‎Dance As Religious Studies‎

‎Book is in excellent condition with corners showing very, very slight shelfwear as the only flaw. Binding is solid and square, covers have sharp corners, exterior shows no blemishes, text/interior is clean and free of marking of any kind. [The book] studies choreographers, dancers, and scholars, joining hands in exploring the multiple connections between dnace and religion in comtemporary worship and ritual, in modern choreography based on religious subject matter, and in choreography that is not thematically religious. Paying particular attention to the history of dance in the judeo-Christian tradition, [the book] celebrates the modern rediscovery of the human body as central to ritual and to religious faith. Further, a series of essays employinging a feminist hermeneutic shows how the history of t dance mirrors the relatiohship between the social and religious roles of women.‎

‎Adelaide 1850. Very good condition. A remarkable letter from Adelaide signed "E. Marsh" a recent settler addressed to "Dear Sister" in which the author encourages her sister to emigrate saying "Bring your tools with you by all means." This remarkable letter is written by "Mrs. Marsh" who is herself recorded as a "plasterer" in the South Australian Almanac and Directory Murray 1847 as "Marsh Mrs. E. plasterer Grey st." She encourages her sister and fellow trades person by describing Adelaide's plan to lay city water pipes saying "I would have wrote before for I should like for you to come if you could do well. The Pluming sic trade has not been much here it is better now - I have no doubt but you would do very well here things is getting more like home. I think in about twelve months Pluming will be as good a trade as any other. Their sic is a water company proposed to carry the water all over the town in pipes it will not take place for twelve month at least wages is from 6 to 7 shillings per day." The commencement of colonial Government in South Australia was only declared in December 1836. By 1838 the second Governor Colonel George Gawler arrived in October 1838 "to a situation of almost no public finances underpaid officials and 4000 immigrants still living in makeshift accommodation." Wikipedia By 1843 South Australia was growing a huge amount of wheat. "From a low point in 1842 when 642 out of 1915 houses were abandoned and there was talk of abandoning the settlement Adelaide was a bustling city when Grey left to govern New Zealand in 1845. " Adelaide in fact did not complete its city water supply directed by Colonel Freeling the colonial engineer in charge of the project until about 1860! Residents rejoiced at the life changing improvement and drank from water fountains on the main streets while the city council made a demonstration of the fire hydrants by spraying an office building. The author also offers her sister advice on what to bring on the passage over and detailed news of family members father "poor old man I wish he was here with us" William Sarah "keeping a public house" and Brother John "arrived here in November 1848 they lost one child coming over by the name of Walter" and Sam "living with a spirit merchant".

‎Recueil de pièces en originale ; du procès en sorcellerie du père Girard accusé d'avoir ensorcelé, violé et fait avorter une jeune fille de Toulon, Catherine Cadière. Sur les instances des frères de Catherine Cadière, il fut accusé de séduction et de magie lors d'un long procès à Aix qui passionna les foules. Mais, soutenu par les Jésuites, d'accusé il devint accusateur et le parlement d'Aix qui voulait sa mort le renvoya aux juges ecclésiastiques, qui se hatèrent de l'absoudre.« Ce procès qui retint l'attention de toute l'Europe scandalisée, se termina par l'acquittement de Girard, accusé "d'enchantement, rapt, inceste spirituel, avortement et subornation de témoins". Voici ce que semblent avoir été les faits, ce qu'attestèrent de nombreux témoins, dans un procès fort confus et que le père compliqua à souhait, dans une défense toute jésuitique. A dix-huit ans, Catherine Cadière prend comme directeur de conscience le père Girard, qui un jour, se penche sur sa bouche et lui jette un souffle. Dès lors, elle se sent transportée d'amour pour lui, elle est possédée. Elle a des extases, des visions, des crises convulsives où elle crie et blasphème. Certaines sont si violentes qu'elle doit garder le lit, ce qui permet au père de s'enfermer avec sa pénitente dans sa chambre. il profite de la violence d'un "accident d'obsession" qui la met hors de l'usage de ses sens pour se livrer à tous les attraits de la volupté et pour commettre les "crimes les plus infâmes". Elle fut enceinte, il la fit avorter. Il la fit enfin enfermer dans un couvent où il continua de la rencontrer jusqu'au jour où elle raconta tout à un autre confesseur » (Dictionnaire des oeuvres érotiques, 418). - Caillet n°1887 - Yves-Plessis sorcellerie n°1408 à 1454.‎

‎AFRICAN AMERICANA SLAVERY & ABOLITION ABOLITION WOMEN AUTHORS TAYLOR Emily‎

‎Autograph Letter Signed to Eliza Lee Cabot Follen including Manuscript Poem "For the Liberty Bell." 4pp dated August 10th 1843‎

‎Liverpool: 1843. Ephemera. English poet and hymnist Emily Taylor 1795-1872 was the author of more than twenty books including the book-length anti-slavery poem The Vision of Las Casas 1825. Though best-known as an author of historical works for children she was also a prolific hymnist contributing more than a dozen works to various Unitarian hymnals in the first decades of the 19th century possibly providing her connection to Follen also a well-known hymnist. The present letter is addressed to the prominent abolitionist author Eliza Lee Follen of Boston and opens: "My dear Madam Our mutual friend Harriet Martineau assures me of a kind reception from you and accordingly I transcribe for you a few lines written immediately on reading your Liberty Bell for 1843. If you are to enroll my name among those which I hold so holy & dear as your contributors in the Abolition cause please to accept them." The substantial 67-line poem which follows begins with the prologue: "To a friend who asked the author's aid and prayers for the slave;" and continues: "Pity & prayers and pleading for the Slaves! / Them thou didst ask and soon as ask'd I gave." The poem goes on to extend the by-then familiar argument that the institution of slavery makes slaves not only of its subjects but of its perpetrators as well. Taylor concludes as a postscript on the final leaf: "Would you dear Mrs. Follen forward the enclosed to Mrs. Chapman Maria Weston Chapman editor of The Liberty Bell .I am sorry but do not know Mrs. C's address." The poem was in fact published without revisions as "To A Friend" in the 1844 edition of Chapman's important anti-slavery gift annual The Liberty Bell; other contributors to this edition included James Russell Lowell Lydia Maria Child Harriet Martineau Amasa Walker William Llloyd Garrison and others. The recipient of the letter Eliza Lee Cabot Follen was herself a prominent and prolific abolitionist author scion of the Cabots of Boston and part of the Boston social circle that included William Ellery Channing Henry Ware George Ticknor and other patrician intellectuals of the period. An excellent and representative letter and manuscript involving three key women figures in the abolitionist movement during a particularly heady period for the cause. Quarto sheet folded once to make 4pp. Signed in three places "Emily Taylor"; marked "Private;" and "for Mrs. Chapman." Mild cover soil; small loss at right margin from opening; slight fading to ink. Very Good. Includes brief introductory followed by an anti-slavery poem of 67 lines "For the Liberty Bell" submitted for publication in the American gift annual of that name. Numerous ink corrections to the text in the author's hand. unknown‎
