Winter, Alison: Mesmerized: Powers of Mind in Victorian Britain Winter also analyzes the gendered meaning of mesmerism, in particular its potential as an alternative to, or an enhancement of the power of, invalidism for intellectual women like Ada Lovelace, Harriet Martineau, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. In connection with her interest in mesmerism as a trope for "influence," she discusses Charles Dickens's strong interest in mesmerism, his role as a "conductor" of a community of readers, and Wilkie Collins's similarity to a mesmerist in his ability to stimulate the physiological responses of readers through his sensation novels. Thus, she argues, mesmerism crucially inspired many of the considerable changes in nineteenth-century medicine as well as the reorganization of science and the educational reforms of the later nineteenth century. endeavor.med.nyu.edu /lit-med/lit-med-db/webdocs/webdescrips/winter12157-des-.html   (781 words)

Amazon.com: Books: Mesmerized : Powers of Mind in Victorian Britain Mesmerism helped to change English medical practices and contributed to the rise of women as public figuresfor many female patients (Harriet Martineau, Elizabeth Barrett) regarded their sickness and mesmeric treatment as a source of authority. The chapters on mesmerism and colonial India, and the effect of the idea on mesmerism in changing the image of the homebound invalid were the most fascinating. Similarly keen is her critical examination of class and gender in early mesmeric experiments, staged events that typically used destitute women as guinea pigs. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0226902234?v=glance   (1759 words)

Hooker, Isabella Beecher Born in Litchfield, Connecticut, on February 22, 1822, Isabella Beecher was a daughter of the Reverend Lyman Beecher and a half sister of Henry Ward Beecher, Catharine Beecher, and Harriet Beecher Stowe. She also followed Woodhull into Spiritualist circles and for a time was convinced that she would soon be chosen by spirit powers to lead a matriarchal government of the world. Hooker's interest in the law and the legal status of women was first aroused early in her marriage by her husband's reading to her from Blackstone (whose position was that in marriage, man and wife are one person before the law, and that the woman has no separate legal existence; see also coverture). search.eb.com /women/articles/Hooker_Isabella_Beecher.html   (482 words)

Cloudband : Magazine : DEEP BLUES It is like the Picasso of the "primitive" period or ancient cave painting; it is reminiscent of ceremonial art of West Africa, or the creations of Harriet Powers, the great African American quilt-maker of the 1890s; it brings to mind the Rabelasian narrative and incident of Breugel or Steen or Hogarth. Born on the Alabama cotton plantation of George Hartwell Traylor, Bill Traylor took the name of his owner and lived the first 82 years of his life as a labourer in a small rural community, struggling to squeeze the best living he could out of poor land. Yet unlike most African American folk art, Traylor's work is not bible-inspired and revelatory but rather the fruit of vivid recollection, every image infused with the hardy energy which sustained the daily round of long work and short leisure. www.cloudband.com /magazine/articles/rev_butterworth_deep_0999.html   (468 words)

thePeerage.com - Exhibit Balfour, Arthur James, first Earl of Balfour 1848-1930, philosopher and statesman, was born at Whittinghame (now Whittingehame), East Lothian, 25 July 1848, the eldest son and fourth child of James Maitland Balfour, of Whittinghame, by his wife, Lady Blanche Mary Harriet, second daughter of James Brownlow William Gascoyne-Cecil, second Marquess of Salisbury. Balfour and the foreign secretary, Lord Lansdowne [q.v.], appear, it is true, to have envisaged the diplomatic understanding with France rather as a method of settling old disputes than of providing new defences; and it was only after they had left office that military conversations between the Powers concerned were formally initiated. Balfour's importance to the prime minister and ready access to his presence modified the immediate effect of such a system, but its ultimate consequences were apparent at the Peace Conference, where Balfour's position contrasted unfavourably with that of Castlereagh at Vienna or Salisbury at Berlin. www.thepeerage.com /e226.htm   (9181 words)
