Beauty is one of the most important and intriguing ideas in eighteenth-century culture. The concept of beauty was central to debates about art, culture and taste, and was invoked, in various and contradictory ways, to determine acceptable behavior for women. Robert W. Jones traces changing concepts of beauty in the eighteenth century through a wide range of material, including philosophical texts by William Hogarth and Edmund Burke, novels by Charlotte Lennox and Sarah Scott, and representations of the celebrated beauty Elizabeth Gunning.

Gender and the Formation of Taste in Eighteenth-Century Britain: The Analysis of Beauty

British & Irish

Cambridge University Press

The successful performance of a particular kind of masculinity was critical to political life during the eighteenth century, when men who claimed membership of the public sphere were expected to be men of honour as well as property. By the 1770s, however, the transformative effects of commerce and the claims of politeness complicated older certainties. Robert Jones examines how the parliamentary Opposition and their literary allies responded to political pressures and the emergencies of a disastrous war by fashioning a new mode of politics based on a more flexible range of masculinities. Basing his study on close readings of Edmund Burke and Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the trials of General Burgoyne and Admiral Keppel, and the Whig appropriation of Thomas Chatterton, Jones explores how Opposition discourse risked the charge of effeminacy in order to fuse the languages of honour and sensibility.

Why this book and why now? We have lived through one of the most uncertain and challenging times of our lifetime. Has there been any year like the year 2020? What was once the year that was going to provide clarity for most of us, as business owners, entrepreneurs, and influencers, turned into a series of pivots, hard choices, and adaptations. With that said, for many of us, we were able to overcome these uncertainties, obstacles, and challenges and turn to new ways of getting business done. We found new ways to be seen, stay heard and remain viable in what is turning into a very new economy. From the way that we "do" business, to the technologies that we use, to the way that we provide services, everything has changed. Not all of us have found the road an easy one, and that is where this book comes in. This book was created to remind those entrepreneurs, business owners, and influencers who may have taken some missteps, who have worked just as hard, who have learned just as much, but have not been able to overcome some of the pain... that there is hope. This book is about being a part of a community, both local and global, not being apart from community. THIS IS a community that offers, support, hope, and inspiration for those entrepreneurs, business owners, and influencers who may have had a heavier burden of misfortune. Because at the end of the day, we all live, for one thing, the belief that we were created to serve others. The contributing authors in this book have the belief that entrepreneurs and business owners are the backbone of a healthy economy and it is our goal to support other entrepreneurs, business owners, and influencers during these uncertain times with the gift of heartfelt connection. And, with the knowledge that NO one is alone. So open up this book, from any page and start reading. Reflect and write, then be prepared to be touched by people just like you, who have their hearts, experience, and wisdom.

It has been three years since COVID-19 came into the lives of Entrepreneurs, Business Owners, Influencers, and quite frankly all people. With the first book, we decided to tackle the Art of Connection with an emphasis on networking. I chose this focus because I knew for certain that there would be a fundamental shift in the way that people would network. With the isolation, the uncertainty, the challenges, to the ways of doing business, we needed some helpful support. The first book accomplished this and so much more.When the second book came out, business professionals were not only looking for connections in-person, but they were also learning to do so virtually as well. Entrepreneurs, Business Owners, and Influencers were finding that new global connections could be made, providing a space that was not only transaction oriented, but inspirationally oriented. Thus, I decided to create a second book called 365 Days of Inspirational Quotes by Entrepreneurs, Business Owners, InfluencersNow we're going into year #3. Through the first two books, we've helped Entrepreneurs connect through networking, and create inspiration, and with the third book, we have Entrepreneur Authors sharing stories of connection of transformation. So, I invite you to open this book, be a part of an enduring legacy, and join a community that shares its thoughts, experiences, and transformation with you.
