Butler after Butler: The Man of Letters as Outsider / Paradis, James G. -- Chronology -- Select Bibliography -- Contributors -- Credits -- IndexSamuel Butler (1835-1902), Victorian satirist, critic, and visual artist, possessed one of the most original and inquiring imaginations of his age. The author of two satires, Erewhon (1872) and The Way of All Flesh (1903), Butler's intellectually adventurous explorations along the cultural frontiers of his time appeared in volume after eccentric volume. Author of four works on evolution, he was one of the most prolific evolutionary speculators of his time. He was an innovative travel writer and art historian who used the creative insights of his own painting, photography, and local knowledge to invent, in works like Alps and Sanctuaries (1881), a vibrant Italian culture that contrasted with the spiritually frigid experience of his High Church upbringing.Despite his range and achievement, there remains surprisingly little contemporary analytical commentary on Butler's work. Samuel Butler, Victorian against the Grain is an interdisciplinary collection of essays that provides a critical overview of Butler's career, one which places his multifaceted body of work within the cultural framework of the Victorian age. The essays, taken together, discuss the formation of Victorian England's ultimate polymath, an artistic and intellectual ventriloquist who assumed an extraordinary range of roles - as satirist, novelist, evolutionist, natural theologian, travel writer, art historian, biographer, classicist, painter, and photographer.Authors, English19th centuryBiographyEssayistsGreat BritainBiographyCriticsGreat BritainBiographyElectronic books.Authors, EnglishEssayistsCritics828/.809Paradis James G., 896933Paradis James G.1942-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456804603321Samuel Butler, Victorian against the grain2004154UNINA07596nam 22008895 450 99646547710331620200702234238.01-282-29790-297866122979083-642-02830-610.1007/978-3-642-02830-4(CKB)1000000000761276(EBL)3064365(SSID)ssj0000312162(PQKBManifestationID)11211272(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000312162(PQKBWorkID)10330180(PQKB)11439710(DE-He213)978-3-642-02830-4(MiAaPQ)EBC3064365(MiAaPQ)EBC6283932(PPN)136310583(EXLCZ)99100000000076127620100301d2009 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrUbiquitous Intelligence and Computing[electronic resource] 6th International Conference, UIC 2009, Brisbane, Australia, July 7-9, 2009, Proceedings /edited by Daqing Zhang, Marius Portmann, Ah-Hwee Tan, Jadwiga Indulska1st ed. 2009.Berlin, Heidelberg :Springer Berlin Heidelberg :Imprint: Springer,2009.1 online resource (402 p.)Information Systems and Applications, incl.

The UIC 2009 conference was technically co-sponsored by the IEEE and the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Scalable Computing. The conference was also sponsored by the Australian Centre of - cellence in Information and Communication Technologies (NICTA). UIC 2009 was accompanied by six workshops on a variety of research challenges within the area of ubiquitous intelligence and computing. The conference was held in Brisbane, Australia, July 7–9, 2009. The event was the sixth meeting of this conference series. USW 2005 (First International Workshop on Ubiquitous Smart World), held in March 2005 in Taiwan, was the ?rst event in the series. This event was followed by UISW 2005 (Second International Symposium on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Smart Worlds) held in December 2005 in Japan. Since 2006, the conference has been held annually under the name UIC (International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing). UIC 2006 was held in September 2006 in Wuhan andThreeGorges,China,followedbyUIC2007heldinJuly2007inHongKong, and UIC 2008 held in June 2008 in Oslo, Norway.
