DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Pen, Pencil, Baton and Mask Biographical Sketches If there be one thing remarkable than another - outside the musical gifts - of the distinguished oratorio-leader and composer, Sir Joseph Barnby, it is his absolute hatred of humbug, his gentle, genuine nature, and his simplicity of character. The same atmosphere is observable throughout the family, from your gracious hostess herself to the three children of the house - a bright, friendly pair of Westminster scholars, and a sweet young maiden just at the age where 'the brook and river meet.' The air is full of winning cordiality and kindness in this home of harmony and of love, for Lady Barnby has the happy knack of bringing people together, and of impressing her charming and vivid personality on them, and the young people have imbibed the unconscious influence of their parents, and are natural and unaffected as heart could wish. Sir Joseph Barnby was born at York, and is the youngest of fifteen children - a circumstance which naturally caused his father to be a poor man. 'But remarkable in his way and a perfect dear, ' says his gifted son. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSarah Grand was one of the most prominent New Women of the 1890s and a notable social purity feminist and suffragist. This collection offers important insights into the full range of her journalistic output and lesser-known fictional writings. It also makes available biographical and autobiographical material, and previously unpublished manuscript sources. The first volume reproduces Grand's articles and the contemporary critical reception of her work. The letters in volume two, written mostly in the 1920s and 1930s, shed light on Grand's genesis as a writer and her interaction with 1890s artistic and feminist circles. The third and fourth volumes contain a selection of short stories from three collections published at and after the turn of the century. These comment on some of the explosive issues of that time: feminism, decadence, eugenics, class, race and war. They also reflect Grand's exploration of the interplay between gender and genre.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRecent years have seen a rennaissance of scholarly interest in the fin-de-siécle fiction of the New Woman. New Woman Strategies offers a new approach to the subject by focusing on the discursive strategies and revisionist aesthetics of the genre in the writings of three of its key exponents: Sarah Grand (1854-1943), Olive Schreiner (1855-1920) and Mona Caird (1854-1932). The study explores how each writer drew on, mimicked, feminized and ultimately transformed traditional literary and cultural tropes and paradigms: feminity, allegory and mythology.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom the late nineteenth century women began to enter British universities. Their numbers were small and their gains hard won and fiercely contested, yet they inspired a whole new genre of fiction. This collection of largely forgotten and rare texts forms a valuable primary resource for scholars of literature, social history and women’s education.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis materialist study of the short story’s development in three diverse magazines reveals how, at the dawn of modernism, commercial pressures prompted modernist formal innovation in popular magazines, whilst anti-commercial opacity paradoxically formed the basis of an effective marketing strategy that appealed to elitism. Integrating methods of cultural studies with formal analyses, this study builds upon recent work challenging Andreas Huyssen’s provocative formation, the "great divide" of modernism.
