Author: Ayumi Mizukoshi File Type: pdf This book tackles the interpretative problem of pleasure in Keatss poetry by placing him in the context of the liberal, leisured, and luxurious culture of Hunts circle. Challenging the standard interpretation that attributes Keatss poetic development to his separation from Hunt, Mizukoshi argues that Keats, imbued with Hunts bourgeois ethic and aesthetic, remained a poet of sensuous pleasure through to the end of his short career.ReviewThis book generously and fearlessly places Keatss work back into the context of literature and in the haunts of pleasure.--James Najarian, European Romantic Review...presents an engaging analysis of Hunts aesthetic ideas and their influence upon Keats. --The Wordsworth CircleAbout the AuthorAyumi Mizukoshi is Lecturer at Teikyo Heisei University.

Author: Jon Ward File Type: epub From a strange, dark chapter in American political history comes the captivating story of Ted Kennedys 1980 campaign for president against the incumbent Jimmy Carter, told in full for the first time. The Carter presidency was on life support. The Democrats, desperate to keep power and yearning to resurrect former glory, turned to Kennedy. And so, 1980 became a civil war. It was the last time an American president received a serious reelection challenge from inside his own party, the last contested convention, and the last all-out floor fight, where political combatants fought in real time to decide who would be the nominee. It was the last gasp of an outdated system, an insiders game that old Kennedy hands thought they had mastered, and the year that marked the unraveling of the Democratic Party as America had known it. Camelots End details the incredible drama of Kennedys challenge -- what led to it, how it unfolded, and its lasting effects -- with cinematic sweep. It is a story about what happened to the Democratic Party when the countrys long string of successes, luck, and global dominance following World War II ran its course, and how, on a quest to recapture the magic of JFK, Democrats plunged themselves into an intra-party civil war. And, at its heart, Camelots End is the tale of two extraordinary and deeply flawed men Teddy Kennedy, one of the nations greatest lawmakers, a man of flaws and of great character and Jimmy Carter, a politically tenacious but frequently underestimated trailblazer. Comprehensive and nuanced, featuring new interviews with major party leaders and behind-the-scenes revelations from the time, Camelots End presents both Kennedy and Carter in a new light, and takes readers deep inside a dark chapter in American political history. **Review A masterful account of an all but forgotten episode in modern American politics. -- Michael Isikoff, #1 New York Times bestselling author About the Author Jon Ward has chronicled American politics and culture for two decades, as a city desk reporter in Washington D.C., as a White House correspondent who traveled aboard Air Force One to Africa, Europe and the Middle East, and as a national affairs correspondent who has traveled the country to write about two presidential campaigns and the ideas and people animating our times.

Author: Shaj Mohan File Type: pdf Gandhi and Philosophy presents a breakthrough in philosophy by foregrounding modern and scientific elements in Gandhis thought, animating the dazzling materialist concepts in his writings and opening philosophy to the new frontier of nihilism. This scintillating work breaks with the history of Gandhi scholarship, removing him from the postcolonial and Hindu-nationalist axis and disclosing him to be the enemy that the philosopher dreads and needs. Naming the congealing systematicity of Gandhis thoughts with the Kantian term hypophysics, Mohan and Dwivedi develop his ideas through a process of reason that awakens the possibilities of concepts beyond the territorial determination of philosophical traditions. The creation of the new method of criticalisation - the augmentation of critique - brings Gandhis system to its exterior and release. It shows the points of intersection and infiltration between Gandhian concepts and such issues as will, truth, violence, law, anarchy, value, politics and metaphysics and compels us to imagine Gandhis thought anew. **
