Greek and Roman Classics in the British Struggle for Social Reform / Henry Stead

Public ISBD Titre : Greek and Roman Classics in the British Struggle for Social Reform Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Henry Stead, Auteur Editeur : usa : Bloomsbury Academic Année de publication : 2016 Importance : 384p Format : 158mm (w) x 236mm (h) x 20mm (d ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-350-01916-4 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 880 Littératures helléniques Résumé : Greek and Roman Classics in the British Struggle for Social Reform presents an original and carefully argued case for the importance of classical ideas, education and self-education in the personal development and activities of British social reformers in the 19th and first six decades of the 20th century. Usually drawn from the lower echelons of the middle class and the most aspirational artisanal and working-class circles, the prominent reformers, revolutionaries, feminists and educationalists of this era, far from regarding education in Latin and Greek as the preserve of the upper classes and inherently reactionary, were consistently inspired by the Mediterranean Classics and contested the monopoly on access to them often claimed by the wealthy and aristocratic elite. The essays, several of which draw on previously neglected and unpublished sources, cover literary figures (Coleridge, the 'Cockney Classicist' poets including Keats, and Dickens), different cultural media (burlesque theatre, body-building, banner art, poetry, journalism and fiction), topics in social reform (the desirability of revolution, suffrage, poverty, social exclusion, women's rights, healthcare, eugenics, town planning, race relations and workers' education), as well as political affiliations and agencies (Chartists, Trade Unions, the WEA, political parties including the Fabians, the Communist Party of Great Britain and the Labour Party). The sixteen essays in this volume restore to the history of British Classics some of the subject's ideological complexity and instrumentality in social progress, a past which is badly needed in the current debates over the future of the discipline. Contributors include specialists in English Literature, History, Classics and Art.

London in Contemporary British Fiction : The City Beyond the City / Nick Hubble

Public ISBD Titre : London in Contemporary British Fiction : The City Beyond the City Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nick Hubble, Auteur Editeur : usa : Bloomsbury Academic Année de publication : 2018 Importance : 232 P Format : 23x15.5 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-350-05780-7 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 823 Fiction Résumé : Contemporary writers such as Peter Ackroyd, J.G. Ballard, John King, Ian McEwan, Will Self, Iain Sinclair and Zadie Smith have been registering the changes to the social and cultural London landscape for years. This volume brings together their vivid representations of the capital. Uniting the readings are themes such as relationship between the country and the city; the capacity of satirical forms to encompass the 'real London'; spatio-temporal transformations and emergences; the relationship between multiculturalism and universalism; the underground as the spatial equivalent of London's unconsciousness and the suburbs as the frontier of the future. The volume creates a framework for new approaches to the representation of London required by the unprecedented social uncertainties of recent years: an invaluable contribution to studies of contemporary writing about London.
