Mourning as a cultural phenomenon has become opaque to us in the twentieth century, Schor argues. This book is an effort to recover the culture of mourning that thrived in English society from the Enlightenment through the Romantic Age, and to recapture its meaning. Mourning appears here as the social diffusion of grief through sympathy, as a force that constitutes communities and helps us to conceptualize history. In the textual and social practices of the British Enlightenment and its early nineteenth-century heirs, Schor uncovers the ways in which mourning mediated between received ideas of virtue, both classical and Christian, and a burgeoning, property-based commercial society. The circulation of sympathies maps the means by which both valued things and values themselves are distributed within a culture. Delving into philosophy, politics, economics, and social history as well as literary texts, Schor traces a shift in the British discourse of mourning in the wake of the French Revolution: What begins as a way to effect a moral consensus in society turns into a means of conceiving and bringing forth history.Literature in history (Princeton, N.J.)English literature19th centuryHistory and criticismMourning customsGreat BritainHistory19th centuryEnglish literature18th centuryHistory and criticismMourning customsGreat BritainHistory18th centuryLiterature and historyGreat BritainMourning customs in literatureGrief in literatureDeath in literatureEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Mourning customsHistoryEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Mourning customsHistoryLiterature and historyMourning customs in literature.Grief in literature.Death in literature.821/.009/354Schor Esther H1464687MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780048803321Bearing the dead3674452UNINA04074nam 2201033 a 450 991077813130332120230721031614.00-8147-8468-20-8147-9507-21-4294-9025-X10.18574/nyu/9780814795071(CKB)1000000000476574(EBL)866125(OCoLC)779828428(SSID)ssj0000139538(PQKBManifestationID)11147738(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000139538(PQKBWorkID)10011013(PQKB)11756762(MiAaPQ)EBC866125(OCoLC)170703891(MdBmJHUP)muse10196(Au-PeEL)EBL866125(CaPaEBR)ebr10172690(DE-B1597)548017(DE-B1597)9780814795071(EXLCZ)99100000000047657420060915d2007 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrDisability harassment[electronic resource] /Mark C.

Weber frames his examination of disability harassment on the premise that disabled people are members of a minority group that must negotiate an artificial yet often damaging environment of physical and attitudinal barriers. The book considers courts' approaches to the problem of disability harassment, particularly the application of an analogy to race and sex harassment and the development of legal remedies and policy reforms under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
