The Life of James Hamilton Stanhope (1788-1825)
Author: Mark Guscin
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527567974
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
James Hamilton Stanhope (1788-1825) was the youngest son of the third Earl Stanhope, half-brother to Lady Hester Stanhope and personally present at the deaths of both Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger in 1806 and General Sir John Moore in Corunna in 1809. After being seriously wounded in the later stages of the Peninsular War, he found happiness in his marriage, which was soon cut short when his wife died giving birth to their second child. Two years later, James committed suicide. This is the first biography of James Hamilton Stanhope, covering his childhood, his fascinating family, his letters and war diaries, his life after Waterloo, how he met his wife, their short but idyllic life together, and his tragic suicide. It also takes a close look at his literary works (all unpublished except for the war diary), and includes the first-ever edition of his lengthy poem on the death of Sir John Moore at Corunna and his brother Charles Banks Stanhope in the same battle.

Becoming Virginia Woolf
Author: Barbara Lounsberry
Publisher: University Press of Florida
ISBN: 0813048818
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Encompassing thirty-eight handwritten volumes, Virginia Woolf’s diary is her longest work, her longest sustained, and last work to reach the public. In the only full-length work to explore deeply this luminous and boundary-stretching masterpiece, Barbara Lounsberry traces Woolf’s development as a writer through her first twelve diaries—a fascinating experimental stage, where the earliest hints of Woolf’s pioneering modernist style can be seen. Starting with fourteen-year-old Woolf’s first palm-sized leather diary, Becoming Virginia Woolf illuminates how her private and public writing was shaped by the diaries of other writers including Samuel Pepys, James Boswell, the French Goncourt brothers, Mary Coleridge, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Woolf’s “diary parents”—Sir Walter Scott and Fanny Burney. These key literary connections open a new and indispensable window onto the story of one of literature’s most renowned modernists.
