Literary Bric-à-Brac and the Victorians by Jen Harrison Pdf
What are we to make of the Victorians’ fascination with collecting? What effect did their encounters with the curious, exotic and downright odd have on Victorian writers and their works? The essays in this collection take up these questions by examining the phenomenon of bric-à-brac in Victorian literature. The contributors to Literary Bric-à-Brac and the Victorians: From Commodities to Oddities explore sites of unusual concurrence (including museums, the home, art galleries, private collections) and the way in which bric-à-brac brought the alien into everyday settings, the past into the present and the wild into the domestic. Focusing on the representation of material culture in Victorian literature, the essays in this volume seek out miscellaneous and incongruous objects that take readers beyond the commonplace paradigms associated with commodity culture. Individual chapters analyse the work of writers as different as Edward Lear and John Henry Newman, Robert Browning and George Eliot, Charles Dickens and Lewis Carroll. In so doing they shed light on a dizzying array of topics and objects that include class and capitalism, the occult and the sacraments, Darwinism and dandyism, umbrellas, textiles, the Philosopher’s Stone and even the household nail.

Bric-à-brac man by Russell H. Greenan Pdf
Par ou commencer ? En voilà, une question piège. Dieu seul sait ou naissent tous les drames personnels, et bien que le Très-Haut soit supposé être partout, Il n'est jamais dans le coin lorsque l'on a besoin de lui. Je rencontrai mon cousin, Maurice Fitzjames, par hasard, cet été. Je venais de garer mon break pourri devant le Harvard Club et je trottais sur Commonwealth Avenue quand je le percutai presque. En fait je n'ai eu aucune chance d'éviter ce saligaud. Comme d'habitude il était habillé telle la vedette d'une comédie de moeurs, une veste en tartan, une chemise à motifs cachemire, un pantalon en toile, et des sandales en daim, et, comme d'habitude, il portait ses lunettes de soleil enrobantes qui dissimulaient ses yeux fuyants et ophidiens. Seule entorse à ses habitudes : il me souriait. Le connaissant, j'en déduisis qu'il venait juste de dévaliser un pauvre bougre ou d'incendier un orphelinat à seule fin de toucher la prime d'assurance.

Bric-a-Brac Stories (Classic Reprint) by Burton Harrison Pdf
Excerpt from Bric-a-Brac Stories Some three years before the opening of our story, Regi's mother had passed away from life, and his father, always a busy man, had plunged deeper into the affairs that kept him almost a stranger to his family. Soon after, Miss Lynch appeared upon the scene, and suddenly, no one knew exactly how or Why, honest Mistress Flanagan, shedding a Niagara of tears and blessings over her nurseling, betook herself and her belongings out of the house where she had lived since Fred wore kilted petticoats. Regi, found by the new governess kicking on the nursery floor and howling for his Chickabiddy, was requested by that lady to accompany her on a visit to his grandmamma's, a proceeding at all times calculated to subdue the infant spirit. Regi owed his governess to the recommendation of grandmamma, herself an invalid old lady with nerves, who lived in a great silent house in Washington Square, attended by a companion whose duty it was to talk about medicines and symptoms, to fetch Shawls and to feed the cocka too. After a call on grandmamma, the little boy would prance and caper like a colt in pasture, when he got into the open air again. Miss Lynch was a tall, gray woman, with cold eyes, and a measured way of speaking. She had a rigid back, and once, when, in the fulness of his affectionate spirit, the boy ventured upon giving her a hug, he was awed by the creaking of whalebone of which she seemed to be composed. At her waist she wore a bunch of clank mg keys, and a silver watch that Regi came to look upon as the controlling power of his life. At the bid ding of that monitor he had to get up, to bathe, to dress, to eat his porridge, to study, to exercise, to go to bed. He sometimes Wished that he might treat this tyrant of a watch as the March Hare served the Hatter's. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
