        Comedy, caricature and the social order, 1820–50

        by Brian Maidment

        Offering an overview of the marketplace for comic images between 1820 and 1850, this book makes a case for the interest and importance of a largely neglected area of visual culture. It considers the impact on the development of print culture of the emergent, but soon widespread, use of lithography and wood engraving, both capable of integrating texts and images cheaply and imaginatively on the printed page. Drawing on a wide range of commercially produced print genres, including song books, play-texts, comic annuals and magazines as well as single plate and series of caricatures, this book traces the ways in which Regency and early Victorian visual humour both sustains some of the characteristics of an earlier caricature tradition while also beginning to develop new ways of analyzing and coping with social change through comic forms and genres. ;

        Cultures and caricatures of British imperial aviation

        Passengers, pilots, publicity

        by Gordon Pirie, Andrew Thompson, John Mackenzie

        The new activity of trans-continental civil flying in the 1930s is a useful vantage point for viewing the extension of British imperial attitudes and practices. Cultures and caricatures of British imperial aviation examines the experiences of those (mostly men) who flew solo or with a companion (racing or for leisure), who were airline passengers (doing colonial administration, business or research), or who flew as civilian air and ground crews. For airborne elites, flying was a modern and often enviable way of managing, using and experiencing empire. On the ground, aviation was a device for asserting old empire: adventure and modernity were accompanied by supremacism. At the time, however, British civil imperial flying was presented romantically in books, magazines and exhibitions. Eighty years on, imperial flying is still remembered, reproduced and re-enacted in caricature. ;

        Spectral Dickens

        The uncanny forms of novelistic characterization

        by Alexander Bove

        Drawing on the recent ontological turn in critical theory, Spectral Dickens explores an aspect of literary character that is neither real nor fictional, but spectral. This work thus provides an in-depth study of the inimitable characters populating Dickens' illustrated novels using three hauntological concepts: the Freudian uncanny, Derridean spectrality, and the Lacanian real. Thus, while the current discourse on character studies, which revolves around values like realism, depth, and lifelikeness, tends to see characters as mimetic of persons, this book invents new critical concepts to account for non-mimetic forms of characterization. These spectral forms bring to light the important influence of developments in nineteenth-century visual culture, such as the lithography and caricature of Daumier and J.J. Grandville. The spectrality of novelistic characters developed here paves the way for a new understanding of fictional characters in general.

        The picture politics of Sir Francis Carruthers Gould

        Britain's pioneering political cartoonist

        by Colin Seymour-Ure, Mark Bryant

        This is the first major study of Britain's pioneering graphic satirist, Sir Francis Carruthers Gould (1844-1925), the first staff political cartoonist on a daily newspaper in Britain, and the first of his kind to be knighted. Written by the distinguished media historian, Colin Seymour-Ure, it is essential reading for anyone interested in cartoons, caricature and illustration and will also be welcomed by students of history, politics and the media. It examines Gould's career in Fleet Street until his retirement after the First World War. It also discusses his illustrations for magazines and books and there is an analysis of his use of symbolism and literary allusion to lampoon such eminent politicians as Gladstone and Joseph Chamberlain. As Lord Baker says in his Foreword, this book is 'a major contribution to our knowledge of British cartooning.'

        Translating Petrarch in early modern Britain

        Canzoniere and Triumphi, c. 1530–1650

        by Marie-Alice Belle, Riccardo Raimondo, Francesco Venturi

        Translating Petrarch in early modern Britain gathers twelve essays by international scholars focusing on the translation of Petrarch's vernacular verse (Canzoniere and Triumphi) into English, from the Tudor age to the mid-seventeenth century (and beyond). Approaching translation as an interpretive process, but also a mode of literary emulation and cultural engagement with Petrarch's prestigious precedent, the collection explores the complex and interconnected trajectories of both poetic works in English and Scottish literary milieux. While situating each translation in its distinct historical, material, and literary context, the essays trace the reception of Petrarch's works in early modern Britain through the combined processes of linguistic and metric innovation, literary imitation, musical adaptation and cultural and material 'domestication'. The collection sheds light on the origins and development of early modern English Petrarchism as part of wider transnational - and indeed, translational-European literary culture.

        The republican line

        Caricature and French republican identity, 1830–52

        by Laura O'Brien, Maire Cross, David Hopkin

        The years between 1830 and 1852 were turbulent ones in French politics - but were also a golden age for French political caricature. Caricature was wielded as a political weapon, so much so that in 1835 the French politician Adolphe Thiers claimed that 'nothing was more dangerous' than graphic satire. This book is the first full study of French political caricature during the critical years of the July Monarchy (1830-48) and the Second Republic (1848-52). Focusing on the crucial question of republicanism, it shows how caricature was used - by both republicans and anti-republicans - to discuss, define and articulate notions of republican identity during this highly significant period in modern French and European history. ;

        Beamte, Schulden, Elegantes Leben

        Zur Sozialphysionomik des Alltagslebens. Eine Auswahl aus dem journalistischen Schriften. Mit einem Nachwort herausgegeben von Wolfgang Drost und Karl Riha

        by Honoré Balzac, Karl Riha, Wolfgang Drost, W. Fred, Wolfgang Drost

        Parallel zu seinem Romanschaffen – auf dieses in vielfacher Hinsicht beziehbar – hat Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850) immer wieder im engeren Sinne journalistisch gearbeitet, etwa zu Beginn seiner literarischen Laufbahn, nach 1830, wo wir ihn als Mitarbeiter der durch Philipon gegründeten Zeitschrift ›La Caricature‹ finden, mit der die großen französischen Karikaturisten Daumier, Gavarni, Grandville etc. hervortreten, oder nach 1840, als er mit der von ihm gegründeten ›Revue Parisienne‹ selbst als Zeitschriftengründer auftritt. Diese Arbeiten stehen in engem Zusammenhang mit den ›literarischen Gebrauchsformen‹ der Zeit, speziell mit der satirischen Essayistik – zum Beispiel in der Art der ›Physiologien-Literatur‹. Dabei entsteht ein enger Konnex zwischen sozialpsychologisch genauer Erfassung der Gesellschaft in ihren unterschiedlichen Ständen, Schichten und Klassen und satirisch-karikaturistischer Darstellung mit allen Mitteln des Witzes und Humors. Wir bringen – mit karikaturistischen Illustrationen der Zeit – eine Auswahl aus den journalistischen Arbeiten Balzacs nach einer deutschen Ausgabe, die zu Beginn unseres Jahrhunderts W. Fred besorgte.

        Among Fellow Primates

        Views of a monkey researcher

        by Volker Sommer

        Man brings apocalyptic plagues to the world and his fellow primates – from global warming to the destruction of forests. While millions of monkeys and apes lived on Earth only a few decades ago, today many species are strongly endangered. In this book the anthropologist and monkey researcher Volker Sommer calls on us to finally protect the fundamental rights such as the right to life, freedom and physical integrity of the great apes. For all his seriousness, Sommer is also a great storyteller who deals with his own profession with humour, sympathy and in a highly instructive way.

        Robert Koch's Ape

        The great mistake of the famous physician

        by Michael Lichtwarck-Aschoff

        During the corona crisis, Robert Koch‘s name has been on everyone‘s lips: Robert Koch is regarded as one of the shining lights in German medical history. However, the expedition that he undertakes in 1906 to the “protected area” of German East Africa even the institute named after him describes as the darkest chapter in Koch‘s history. Lichtwarck-Aschoff‘s oppressive book tells how the Nobel laureate conducted medical tests on people suffering from the sleeping sickness transmitted by the tsetse fly, and recommended the internment of sick people in camps. The aim was to preserve the labour power of the healthy colonised – even if that were at the cost of the infected suffering damage to their body and soul or even dying.
