Woman in the 19th Century

Sarah Margaret Fuller Ossoli

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

In her groundbreaking work, "Woman in the Nineteenth Century," Sarah Margaret Fuller Ossoli offers a profound exploration of women's roles and rights in a patriarchal society. The text, noted for its blend of transcendentalist philosophy and early feminism, dissects the societal constraints imposed upon women, advocating for their intellectual and social liberation. Fuller's eloquent prose employs both personal narrative and rigorous argumentation, positioning her work as a pivotal commentary within the broader context of 19th-century reform movements, including abolitionism and temperance, thus revealing the intersections of gender and social justice. Sarah Margaret Fuller Ossoli was a prominent figure in the American transcendentalist movement and a passionate advocate for women's rights. Her radical ideas and experiences in intellectual discussions with contemporaneous thinkers like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau shaped her convictions about gender equality. Through her extensive travels and connections with literary circles, she encountered diverse perspectives on women's roles, which fueled her determination to challenge the status quo in society. I highly recommend "Woman in the Nineteenth Century" to readers interested in early feminist thought and the socio-political landscape of 19th-century America. Fuller's incisive arguments remain remarkably relevant today, inviting readers to reflect on the ongoing struggles for gender equality and inspiring new generations to continue the conversation about women's rights.

Food and Drink in the...

Editors Charles River

The social importance placed on food and wine in the Greek world was even more pronounced and had profound consequences for the rest of the world. As one modern historian aptly put it, “How classical Athens was fed is not a matter of marginal importance. Nothing less than the material base of a brilliant civilization is at issue.” Indeed, it was through the ability to create a food surplus that the ancient Greeks were able to establish their poleis and, from these, go on to develop the political and social structures that built the backbone of Western Civilization. Drinking for pleasure, as opposed to simply meeting the body´s requirement for hydration, was so crucial in Greece that a couple historians noted, “In a way, the study of the classics is the study of the consumption of alcohol.” While this assertion is an oversimplification, there is no doubt that alcohol played a crucial role in the evolution of Greek culture. 
Indulgence is at the heart of modern perceptions of eating and drinking for the ancient Romans. The majority of primary sources depicting food and drink that have survived show rich patricians reclining at a table loaded with exotic foods, and Roman diners are often depicted as gorging themselves over numerous courses served over many hours. Of course, the history of eating and drinking for the wider population within the more than 1,000-year span of the empire was somewhat different. What the richest ate was markedly different from the fare on offer to their slaves, and between these two extremes, there were numerous socioeconomic groups whose eating and drinking habits varied enormously. Moreover, since the Roman Empire encompassed much of Europe and the Middle East, the different kinds of food and drinks available in Rome were vast.

Don Troiani, Eric Schnitzer

An artistic rendering of a key campaign in the American Revolution along with historical narrative brings this first United States victory to life.   The Battles of Saratoga are cited as the turning point in the Revolutionary War. Beginning when the armies prepared to face off in June 1777 through the surrender of the British Army in October, the battles of the Northern Campaign were significant to the outcome of the War and the fight for independence. As a result of the Saratoga battles, the patriots gained confidence, the French entered the war, and the British plan to win the war quickly was put to an end. Master historical painter Don Troiani and historian Eric Schnitzer combine their talents in this new book on Saratoga, the Revolutionary War campaign. This magnificently illustrated history features many new artworks, previously unpublished eyewitness accounts, photographs of important artifacts, and a solid, detailed historical narrative including background on the campaigns leading up to Saratoga.
