Introversion and extroversion in certain late Victorian writers
No full textThis thesis deals with three writers, George Gissing, Edmund
Gosse and Robert Louis Stevenson. I use the words "introversion"
and "extroversion" partly in a geographical sense.
George Gissing, for example, in spite of Continental influences
remained a very English (in some ways almost insular)
novelist, and in that sense an introvert. Edmund Gosse, on the
other hand, was a very cosmopolitan critic although his style
was typically English. Robert Louis Stevenson provides a third
angle. Having been born in Edinburgh he was forced into exile
for most of his life, and obviously this had a great effect on
his writings. Of the three writers most weight is given to
Edmund Gosse.
In my analysis of George Gissing I concentrate on some of
his best known novels, The Unclassed, The Nether World, New
Grub Street and Born in Exile. The Emancipated and By the
Ionian Sea deal specifically with Italy. There are four
chapters on Edmund Gosse. The first concentrates on the early
part of his long career when his main interest was Scandinavian
literature. The next two chapters give an account of his impressions
of and writings on America and France. In the fourth
chapter on Edmund Gosse I concentrate on the part of his career
when he had become an established authority on his own country's
literature. Robert Louis Stevenson, too, is dealt with in
four chapters. First I write briefly about his Scottish works,
all inspired by his childhood and youth. Next I deal with his
two favourite countries, France and the United States, both
associated with his Wife, Fanny. The last chapter follows
Stevenson to the South Seas where he spent the last few years
of his life and wrote some of his best books.
The three writers are compared from time to time. Robert
Louis Stevenson and Edmund Gosse knew each other well;
George Gissing is the odd man out. But his reaction to foreign
influences differs from that of the other two and this makes a
comparison very interesting
Granite skyscrapers: how rock shaped earth and other worlds
No full textIn this book, David Stevenson offers us a look at the evolution of planets as they move from balls of mixed molten rock to vibrant worlds capable of hosting life. Embedded in our everyday architecture and in the literal ground beneath our feet, granite and its kin lie at the heart of many features of the Earth that we take for granted. From volcanism and mountain building to shifting water levels and local weather patterns, these rocks are closely intertwined with the complex processes that continue to shape and reshape our world. This book serves as a wonderful primer for anybody interested in our planet’s geological past and that of other planets in our Solar System and beyond. It illustrates not only how our planet’s surface evolved, but also how granite played a pivotal role in the creation of complex, intelligent life on Earth. There has long been a missing element in popular astronomy, which Stevenson now aims to fill: how geological and biological evolution work in a complex partnership, and what our planet’s own diversity can teach us about other rocky worlds
Newton's Laws
No full textAuthored and curated by David P. Stern, this series of web pages, part of "From Stargazers to Starships," describes Newton's three laws of motion and the two concepts on which they are based, force and inertia. The author breaks down the page in this fashion: the concept of force, motion against outside resistance, and motion with significant resistance. The author also provides additional links for further study on the life of Issac Newton. A lesson plan for instructors is also provided
Uses and consumption
No full textLentils are one the earliest known crops to be cultivated and archaeological evidence goes back at least 7000 years. They have been in constant use in different societies since then and their consumption has been widespread in developed and developing countries alike. It is consumed for its flavour, its versatility and its high nutritive value and other health benefits which are briefly discussed here and elsewhere in this book. In most of the Asian countries and particularly in the Indian subcontinent the major use for lentil is for making dhal for which the red lentils are preferred. The types of lentil soups prepared in different countries and regions throughout the world vary enormously depending on local tradition and palate from the spicy Indian dhals to the more aromatic north African lentil soups to the meat based European dishes and several recipes are included here. Dhal alone describes a whole group of dishes which vary enormously from the different regions of India and the other countries of the subcontinent. They are also used uncooked; either soaked crushed and moulded to make cakes or sprouted as an ingredient in salads in some parts of India and as such provide better nutrient value
Historicizing Romantic Sexuality
Get PDFThis volume of Romantic Circles Praxis includes an editor's introduction by Richard C. Sha, essays by Richard C. Sha, Jonathan Loesberg, Elizabeth Fay, Jillian Hedy-Stevenson, Susan S. Lanser, Bradford K. Mudge, Daniel O'Quinn, David M. Halperin, and Andrew Elfenbein.
In How To Do the History of Sexuality, David M. Halperin puts to rest the idea that Michael Foucault meant in the History of Sexuality to separate sexual acts from identity. According to Halperin, Foucault never intended to encourage historians of sexuality to neglect the connections between sexual subjectivities and sexual acts. From this came the idea of creating a volume of essays that would take on the history of sexuality in the Romantic period, and in so doing use Halperin to rethink what we now know to be a pseudo-Foucaultian divorce between acts and identities, a divorce that has made sexual subjectivities before sexology an historical black hole. </p
