Not for the faint of ear: THE CHINK AND THE CHILD by Thomas Burke
A change of pace: a public domain author of yore, who was once celebrated in his time but now as much offends as he fascinates. You mean to say, some Brit writer flung down THIS gauntlet in 1916?!?
My first encounter with Thomas Burke was occasioned by two things. First, I love Mahlon Blaine's art (first discovered in his late-career work for the now defunct Canaveral Press; I still have E.R. Burroughs' "The Moon Men," my first Blaine embellished purchase). When I learned Blaine had illustrated the first American edition of Burke's "Limehouse Nights" I had to get it. Second, as a long-time "cinephile"--not just a movie lover--when I learned that D.W. Griffith's silent film "Broken Blossoms" was based on this story--well, that cinched my interest too.
And so to Burke's first story in tha...

The Great Debate: Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine, and the Birth of Right and Left
For more than two centuries, American political life has been divided between a party of progress and a party of conservation. In "The Great Debate", Yuval Levin explores the origins of the Left/Right divide by examining the views of the men who best represented each side of that debate at its outset: Edmund Burke and Thomas Paine. Levin shows that American partisanship originated in these two ideological titans' fiery debates over the French Revolution.

Mary Wollstonecraft vs. Edmund Burke (Women and the French Revolution: Part 4)
http://www.tomrichey.net
In this segment of my series on Women and the French Revolution, I discuss Mary Wollstonecraft's role as a VINDICATOR for women during the French Revolution. In 1790, Edmund Burke, a notable member of Parliament, published a scathing rebuke of the French Revolution, its aims, and its principles. At a time when it wasn't appropriate for a woman to engage in public debate, Mary Wollstonecraft responded to Burke with her Vindication of the Rights of Man. After finishing at this work, Wollstonecraft began writing A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, the work for which she is best known. Wollstonecraft's willingness to step into the arena and engage the public in debates about liberalism and feminism.
This is part of my Women and the French Revolution series:

A change of pace: a public domain author of yore, who was once celebrated in his time but now as much offends as he fascinates. You mean to say, some Brit writer flung down THIS gauntlet in 1916?!?
My first encounter with Thomas Burke was occasioned by two things. First, I love Mahlon Blaine's art (first discovered in his late-career work for the now defunct Canaveral Press; I still have E.R. Burroughs' "The Moon Men," my first Blaine embellished purchase). When I learned Blaine had illustrated the first American edition of Burke's "Limehouse Nights" I had to get it. Second, as a long-time "cinephile"--not just a movie lover--when I learned that D.W. Griffith's silent film "Broken Blossoms" was based on this story--well, that cinched my interest too.
And so to Burke's first story in that collection, "The Chink and the Child." The offence starts right in the title. No doubt Burke was a man anchored in the prejudices of his time, and he shows them in his language most obviously. But what fascinates the modern reader in one way or another--just scan the varied reviews of his book on Goodreads--is the author's impulse to subvert them by imagining that his stereotyped "Yellow Man" is something more than just an Other outsider. The most virulent take on Asians, or "Orientals," of his time had them as the Yellow Peril--which consumed Burke's literary contemporary, Sax Rohmer, in his Fu Manchu books. Burke's stories seem to have none of that , at least in the few I've read.
Still, Burke's natural inclination seems to be lurid and sensational in his stories centered on Chinese men and white women--or here, a young girl, no less--even as his frankness insists that somehow people are just people... at least If they're of certain classes and life predicaments.
D.W. Griffith's silent film "Broken Blossoms" improves on Burke's story with its changes and its medium. Griffith had his own prejudices (KKK, anyone?} as well as expected constraints of his time (a white actor must play a Chinese man, if you want tickets to be sold). Because the movie's reworked story is embodied by expressive actors as well as narrative details filling their backstories more--both lacking in Burke's simple story sketched in words--it reaches beyond either artist's prejudice-compromised intellectual sympathy in its artistic effect. In the end, though Burke is no artistic genius like Griffith, he's worth experiencing at least a little of, as a century-old cultural take on our common, conflicted human experiences made vivid and garish. Provided you can accept what seems unpleasant to today's ears in language and attitude about people.
The best work on Burke and his times is by scholar Anne Witchard. Find it here and here:
https://www.londonfictions.com/thomas-burke-limehouse-nights.html
http://www.literarylondon.org/london-journal/september2004/witchard.html#17
And be sure to watch "Broken Blossoms" for an experience you won't soon forget: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQXb89LXuJo&t=4396s. Actors Lillian Gish and Richard Barthelmess are beyond reproach in their affect.
As for my reading, I'm not completely happy with its declamatory style except in two respects: it gets the emotional tone of judgmental melodrama and unjudgmental sympathy I think are apt for the piece today, and it tries for faithfulness to the rhythms of Burke's prose, which I find pleasing. If you agree with either or both ends, have fun. Again with headphones or earbuds for best results from my voice.

In this segment of my series on Women and the French Revolution, I discuss Mary Wollstonecraft's role as a VINDICATOR for women during the French Revolution. In 1790, Edmund Burke, a notable member of Parliament, published a scathing rebuke of the French Revolution, its aims, and its principles. At a time when it wasn't appropriate for a woman to engage in public debate, Mary Wollstonecraft responded to Burke with her Vindication of the Rights of Man. After finishing at this work, Wollstonecraft began writing A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, the work for which she is best known. Wollstonecraft's willingness to step into the arena and engage the public in debates about liberalism and feminism.
