Opis:: The aim of the present article is to show that Richard Payne Knight promotes the same style in aesthetics that was first described by William Gilpin in his theory of the picturesque, but that Knight also transforms the Gilpinian conception as he sets it in the context of the contemporary scientific thought. Gilpin enuerated characteristic features of the picturesque style, among which he mentions richness of colour and variegated chiaroscuro modeling. Variety of hues was also postulated by Knight. Knight referred to the Newtonian atomistic theory of colours and Newton’s molecular physiology of visual perception to account for man’s preference of the aforesaid assemblages of colours.

Tytuł:: Mauritius - the Paradise Island?
Autorzy:: Oracz, Marta
Powiązania:: https://bibliotekanauki.pl/articles/701254.pdf
Data publikacji:: 2015
Wydawca:: Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Śląskiego
Opis:: The article interprets the novel There is a Tide by Lindsey Collen against the background of her article “Another Side of Paradise” and in the perspective of the political history of Mauritius. Both in the article and in the novel the central image is that of Mauritius as a paradise island, There is a Tide evoking the edenic imagery of Bernardin de Saint‑Pierres’s novel Paul and Virginia. In Saint‑Pierre’s utopian society there are neither ethnic nor class antagonisms. The idea of Mauritius as a Paradise island, where neither class nor ethnic struggles disrupt the ideal harmony, is questioned by Lindsey Collen. Mauritius, as it is presented to the reader of There is a Tide, turns out to be a place where people are divided along ethnic lines and along class lines, both divisions making the image of the island state in Collen’s novel contradict the view of Mauritius presented in de Saint‑Pierre’s Paul and Virginia. Key words: Mauritius, paradise island, ethnicity, class, antagonisms
