It is based on a close analysis of various types of relevant information: Alston's bibliography of 1965, showing that this source needs to be revised urgently; the recently published online database Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO) with respect to sources of information never previously explored or analysed (such as book catalogues and library catalogues); Carol Percy's database on the reception of eighteenth-century grammars in contemporary periodical reviews; and so-called precept corpora containing data on the treatment in a large variety of grammars (and other works) of individual grammatical constructions. By focusing on individual grammars and their history a number of long-standing questions are solved with respect to the authorship of particular grammars and related work (the Brightland/Gildon grammar and the Bellum Grammaticale; Ann Fisher's grammar) while new questions are identified, such as the significant change of approach between the publication of one grammar and its second edition of seven years later (Priestley), and the dependence of later practical grammars (for mothers and their children) on earlier publications. The contributions present a view of the grammarians as individuals with (or without) specific qualifications for undertaking what they did, with their own ideas on teaching methodology, and as writers ultimately engaged in the common aim presenting practical grammars of English to the general public. Interestingly - and importantly - this collection of articles demonstrates the potential of ECCO as a resource for further research in the field.Topics in English linguistics ;59.English languageGrammarHistoryGrammariansGreat BritainBiographyEnglish languageTextbooksHistory18th centuryEnglish languageHistoryEnglish/language.grammarians.historical linguistics.English languageGrammarHistory.GrammariansEnglish languageHistoryEnglish languageHistory.428.2Tieken-Boon van Ostade Ingrid170876MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782778203321Grammars, grammarians, and grammar-writing in eighteenth-century England3804075UNINA03358nam 22006855 450 991079380050332120230102051038.01-4875-3208-31-4875-3209-110.3138/9781487532086(CKB)4100000008207127(MiAaPQ)EBC5774589(DE-B1597)530956(OCoLC)1101101121(DE-B1597)9781487532086(MdBmJHUP)musev2_108125(EXLCZ)99410000000820712720200406h20192019 fg engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Dramaturgy of the Spectator Italian Theatre and the Public Sphere, 1600-1800 /Tatiana KorneevaToronto : University of Toronto Press, [2019]©20191 online resource (274 pages)Toronto Italian Studies1-4875-0535-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Chronology -- Introduction -- 1.

Liberty and the Audience -- Epilogue."The Dramaturgy of the Spectator: pioneers a shift in the way we think about theatre audience as both theoretical concept and historical phenomenon by examining the metomorphosis of spectators from an uncritical mass of early modern theatre-goers to an Enlightenment audience of experts and critics. This study argues for a gradual change in the self-conception of the spectatorship during the two"golden" centuries of Italian dramatic literature, outlining the dramatic strategies by which theatre called into being an adjusting audience capable of both aesthetics and political analysis. The author shows that, contrary to expectations, the public's progressive centrality to the theatre helped to create rather than hinder the playwrights's self-assertion and expression. At the same time, the discussion moves beyond spectatorship per se to consider a range of cultural assumptions and practices. These include the emergent public sphere, the power structures and social and cultural politics in Italy."--Provided by publisherToronto Italian studies.Italian dramaTo 1700History and criticismItalyfastCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastHistory.fastart.audience.drama.dramaturgy.history of the theatre.italian history.italian literature.italian theatre.literature.performance studies.public sphere.spectators.theatre studies.Italian dramaHistory and criticism.792.0945cci1icclaccKorneeva Tatiana, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut476642DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910793800503321The Dramaturgy of the Spectator3718709UNINA04257oam 22005894a 450 991014044520332120230621135327.0(CKB)2670000000557910(SSID)ssj0001669445(PQKBManifestationID)16459986(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001669445(PQKBWorkID)15003870(PQKB)10913546(WaSeSS)IndRDA00057001(OCoLC)1176455003(MdBmJHUP)muse87105(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/35494(oapen)doab35494(EXLCZ)99267000000055791020200721e20202012 uy 0engurm|#||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Death of Conrad Unger: Some Conjectures Regarding Parasitosis and Associated Suicide BehaviorGary J.

Like Gerard de Nerval, David Foster Wallace, Ann Quin and Virginia Woolf before him, Unger was not merely a writer who chose to end his life, but a writer whose work appeared forged from the knowledge of that event's temporary postponement. And while to the uninitiated these literary suicides would most likely appear completely unrelated to the suicide behaviors of insects parasitized by entomopathogenic fungi or nematomorpha, within the pages of this short study we are frequently presented with details that allow us to see the parallels between their terminal choreographies. He investigates what he believes are the essentially binary and contradictory motivations of his suicide case studies: where their self-dispatch becomes an instance of necro-autonomy (death as solution to an external thraldom, or the zombification of everyday life as something requiring the most extreme form of emancipation), while in addition being an instance of necro-equipoise (death as solution to an internal thraldom, or the anguish of no longer being able to slip back comfortably inside that very everydayness). The deadening claustrophobia of human life and achieving a stance outside of it: both barbs on the lines that can only ever detail the sickness, never cure it. Through extracts and synopses of Unger's books, marginalia and underscorings selected from his extensive library, and a brief itinerary of his movements in that last month of exile, a picture of the writer's suicidal obsession begins to form, and it forms at the expense of the man, the idea eating through his brain like a fungal parasite, disinterring the waking corpse to flesh its words.InsectsParasitesInsectsBehaviorAuthorsDeathAuthorsSuicidal behaviorElectronic books.
