Haunted Dundee Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Haunted Dundee IN every large town there are spots that have been made memorable by some incidents, some important event which had an influence upon local or national history, the birthplace of a hero, the humble weaver's shop, perchance, which afterwards developed into a colossal weaving factory. Such places have always an attraction, for the human mind looks back upon small beginnings that have produced unexpected results. There are also streets and houses in every city and village that have become notorious as the scenes of appalling crimes that have thrilled the hearts of those who heard Of them long ago. All these places may be regarded as haunted by the memories of the past, whether they be pleasant or terrible.

Excerpt from More Haunted Houses of London The whole system of education in England is rotten to the core. In training the young the brain only is taken into consideration, the character is left to take care of itself. So long as the boy is clever, so longi as he succeeds at his lessons, passes a high standard, and takes scholarships and degrees, and is, in a word, in a position to make money, that is all that those responsible for his education require of him. N 0 one 1 teaches him kindness, or gentleness, or humanity, because these are qualities that, under our present system, do not encourage money-making, but tend rather to retard it. Besides, how can we possibly impart to others what we do not possess ourselves. If character - that is to say, really good character character that is thoroughly humane and charitable were suddenly made the basis upon which our Cabinet Ministers, our pedagogues, and preachers should hold office, how many of those holding such offices to-day could be re-elected? Very few, if any. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Ghost of Dunboy Castle, Vol. 2 of 2 Our indiscretion sometimes serves us well When our deep plots do fail; and that should teach us, There's a Divinity that Shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will. Hamlet. AS attentively and tenderly as any aged couple ever nursed their only boy, the child of their old age, so carefully did Tom and Nora attend to the every want of their unknown Visitor at Bogra Vale. The doctor, too, was most punctual and regular in paying his visits. A fortnight had elapsed since he had first seen his patient, yet, daily, with one solitary exception, about the same hour, the rumbling of the wheels Of his carriage on the avenue, was the precursor of his knock at the hall door.

How do we understand, imagine and remember childhood? In what ways do cultural representations and scientific discourses meet in their ways of portraying children? Childhood, Literature and Science aims to answer these questions by tracing how images of childhood(s) and children in Western modernity are entangled with notions of innocence and fragility, but also with sin and evilness. Indeed, this interdisciplinary collection investigates how different child figures emerge or disappear in imaginative and social representations, in the memories of adult selves, and in expert knowledge. Questions about childhood in Western modernity, culture and science are also addressed through insightful analysis of a variety of materials from the Enlightenment age to the present day – such as fiction, life narratives, visual images, scientific texts and public writings. Analysing childhood as a discursive construction, Childhood, Literature and Science will appeal to scholars as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in fields such as: Childhood Studies, History, Gender Studies, Cultural Studies, Literature and Sociology of the Family.
