Extrait : Anna Kingsford (née Annie Bonus, le 16 septembre 1846 à Maryland Point, dans le quartier de Stratford, à Londres, et décédée le 22 février 1888 à Londres), fut une militante féministe, écrivain, médecin, théosophe, spiritualiste, hermétiste anglaise. Elle s'engagea également pour le végétarisme et contre la vivisection. Elle fut une des premières Anglaises à obtenir un doctorat en médecine. Issue d'une riche famille londonienne, elle reçut une éducation classique, principalement à domicile. Au décès de son père, elle hérita d'une rente considérable dont elle devait conserver la complète jouissance, même une fois mariée, contrairement aux dispositions légales de l'époque. Désirant cependant travailler, elle se heurta aux préjugés de la société de son époque qui lui en refusaient la possibilité. En 1867, elle épousa un de ses cousins qui lui avait promis de lui laisser une entière liberté dans le mariage. L'année suivante, elle s'engagea pour le droit de propriété des femmes ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Alfred Russel Wallace, OM, FRS (8 January 1823 7 November 1913) was a British naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist and biologist. He is best known for independently proposing a theory of evolution due to natural selection that prompted Charles Darwin to publish his own theory. Wallace did extensive fieldwork, first in the Amazon River basin and then in the Malay Archipelago, where he identified the Wallace Line that divides Indonesia into two distinct parts, one in which animals closely related to those of Australia are common, and one in which the species are largely of Asian origin. He was considered the 19th century's leading expert on the geographical distribution of animal species and is sometimes called the "father of biogeography". Wallace was one of the leading evolutionary thinkers of the 19th century and made a number of other contributions to the development of evolutionary theory besides being co-discoverer of natural selection. These included the concept of warning colouration in animals, and the Wallace effect, a hypothesis on how natural selection could contribute to speciation by encouraging the development of barriers against hybridization. Wallace was strongly attracted to unconventional ideas. His advocacy of Spiritualism and his belief in a non-material origin for the higher mental faculties of humans strained his relationship with the scientific establishment, especially with other early proponents of evolution. In addition to his scientific work...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1494 ... Read more

About the same time, he composed his " Ode to Caleb Hardinge, M. D." a a talented and eccentric character, of whom, in connection with our poet, some anecdotes will be afterwards related. Mr. Dyson, we have already seen, had succeeded this gentleman's brother, Mr. Hardinge, as Clerk to the House of Commons ; and Akenside had consequently become acquainted with various members of the Hardinge family. The Ode "To Sir Francis Henry Drake " 8 was produced, I apprehend, at nearly the same period. In 1749 he wrote " The Remonstrance of Shakespeare, supposed to have been spoken at the Theatre Royal, while the French comedians were acting by subscription ;" a piece only remarkable for its illi- berality.Akenside was about the age of twenty-seven, when, rendered easy in his circumstances by the annual gratuity of Mr. Dyson, he finally took up his abode in the metropolis. Thenceforth his exertions to advance himself in his profession appear to have been unremitting. Though he occasionally amused his leisure by composing poetry, he gave little of it to the press; and published, from time to time, various medical essays. His reputation and practice continued to increase till his death; but it is certain that he never attained the highest rank in his profession, and that his services were never in much request.1 " A physician in a great city," observes Johnson, " seems to be the mere plaything of fortune; his degree of reputation is, for the... ...

From the supplier: Mark Akenside's poem 'The Pleasures of Imagination' (1744) represents a response to the aesthetics based on the empirical phenomenology of John Locke. Akenside highlights the tensions between mimetic and semiotic theories of art and finally suggests that the semiotic transcends the mimetic. The poem indicates that the pleasures of art are not solely due to the imitation of nature, but that art has a creative potential to go beyond the natural world and thus more adequately signify the divine.
