  • - Portrait of a Literary Woman
    av William McCarthy
    877

    Much has been written about Thrale, friend and hostess of Samuel Johnson, but this is the first study to focus on Piozzi as the writer. In his narrative of her life, McCarthy draws on a large body of published and unpublished sources to map Piozzi's literary development, define her literary identity, and evaluate her achievement. Originally published in 1985.

  • - A Cantata for the Souls of Purgatory
    av Eleanor McCrickard
    717

  • - A Contemporary Political Survey
    av John D. Martz
    1 051

    Among Latin-American nations, Colombia offers a unique opportunity for a study in comparative governmental methods and institutions. In 1958 Colombia initiated an extraordinary political experiment in controlled democracy: the two traditional parties agreed on absolute parity of representation from national to local level. This is a study of that experiment. Originally published in 1962.

  • - Paraguay's Febrerista Party
    av Paul H. Lewis
    877

    The Febrerista party of Paraguay, which is examined here, is particularly interesting because it has operated in exile for twenty-seven of the thirty years of its existence. This is an informative study concerning a long-neglected type of political party and should invite comparative analyses from other countries. Originally published in 1968.

  • - Dryden's Comedy in Theory and Practice
    av Frank Harper Moore
    877

    Traces John Dryden's theory of comedy through two main stages of development, 1663-75 and 1675-1700. In the first stage, Dryden conceives of ideal comedy as a heightened mixture of Jonsonian humour and Fletcherian love and wit. In the second stage, naturalness and satire become the key principles, and Shakespeare becomes his primary model. Originally published in 1963.

  • - Classroom Culture and Society in a Rural Elementary School
    av Norris Brock Johnson
    877

  • - A Bibliographical Guide
    av John Lachs
    717

    Designed to guide the student or scholar through the maze of books and articles on the philosophy of Marx and Marxism-Leninism, this bibliography should be an essential aid, not only to students of Marxism and to professional philosophers, but also to scholars in every field in which Marxist thought has had an impact. Originally published 1967.

  • - The Heroic Tragedies of Chapman and Shakespeare
    av Richard S. Ide
    877

    Argues that some of Chapman's and Shakespeare's best Jacobean plays are related by genre, tragic hero, and the type of tragic conflict. Although the two playwrights clearly share a fascination for the soldier hero and an acute awareness of his social incompetence and deviance, the dramas reveal sharply divergent attitudes toward his heroic idealism. Originally published in 1980.

  • av Josephus Daniels
    1 401

  • av Josephus Daniels
    1 401

    In this book Daniels's main interest is Mexico - its people, its national life, its arts, its amusements, its problems, its relations with the United States. The book is based on his experiences as ambassador to Mexico, from the beginning of the New Deal in the United States and the Six-Year Plan in Mexico to the early years of World War II. Originally published 1947.

  • av Everard Guilpin

  • - The Politics of Nostalgia in Umbertian Italy, 1878-1900
    av Richard Drake
    877

    Drake's study of politics and culture in Umbertian Italy focuses on the political thought and activity of a highly intellectual group of reactionary intellectuals whose politics were a nostalgic appeal to the Mazzinian vision of the Third Rome. By 1900 a fresh ideological alternative had developed for the right-wing intellectuals - nationalism. Originally published 1980.

  • av Josephus Daniels
    1 401

  • - Studies in Contemporary Fiction
    av Margaret Church
    877

    The discussions of Church in this discerning study indicate precisely how an author's concept of time influences the value and meaning of his or her novels, how keen awareness of the interplay of theory and technique is revealed, and how new resources of the novelist's art have grown out of the anatomy of time. Originally published in 1963.

  • - Albert Venn Dicey, Victorian Jurist
    av Richard A. Cosgrove
    877

    So commonplace has the term rule of law become that few recognize its source as Dicey's Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution. Cosgrove examines the life and career of Dicey, the most influential constitutional authority of late Victorian and Edwardian Britain, showing how his critical and intellectual powers were accompanied by a simplicity of character and wit.

  • av Mark Lincoln Chadwin
    877

    Shows how pressure groups in the US work and explains the vital nature of such pressure groups in time of global war. It explains why these particular warhawks risked public condemnation and personal attack to agitate to intervention and tells how they eventually occupied high government positions involving foreign policy decisions that influenced the lives of millions. Originally published 1968.

  • av E. Merton Coulter
    1 051

  • av Gary Lawson Browne
    1 051

    Eighteenth-century Baltimore was a traditional society - aristocratic, personal, and private. New social groups appeared with new ideas, values, institutions, and social controls, and the community adapted in various ways. The industrial revolution standardized social processes and made them a matter of public concern, providing the basis for the new, nineteenth-century public society.

  • - Knickerbocker Writers and American Artists, 1807-1855
    av James T. Callow
    877

    Callow explores the almost legendary association of Bryant with Cole, and he recalls such author-artist pairs as Willis and Harding, Paulding and Jarvis, Cooper and Morse, and Verplanck and Frazee. Also, the role of the Knickerbockers in the development of American architecture and painting is treated at length. Originally published in 1967.

  • - The Story of North Carolina's First Effort to Establish an East and West Trunk Line Railroad
    av Cecil Kenneth Brown
    877

    The story of North Carolina's railroad development is the story of a long and unsuccessful struggle to secure a trunk line east and west. Today the main railroads run north and south, following the fundamental geographical lay of the land, the original dream defeated by geography, sectional differences, politics, and the paralyzing effects of war.

  • - Actors' Criticisms of Four Major Tragedies
    av Carol Jones Carlisle
    1 051

    Brings together the most interesting criticisms of Shakespeare by English-speaking actors. The introductory chapter suggests the actors' typical contributions to Shakespeare criticism. Each of the four main chapters deals with one of the major tragedies, presenting the actors' ideas about the play itself, and the concluding chapter evaluates the actors' criticisms. Originally published in 1969.

  • av Robert Boyle
    861

    What distinguishes Boyle's book from similar studies is his sensitive judgment as critic and his deep and refined spirituality as a man of God. His approach is uncomplicated. After discussing the nature of metaphor, he reaches a provisional definition that includes rhythm. This rhythm, he believes, has unique metaphorical significance in Hopkins's poetry. Originally published in 1961.

  • av Henry M. Wagstaff
    717

    A gifted teller of tales sketches a lively picture of his boyhood in the old tobacco section of Person County, North Carolina, just south of the Virginia line.

  • - Image and Idol
    av John M. Steadman
    877

    Explores the intellectual background of Paradise Lost, with particular emphasis on problems of characterization. Character is fate, but it is also moral choice; and the nature of that choice plays a determining role in Milton's epic action. To analyse the principal actors in his epic, one must see them in their proper context.
