Touch Sexuality and Hands in British Literature 1740–1901

Touch Sexuality and Hands in British Literature 1740–1901

From Robert Lovelace’s uninvited hand-grasps in Samuel Richardson’s Clarissa to to Basil Hallward’s first encounter with Dorian Gray literary depictions of touching hands in British literature from the 1740s to the 1890s communicate emotional dimensions of sexual experience that reflect shifting cultural norms associated with gender roles sexuality​ and sexual expression. But what is the relationship between hands tactility and sexuality in Victorian literature? And how do we best interpret ​what those touches communicate between characters? This volume addresses these questions by asserting a connection between the prevalence of violent sexually charged touches in eighteenth-century novels such as those by Eliza Haywood Samuel Richardson and Frances Burney and growing public concern over handshake etiquette in the nineteenth century evident in works by ​Jane Austen the Brontës George Eliot Elizabeth Gaskell Thomas Hardy Oscar Wilde and Flora Annie Steel. This book takes an interdisciplinary approach that combines literary analysis with close analyses of paintings musical compositions and nonfictional texts​ such as etiquette books and scientific treatises​ to make a case for the significance of tactility to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century perceptions of selfhood and sexuality. In doing so it draws attention to the communicative nature of skin-to-skin contact ​as represented in literature and traces a trajectory of meaning from the forceful grips that violate female characters in eighteenth-century novels to the consensual embraces common in Victorian ​and neo-Victorian literature. | Touch Sexuality and Hands in British Literature 1740–1901

The Louvre and Versailles The Evolution of the Proto-typical Palace in the Age of Absolutism

The Louvre and Versailles The Evolution of the Proto-typical Palace in the Age of Absolutism

This book traces the evolution of the great palaces of the Louvre and Versailles from Pierre Lescot’s designs for expanding the former in the mid-16th century to the successive grands projets for the transformation of the latter over the course of the 18th century. Detailed architectural analysis is set in the context of the development of the medieval monarchy towards absolutism the significance of Hispano-Burgundian court etiquette as a formative influence on planning and the effect of the French monarchy’s financial incontinence on royal building ambitions. On the basis of exhaustive original research recalling contemporary testimony and re-examining the works themselves the book challenges recent scholarly accounts of the contributions of Claude Perrault and François Mansart to the Louvre and demonstrates the influence of schemes by Italian masters Pietro Cortona and Bernini on Ange-Jacques Gabriel’s designs for rebuilding Versailles. Finally the book looks at the influence of the great French palaces on those seeking to emulate their ambition from Stockholm in the late 17th century to the deliriously opulent late 19th-century palace of Ludwig II of Bavaria at Herrenchiemsee. The book includes a wealth of illustrative material and supporting documents which bring this comprehensive and authoritative text to life. | The Louvre and Versailles The Evolution of the Proto-typical Palace in the Age of Absolutism

Lying Truthtelling and Storytelling in Children’s and Young Adult Literature Telling It Slant

Lying Truthtelling and Storytelling in Children’s and Young Adult Literature Telling It Slant

Even though we instruct our children not to lie the truth is that lying is a fundamental part of children’s development—socially cognitively emotionally morally. Lying can sometimes be more compassionate than telling the truth even more ethical. Reading specific children’s books can instruct child readers how to be guided by an etiquette of lying to know when to tell the truth and when to lie. Equally important these stories can help prevent them from being prey to those liars who are intent on taking advantage of them. Becoming a critical reader requires that one learn how to lie judiciously as well as to see through others’ lies. When humans first began to speak we began to lie. When we began to lie we started telling stories. This is the paradox that in order to tell truthful stories we must be good liars. Novels about child-artists showcased here illustrate how the protagonist embraces this paradox accepting the stigma that a writer is a liar who tells the truth. Emily Dickinson’s phrase “tell it slant” best expresses the vision of how writers for children and young adults negotiate the conundrum of both protecting child readers and teaching them to protect themselves. This volume explores the pervasiveness of lying as well as the necessity for lying in our society; the origins of lying as connected to language acquisition; the realization that storytelling is both lying and truthtelling; and the negotiations child-artists must process in order to grasp the paradox that to become storytellers they must become expert liars and lie-detectors. | Lying Truthtelling and Storytelling in Children’s and Young Adult Literature Telling It Slant
