THE SYMBOL OF POPLAR IN TARAS SHEVCHENKO’S POETRY

We wczesnej twórczości poetyckiej Taras Szewczenko pozostaje pod silnym wpływem romantyzmu, sięga do źródeł ukraińskiego folkloru. Jednym z najbardziej charakterystycznych obrazów tejże poezji jest topola, symbolizująca młodą, piękną dziewczynę, pozostawioną przez ukochanego i ponoszącą z tego powodu śmierć (Катерина, 1838, Утоплена 1841). Wątek przemiany rozpaczającej dziewczyny w topolę obecny jest, m.in. w takich utworach poety, jak Тополя, 1840, Не тополю високу, 1848, Коло гаю, в чистім полі, 1848. W twórczości Szewczenki pojawia się również motyw samotnie rosnącej topoli, a także tzw. „topoli na widnokręgu”, stanowiących nieodłączny element krajobrazu ukraińskich stepów i wiejskich dróg, m.in. w poematach Сон (1844), Княжна (1847).In his early poetic output Taras Shevchenko remains under strong influence of romanticism, drawing inspiration from Ukrainian folklore. One of the most distinctive images of his poetry is a poplar symbolizing a young, beautiful girl who dies because of heartbreak, dumped by her beloved one (Катерина, 1838, Утоплена 1841). The theme of transformation of a desperate girl into a poplar is present, i.a., in such poems as Тополя, 1840, Не тополю високую, 1848, Коло гаю, в чистім полі, 1848. In Shevchenko’s works there is also the motif of a lone poplar, as well as the so-called „poplar on the horizon” being an integral element of Ukrainian steppes and countryside roads, i.a. in such narrative poems as Сон (1844), Княжна (1847).In his early poetic output Taras Shevchenko remains under strong influence of romanticism, drawing inspiration from Ukrainian folklore.

The Historical Background of the Communist Manifesto

[Excerpt] The Manifesto of the Communist Party, published 150 years ago in London in February 1848, is one of the most influential and widely-read documents of the past two centuries. The historian A. J. P. Taylor (1967, p. 7) has called it a holy book, and contends that because of it, everyone thinks differently about politics and society. And yet, despite its enormous influence in the 20th century, the Manifesto is very much a period piece, a document of what was called the hungry 1840s. It is hard to imagine it being written in any other decade of the 19th century. The critique of capitalism offered by Marx and Engels in the Manifesto is understandable in the context of economic conditions in Britain from 1837 to 1848, and it is not that different, in places, from the conclusions reached by other social critics during the 1840s. This paper attempts to place the Manifestos analysis of capitalist economic development in historical perspective. I begin by summarizing the economic arguments of Marx and Engels. While the Manifesto-was written by Marx, its economic analysis was strongly influenced by Engels\u27s practical experience of capitalism in his family\u27s cotton firm in Manchester, England, in 1842-44. Upon his return to Germany, Engels published in 1845 a scathing indictment of early industrial capitalism, The Condition of the Working Class in England. Much of Engels\u27s critique of British capitalism reappears in greatly condensed form in Section I of the Manifesto. The second part of the paper examines the economic, social, and political conditions in Manchester and the surrounding south Lancashire cotton towns in the 1830s and 1840s, drawing largely on the views of contemporary observers. I then look at recent research on the standard of living of the working class from 1820 to 1851, focusing on conditions in the Lancashire cotton industry during the hungry \u2740s. Finally, I examine economic conditions in England in the two or three decades after the Manifesto was published, and briefly discuss why Marx and Engels\u27s predictions for the imminent collapse of capitalism were so wide of the mark

The naval career of Sir Thomas Spencer Wells in the Mediterranean : 1842-1853

The British naval connection to the Maltese Islands saw the arrival during the nineteenth century of a number of British medical practitioners. Some of these were noteworthy either because of their contribution to local medical and social history, or because of their contribution to the navy and to medicine. One important medical practitioner of note, who during his short stay on the Islands contributed towards improving medical practice in Malta, was Thomas Spencer Wells who served for six years in the Naval Hospital in Malta from 1841 to 1847, subsequently being transferred to the HMS Hibernia and Modeste until his release from the Navy in 1854. Spencer Wells later became one of the leading nineteenth century pioneers in abdominal surgery and a renowned leader of the British Surgical establishment.peer-reviewe

Pickering's Journey to Fort Colville in 1841

"Among the members of the party which crossed the Cascades to Fort Colville, under the command of Lieutenant Johnson, of the famous Wilkes Exploring Expedition of 1841, was Dr. Charles Pickering… In 1848 he published The Races of Man and Their Geographical Distribution. In this... he gives an interesting account of the journey to Fort Colville... This is contributed in the hope that it may be of value to students of Washington history.

The Universal Alliance of All Peoples : Romantic Socialists, the Human Family, and the Defense of Empire during the July Monarchy, 1830-1848

This article documents the procolonial rhetoric among romantic socialists in France during the July Monarchy (1830-48), demonstrating its pervasiveness. It argues that these years must be highlighted as key to the transition from eighteenth-century universalist ideas of humanity toward taxonomies of national, racial, and sexual difference that underpinned the rationale of empire in the second half of the nineteenth century. It explores the views on colonialism espoused by socialists such as Etienne Cabet, Pierre Leroux, Constantin Pecqueur, and Jean Reynaud; situates them in the broad socialist consensus on empire; and demonstrates the relationship between these men\u27s socialism and their colonialism. Further, it contextualizes their advocacy for colonialism in relation to contemporary debates about the abolition of slavery and free trade. Finally, it demonstrates the coexistence of universalist and particularist language in romantic socialist discourse on colonial expansion and its importance to the developing logic of the mission civilisatrice

The Two Henry Redhead Yorkes, radical to liberal: BAME presence in British Politics, 1790-1850

It shows how they were both committed to politics, but followed different trajectories, the former in extra-parliamentary politics and the latter as MP for York, 1841-1848

The potato murrain on the European continent and the revolutions of 1848

The tale of the Irish Famine, 1845¿1849, following the outbreak of potato late blight, has been told repeatedly, but the parallel story of the Continental Famine, 1845¿1847, has not yet been recorded. The Continental Famine was caused by poor harvests of potatoes, due to the same late blight, but also of grain, due to frost, drought, rust, voles, inopportune rains, floods and hailstorms. The Continental Famine was enhanced by hoarding, speculation, and poor governance. Hunger was followed by infectious diseases. The demographic effects of hunger and diseases are difficult to disentangle. The number of excess deaths due to the Continental Famine cannot yet be determined with any precision, but clearly it approaches that of the Irish Famine. The harvest failures of 1845 and 1846 and the resulting famines came on top of rural pauperisation and urban discontent, and thus contributed to the revolutions of 1848 on the European Continent. The statement `an epidemic of potato late blight caused an epidemic of revolutions¿ is, perhaps, exaggerated but it contains a grain of truth
