British Romanticism and the Reception of Italian Old Master Art 1793-1840

British Romanticism and the Reception of Italian Old Master Art 1793-1840

As a result of Napoleon’s campaigns in Italy Old Master art flooded into Britain and its acquisition became an index of national prestige. Maureen McCue argues that their responses to these works informed the writing of Romantic period authors enabling them to forge often surprising connections between Italian art the imagination and the period’s political social and commercial realities. Dr McCue examines poetry plays novels travel writing exhibition catalogues early guidebooks and private experiences recorded in letters and diaries by canonical and noncanonical authors including Felicia Hemans William Buchanan Henry Sass Pierce Egan William Hazlitt Percy Shelley Lord Byron Anna Jameson Maria Graham Callcott and Samuel Rogers. Her exploration of the idea of connoisseurship shows the ways in which a knowledge of Italian art became a key marker of cultural standing that was no longer limited to artists and aristocrats while her chapter on the literary production of post-Waterloo Britain traces the development of a critical vocabulary equally applicable to the visual arts and literature. In offering cultural historical and literary readings of the responses to Italian art by early nineteenth-century writers Dr McCue illuminates the important role they played in shaping the themes that are central to our understanding of Romanticism. | British Romanticism and the Reception of Italian Old Master Art 1793-1840

Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.S. Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies

Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.S. Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies

In Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U. S. : Burke and Madison and Their Contemporary Legacies David A. J. Richards offers an investigative comparison of two central figures in late eighteenth-century constitutionalism Edmund Burke and James Madison at a time when two great constitutional experiments were in play: the Constitution of the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the U. S. Constitution of 1787. Richards assesses how much as liberal Lockean constitutionalists Burke and Madison shared and yet differed regarding violent revolution offering three pathbreaking and original contributions about Burke’s importance. First the book defends Burke as a central figure in the development and understanding of liberal constitutionalism; second it explores the psychology that led to his liberal voice including Burke’s own long-term loving relationship to another man; and third it shows how Burke’s understanding of the political psychology of the violence of “political religions” is an enduring contribution to understanding fascist threats to political liberalism from the eighteenth-century onwards including the contemporary constitutional crises in the U. S. and U. K. deriving from populist movements. Mixing thorough research with personal experiences this book will be an invaluable resource to scholars of political science and theory constitutional law history political psychology and LGBTQ+ issues. | Revolution and Constitutionalism in Britain and the U.

Memory Place and Identity Commemoration and remembrance of war and conflict

Memory Place and Identity Commemoration and remembrance of war and conflict

This book bridges theoretical gaps that exist between the meta-concepts of memory place and identity by positioning its lens on the emplaced practices of commemoration and the remembrance of war and conflict. This book examines how diverse publics relate to their wartime histories through engagements with everyday collective memories in differing places. Specifically addressing questions of place-making displacement and identity contributions shed new light on the processes of commemoration of war in everyday urban façades and within generations of families and national communities. Contributions seek to clarify how we connect with memories and places of war and conflict. The spatial and narrative manifestations of attempts to contextualise wartime memories of loss trauma conflict victory and suffering are refracted through the roles played by emotion and identity construction in the shaping of post-war remembrances. This book offers a multidisciplinary perspective with insights from history memory studies social psychology cultural and urban geography to contextualise memories of war and their ‘use’ by national governments perpetrators victims and in family histories. | Memory Place and Identity Commemoration and remembrance of war and conflict

Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice

Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice

The law plays an ambiguous role in running business. While legal tools can be used to tame uncertainties for example by concluding contracts to safeguard enforcement of future claims they can also generate uncertainty. These secondary uncertainties like ones stemming from vague rights and obligations may be counterbalanced by using different resources and strategies including acting informally modifying business plans or accepting the losses from unpaid dues. This book discusses how small and medium enterprises use the law abstain from using the law and use alternative pathways to manage business uncertainties. Examining these topics through the lenses of an extensive qualitative and quantitative empirical study on justiciable issues access to justice and legal uncertainty among SMEs in Poland it implements and expands upon the paradigmatic paths to justice methodology which has been successfully used to study conflict resolution access to justice and utilisation of the law by individuals in more than 30 jurisdictions. It argues that the grand promise of modern law - that it is a certainty-providing neutral and democratic device to resolve problems and conflicts - is not fully delivered. It reveals how the conditions of a freshly developed capitalism combined with the rule of law backsliding contribute to universal structural problems with access to justice meaning that accessing justice is a resource-hungry process which incentivises small businesses to settle for their legal problems and engage in informal and alternative strategies. | Small and Medium Enterprises Law and Business Uncertainty and Justice

Theory and Practice in Heritage and Sustainability Between past and future

Theory and Practice in Heritage and Sustainability Between past and future

This book explores cultural sustainability and its relationships to heritage from a wide interdisciplinary perspective. By examining the interactions between people and communities in the places where they live it exemplifies the diverse ways in which a people-centred heritage builds identities and supports individual and collective memories. It encourages a view of heritage as a process that contributes through cultural sustainability to human well-being and socially- and culturally-sensitive policy. With theoretically-informed case studies from leading researchers the book addresses both concepts and practice in a range of places and contexts including landscape townscape museums industrial sites every day heritage ‘ordinary’ places and the local scene and even UNESCO-designated sites. The contributors most of whom like the editors were members of the COST Action ‘Investigating Cultural Sustainability’ demonstrate in a cohesive way how the cultural values that people attach to place are enmeshed with issues of memory identity and aspiration and how they therefore stand at the centre of sustainability discourse and practice. The cases are drawn from many parts of Europe but notably from the Baltic and central and south-eastern Europe regions with distinctive recent histories and cultural approaches and heritage discourses that offer less well-known but transferable insights. They all illustrate the contribution that dealing with the inheritance of the past can make to a full cultural engagement with sustainable development. The book provides an introductory framework to guide readers and a concluding section that draws on the case studies to emphasise their transferability and specificity and to outline the potential contribution of the examples to future research practice and policy in cultural sustainability. This is a unique offering for postgraduate students researchers and professionals interested in heritage management governance and community participation and cultural sustainability. | Theory and Practice in Heritage and Sustainability Between past and future
