A Popish Pagan the Fiction of a Protestant Heathen. In a Conversation Betwixt a Gentleman of the States of Holland a Deist by Profession, and a Doctor of Heathen Mythology. Faithfully Translated From the Dutch
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Conversations with Wilde

Conversations with Wilde

Renowned for his endlessly quotable pronouncements, Oscar Wilde cut a dashing figure in late Victorian London … until his tragic downfall resulting from an ill-judged libel action. We remember him not only for his famous trial and imprisonment, but also for a “devil’s dictionary” of timeless aphorisms and for the enduring brilliance of plays such as The Importance of Being Earnest. Wilde's life resembles his early short story, "The Remarkable Rocket", which, rising from nowhere in a shower of sparks, explodes and falls to earth, exclaiming as it goes out, "I knew I should create a great sensation." Merlin Holland expertly traces the arc of his illustrious ancestor's life, from his birth in Dublin in 1854 as Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde, to a brilliant career at Oxford University where his reputation for dandyish wit was first honed, through to his conquest of the drawing rooms and theatres of fashionable London, culminating in disgrace and imprisonment at the hands of the Marquess of Queensberry in the most notorious libel trial in English history. Wilde died in penury and obscurity in 1900, yet his reputation today has never been greater. This engaging and innovative short book features a concise biographical essay on Wilde's meteoric career, followed by a Q&A interview based on Wilde's own words and Merlin Holland's unrivalled knowledge of his grandfather's life, work and puckish observations. This sparkling biography does full justice to Oscar Wilde's writerly genius and irrepressible humanity. It offers readers a renewed appreciation for a man who at times scandalised his era as much as he delights our own.

Med det kalla krigets slut och globaliseringens segertåg trodde många att nationalism hörde till historien. Men det visade sig vara tvärtom. Idag ser vi hur nationalismen sprids över hela världen. Samtidigt växer sig populistiska och anti-demokratiska rörelser starka. Att höra hemma någonstans tycks bli allt viktigare i en tid av ekonomisk och social osäkerhet. I en globaliserad värld förknippas därför identitet, medborgarskap och tillhörighet med födelseort och en fast plats att bo på. Essäerna i denna antologi är baserade på Engelsbergsseminariet 2017 där olika former av identitet knutna till olika samhällsbildningar granskades. Hur uppstår en nation? Hur skapas enighet i ett imperium med en mångfald av folk?Huvudredaktör för denna illustrerade antologi är Kurt Almqvist.
Excess and Transgression in Simone de Beauvoir's Fiction

Excess and Transgression in Simone de Beauvoir's Fiction

Alison Holland

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2009
sidottu
Alison Holland’s innovative book fills a gap in Beauvoir studies by focusing on the writer’s frequently neglected novels and short stories, L’Invitée, Les Mandarins, Les Belles Images, and La Femme rompue. In illuminating the density and rich complexity of Beauvoir’s style, Holland challenges the often accepted view that Beauvoir’s writing is flat, detached, and controlled, revealing, rather, that her prose is frequently disrupted and inflected by forceful emotion. Holland shows that excess and transgression are intrinsic qualities of the texts, and argues that Beauvoir’s textual strategies duplicate madness in her fiction. Holland’s reading of Beauvoir’s fiction demonstrates the extent to which Beauvoir’s fiction undermines an ideologically patriarchal position on language. Her study is important not only for its re-evaluation of Beauvoir as a fiction writer but for its contribution to the wider debate on madness and literature.

Luonnon yhteys arkkitehtuuriin on arkkitehti Alvar Aallon suunnittelutyön kiinnostavimpia piirteitä. Aalto yhdisti taitavasti maiseman osaksi suunniteltua ympäristöä ja rakensi luonnolle mahdollisuuden kasvaa osaksi arkkitehtuuria:”Kaikki minkä kotoiseen maaperään liitämme, on tehtävä niin, ettei se pilaa vain päinvastoin jalostaa ennen 'puhdasta luontoa' ollutta maisemaamme.” Kirja esittelee ensi kertaa kattavasti Aallon tuotantoa puutarhataiteen ja maisema-arkkitehtuurin kannalta. Suunnittelutyöhönsä ja näkemyksiinsä hän sai vaikutteita niin Suomen luonnosta kuin Välimeren maiden kulttuurimaisemista, antiikin maailmasta tai Japanin puutarhoista. Hänen asenteensa on yleispätevä ja edelleen ajankohtainen:”Valkoinen pöytä opetti minulle, että luontoa kohtaan täytyy osoittaa hienovaraisuutta, että elämä täytyy vaalia - mutta ei teknisin keinoin.” Kirjassa eritellään muun muassa Aino ja Alvar Aallon oman talon, Villa Mairean, Säynätsalon kunnantalon, Muuratsalon koetalon sekä Maison Carren puutarhataiteellisia ja maisema-arkkitehtonisia taustatekijöitä. Teoksen kirjoittajat ovat Aalto-asiantuntijoita Suomesta ja Ruotsista.
