On the contrary, much less attention has been paid on labour ? both manual and intellectual ? as well as the structure of production and objects derived from manufacturing activities, despite the fact that Ravenna is the place which preserves the highest number of historical evidence among all centres of the late Roman Mediterranean. Its cultural heritage is vast and composite, ranging from papyri to inscriptions, from ivories to marbles, as well as luxury objects, pottery, and coins. Starting from concrete typologies of hand-manufactured goods existing in the Ravennate milieu, the book aims at exploring the multifaceted traditions of late antique and early Byzantine handicraft from the fourth to the eighth century AD. Its perspective is to pay attention more on patronage, social taste, acculturation, workers and the economic industry of production which supported the demand, circulation and distribution of artefacts, than on the artistic evaluation of the objects themselves. 606 $aArchitecture$zRavenna (Exarchate) 606 $aHandicraft$zRavenna (Exarchate)$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aRavenna (Exarchate)$xBuildings, structures, etc 610 $aRavenna. 610 $aarchaeology. 610 $acraftsmanship. 610 $alabour. 615 0$aArchitecture 615 0$aHandicraft$xHistory 676 $a945.01 702 $aCosentino$b Salvatore 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996449438203316 996 $aRavenna and the traditions of late antique and early byzantine craftsmanship$92566720 997 $aUNISA LEADER 04489nam 2200865 450 001 9910815433003321 005 20200121172140.0 010 $a1-5261-3017-3 024 7 $a10.7765/9781526130174 035 $a(CKB)3810000000290491 035 $a(OCoLC)1085603934 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse72918 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5405955 035 $a(OCoLC)1007378934 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5405955 035 $a(UkMaJRU)992979626816201631 035 $a(DE-B1597)659341 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781526130174 035 $a(EXLCZ)993810000000290491 100 $a20191128h20172007 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||#---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aBotany, sexuality and women's writing, 1760-1830 $efrom modest shoot to forward plant /$fSam George 205 $aPaperback edition. 210 1$aManchester, UK :$cManchester University Press,$d2017. 210 4$dİ2007 215 $a1 online resource (ix, 261 pages) $cillustrations; digital file(s) 311 $a0-7190-8845-3 311 $a0-7190-7697-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aList of figures -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- 1.

In particular, she discusses British women's engagement with the Swedish botanist, Carl Linnaeus, and his unsettling discovery of plant sexuality. Previously ignored primary texts of an extraordinary nature are rescued from obscurity and assigned a proper place in the histories of science, eighteenth-century literature, and women's writing. The result is groundbreaking: the author explores nationality and sexuality debates in relation to botany and charts the appearance of a new literary stereotype, the sexually precocious female botanist. She uncovers an anonymous poem on Linnaean botany, handwritten in the eighteenth century, and subsequently traces the development of a new genre of women's writing - the botanical poem with scientific notes. The book is indispensable reading for all scholars of the eighteenth century, especially those interested in Romantic women's writing, or the relationship between literature and science. 606 $aBotanical literature$xAuthorship$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aBotanical literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPlants, Sex in 606 $aWomen botanists$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aBotany in literature$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aLiterature$2mup 606 $aLiterary Theory$2bicssc 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh`$2bisach 606 $aIreland$2thema 610 $aBritish women's engagement. 610 $aCarl Linnaeus. 610 $aCollinsonia. 610 $aErasmus Darwin. 610 $aLinnaean Sexual System. 610 $aLinnaean classification. 610 $aMary Wollstonecraft. 610 $abotanical classification. 610 $abotanical literature. 610 $aeighteenth-century Britain. 610 $afemale mind. 610 $afemale modesty. 610 $afloristry. 610 $aplant sexuality. 610 $asexual anxiety. 615 0$aBotanical literature$xAuthorship$xHistory 615 0$aBotanical literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPlants, Sex in. 615 0$aWomen botanists$xHistory 615 0$aBotany in literature$xHistory 615 7$aLiterature 615 7$aLiterary Theory 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh` 615 7$aIreland 676 $a809.9355808209033 700 $aGeorge$b Sam$cDr.,$01687239 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815433003321 996 $aBotany, sexuality and women's writing, 1760-1830$94060577 997 $aUNINA
