"The History of Clarissa Harlowe," part of "The Works Of Samuel Richardson," is a monumental achievement in English literature. This epistolary novel, crafted by Samuel Richardson, unfolds through a series of letters, revealing the tragic tale of Clarissa, a young woman of virtue, and her struggles against the oppressive forces of her family and the cunning machinations of the libertine Lovelace. Richardson's detailed exploration of Clarissa's psychological and moral dilemmas offers a profound insight into the social mores of the 18th century. The novel's enduring appeal lies in its complex characters, its poignant depiction of female agency, and its unflinching examination of themes such as virtue, seduction, and familial duty. This edition allows readers to immerse themselves in Richardson's masterpiece, experiencing the emotional depth and narrative complexity that have made "Clarissa" a cornerstone of literary history.

Samuel Johnson and the Powers of Friendship

Samuel Johnson and the Powers of Friendship

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2023
sidottu
This book is the first to assess Johnson’s diverse insights into friendship—that is to say, his profound as well as widely ranging appreciation of it—over the course of his long literary career. It examines his engagements with ancient philosophies of friendship and with subsequent reformulations of or departures from that diverse inheritance. The volume explores and illuminates Johnson’s understanding of friendship in the private and public spheres—in particular, friendship’s therapeutic amelioration of personal experience and transformative impact upon civil life. Doing so, it considers both his portrayals of interaction with his friends and his more overtly fictional representations of friendship across the many genres in which he wrote. It presents at once an original re-assessment of Johnson’s writings and new interpretations of friendship as an element of civility in mid-eighteenth-century British culture.

Samuel Beckett’s Italian Modernisms

Samuel Beckett’s Italian Modernisms

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
sidottu
In the wake of both Joycean and Dantean celebrations, this volume aims to investigate the fecund influence of Italian culture on Samuel Beckett’s work, with a specific focus on the twentieth century.Located at the intersection of historical avant-garde movements and a renewed interest in tradition, Italian modernism reimagined Italy and its culture, projecting it beyond the shadow of fascism. Following in Joyce’s footsteps, Samuel Beckett soon became an attentive reader of Italian modernist authors. These had a profound effect on his early work, shaping his artistic identity. The influence of his early readings found its way also into Beckett’s postwar writing and, most poignantly, in his theatre. The contributions in this collection rekindle the debate around Beckett as modernist author through the lenses of Italian culture.This study will be of particular interest to students and scholars in theatre and performance studies, Italian studies, English studies, and comparative literature.

Samuel Beckett and Recent Irish Fiction

Samuel Beckett and Recent Irish Fiction

David McKinney

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
sidottu
This volume considers Samuel Beckett’s fiction and drama as major aesthetic and thematic influences on the work of Irish authors Eimear McBride, Keith Ridgway, Emma Donoghue, and Kevin Barry in the post-crash period of 2009–2015. Through cross-comparisons between the aesthetics and form of Beckett’s Trilogy, Mercier and Camier, Footfalls and Not I, and those of a range of post-crash Irish novels including Beatlebone, Hawthorn and Child, Room, and A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing, this book establishes Beckett’s continuing influence on Irish fiction. With particular reference to these newer authors’ treatment of scarcity, trauma, indeterminism, gender and sexuality, and confinement in the context of major societal changes and traumas in Irish society since 2009, topics include the imposition of austerity, collapse of faith in institutions, and the increasing recognition of LGBTQIA+ and reproductive rights.

Samuel Ward Flinders

Samuel Ward Flinders

Richard de Grijs

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2026
nidottu
Matthew Flinders’ 1801–1803 circumnavigation of Australia in H.M.S. Investigator has become a fabled narrative. Much less well-known are the achievements of Matthew’s youngest brother, Samuel Ward Flinders, whose skills in obtaining astronomical measurements to determine the expedition’s geographic longitudes were remarkable. This book consolidates the widely scattered literature about Samuel’s life and achievements into the astronomer’s first modern biography. Samuel had to bear his own share of misfortunes and injustices, but they are balanced by his significant contribution to the scientific achievements of the voyage of the Investigator. This book contains a conclusive assessment as to whether his bad reputation is warranted by the historic record. This book will appeal to both academics and general audiences. This book is accompanied by over 70 pages of online appendices (hosted under the Support Material tab on the Routledge website) including glossaries of key people, ships, nautical terms, and indigenous place names. These downloadable resources also include further information on the H.M Ship Reliance, eyewitness accounts, and Samuel Flinders’ court martial. Key features Presents the well-known story of Matthew Flinders’ 1801–1803 Australian circumnavigation told from a different, less obvious perspective; Explores the 18th/19th century’s British–French rivalry half a world from home; The first comprehensive biography of a largely overlooked major personality in the early exploration and colonisation by the British Empire.
