and well-known a figure in Freshwater as Tennyson himself. Quick impulse immediately acted upon was the prevailing note in a character of singular charm, and Dimbola, her Freshwater home, reflects many of the characteristics of its late owner. Freshwater, when She first came to it, could not boast of many large houses a replete with every modern comfort I); but Mrs. Cameron, having resolved to settle there, solved the problem of house accom modation with rapid originality. A certain sailor named Jacob Long owned two cottages with a View from their bay-windows not ex celled by any in Freshwater, and these Mrs. Cameron purchased, converting them into a commodious, if somewhat Singular, mansion by uniting them with a castellated center hall, and naming the united structure after a property in Ceylon. But a long course of building still laybefore Jacob Long's cottages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Fugitive's Properties
Author: Stephen M. BestPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226241114
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 375
Book Description
In this study of literature and law before and since the Civil War, Stephen M. Best shows how American conceptions of slavery, property, and the idea of the fugitive were profoundly interconnected. The Fugitive's Properties uncovers a poetics of intangible, personified property emerging out of antebellum laws, circulating through key nineteenth-century works of literature, and informing cultural forms such as blackface minstrelsy and early race films. Best also argues that legal principles dealing with fugitives and indebted persons provided a sophisticated precursor to intellectual property law as it dealt with rights in appearance, expression, and other abstract aspects of personhood. In this conception of property as fleeting, indeed fugitive, American law preserved for much of the rest of the century slavery's most pressing legal imperative: the production of personhood as a market commodity. By revealing the paradoxes of this relationship between fugitive slave law and intellectual property law, Best helps us to understand how race achieved much of its force in the American cultural imagination. A work of ambitious scope and compelling cross-connections, The Fugitive's Properties sets new agendas for scholars of American literature and legal culture.
The Jewish Reception of Heinrich Heine
Author: Mark H. GelberPublisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110921081
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
This volume contains the lectures, many substantially expanded and revised, which were delivered at an international conference held at Ben-Gurion University in Beersheva in 1990. By utilizing the methodological guidelines and insights of reception aesthetics, a range of Jewish readings of Heine's works and his complex literary personality are analyzed. Considerations of his impact on major figures, like Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx, Theodor Herzl, Max Nordau, Karl Kraus, Else Lasker-Schüler, Lion Feuchtwanger, and Max Brod comprise the major part of the book. In addition, there are readings of Heine by minor or neglected Jewish writers and poets, including, for example, Aron Bernstein and Fritz Heymann, and by Jewish writers in Hebrew and Yiddish literature, as well as by Jewish readers within other national readerships, for example, the American and Croatian. In the process of this analysis, the notion of Jewish reception itself is naturally subjected to critical scrutiny.
