Sommario/riassunto |

Paola Nestola puts her hands and under the eyes of the readers a comprehensive study to reflect on the ceremonial as a field of construction of religious identity, highlighting the archaeological and archetypal features of an important ceremony of the modern era: the solemn entrance of the bishops into the diocese. In recent decades much has been published about political rituality, both in Portugal and in other countries with deep Christian roots. The book, based on written and visual documents, fits into this scientific context, with the purpose of analysing a little knowne thereal corpus of ceremonial representations but with a strong symbolic and emotional charge. Starting from the unpublished biographical stages of the Archbishop of Braga, Fr. Agostinho de Jesus (1588-1609), will it be possible to approach an incursion into this episcopal ceremony and its archetypal origins? Is it possible to reflect on the imaginative and contemplative experience unleashed on the protagonists of this liturgy? Is it possible to reconstruct the perception that has arisen, in its contemporaries, of the power and jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Braga? Throughout the 17th-18th centuries the solemn ceremony changed following a cultural, religious, political, theological and liturgical change that also took into account the reflections of the Protestant Reformation. For this |

purpose, other iconographic representations, other ceremonial memories of the dioceses of Portugal and its empire make these analytical purposes possible. |

Sommario/riassunto |

A major contribution to the cultural and literary history of the Victorian age, Rule of Darkness maps the complex relationship between Victorian literary forms, genres, and theories and imperialist, racist ideology. Critics and cultural historians have usually regarded the Empire as being of marginal importance to early and mid-Victorian writers. Patrick Brantlinger asserts that the Empire was central to British culture as a source of ideological and artistic energy, both supported by and lending support to widespread belief in racial superiority, the need to transform "savagery" into "civilization," and the urgency of promoting emigration. Rule of Darkness brings together material from public records, memoirs, popular culture, and canonical literature. Brantlinger |

explores the influence of the novels of Captain Frederick Marryat, pioneer of British adolescent adventure fiction, and shows the importance of William Makepeace Thackeray's experience of India to his novels. He treats a number of Victorian best sellers previously ignored by literary historians, including the Anglo-Indian writer Philip Meadows Taylor's Confessions of a Thug and Seeta. Brantlinger situates explorers' narratives and travelogues by such famous author-adventurers as David Livingstone and Sir Richard Burton in relation to other forms of Victorian and Edwardian prose. Through readings of works by Arthur Conan Doyle, Joseph Conrad, H. Rider Haggard, Rudyard Kipling, John Hobson, and many others, he considers representations of Africa, India, and other non-British parts of the world in both fiction and nonfiction. The most comprehensive study yet of literature and imperialism in the early and mid-Victorian years, Rule of Darkness offers, in addition, a revisionary interpretation of imperialism as a significant factor in later British cultural history, from the 1880's to World War I. It is essential reading for anyone concerned with Victorian culture and society and, more generally, with the relationship between Victorian writers and imperialism, 'and between racist ideology and patterns of domination in modern history. |
