Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of Francis Place, (1771-1854) This edition is a reprint, with a few corrections, of the original edition of 1898. When the book first appeared, Francis Place was almost entirely unknown. But during the last twenty years many historians have worked at the social and political development of the British people (as distinguished from the party debates in the British Parliament) during Place's period of activity; and his personality and work have become familiar to most students of the nineteenth century. To the historian Place first appeals as a man who to an unusual degree influenced, and was influenced by, the main currents of political thought and action in his time. In that respect, if, instead of revising this book, I were writing it afresh, I do not think that I should desire to make any very important alterations. I should perhaps expand the chapter on "The Dismal Science" into a general discussion of Place's intellectual position, his relation to Bentham, and the form which the utilitarian ethics took in his mind. In that discussion I should use a long and interesting correspondence on utilitarianism between Place and Joseph Hume (B. Mus. Add. MSS. 35,145, pp. 95-118). Since 1898 I have been in the habit of taking notes of passages about Place in the writings of his contemporaries. On going through those notes I do not find much that would add to or modify the picture of him which I have given in the biography.

The Autobiography of Francis Place
Author: Mary ThalePublisher: Cambridge University Press

Pages : 352
Book Description
Francis Place's autobiography presents a vivid and readable account of the early life of one of the best-known radical reformers of the early 19th century. The publication of Place's manuscript for the first time in book form is a landmark in the expanding field of studies in artisan self-consciousness of the pre-Victorian era. The book will be of obvious value to those interested in the origins of the Reform Movement and especially of the controversial reform group, the London Corresponding society. In his description of the rise and fall of the LCS and of the men who composed it and other reform groups. Place brings to life the human feelings and failings of the working-class democratic movement, and his own lifelong attempts to 'promote the welfare of the working class'.
The Flight of Icarus
Author: James S. AmelangPublisher: Stanford University Press
ISBN: 0804764123
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 510
Book Description
Exploring autobiographical texts written by European urban craftsmen from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries, this wide-ranging book studies memoirs, diaries, family chronicles, travel narratives, and other forms of personal writings from Spain, France, Italy, Germany, and England. In the process, it considers the motivations of the authors, the changing forms and emphases of artisan narratives, and, more generally, the significance of written self-expression in early modern popular culture. By analyzing reading and writing as practices laden with social meaning, this work aims to illuminate the changing role of the lower classes and other groups considered marginal in the history of literature and literacy. It uncovers an “Icarian” logic by which writing about the self and one’s immediate and private world developed as a complex response to widely shared expectations regarding the cultural and political subordination of craftsmen and others relegated to the margins of public life and discourse. The book also contributes to the contemporary interdisciplinary debate concerning the nature and evolution of autobiographical writing. It draws upon those currents within literary studies, such as feminist criticism, which favor a more flexible approach to the study of first-person narrative than that adopted by traditional literary critics and historians of ideas. It also argues for revising the standard history of autobiography, eschewing the teleological presentation of a small handful of classic texts in favor of a more nuanced trajectory in which a wide range of social actors helped shape the emerging patterns of modern self-understanding and expression.
