  1. <<The>> musical discourse of servitude
    authority, autonomy, and the work-concept in the music of Fux, Bach, and Handel

    "The Musical Discourse of Servitude examines the music of Johann Joseph Fux (c.1660-1741) in relation to that of Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel. Its principal argument is that Fux's long indenture as a composer of church music in Vienna gains in meaning (and cultural significance) when situated along an axis that runs between the liturgical servitude of writing music for the imperial court service and the autonomy of musical imagination which transpires in the late works of Bach and Handel. To this end, The Musical Discourse of Servitude constructs a typology of the late baroque musical imagination which draws Fux, Bach and Handel into the orbit of North Italian compositional practice"--

    "During the long eighteenth century, Great Britain was almost continuously at war. This book describes how playwrights and theater managers of the period discovered and created transformative theatrical and social roles for actresses and wartime women characters. Women characters came to be central figures in bringing the war home to the nation, transforming into deeply patriotic British subjects, and this book interprets them as entertainment and as ideological and propagandistic vehicles in times of crisis"-- A revelatory history of the characters that playwrights and managers created out of the real lives of women in intimate relationships with military men to serve Great Britain's greatest needs during the war-saturated eighteenth century.During the long eighteenth century, Great Britain was almost continuously at war. As the era unfolded, the theatre gradually discovered the potential in having actresses, recently introduced to the stage in the 1660s, perform as wartime women characters. As playwrights and managers began casting women in transformative roles to meet each major national need, female characters came to be central figures in bringing the war home to the nation, transforming them into deeply patriotic British subjects.Paula Backscheider's Women in Wartime is the first study of theatrical representations of women with intimate connections to military men.- Drawing upon her extensive expertise in gender, performance studies, popular culture, and archival studies, Backscheider traces the rise of the London theatre's acceptance that one of its responsibilities was to support its country's wars. Rather than focusing on the historical, mythical "warrior women" on the battlefield who have been much studied, Backscheider explores the lives and work of sweethearts, wives, mothers, sisters, barmaids, provision sellers, seaport prostitutes, and more, whose relationships to active-duty men made them recruits, volunteers, or even conscripts. They represent a distinct group of thousands of real women, and the actresses who portrayed them gave performances of change, struggle, celebration, mourning, survival, love, and patriotism.-

    "Riche de ses éditeurs scolaires et de ses collections enfantines, le dix-neuvième siècle a-t-il inventé le marché du livre pour enfants? Dans la France du dix-huitième siècle, de nombreux acteurs s'efforcent déjà de séparer, au sein de la librairie, les lectures adaptées aux enfants et aux jeunes gens. Les rituels pédagogiques des collèges et des petites écoles, les stratégies commerciales des libraires, les préoccupations des Églises, les projets et les politiques de réforme scolaire, tous poussés par la fièvre éducative de la noblesse et de la bourgeoisie, produisent alors d'innombrables bibliothèques enfantines, plurielles et plastiques, avec ou sans murs. Cet ouvrage montre comment, à un ordre des livres dominé par les logiques des institutions scolaires et des métiers du livre, se surimpose à partir des années 1760 une nouvelle catégorie, celle du « livre d'éducation », qui ne s'identifie plus à un lieu, mais à un projet de lecture, et s'accompagne de l'émergence de nouvelles figures d'auteurs. Alors que les études sur la littérature de jeunesse poursuivent partout leur développement et leur structuration, ce livre dialogue avec les dernières recherches européennes sur la question. À l'inverse des travaux littéraires, il part, non des auteurs et des textes, mais des objets et de leurs manipulations. Son originalité est d'apporter un regard historien sur ces questions, en articulant histoire du livre et de la librairie, histoire de l'éducation, histoire des milieux littéraires et de la condition d'auteur"--Back cover

    In eighteenth-century Britain, venereal disease was everywhere and nowhere: while physicians and commentators believed the condition to be widespread, it remained shrouded in secrecy, and was often represented using slang, symbolism, and wordplay. In this book, the author explores the cultural significance of the "clap" (gonorrhea), the "pox" (syphilis), and the "itch" (genital scabies) for the development of eighteen-century British literature and art. As a condition both represented through metaphors and used as a metaphor, venereal disease provided a vehicle for the discussion of cultural anxieties about gender, race, commerce, and immigration. The author highlights four key concepts associated with venereal disease, demonstrating how infection's symbolic potency was enhanced by its links to elite masculinity, prostitution, foreignness, and facial deformities. Casting light where the sun rarely shines, this study will fascinate anyone interested in the history of literature, art, medicine, and sexuality

    "Systems Failure is the first book to consider English fiction of the long eighteenth century as a sweeping critique of Enlightenment system-building. It examines literary responses to various schemes of social organization, from Johnson's tracking of urban encounters in the Life of Savage and Sterne's anatomization of interpersonal relationships in A Sentimental Journey to Austen's marriage plots and De Quincey's essays on the circulation of the mail and the contemplation of the cosmos. Franta is interested in how writers take up civil and cultural institutions designed to rationalize society (cities, maps, transportation and postal systems, commercial society and the market economy, courtship and marriage, sentimental exchanges, political parties) only to complicate them, stretching their organizational and explanatory resources until they unravel. In this unraveling, literature arrives at its most penetrating insights about the structure of social life. Narrative becomes a tool for critique and a form in which aspects of the social world that elude systematic representation can be figured; these texts thus compose a tradition that runs alongside but contests our received ideas about the rise of the novel. If the main line of the novel depicts the individual's place in society, these authors explore the constitution of the social realm in which individuals are imagined to take their places. Systems Failure argues that this tradition develops an unfamiliar account of literature's contribution to the study of social order, disorder, and change in the long eighteenth century--one that has less to do with the novelistic representation of social reality than the literary analysis of the idea that society has a structure."--

    In 'The Enlightenment's Animals' Nathaniel Wolloch takes a broad interdisciplinary view of changing conceptions of animals in European culture during the long eighteenth century. Combining discussions of intellectual history, the history of science, the history of historiography, the history of economic thought, and, not least, art history, this book describes how the way animals were discussed and conceived in different intellectual and artistic contexts underwent a dramatic shift during this period. While in the seventeenth century and the first half of the eighteenth century the main focus was on the sensory and cognitive characteristics of animals, during the late Enlightenment a new outlook emerged, emphasizing their conception as economic resources. Focusing particularly on seventeenth-century Dutch culture, and on the Scottish Enlightenment, Wolloch discusses developments in other countries as well, presenting a new look at a topic of increasing importance in modern scholarship

    Drawing together landscape, architecture and literature, Strawberry Hill, the celebrated eighteenth-century "Gothic" villa and garden beside the River Thames, is an autobiographical site, where we can read the story of its creator, Horace Walpole. This beautifully illustrated book reveals the Gothic villa and associated landscape to be inspired by theories that stiumlate. 'The Pleasure of the Imagiation' articulated in the series of essays by Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719) published in the Spectator (1712). Linked to this argument, it proposes that the concepts behind the designs for Strawberry Hill are nto based around architectural precedent but around eighteenth-century aesthetics theories, antiquarianism and matters of "Taste." - From back cover

    "Literary representations of British convicts exiled to Australia were the most likely way that the typical English reader would learn about the new colonies there. In Transported to Botany Bay, Dorice Williams Elliott examines how writers--from canonical ones such as Dickens and Trollope to others who were themselves convicts--used the figure of the felon exiled to Australia to construct class, race, and national identity as intertwined. Even as England's supposedly ancient social structure was preserved and venerated as the 'true' England, the transportation of some 168,000 convicts facilitated the birth of a new nation with more fluid class relations for those who didn't fit into the prevailing national image. In analyzing novels, broadsides, and first-person accounts, Elliott demonstrates how Britain linked class, race, and national identity at a key historical moment when it was still negotiating its relationship with its empire. The events and incidents depicted as taking place literally on the other side of the world, she argues, deeply affected people's sense of their place in their own society, with transnational implications that are still relevant today"--

    "Do women have souls? Christianity has traditionally held the soul to be the seat of reason, intelligence, humanity, immortality, and moral agency. But the Book of Genesis never says that God breathed a soul into Eve. Women's souls thus became significant in Reformation satires as Protestants and Catholics debated whether scripture alone or institutional authority ought to determine interpretation. In England, these satires eventually intersected with what scholars have called the "Trinitarian Controversy," a dispute about the nature of Christ that paralleled the interpretive difficulty regarding the nature of women's souls. In order to marginalize heterodox thinkers who claimed that Christ was not of the same substance as God the Father, orthodox Anglicans collapsed the distinction between schism and heresy by comparing heterodox Christians to a sexualized stereotype of Muslim despots. Part of this stereotype was the (erroneous) claim that Muslim doctrine asserted that women did not have souls and could only experience physical, not intellectual, pleasure. Thus, the problem of competing Christian biblical interpretations could be foisted onto a stereotype of Muslim men as brutal, self-serving misogynists. Englishwomen soon took up the trope to argue that a truly enlightened, and necessarily Christian, Englishman would support improvements in women's education--and feminist orientalism was born"--

    Het stift van Thorn is in de achttiende eeuw "the place to be" voor de hoogadellijke dochters van de Europese rijksvorsten en -graven. Ze worden hier klaargestoomd voor een huwelijk met een man van stand, leren zich uitdrukken in het Frans, krijgen zanglessen en organiseren dansfeesten. Hun japonnen naar de laatste mode uit Parijs zijn exclusief en de exquise gerechten eten ze met zilveren bestek. In de glazen kooi waarin ze leven dienen ze voortdurend het bij hun stand passende gedrag te vertonen, één enkele misstap kan fataal zijn. Historicus Joost Welten kon de hand leggen op een gigantische hoeveelheid nooit eerder geraadpleegde bronnen en geeft in 'De vergeten prinsessen van Thorn' een inkijk in de leefwereld van dit voormalige rijk der hoogadellijke vrouwen. Vorstelijk geïllustreerd met meer dan 150 afbeeldingen - vaak nooit eerder gepubliceerd. We volgen de adellijke dames op hun reizen door Europa, tijdens jachtpartijen, maar ook wanneer ze vertwijfeld op zoek zijn naar geld om hun schulden te betalen. Hoe gaan zij om met de speelruimte die hun wordt toebedeeld? Schikken zij zich in een dienstbare rol of zien ze kans om een eigen kleur te geven aan het leven en daarin iets uit te drukken van hun idealen en ambities?

    "This volume re-examines traditional interpretations of the rise of modern aesthetics in eighteenth-century Britain and Germany. It provides a new account that connects aesthetic experience with morality, science, and political society. In doing so, the book challenges longstanding teleological narratives that emphasize disinterestedness and the separation of aesthetics from moral, cognitive, and political interests. The chapters are divided into three thematic parts. The chapters in Part I demonstrate the heteronomy of eighteenth-century British aesthetics. They chart the evolution of aesthetic concepts and discuss the ethical and political significance of the aesthetic theories of several key figures, namely the third Earl of Shaftesbury, David Hume, and Adam Smith. Part II explores the ways in which eighteenth-century German thinkers examine aesthetic experience and moral concerns and relate to the work of their British counterparts. The chapters here cover the work of Kant, Moses Mendelssohn, Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten, and Madame de Staël. Finally, Part III explores the interrelation of science, aesthetics, and a new model of society in the work of Goethe, Johann Wilhelm Ritter, Friedrich Hölderlin, and William Hazlitt, among others. This volume develops unique discussions of the rise of aesthetic autonomy in the eighteenth century. In bringing together well-known scholars working on British and German eighteenth-century aesthetics, philosophy, and literature, it will appeal to scholars and advanced students in a range of disciplines who are interested in this topic"--

    "Narrative Mourning explores death and its relics as they appear within the confines of the eighteenth-century British novel. It argues that the cultural disappearance of the dead/dying body and the introduction of consciousness as humanity's newfound soul found expression in fictional representations of the relic (object) or relict (person). In the six novels examined in this monograph -- Samuel Richardson's Clarissa and Sir Charles Grandison; Sarah Fielding's David Simple and Volume the Last; Henry Mackenzie's The Man of Feeling; and Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho - the appearance of the relic/relict signals narrative mourning and expresses (often obliquely) changing cultural attitudes toward the dead"--

    "In the mid-eighteenth century, the Ottawa chief Pontiac (often spelled Ponteach at the time) led an intertribal confederacy in resisting British power in the Great Lakes region, an event immortalized in the play Ponteach, or the Savages of America. This play, written by infamous frontier soldier Robert Rogers, is one of the earliest theatrical renderings of the region, depicting its hero in a way that called into question eighteenth-century constructions of Indigenous Americans. Sämi Ludwig contends that Ponteach's literary and artistic merits are worthy of further exploration. He investigates the questions of authorship and analyzes the play's content, embracing its many contradictions as enriching windows into the era. In this way, he suggests using Ponteach as a tool to better understand British imperialism in North America and the emerging theatrical forms developing in the Young Republic"--
