Fair Copies: Reproducing the English Lyric From Tottel to Shakespeare
Author: Matthew Zarnowiecki
File Type: pdf
In the latter half of the sixteenth century, English poets and printers experimented widely with a new literary format, the printed collection of lyric poetry. They not only investigated the possibilities of working with a new medium, but also wrote metaphors of human reproduction directly into their works. In Fair Copies, Matthew Zarnowiecki argues that poetic production was re-envisioned during this period, which was rife with models of copying and imitation, to include reproduction as one of its inherent attributes. Tracing the development of the English lyric during this crucial period, Fair Copies incorporates a diverse range of cultural productions and reproductions from key poetic texts by Shakespeare, Sidney, Spenser, Gascoigne, and Tottel to legal breviaries, visual representations of song, midwives manuals, and commonplace books. Also included are fifteen facsimile reproductions of poems in early printed books, with explanations and discussions of their importance. Calling upon these diverse sources, and examining lyric poems in their earliest manuscript and printed contexts, Zarnowiecki develops a new, reproductively centred method of reading early modern English lyric poetry. **

DEATH
61451
Author: Carolyn Dever
File Type: pdf
Victorian culture is famous for its idealization of mothers and families, yet the popular novels of this period frequently feature mothers who are dead or otherwise absent. Through an analysis of the work of Dickens, Collins, Eliot, Darwin and Woolf, Carolyn Dever discusses this apparent paradox. She shows how the idealized dead mother is fundamental to the Victorians idea of origins, and later becomes the central figure of Freudian psychoanalysis. Dever demonstrates that Victorian literature and psychoanalysis have much to teach us about each other.ReviewThis volume will suit those who enjoy post-Freudian analysis of literature.... ChoiceCarolyn Devers book is well-researched and excellent study about the actual medical and idealized literary versions of mothers dying in childbirth in Victorian England. Monika Elbert, Journal of the Association for Research in Mothering...[an] often brilliantly illuminating, always compelling discussion of the significance of maternal death in Victorian narrative. Devers close, theoreticallu sophisticated, often delightfully witty readings display both her originality and her synthetic skill. Her analysis of the analysts is a tour de force (she is a superb reader of Klein in perticular), and her discussion of Victorian narrative as an elaborate fort-da game - where the mothers absence is controlled and displaced by its representation - is splendid. Eileen Gilloly, Victorian StudiesCarolyn Devers Death and the Mother from Dickens to Freud Victorian Fiction and the Anxiety of Origins is a shrewd and elegant account of the meaning of maternal loss in psychoanalysis...and in Bleak House, The Woman in White, Daniel Deronda, Charles Darwins Autobiography, and To the Lighthouse. Dever understands Freudian psychoanalytic theory and the Victorian novel to dwell within a common horizon of cultural assumptions, which is why she is able so persuasively to read Freuds case studies as exemplifying mid-Victorian fictional tropes. Linda Dowling, Studies in English Literature...a shrewd and elegant account of the meaning of maternal loss in psychoanalysis...

Author: Steven Johnson
File Type: epub
From Publishers WeeklyJohnson--writer, Web guru, and bestselling author of Everything Bad Is Good for You--delivers a sweeping look at innovation spanning nearly the whole of human history. What sparks our great ideas? Johnson breaks down the cultural, biological, and environmental fuel into seven broad patterns, each packed with diverse, at times almost disjointed anecdotes that Johnson synthesizes into a recipe for success. A section on slow hunches captivates, taking readers from the FBIs work on 911 to Googles development of Google News. A section on error takes us through a litany of accidental innovations, including the one that eventually led to the invention of the computer. Being right keeps you in place, Johnson reminds us. eing wrong forces us to explore. Its eye-opening stuff--although it does require an investment from the reader. But as fans of the authors previous work know, an investment in Johnson pays off, and those who stick with the author as he meanders through an occasional intellectual digression will come away enlightened and entertained, and with something perhaps even more useful--how to recognize the conditions that could spark their own creativity and innovation. Another mind-opening work from the author of Mind Wide Open. (Oct.) (c) PWxyz, LLC. FromThe figure of the lone genius may captivate us, but we intuit that such geniuses creations dont materialize in a vacuum. Johnson supported the intuition in his biography of eighteenth-century scientist Joseph Priestly (The Invention of Air, 2009) and here explores it from different angles using sets of anecdotes from science and art that underscore some social or informational interaction by an inventor or artist. Assuring readers that he is not engaged in intellectual tourism, Johnson recurs to the real-world effects of individuals and organizations operating in a fertile information environment. Citing the development of the Internet and its profusion of applications such as Twitter, the author ascribes its success to exaptation and stacked platforms. By which he means that curious people used extant stuff or ideas to produce a new bricolage and did so because of their immersion in open networks. With his own lively application of stories about Darwins theory of atolls, the failure to thwart 911, and musician Miles Davis, Johnson connects with readers promoting hunches and serendipity in themselves and their organizations. --Gilbert Taylor

By interweaving narrative and documents, the authors of this book present a picture of the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA), one of the most controversial organizations in American public life. Heated debates about whether the Communist Party harboured spies or engaged in espionage have surrounded the party from its inception. This book provides proof that the CPUSA was involved in various subversive activities. At the same time, it discloses details about the workings of the party and about the ordinary Americans and CPUSA leaders who participated in its clandestine activities. The documents presented range from letters by Americans wishing to do international covert work for the Soviet Union, to top secret memos between the head of Soviet foreign intelligence, the Comintern and the CPUSA. They confirm that the Soviet Union heavily subsidised the CPUSA and that some prominent Americans laundered money for the Comintern the CPUSA maintained a covert espionage apparatus in the United States with direct ties to Soviet intelligence the testimony of former Communists concerning underground Communist activity in the United States can be substantiated American Communists working in government agencies stole documents and passed them to the CPUSA, which sent them on to Moscow and the CPUSA played a role in atomic espionage. A narrative places the documents in their historical context and explains key figures, organizations and events. Together the narrative and documents provide a picture of American communism and convey the contradictory passions that drew so many Americans into the Communist movement and eventually tore that movement apart. **

HOPE
78907
Author: Prof. Kim Oosterlinck
File Type: pdf
In 1918, the Soviet revolutionary government repudiated the Tsarist regimes sovereign debt, triggering one of the biggest sovereign defaults ever. Yet the price of Russian bonds remained high for years. Combing French archival records, Kim Oosterlinck shows that, far from irrational, investors had legitimate reasons to hope for repayment. Soviet debt recognition, a change in government, a bailout by the French government, or French banks, or a seceding country would have guaranteed at least a partial reimbursement. As Greece and other European countries raise the possibility of sovereign default, Oosterlincks superbly researched study is more urgent than ever. **

FOOD

Author: John Wilkins
File Type: pdf
In Food in the Ancient World, a respected classicist and a practising world-class chef explore a millennium of eating and drinking. The book focuses on ancient Greece and Rome, but also looks at Persian, Egyptian, Celtic and other cultures. It embraces people from all walks of life, from impoverished citizens subsisting on cereals, chickpeas and even locusts, to the meat-eating elites whose demands drove advances in gastronomy. The authors reveal how food - used to uphold the social system and linked by philosophers to moral character - played a pivotal role in the ancient world. They describe religious sacrifices, ancient dinner parties and drinking bouts, as well as exotic foods and recipes. Extending from Syria to Spain, and from the steppes of Russia to the deserts of North Africa, this evocative account gives readers a taste of the ancient world.

Author: Todd May
File Type: pdf
Equality is not something that we must expect from state institutions. It is something that we must both presuppose and create through collective action. Todd May investigates in depth the philosophical grounds, ethical implications and practical consequences of the view of active equality. Much more than a commentary, his book is a powerful analysis of what politics means and how we can recover the project of political action.Jacques RanciereThis is the first single-authored book in any language devoted entirely to the thought of Jacques Ranciere. It focuses on his central political idea that a democratic politics emerges from the presupposition of equality. Todd May examines and extends this presupposition, offering a framework for understanding it, placing it in the current political context, and showing how it challenges traditional political philosophy and opens up neglected political paths.May aims to show that Rancieres view offers both hope and perspective for those who seek to think about and engage in progressive political action.Key Features* offers a thorough discussion of Rancieres concept of equality* provides an ethical framework in which to ground his politics* shows why Ranciere is crucial for political reflection today* both translated and untranslated works are referred to
