Discipline by Mary Brunton

Discipline by Mary Brunton

Discipline the second novel by the Scottish writer Mary Brunton (1778-1818) was published in 1814. While less well known than its predecessor Self-Control (1811) it is nonetheless equally deserving of a central place in the canon of Romantic-era fiction. A wide-ranging novel it shares many themes with contemporary fiction such as women’s difficulties in earning money and the horror of being falsely imprisoned in an insane asylum. However it is Discipline’s innovative attempt at psychological realism that sets it apart from its contemporaries. Through the moral growth of its heroine Ellen Percy Discipline insists on women’s self-determination and their ability to become rational agents in a world that treats them as objects merely of desire or contempt. This edition is edited by Olivia Murphy who has added careful editorial notes and an insightful new introduction to the text. | Discipline by Mary Brunton

Thomas Harriot: Science and Discovery in the English Renaissance

Thomas Harriot: Science and Discovery in the English Renaissance

This volume sheds new light on one of the most remarkable polymaths of the English Renaissance. It offers original perspectives not only on Harriot’s personal achievements in mathematics and natural philosophy but also on the wider realms of exploration colonial ambition and philosophical debate in which he earned the attention and respect of contemporaries in and far beyond the socially elevated circles of his two great patrons first Walter Ralegh and then Henry Percy the ninth Earl of Northumberland. Harriot’s sixteenth-century world was one of unprecedented expansion in both scientific understanding and the discovery of new lands and peoples. The essays gathered here bring out forcefully the effect of this expanding vision encapsulated in Harriot’s Briefe and true report of the new found land of Virginia (1588) the first detailed description of America to be published in the English language. In addition to an essay by a recent biographer of Harriot the volume contains reworked versions of seven Thomas Harriot Lectures an annual lecture series inaugurated in 1990 in Oriel College Oxford. It follows two earlier volumes of Harriot Lectures also edited by Robert Fox that appeared in 2000 and 2012. | Thomas Harriot: Science and Discovery in the English Renaissance

Selected Letters of Vernon Lee 1856–1935 Volume II - 1885-1889

Selected Letters of Vernon Lee 1856–1935 Volume II - 1885-1889

Vernon Lee was the pen name of Violet Paget (1856–1935) – a prolific author best known for her supernatural fiction and her radical polemics. She was also an active letter writer whose correspondents include many well-known figures in fin de siècle intellectual circles across Europe. However until now no attempt has been made to make these letters widely available in their complete form. This multi-volume scholarly edition presents a comprehensive selection of her English French Italian and German correspondence — compiled from more than 30 archives worldwide — that reflect her wide variety of interests and occupations as a Woman of Letters and contributor to scholarship and political activism. Letters written in a language other than English have been expertly translated by scholars Sophie Geoffroy (from the French) Crystal Hall (from the Italian) and Christa Zorn (from the German). The edition focuses on those letters concerning the writing ideas and aesthetics that influenced Lee’s articles books and stories. Full transcriptions of some 500 letters covering the years 1856-1935 are arranged in chronological order along with newly written introductions that explain their context and identifies the recipients friends and colleagues mentioned. Since scholarship on Lee’s critical and creative output is still in the beginning stages these letters will serve a purpose to students and researchers in a number of academic fields. In this second volume covering the years 1885–1889 the 421 assembled letters follow Violet Paget-Vernon Lee in her early thirties. Recovering from the stinging reception of her first novel and from Annie Meyer’s death she turns to essay writing on aesthetics and ethics and ghost stories. After Mary Robinson’s engagement to marry French orientalist Prof. Darmesteter she travels to Spain Gibraltar and Tangiers and briefly falls under the spell of the Orient. She also takes a liking to Scotland and many of her close friends are Scottish -Alice Callander Lady Archie (Janey Sevilla Archibald Campbell)—and so is her future partner Clementina Anstruther-Thomson. The letters reflect the expansion of her subject matter from cultural studies art history and aesthetic philosophy. Her charity work in hospitals in Florence and her readings in Political Economy lead her thinking towards social reform and political issues. Her brother’s mental illness and her own breakdown bring about an awareness of body and mind balance and a taste for outdoor pursuits (mountaineering; bicycling; horse riding; swimming) and for experimental psychology (rotating mirrors; hypnosis) and therapies (hydrotherapy). The Pagets move away from the city center of Florence into the Villa Il Palmerino then in the countryside where both Eugene and Vernon recover. Correspondents include Lee’s parents Matilda and Henry Ferguson Paget; her step-brother poet Eugene Lee-Hamilton; English poetess Mary Robinson; English poet Robert Browning; British novelist and journalist Ellen Mary Abdy-Williams; British social reform activist and editor Percy William Bunting; Irish journalist and activist Frances Power Cobbe; Irish scholar and novelist Bella Duffy; British eugenicist Karl Pearson; British publisher William Blackwood; Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson; American novelist Henry James; American connoisseur and arts patron Isabella Stuart Gardner; French translator and critic Marie-Thérèse Blanc (Th. Bentzon); Lady Louisa Wolseley; Irish historian and activist Alice Stopford-Green; Italian Countess Angelica (Pasolini) Rasponi; Italian poet writer and critic Enrico Nencioni; Italian novelist essayist and critic Mario Pratesi; Italian editor and man of letters Francesco Protonotari; Italian painter Telemaco Signorini. | Selected Letters of Vernon Lee 1856–1935 Volume II - 1885-1889
