Vision, Science and Literature, 1870-1920

Vision, Science and Literature, 1870-1920

Martin Willis

University of Pittsburgh Press
2018
nidottu
This book explores the role of vision and the culture of observation in Victorian and modernist ways of seeing. Willis charts the characterization of vision through four organizing principles—small, large, past and future—to survey Victorian conceptions of what vision was. He then explores how this Victorian vision influenced twentieth-century ways of seeing, when anxieties over visual "truth" became entwined with modernist rejections of objectivity.

Mesmerists, Monsters, and Machines

Mesmerists, Monsters, and Machines

Martin Willis

Kent State University Press
2005
nidottu
A cultural history of science and science fictionUsing key canonical science fiction narratives, Mesmerists, Monsters, and Machines examines the intersection of the literary and scientific cultures of the nineteenth century. In this original and refreshing approach to the study of early science fiction, author Martin Willis maintains that science fiction was just as important in defining the culture of the nineteenth century as other critics maintain it was in shaping the twentieth century.Mesmerists, Monsters, and Machines interrogates the cultural implications of scientific development as articulated, challenged, and reformulated by science fiction. Each chapter demonstrates that both science and fiction were vital parts of a culture of imaginative and empirical practices that were continually reacting to, arguing with, and influencing one another throughout the nineteenth century. In an engrossing narrative that cites classic science fiction texts, Willis establishes a timeline for the reader so that the cultural significance of science fiction is understood and its complexity and relevance to the nineteenth century is demonstrated.Those interested in nineteenth-century history and literature, cultural studies, the history of science, and science fiction will welcome this addition to the scholarship.

Le Willis - Ed. critica di Martin Deasy - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte

Le Willis - Ed. critica di Martin Deasy - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte

HAL LEONARD EUROPE
2021

Here, appearing for the first time, is the piano vocal score of Le Willis, Giacomo Puccini's first stage work, whose full score remained unpublished until 2020, when it was issued by Casa Ricordi (NR 139546).The critical edition by Martin Deasy is based, as far as the first six Numbers are concerned, on the autograph score that Puccini reutilized for composing Le Villi. The autograph pages incorporating the final Number - pages that were later removed, in order to make space for the new material produced for Le Villi- are also proposed as the principal text.Pursuing an innovative philological approach, the editor has, furthermore, taken into due consideration the contemporaneous printed editions of the piano vocal score, on the assumption that they constitute the principal collateral sources, if one considers the particular genesis of this work. For it is certain that Puccini, upon entering the Sonzogno competition, submitted a score of Willis that lacked proper orchestration in a few pages and displayed, above all, incomplete vocal lines. However, he also provided a manuscript reduction for piano and vocal score (now lost, except for the final Number of Willis) that was undoubtedly more detailed, as far as the vocal lines were concerned. The editor proves that the vocal material produced for the first performance of Willis was not copied from the autograph score, but from the lost score reduction. The latter also served as the basis for the preparation of Ricordi's printed edition of the piano vocal score.

All that is known of the first Willis to arrive on US soil is that he immigrated in 1730 and came from Wales. These stories of his descendants, however, offer a glimpse into the development and settlement of the United States and Texas. Extensively researched and written by Olive Elizabeth Martin Burns (n e Willis), a.k.a. Tucker, The Braided Cord: The Story of the Willis Family traces the lives seven generations of Willises through the present day. Tucker brings her family's past to life, chronicling their successes and failures, their military service and businesses, and the family's move to the rough-and-ready farmlands of Texas. You'll meet Peter J. Willis and his brothers, who first moved to Texas and established a successful business firm only to have a manipulative wife brings down the family empire. There's the story of Short Adam, a fifth-generation Willis who left Texas to live the life of a country squire in Connecticut, returning late in life with a young wife and three children. The history of the Willises is always set against the grand backdrop of Texas. To read this book is to understand the settlement of a state and the growth of a family.

Ever wondered what it's like to play in a professional orchestra?

In turn hilarious, poignant, controversial and surprisingly informative, this explodes the myth of the 'stuffy' orchestral musician and delivers a heartfelt and honest view of Orchestra-World and some of the players, both sane and otherwise, who inhabit it."A lively account - a real insight into life in an orchestra" - Jenny Brown, literary agent

Mutualism and Health Care

Mutualism and Health Care

Martin Gorsky; John Mohan; Tim Willis

Manchester University Press
2013
nidottu
Mutualism and health care, newly available in paperback, presents the first comprehensive account of a major innovation in hospital funding before the NHS. The voluntary hospitals, which provided the bulk of Britain’s acute hospital services, diversified their financial base by establishing hospital contributory schemes. Through these, working people subscribed small, regular amounts to their local hospitals, in return for which they were eligible for free hospital care. The book evaluates the extent to which the schemes were successful in achieving comprehensive coverage of the population, funding hospital services, and broadening opportunities for participation in the governance of health care and for the expression of consumer views. It then explores why the option of funding the post-war NHS through mass contribution was rejected, and traces the transformation of the surviving schemes into health cash plans. This is a substantial investigation into the attractions and limitations of mutualism in health care. It is highly relevant to debates about organisational innovations in the delivery of welfare services.
