Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This is a collection of either autobiographies or contemporary records of the lives of eight leaders of nineteenth-century American women educators.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This is the seventh part of the successful series which provides art historians and students with primary-source materials relating to the Western reception of Japanese arts from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century. It is now common knowledge that art collectors in Europe around the end… of the nineteenth century played a very important role in the development of Japanese influence on Western art, in particular on the Impressionists who became acquainted with Ukiyoe by Hokusai, or other Japanese artefacts, many of which were imported from Japan by art dealers for their clients in Europe. The majority of those collections of Japanese art held by individual art lovers were dispersed on their deaths, but some were acquired by museums in Europe and America and are now valued as treasures which often form the core of their collections of Japanese art.It is not easy to trace precisely what objects were brought from Japan to the West and in what way some of them are housed today by Western institutions, but one of the most useful tools for art historians are the auction catalogues of those pioneer Japanese art collectors through which they are able to assess the very early phase of Western reception of Japanese arts. However, as such catalogues are mostly published by auction houses for their customers only and are not widely available, very few of them are held or systematically collected by academic libraries. To remedy this omission, this collection brings together sixteen catalogues of auctions which took place around the turn of the century for the sale of collections by eight leading French collectors. Together, they provide academics and students in the subject with a unique and rare primary source. All the catalogues are reproduced with numerous pictures and plates, together with foldouts as originally published.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Founded in 1853, prior to the Dublin Celtic Society, the Ossianic Society, with such members as John O'Daly, William Elliot Hudson, John Edward Pigot, Owen Connellan, John Windele, and William Smith O'Brien, played a leading role in the Celtic revival in mid-nineteenth-century Ireland. The primary aim… of the Society was to collect, publish, and translate the Ossian and Finnian poems in English; and during its nine-year existence it released six volumes of its Transactions, all of which are reprinted here in a facsimile format. Despite its short life, the Society's influence on later key Irish literary figures-W. B. Yeats in particular-is evident, and the Transactions are vital source texts for all students and scholars of Irish literature and poetry.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The very first facsimile reprint collection of the works of Ada Ballin (1863-1906), the leader of childcare and parenting in Victorian Britain and a pioneer of the scientific management of infant health. Ballin founded an influential magazine, Baby, for middle-class mothers, organized a series of trad…e fairs, 'Baby's Exhibition', and gave many lectures. In this collection, in addition to all of her published books, her lecture at the famous International Health Exhibition and a series of pamphlets, 'Mother's Guide', are reprinted with many illustrations. Extracts from the Introduction by Junko Mitsui-Yamamoto:--- Mrs. Ballin (Ada Sara Ballin, 1862-1906) was recognized as a foremost expert in childcare. She was also known as a dress reformer, a magazine editor and proprietor, a lecturer, and an author of advice books. She started her career as a dress reformer, but her advice on childcare covered clothing, food, shelter, education, and hygiene including expectant mothers. As The Times noted, the phrase 'Ballin Baby', which indicated a healthy, beautiful and strong baby, had obtained the status of a 'household word' by the turn of the century. Mrs.Ballin tried to enlighten Victorian women, especially mothers, on the importance of hygiene and health. She also advised them in making use of novel commodities to reduce their domestic burdens and to have a more comfortable life, responding to the growth and transformation of industry, retailing and consumer activities. Her attitude seemed essentially modern, questing for rationality. Maintaining the viewpoint of a mother, an amateur expert, Mrs. Ballin had a challenged educational profile when compared with male professionals. Her works were mainly targeted at middle-class women, at the time when the middle classes grew both in number and economic power. This reprint collection of advice books by Mrs. Ballin shows us a good paradigm of the shifting image of ideal mothers and children as well as the commodification of Victorian and Edwardian childrearing. More broadly, we get plenty of information on the practice of the contemporary 'home-making' viewed from materialistic, physical and psychological viewpoints. 'Science', or 'the scientific approach' was one of the most fashionable and reliable standpoints for understanding and reforming various matters at that time. We can see how 'science' came to be widely adopted into the daily lives of the ordinary person through the works of Mrs. Ballin. This reprinted collection will give new perspectives to those who are interested in the history of women, children, gender relations, family, education, consumption, hygiene and health .

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Published by Eureka Press, Tokyo, and distributed outside Japan by Routledge. This is the second part of a new facsimile series which reprints The Modern Traveller, originally published in 30 volumes between 1825 and 1829. --Edited by Josiah Conder, known as the editor of journals like The Eclectic Re…view or The Patriot, The Modern Traveller was a successful series of travel books published just prior to Britain's transport revolution which saw the development and rapid expansion of roads and railways. --Reflecting Britain's imperial ambitions and the expansion of its Empire around the globe, the series had global range, including coverage of the Middle East, Africa, North & South America, and Asia. It provided general readers with the latest information on each country's geography, history, political situation, culture, customs, major cities, travel routes along historic sites, scenic spots, and so on. --Each volume contains illustrations and foldout maps which are all faithfully reproduced in the reprint. The second part of the series is from the seventh volume to the thirteenth: the four volumes from the seventh to the tenth are for India; the eleventh for Burma, Siam, and Anam; the twelfth and the former part of the thirteenth for Persia; and the latter part of the thirteenth for China. -- Including very interesting description and views of Britain to the Asia in early 19th century, those volumes are valuable source for any researchers on the history of relationship between Britain and Asian countries. Extract from the New Introduction to the 1st part by Noriyuki Harada --- Publishing in the early nineteenth century greatly influences scientific reasoning and dissemination of knowledge. The Modern Traveller: A Description, Geographical, Historical, and Topographical of the Various Countries of the Globe, now reprinted and published by Eureka Press in Japan, can be regarded as one of the most influential volumes of this type of publication. It was originally serialized from 1825 to 1829 and was finally compiled and published by James Duncan, a London publisher, in 1830 as the whole set of thirty volumes on which this reprint edition is based.The text of the 1830 edition is almost the same as that of the first serialized publication except for some corrections by the editor himself; the original maps as well as illustrations, too, are improved in the 1830 edition. This Eureka Press edition magnifies the 1830 edition twenty per cent for the reader's convenience.--- --- How can we now evaluate the whole set of thirty volumes of The Modern Traveller Conder's close examination of early nineteenth-century travel books is of course replaced and updated by more modern 'Geographical, Historical, and Topographical' research; as for maps and illustrations, too, we can use more accurate and convenient means. Although the unity of geographical, historical and topographical description is still useful and valuable, better versions are available for the modern reader. It may be that the excellent unity of The Modern Traveller itself requires a revision after nineteenth- and twentieth-century colonialism, imperialism, Darwinism, and sceptical thoughts on the advancement of knowledge.However, we should not forget that Conder's editorial process clearly shows the way to understand the world and the energy his contemporaries held in general. Being well aware of academic advancement in geography, he strenuously accumulated information and knowledge, and examined them closely. This accumulation of information and knowledge can be widely observed in many academic and scientific disciplines from the late eighteenth century; successive publication of dictionaries of various genres, encyclopaedias like Encyclopaeedia Britannica (first published from 1768 to 1771), and numerous literary anthologies clearly illustrates the tendency. As mentioned above, the adjective 'Modern' seems to have Conder's special connotation of his academic and sci.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This is a facsimile reprint in five volumes of nine travel guides and handbooks published for Western travellers in the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century. The opening of the Suez Canal and the transcontinental 'Pacific' railway in America, both in 1869, made the world drastically smaller… and initiated a new phase of word travel. Regular international services by steamships and the Pacific railways made travel to the Far East from either Europe or from America far simpler and cheaper. In order to respond to the demand from the growing number of steamship and rail passengers, many of whom were making a 'world tour', various guide books were published around this time. Some were small booklets, including timetables and/or tourist guides distributed only to the passengers, while others were thick handbooks, including encyclopaedic information about routes, ports, and towns. They included many illustrations, charts, and maps. These publications are now a vital source of historic data for anyone interested in the history of travel and tourism.They are also an important source for historians of the modernization of Asia and Japan, but, until now, most of them have been extremely difficult to obtain in good condition, their many fold-out pages being especially susceptible to damage. This new facsimile collection from Edition Synapse-now available outside Japan from Routledge-includes nine of the most important guides. Along with the entire texts, the collection also reproduces all the original maps, charts and tables.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION A collection of facsimile reprints of early books and pamphlets on women's physical education and related subjects of health and sports published in the nineteenth- to early twentieth-century Britain. The collection totals eighteen items, including: exercise books; school textbooks…; surveys and research on the health of female students, as well as handbooks of modern sports such as tennis, golf, hockey, cycling etc. Includes many illustrations and pictures. Arranged by category in five volumes. Including hard-to-obtain items, the collection offers a valuable source of information, not only on the history of female education, but also on gender studies, sexuality, and the body. Extracts from the Preface by Setsuko Kagawa --- In the past few decades historians have developed an interest in the human body, health and physical education, from the viewpoints of social class, gender and national efficiency. As to the history of women's physical education and sport in nineteenth- to twentieth-century Britain, we already have pioneering works by feminist researchers like Sheila Fletcher, Kathleen McCrone, and Jeniffer Hargreaves.Quite recently Ina Zweiniger-Bargielowska explored the emergence of modern male and female bodies and physical culture, within the wide context of debates about racial fitness and active citizenship from 1880s until 1939. However, we have much difficulty in investigating the actual state of early physical exercise and organized physical education for women in this period because of the lack and disparity of historical documents. Research will be much helped by having scattered contemporary literature brought together in these newly reprinted volumes.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This is a collection of writings by the American chemist and home economist, Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards. From the Preface by Kazuko Sumida: Ellen H. Swallow Richards (1842-1911) was the first woman graduate and staff member at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the first woman prof…essional chemist in the U.S. She was known mainly as a founder of the American home economics movement and, to a lesser extent, as the mother of American public health. Her contribution included not only the establishment of the standards for water analysis, but also the provision of school lunches, food and environmental education, and the consumer movement. Through such activities, Richards showed people a new direction to follow for modernized home and urban life. She is deserving of special attention as a woman who was active both academically and socially from the late 19th century to the early 20th century when the foundation of modern society in the U.S. was laid. This collection provides primary sources which will enable the reader to have a proper understanding of the thoughts of Richards who advocated a science of environment as early as the 19th century.She considered environment to be a total whole, and was active in pursuit of what science, human possibility or development should be. For her, environmental education was strongly linked to social and ethical issues, and the key to the solution for these was the very human activities in daily life affecting their environment. Richards, whose cooperative belief that 'man is a part of organic nature, subject to laws of development and growth' (Euthenics) was a basis of daily life, cannot be called merely a material feminist-(which a certain scholar classified her as). What she had in mind means 'the man in the community environment'. These materials are essential for interdisciplinary research that includes multiple fields such as the history of science, of education, of ideas, social history of the U.S., sociology, and feminism as well as home economics and public health. The thoughts and lifelong activities of Richards will show us a direction at which we ought to aim in current everyday life.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Published by Edition Synapse in Japan and distributed by Routledge outside Japan. This is the third set of the series which collects publications by Christian missionary women, both missionary wives and female missionaries, who worked in Japan from the late nineteenth century to the early twentieth ce…ntury. Many Christian missionaries came to Japan after the Meiji restoration in 1868. Although they were not able to convert many Japanese, they played a significant role in the rapid Westernization of Japan. In particular, women missionaries took leading roles in activities relating to local women and children in Japan, and they left an important and indelible mark in the history of the education of Japanese women and children. This third and the last collection in the series includes fourteen works on Japan by American women in the missions who lived in the country in early twentieth century while Japan more or less completed the early modernization and tried to be a member of the western society. Authors of those books observed rapid changes in the society and not only reported the facts, but also gave detailed analyses of the background to them.Their observations illustrate these women's great curiosity, genuine concern for the local society, and their positive attitude in trying to comprehend a very different culture. The contents covered by each book are broad, most of them refer not only to the missionary activities, but try to introduce Japan in general, as well as the historical and religious background, and the daily life of ordinary people and the situation of Japanese women.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The Industrial Revolution in Britain from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century had profound effects on social and economic conditions; the working conditions of women were not an exception. Trade for women which had been rather confined to a small area such as nurses or governesses changed and Bri…tish society began to permit more opportunities for women to take jobs in trades which used to be dominated by male workers. They included not only the manual labour, but also the professions, such as medicine. We often see those women workers in Victorian novels, and authors like Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell and others treated the issue of the working conditions or vocational education of women as important topics for their works, and the subject is now being widely studied by literary scholars as well as historian on Victorian society. This set of facsimile reprints includes eleven key contemporary publications which cover a wide range of the issues of women and trade in nineteenth-century England from various different perspectives.A pamphlet by Josephine Butler and a collection of essays by Frances Cobb, James Stuart, and George Butler, handbooks and educational books for women looking for jobs, official reports and statistics etc. are collected here, as well as a rare guidebook for young women and men published by The Apprenticeship and Skilled Employment Association in the early twentieth century. All together, it represents a very useful primary source of information for scholars on Victorian social history, culture, and literature.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This set is a complete collection of the poetic works of Amy Lowell, in a facsimile reprint of the first editions. Amy Lowell was intrigued with Japanese art and culture due to the influence of her brother Percival, a pioneering American Japanologist. She started writing poems in her late twenties, in…cluding many with Japanese subjects at the core. Throughout her life she continued to publish poetry, and all ten volumes are collected here. She was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize, and though overlooked for many years there has been a resurgence of interest in Lowell by recent scholars of American literature as a great poet of Japonism and Orientalism, and as a poet whose work reflected her lesbian sexuality. The collection is supplemented by her translation of Chinese poems, essays on poetry, and selected articles from poetry journals.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - There is a growing interest in the French Japonism movement of the late nineteenth century, and academic research in the subject is developing in both quantity and quality. However, much of this scholarly activity is confined to the area of art history and, apart from some work on leading authors like… Pierre Loti or Judith Gautier, very little scholarship has emerged from the field of French literature. Indeed, many works produced by popular French authors during this period have long been forgotten, even in France. Addressing the absence of source material for those studying such Japonism literature in France, this is the second part of the series to reprint in facsimile format the French popular novels with Japan or Japanese as their main topic during the epoque of Japonism from the end of the nineteenth century to early twentieth century. The second set reprints five works published in the first decade of the twentieth century. Many illustrations and plates including some in colour are reproduced as in the original first editions.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - This is the third and the final set of the Edition Synapse series which makes available in facsimile Yone Noguchi's complete works in English, including all his published poetry, novels, literary essays, and art criticism. Yonejiro Noguchi (1875-1947), known in the West as Yone Noguchi, was an influen…tial writer of poetry, fiction, and essays (including art and literary criticism) in both English and Japanese. He was the only Japanese author who published original literary works in English, and he gained a strong reputation in Western cultural society before the Second World War. At the age of eighteen, he travelled to America alone and arrived in San Francisco in 1893. Soon after he found work there as a domestic servant. The bohemianism of the literary community in the Bay area attracted him and he made the acquaintance of Joaquin Miller, a renowned American turn-of-the-century poet. Miller then introduced him to Gelett Burgess, the editor of a humorous literary little magazine called The Lark. Burgess immediately noticed Noguchi's talent for poetry and started to publish his poems in the magazine.When The Lark ceased publication, Noguchi continued to write poems and launched his own magazine, The Twilight, which, unfortunately, lasted for only two issues. Even after his return to Japan as a successful author and his appointment by Keio University as their first professor of English Literature, he appeared to value the format of the 'little magazine' as a medium for publishing poems. Together with his fellow poets, he edited another poetry magazine, Iris, which carried the works of English and Japanese poets in both languages. This Edition Synapse collection-now available outside Japan from Routledge-reprints all the issues of those three magazines. The collection reproduces covers of the magazine in colour, along with many illustrations. The set is a vital source for those studying this remarkable and unique literary figure. It will also be welcomed by those researching the literary contacts between Japan and the West around the turn of the twentieth century.
