Weeping Britannia: Portrait of a Nation in Tears
ISBN: 9780199676057 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. There is a persistent myth about the British: that they are a nation of stoics, with stiff upper lips, repressed emotions, and inactive lachrymal glands. Weeping Britannia--the first history of crying in Britain--comprehensively debunks this myth.
Far from being a persistent element in the "national character," the notion of the British stiff upper lip was in fact the product of a relatively brief and militaristic period of the nation's past, from about 1870 to 1945. In earlier times we were a nation of proficient, sometimes virtuosic moral weepers. To illustrate this perhaps surprising...

Thomas Dixons TOMMY MACK: An Appalachian Childhood captures twenty-seven tumultuous - and heart-warming - years of growing up poor in the Tazewell County coalfields of southwestern Virginia, where an alcoholic and abusive father too often seemed more like predator than provider.

Thomas Dixon reveals in this study how emotions came into being as a distinct psychological category.

The Invention of Altruism: Making Moral Meanings in Victorian Britain
ISBN: 9780197264263 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Altruism" was coined by the French sociologist Auguste Comte in the early 1850s as a theoretical term in his 'cerebral theory' and as the central ideal of his atheistic "Religion of Humanity." In The Invention of Altruism, Thomas Dixon traces this new language of 'altruism' as it spread through British culture between the 1850s and the 1900s, and in doing so provides a new portrait of Victorian moral thought.
Drawing attention to the importance of Comtean positivism in setting the agenda for debates about science and religion, this volume challenges received ideas about both Charles...
