We are the World's leading principal repository of English Language Novels (first editions) for the Romantic Period with even more first editions than the British Library. This ebook is part of this comprehensive collection of English Language Women's Literature. The ebook was carefully republished from an old book of the 18th or 19th Century. So please do take into consideration, that the quality of the historic book is the primary source for this ebook and it may occur that in the text are bleed throughs, blotches, ink spots, ink marks, type-setting mistakes or hand writings. Even missing pages may occur or the paper quality of the old book might be poor (bridled paper) or the binding was in bad condition and in some cases, there were multifunctional reasons. The pages in front of your eyes are an exact reproduction of the original double pages of the old book and appear in the same font, layout and type-setting as in the old book. The text of this old book are reproduced in digitally enhanced facsimile pages, with full text searchable functions in the historic text and layouts. Each ebook has bookmarks with links related to the historic text. This kind of reproduction bring users closer to the original old book with its great variety in typesetting, characters, drawings, images etc. than text-only products which were retyped. With this ebook you do have increased access to the content. Features in the software provide tools to help locate specific parts of information in the content, i.e. you will find bookmarks with links to the historic table of content, if available in the old book. You may find useful bookmarks with links to specific areas in the texts as chapters or tales or stories. As you can see this ebook comes with Acrobat Reader (trademark of Adobe Systems Inc.) and you will find the features of that software on the top of your computer-screen. That means also no additional hardware, software or investment is required. Quite a huge number of titles are novels. Scholars in the late 18th & early 19th Centuries disliked novels. However the Romantic Period is the first great age of the popular English Novel, this is the time period after Richardson and before Charles Dickens. And at this time Jane Austen wasn’t as famous as she is now. Publisher’s note English Language Women’s Literature of 18th & 19th Centuries People often forget that in 18th & 19th Centuries women's thoughts on various issues were disguised in literature and their 'voices' did not appear widely elsewhere. Many women wrote under a pseudonym or anonymously i.e. including Ann Radcliffe, over 2,300 titles in our collections are anonymous, offering the tempting challenge of determining unknown identities and authorship. As the major 18th & 19th Century libraries tended not to collect such books, some of our titles are even unique copies. If you want to know more about that matter, please let us know your questions. Our collections have been compiled in consultation with scholars and the text of this ebook was identified as poetry. Usually our collections of Women's Literature do not include 'classical' well-known works belonging to the 18th & 19th Centuries, but rather works which enjoyed popular circulation in their own period. While Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice - novels of Jane Austen - are deliberately excluded, as being readily available in other forms, what remains is far from a residue or assortment of imitations. On the contrary, readers are likely to be impressed and surprised by the remarkable diversity of authors and titles that is on view. Some research results Before we introduced our collection of English Language Women's Literature of the 18th & 19th Centuries, Dale Spender’s Standard-Bibliography Mothers of the Novel listed altogether 106 English Language women writers for that time period, we have in fact 356, some names you will find listed below. Effective February 8, 2002, Brown University, RI, USA, mentioned on their Website for the years of publication 1776 – Victorian Period that they have 62 titles of English Language Women's Literature, in our collection we have 958 titles for this time. Sheffield Hallam University (UK) mentioned in one of their publications, that our collection with English Language Titles ...is more comprehensive than the British Library. Recently in World Cat scholars checked one of our titles, Count Roderick’s castle and it is interesting to note that in the USA only 12 other copies of five editions have been reported. All copies were located in libraries in the East of the United States, in Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Virginia, New Jersey, Maryland and Rhode Island. This search and result adds support to the evidence that libraries just did not collect this type of literature, which is now available in this ebook. Offer to you, our reader The old book is a primary source material, republished as an ebook. At this time regarding the content of this ebook there is no brief summary available. If you would like to write a summary of the content of this ebook, we would be pleased to receive your proposal and maybe we could proceed. Publisher’s note English Language Women’s Literature of 18th & 19th Centuries How to use this ebook This ebook (and all the other titles in the collection) supports women studies programs, studies and researches in social history and cultural studies. So why not discover these women’s 'voices' in our ebooks and literature collections, or identify texts from anonymous writers centuries ago. We do hope you will enjoy this ebook and its tools, which of course, were not possible with the old books or periodicals, originally published 200 years ago. Examples with names of female writers and quantities of titles / full text pages in the following genres including names of female writers in each segment: For a brief overview, please see below the quantities in some segments. Of course we can also provide other compilations / segments as authors and titles, places of publication, titles of the famous Minerva Press, years of publication, time periods or subject headings like Ireland related Fictions or Gothic Novels.

L’star system en el cinema mut de Hollywood” es proposa fer conèixer els rostres més importants dels inicis de la fàbrica de somnis, resseguir la popularitat dels actors i les actrius segons la manera com se’n va fer publicitat o segons el gènere de pel·lícules que van protagonitzar. Al públic li agradava retrobar-se amb una gestualitat familiar quan entrava a la sala de cinema; i les estrelles van saber parlar amb un llenguatge emotiu, anant del plor a la rialla, recorrent els sentiments més purs perquè els espectadors de tot el món els reconeguessin com a propis. Encara que el sonor va iniciar-se l’any 1927, alguns creadors van seguir explorant els recursos del silenci, però en un parell d’anys gairebé totes les pel·lícules van deixar de ser mudes. De 1910 a 1929, en l’anomenada era del progrés a l’Amèrica del Nord, les ficcions de Hollywood van poder reflectir a la pantalla els canvis morals, socials i econòmics del nou segle sense pronunciar una paraula. Amb una creativitat desbordant, les stars, convertides en déus de la pantalla, van construir un univers d’extraordinària potència -i poesia- visual. L’exposició vol descobrir als espectadors del segle XXI la modernitat de les pel·lícules silents, convidar-los a meravellar-se davant unes imatges que bateguen i, per això, encara ressonen en els espectacles actuals de la nostra cultura audiovisual.

Gushing Co. — Berwick & Smith Co. Norwood, Mass., U.S.A. INTRODUCTION poet Kabir, a selection from THEwhose songs is here for the first time offered to EngUsh readers, is one of the most interesting personahties in the history of Indian mysticism. Born in or near Benares, of Mohamme- dan parents, and probably about the year 1440, he became in early life a disciple of the celebrated Hindu as- cetic Ramananda. Ramananda had brought to Northern India the reli- gious revival which Ramanuja, the great twelfth-century reformer of Brah- manism, had initiated in the South. This revival was in part a reaction against the increasing formalism of the orthodox cult, in part an assertion of the demands of the heart as against 5 6 SONGS OF KABIR the intense intellectualism of the Ve- danta philosophy, the exaggerated monism which that philosophy pro- claimed. It took in Ramanuja's preaching the form of an ardent per- sonal devotion to the God Vishnu, as representing the personal aspect of the Divine Nature: that mystical "reli- gion of love" which everywhere makes its appearance at a certain level of spiritual culture, and which creeds and philosophies are powerless to kill.
