Taylor & Francis Ltd Omar Khayyam
Book SynopsisThis book explores the life and work of Omar Khayyam as a provocateur of peace. While Khayyam is known for his poetry, he was foremost a prominent mathematician who looked at the world from a unique perspective. Using the transformative power of mathematics, he brought together seemingly irreconcilable concepts in his work. Through his art, philosophy, and mathematics, Khayyam sought to create harmony between what on the surface looks like a clash between his scientific view, romantic and often provocative poetry, and philosophy. The book sheds light on his spiritual and philosophical journey through a cross-sectional account of his poetry, philosophical view, and mathematics and science. It explores the complex inner life of a multidimensional scholar as he negotiated between faith and science, constructing a framework for peace by looking at the world as it presents itself to us, contemplating the temporality of life and enriching it with wisdom and joy.Historically and culTable of ContentsSeries Editor's PrefaceIntroduction1 The World Khayyam Was Born Into 2 The Creative Space 3 Life as Integration of Moments 4 Khayyam, the Peace Provocateur ConclusionAppendix: A Stylometric Analysis of Khayyam's PoetryReferencesIndex

Taylor & Francis Ltd Hannah More in Context
Book SynopsisThis book relocates the long life and literary career of the poet, playwright, novelist, philanthropist and teacher Hannah More (1745-1833) in the wider social and cultural contexts that shaped her, and which she helped shape in turn. One of the most influential writers and campaigners of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, More's reputation has suffered unfairly from accusations of paternalism and provincialism, and misunderstandings of her sincerely-held but now increasingly unfamiliar evangelical beliefs. Now, in this book, readers can explore a range of essays rooted in up-to-the-minute research which examines newly-recovered archival materials and other evidence in order to present the fullest picture yet of this complex and compelling author, and the era she helped mould with her words.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Hannah More in ContextKerri Andrews and Sue Edney Tongues in Trees: Hannah More and the Nature Inscription Robin Jarvis Feeling Good: Sentimental Virtue in Hannah More’s The Search After Happiness (1773) and "Sensibility" (1782) Rose Hilton Defending "Reason’s rein": Rationalism as Persuasive Strategy in Hannah More’s Slavery: A Poem (1788) Adam Bridgen Writing Women at Work Maeve Adams "Hunger is not a postponable want": Hannah More’s charity reconsidered Kerri Andrews Hannah More’s Percy, A Tragedy, in the Spanish and French Theatrical Contexts Begoña Lasa Álvarez The Bluestocking and the Preacher: the Bifurcated Reception of Hannah More in Scandinavia Marie Nedregotten Sørbø Hannah More’s Sympathetic Strategies: Coelebs in Search of a Wife and the Evangelical Novel Nicky Lloyd Books and Readers in Hannah More’s Coelebs in Search of a Wife Joanna Maciulewicz Hannah More Rediscoveries: Letters, Literary Manuscripts, and Inscribed Books Nicholas D.

Taylor & Francis Autofiction and Cultural Memory
Book SynopsisAutofiction and Cultural Memory breaks new ground in autofiction research by showing how it gives postcolonial writers a means of bearing witness to past cultural or political struggles, and hence of contributing to new forms of cultural memory.Most discussion of autofiction has treated it as an individualistic form, dealing with the personal growth of its authors. In doing so, it privileges narratives of private development over those of social commitment and accords with Western concepts of ownership and authorship. By contrast, Hywel Dix shows how a variety of writers outside the Western world have used the techniques of autofiction in a different way, placing themselves on the side lines of their own stories to show solidarity with struggles against imperialism and tyranny.Drawing on examples from Algeria, Ethiopia, the Caribbean, the Americas, India and Turkey, Dix presents autofiction as a form which combines the life stories of authors with the collecti

Taylor & Francis Artists and Their Autobiographies from Today to
Book SynopsisReading life writing that runs from Tracey Emin, Faith Ringgold and Judy Chicago to Marie Bashkirtseff, Benvenuto Cellini and beyond, Artists and Their Autobiographies from Today to the Renaissance and Back investigates the intriguing doubled truths of artistsâ autobiographies: truth in life and truth in art; authorial truth/s and the truth of their art as they saw it. However, this book focuses specifically on the truth of sincerity, which hereâfollowing classic discussions by Reindert Dhondt, Philippe Lejeune and Lionel Trillingâappears as a truth to self that floats free from facts to link avowal and feeling. From there, this volume merges autobiography studies with a history of ideas approach to art to trace sincerityâs constancy and variability across times and cultures. Through this pre-disciplinary dialogue, this book shows that recent and historical artistsâ autobiographies differ in how, not if, they intertwine sincerity in life and art. Along the way, this volume le
