The commemorative tradition in early American art is given sustained consideration for the first time in Sally Webster's study of public monuments and the construction of an American patronymic tradition. Until now, no attempt has been made to create a coherent early history of the carved symbolic language of American liberty and independence. Establishing as the basis of her discussion the fledgling nation's first monument, Jean-Jacques CaffiA(c)ri's Monument to General Richard Montgomery (commissioned in January of 1776), Webster builds on the themes of commemoration and national patrimony,...

The Republican Line: Caricature and French Republican Identity, 1830-52
ISBN: 9780719089350 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The years between 1830 and 1852 were turbulent ones in French politics - but were also a golden age for French political caricature. Caricature was wielded as a political weapon, so much so that in 1835 the French politician Adolphe Thiers claimed that 'nothing was more dangerous' than graphic satire. This book is the first full study of French political caricature during the critical years of the July Monarchy (1830 - 48) and the Second Republic (1848 - 52). Focusing on the crucial question of republicanism, it shows how caricature was used - by both republicans and anti-republicans - to...

Britain, Ireland and the Italian Risorgimento
ISBN: 9781137297716 / Angielski / Twarda / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Italian nationalism was a deeply divisive issue in both Britain and Ireland. While British evangelicals, radicals and liberals and (for a time) Irish nationalists embraced the Italian national struggle, many conservatives and most British and Irish Catholics stood opposed. This groundbreaking collection of essays explores the role of religion, politics, culture and the British-Irish semi-colonial relationship in shaping British and Irish reactions to Italian unification. In particular, it examines the nature and significance of transnational Mazzinian networks in Britain and Ireland during...

The Representation of the Struggling Artist in America, 1800-1865
ISBN: 9781611494129 / Angielski / Twarda / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Representation of the Struggling Artist in America, 1800-1865 analyzes how American painters, sculptors, and writers, active between 1800 and 1865, depicted their response to a democratic society that failed to adequately support them financially and intellectually. Without the traditional European forms of patronage from the church or the crown, American artists faced unsympathetic countrymen who were unaccustomed to playing the role of patron and less than generous in rewarding creativity. It was in this unrewarding landscape that American artists in the first half of the nineteenth...

Britannia's Embrace: Modern Humanitarianism and the Imperial Origins of Refugee Relief
ISBN: 9780190200985 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On the eve of the American Revolution, the refugee was, according to British tradition, a Protestant who sought shelter from continental persecution. By the turn of the twentieth century, however, British refuge would be celebrated internationally as being open to all persecuted foreigners. Britain had become a haven for fugitives as diverse as Karl Marx and Louis Napoleon, Simon Bolivar and Frederick Douglass. How and why did the refugee category expand? How, in a period when no law forbade foreigners entry to Britain, did the refugee emerge as a category for humanitarian and political...

'I Hope I Don't Intrude': Privacy and Its Dilemmas in Nineteenth-Century Britain
ISBN: 9780198725039 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'I Hope I Don't Intrude' takes its title from the catch-phrase of the eponymous hero of the 1825 play Paul Pry, which was an immense success on the London stage and then rapidly in New York and around the English-speaking world. It tackles the complex, multi-faceted subject of privacy in nineteenth-century Britain by examining the way in which the tropes, language, and imagery of the play entered public discourse about privacy in the rest of the century. The volume is not just an account of a play, or of late Georgian and Victorian theatre. Rather it is a history of privacy,...

Russia and the Making of Modern Greek Identity, 1821-1844
ISBN: 9780198733775 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The birth of the Greek nation in 1830 was a pivotal event in modern European history and in the history of nation-building in general. As the first internationally recognized state to appear on the map of Europe since the French Revolution, independent Greece provided a model for other national movements to emulate. Throughout the process of nation formation in Greece, the Russian Empire played a critical part.

Re-Imagining Democracy in the Age of Revolutions: America, France, Britain, Ireland 1750-1850
ISBN: 9780198738817 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Re-imagining Democracy in the Age of Revolutions charts a transformation in the way people thought about democracy in the North Atlantic region in the years between the American Revolution and the revolutions of 1848. In the mid-eighteenth century, 'democracy' was a word known only to the literate. It was associated primarily with the ancient world and had negative connotations: democracies were conceived to be unstable, warlike, and prone to mutate into despotisms. By the mid-nineteenth century, however, the word had passed into general use, although it was still not necessarily an...

China on the Sea: How the Maritime World Shaped Modern China
ISBN: 9789004281608 / Angielski / Miękka / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Generations of Chinese scholars have made China synonymous with the Great Wall and presented its civilization as fundamentally land-bound. This volume challenges this perspective, demonstrating that China was not a "Walled Kingdom," certainly not since the Yongjia Disturbance in 311. China reached out to the maritime world far more actively than historians have acknowledged, while the seas and what came from the seas--from Islam, fragrances and Jesuits to maize, opium and clocks--significantly changed the course of history, and have been of inestimable importance to China since the Ming. This...
