This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Memoirs of the Nineteenth Century I recall old Professor Child urging on me in my college days "writing for bread," and saying I should remember "not all is for immortality, - in literature there are things that are meant to die, just as there are beasts and birds in nature," - words that often recurred to me while compiling this volume. It is a selection from a mass of contributions to the old Nation and the old Atlantic of my early years, like my first book of criticism (1890); and, to quote the preface of that volume (what is also true of the other reprints of this edition), the papers are given with "little more revision than was necessary to cover unimportant omissions, or to combine, in one or two instances, kindred articles." These papers, however, though "very young" in one sense, and "very old" in another, fairly illustrate the working of what is coming to be called the "old, literary education" in the life of a young writer in my day; and, besides, I hope they may be welcome to the lighter, but still serious-minded hours of students in colleges, and to teachers of literature, as a view of literary affairs in the nineteenth century, though desultory, yet not often to be found in such variety and compactness, nor easily to be come at. And I am satisfied that my old editors, Wendell Phillips Garrison and Thomas Bailey Aldrich - and kinder and more loyal editors no young writer ever had - would be pleased at this late gleaning from the long-abandoned spring wheat-field.

Book excerpt: After the Christmas vacation of 1805, Haydon began to attend the Academy classes, where he struck up a close friendship with John Jackson, afterwards a popular portrait-painter and Royal Academician, but then a student like himself. Jackson was the son of a village tailor in Yorkshire, and the protege of Lord Mulgrave and Sir George Beaumont. The two friends told each other their plans for the future, drew together in the evenings, and made their first life-studies from a friendly coalheaver whom they persuaded to sit to them. After a few months of hard work, Haydon was summoned home to take leave of his father, who was believed to be dying.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteenth-century American authors, critics, and readers believed that biography had the power to shape individuals' characters and to help define the nation's identity. In an age predating radio and television, biography was not simply a genre of writing, says Scott Casper; it was the medium that allowed people to learn about public figures and peer into the lives of strangers. In this pioneering study, Casper examines how Americans wrote, published, and read biographies and how their conceptions of the genre changed over the course of a century. Campaign biographies, memoirs of pious women, patriotic narratives of eminent statesmen, "mug books" that collected the lives of ordinary midwestern farmers--all were labeled "biography," however disparate their contents and the contexts of their creation, publication, and dissemination. Analyzing debates over how these diverse biographies should be written and read, Casper reveals larger disputes over the meaning of character, the definition of American history, and the place of American literary practices in a transatlantic world of letters. As much a personal experience as a literary genre, biography helped Americans imagine their own lives as well as the ones about which they wrote and read.

Download or read book Memoirs of a Courtesan in Nineteenth-century Paris written by comtesse Cäleste Vänard de Chabrillan and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Cäleste Mogador's memoirs were first published in 1854 and again in 1858, they were immediately seized and condemned as immoral and unsuitable for public consumption. For a reader in our more forgiving times, this extraordinary document offers not only a portrait of the early life of an intelligent, courageous, and infinitely intriguing Frenchwoman but also an exceedingly rare inside look at the world of the courtesans and prostitutes of nineteenth-century France. ø Writing to conciliate judges and creditors, Mogador (born Cäleste Venard in 1824) explains how with tenacity, wit, and audacity, she managed to escape a difficult childhood and subsequent life of prostitution to become, successively, a darling of the dance halls, a circus rider, and an actress, all the while attracting wealthy young men who vied for her favor. Although her account gives readers a peek into the rakish demimonde made famous by Verdi's opera La Traviata, its greatest value lies in its candid picture of a spunky, self-educated woman who doggedly transformed herself into an esteemed and prolific novelist and playwright, who fell in love with a count and married him, and who made her name synonymous with the bohemian life of the 1840s and 1850s in Paris.
