Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - «This is a new and scholarly study of William Michael Rossetti's séance diary, which is a fascinating first-hand source for the Rossetti brothers in the 1860s and offers a new perspective on the relationship between the Pre-Raphaelite circle and the spiritualist world.»(Jan Marsh) «As quirky and unsettling as the table-turnings it documents, this meticulously edited and annotated séance diary features guest-appearances from the spirits of John Polidori, Elizabeth Siddal and Gabriele Rossetti, among many notable others. Essential reading for anyone interested in the Pre-Raphaelites, Spiritualism, and the Victorian paranormal.»(Dinah Roe, Reader in Nineteenth Century Literature, Oxford Brookes University) William Michael Rossetti's séance diary is a remarkable document in both the history of Pre-Raphaelitism and nineteenth-century spiritualism. In this previously unpublished manuscript, Rossetti meticulously recorded twenty séances between 1865 and 1868. The original motive was the death, in 1862, of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's wife, Elizabeth Siddal. He felt a profound sense of guilt about her and began these séances to reassure himself that she was happy in the afterlife. Messages came from many spirits within the Pre-Raphaelite circle and provide an unprecedented record of spiritualist activity in the late nineteenth century. Questions and answers fill the pages of the diary, many of them communicating uncannily accurate information or details that could be known only to the participants.This book also includes another unpublished document showing spiritualism in action. It comprises a long letter to Dante Gabriel Rossetti written in 1856 from the artist and spiritualist medium Anna Mary Howitt recounting her interactions with the spirit world and her (sometimes violent) experiences as she became aware of the extent of her psychic powers. Both sections of this book provide an original insight into the cult of spiritualism and throw considerable light on the interactions between members of the Pre-Raphaelite circle and beyond.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Offers new readings of Mandeville's Travels in its original historical context, in its textual history and in the present day.Mandeville's Travels was a medieval bestseller. Originally written in French in the mid-fourteenth century, it was translated into Latin and all the main European vernaculars, and survives in over three hundred manuscripts, some extensively illustrated. The book is a skilful translation and repackaging of existing travel and wonder narratives combined with original commentary, in which the probably fictitious English knight Sir John Mandeville recounts his journeys through Europe, the Holy Land and the Far East. It is a book of everything: a romance following a pilgrim-knight's journey, an encyclopaedic world-map in the form of a travelogue, a meditation on human religious, cultural and bodily diversity, an urgent enquiry into the trajectory of salvation history. It combines traditional wonders such as the Plinian "monstrous races" with an assessment of the geopolitical position of Latin Christendom in the wake of the failure of the Crusades to conquer the Middle East. Looking back to classical geography, it also, unknowingly, looked forward to the era of European colonial travel: Christopher Columbus took a copy with him when he sailed west across the Atlantic in 1492. This collection offers new readings of Mandeville's Travels in its original historical context, in its textual history and in the present day; in particular, recent developments in medieval racial theory enable new analyses of Mandeville's post-Crusades arc in the long history of European colonisation and racialisation. Contributors reassess its accounts of Jews, the Mongols, the Islamic Mamluk Empire and the imaginary eastern Christian empire of Prester John, with particular scrutiny of the text's reputation for "tolerance" of racial and religious difference. They examine its entry into print culture in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and the interaction of its textual history with World War I and the aftermath of empire in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. They also consider its resonance in the present day, enquiring whether this medieval Christian book can speak to our diverse and divided moment.…
