Book review: Beatrice Laurent, Water and Women in the Victorian Imagination. Oxford: Peter Lang, 2021
Tim Sommer, Carlyle, Emerson and the Transatlantic Uses of Authority
The bond between Thomas Carlyle and his younger American mentee Ralph Waldo Emerson was for a long time seen as the defining transatlantic partnership of the Anglophone nineteenth century. The productive tension between irascible Scot and enigmatic Yankee was seen as the era's inescapable double act. The frenemies that helped explain both Old World and New
P aula M c D owell . The Invention of the Oral
Modern conceptions of “oral culture” are largely a product of a mid-twentieth-century interdisciplinary moment. In that period of media transformation, classicists such as Milman Parry, anthropologists such as Claude Lévi-Strauss and Jack Goody, literary critics such as Walter J. Ong, and media theorists such as Marshall McLuhan all seized on the idea of the preliterate or nonliterate condition of humankind as a heuristic through which to underst…
Britain as Prophecy
Chapter 4 explores the idea of the “choreography of reform” in performances by the Horace Mann and Horace Greeley. Upon returning from a tour of Britain in 1845, Mann felt compelled to tell his fellow Americans about the failings of the English education system. Five years later, Greeley returned from the 1851 Great Exhibition, proclaiming that he had witnessed the future. They toured the United States over the course of the next decade performin…
Lecturing the Atlantic
Lecturing the Atlantic argues for a new interpretation of the public lecture, as one of the nineteenth-century Anglo-American world’s most important cultural forms. It reorients our understanding of lecturing during the “lyceum movement” by seeing it as an international and cross-media phenomenon patterned by cultural investment in an “Anglo-American commons.” series of case studies shows how some of the midcentury North Atlantic world’s most end…
Lecturing the Atlantic
"Lecturing the Atlantic is a re-interpretation of the 'public lecture' as one of the most important cultural forms of the nineteenth century Anglo-American world. Wright shows how key figures including Frederick Douglass, Ralph Waldo Emerson and William Makepeace Thackeray used the lecture hall to explore Anglo-American relations and themes of progress and national identity"...Provided by publisher

The results of locomotion
During the mid-nineteenth century, appearances by returning travellers were a ubiquitous feature of the American popular lecture circuit. Attending such talks was one of the few means by which the majority of citizens acquired an insight into distant cultures. These ‘travel lectures’ became an idiom of an emerging mass entertainment culture, one of the period's more under-appreciated and idiosyncratic cultural practices. Drawing upon a range of a…
Recollections of Great Gardeners
The National Museum of Science and Industry
The National Museum of Science and Industry is one of world's leading museums devoted to history and public understanding of science, technology, and medicine. It owes its origin to spirit and drive of Prince Albert, profits of Great Exhibition of 1851 (held in nearby Hyde Park), and subsequent founding in 1857 of South Kensington Museum, an institution concerned with union of arts and sciences in pursuit of profitable industry. The collections t…
