Title : Autobiography of Mark Twain Volume 3 Series: Mark Twain Papers (Book 12) Hardcover: 792 pages Publisher: University of California Press; annotated edition edition (October 15, 2015) Language: English ISBN-10: 0520279948 ISBN-13: 978-0520279940 Description : The surprising final chapter of a great American life. When the first volume of Mark Twain’s uncensored Autobiography was published in 2010, it was hailed as an essential addition to the shelf of his works and a crucial document for our understanding of the great humorist’s life and times. This third and final volume crowns and completes his life’s work. Like its companion volumes, it chronicles Twain's inner and outer life through a series of daily dictations that go wherever his fancy leads.

Their hermeneutic worldviews and writings deal with the nature and formation of modern Judaism, the Wissenschaft des Judentums, historicism, the image of the Jewish past and tradition, secularization, and God's status in present-day Jewish reality. In this volume, these issues are explored against the background of the tense discourse between the perception of modern Jewish reality as a break from the past and tradition an...

Title : Amy Levy Critical Essays Hardcover: 288 pages Publisher: Ohio University Press; 1 edition (15 Mar. 2010) Language: English ISBN-10: 0821419056 ISBN-13: 978-0821419052 Description :    Amy Levy has risen to prominence in recent years as one of the most innovative and perplexing writers of her generation. Embraced by feminist scholars for her radical experimentation with queer poetic voice and her witty journalistic pieces on female independence, she remains controversial for her representations of London Jewry that draw unmistakably on contemporary antisemitic discourse. Amy Levy: Critical Essays brings together scholars working in the fields of Victorian cultural history, women's poetry and fiction, and the history of Anglo-Jewry. The essays trace the social, intellectual, and political contexts of Levy's writing and its contemporary reception. Working from close analyses of Levy's texts, the collection aims to rethink her engagement with Jewis...

Title : American Gothic Art and Architecture in the Age of Romantic Literature Series: Gothic Literary Studies Hardcover: 256 pages Publisher: University of Wales Press (February 15, 2015) Language: English ISBN-10: 1783161604 ISBN-13: 978-1783161607 Description :  2015 winner of the Henry-Russell Hitchcock Award from the Victorian Society of America This volume analyzes the effects of British gothic novels and historical romances on American art and architecture in the romantic era. Through the work and writings of such figures as Washington Irving, James Fenimore Cooper, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Thomas Jefferson, and many more, Kerry Dean Carso reveals a surprisingly extensive symbiotic relationship between the arts in America and gothic literature in Britain—while also offering new insight into a relatively understudied era in American architecture.

American Enlightenments Pursuing Happiness in the Age of Reason

Image
Title : American Enlightenments Pursuing Happiness in the Age of Reason Series: The Lewis Walpole Series in Eighteenth-Century Culture and History Hardcover: 368 pages Publisher: Yale University Press (October 25, 2016) Language: English ISBN-10: 0300192576 ISBN-13: 978-0300192575 Description :  The accepted myth of the “American Enlightenment” suggests that the rejection of monarchy and establishment of a new republic in the United States in the eighteenth century was the realization of utopian philosophies born in the intellectual salons of Europe and radiating outward to the New World. In this revelatory work, Stanford historian Caroline Winterer argues that a national mythology of a unitary, patriotic era of enlightenment in America was created during the Cold War to act as a shield against the threat of totalitarianism, and that Americans followed many paths toward political, religious, scientific, and artistic enlightenment in the 1700s that were influenc...

All Her Facutlies The Representation of the Female Mind in the Twentieth-Century English Novel

Image
Title : All Her Facutlies The Representation of the Female Mind in the Twentieth-Century English Novel Hardcover: 219 pages Publisher: Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften; 1st New edition edition (February 13, 2014) Language: English ISBN-10: 3034317654 ISBN-13: 978-3034317658 Description :  All Her Faculties focuses on the perpetuation and reflection in literature of particular representations of the female mind that are entrenched in conservative notions of womanhood. The study highlights literature’s incontrovertible power to create myth - the myth of woman as body, not mind - through social practice as well as discourse. This is accentuated in the divergent yet related roles women as scholars play in a number of fictions that have entered, to a greater or lesser degree, the cultural consciousness of the twentieth century. What emerges is that the female scholar does not portray a ‘normal’ intellect but a transgressive one, based on ...

Alan M Turing Centenary Edition

Image
Title : Alan M Turing Centenary Edition Hardcover: 194 pages Publisher: Cambridge University Press; Centenary edition edition (22 Mar. 2012) Language: English ISBN-10: 1107020581  ISBN-13: 978-1107020580 Description :  In a short life he accomplished much, and to the roll of great names in the history of his particular studies added his own.' So is described one of the greatest figures of the twentieth century, yet Alan Turing's name was not widely recognised until his contribution to the breaking of the German Enigma code became public in the 1970s. The story of Turing's life fascinates and in the years since his suicide, Turing's reputation has only grown, as his contributions to logic, mathematics, computing, artificial intelligence and computational biology have become better appreciated. To commemorate the centenary of Turing's birth, this republication of his mother's biography is enriched by a new foreword by Martin Davis and a n...

Ain’t Got No Home: America's Great Migrations and the Making of an Interracial Left

Image
Title : Ain’t Got No Home: America's Great Migrations and the Making of an Interracial Left Paperback: 252 pages Publisher: The University of North Carolina Press; 1 edition (March 17, 2014) Language: English ISBN-10: 1469614022 ISBN-13: 978-1469614021 Description :  Most scholarship on the mass migrations of African Americans and southern whites during and after the Great Depression treats those migrations as separate phenomena, strictly divided along racial lines. In this engaging interdisciplinary work, Erin Royston Battat argues instead that we should understand these Depression-era migrations as interconnected responses to the capitalist collapse and political upheavals of the early twentieth century. During the 1930s and 1940s, Battat shows, writers and artists of both races created migration stories specifically to bolster the black-white Left alliance. Defying rigid critical categories, Battat considers a wide variety of media, including literary cl...

AFTER GENOCIDE How Ordinary Jews Face the Holocaust

Title : AFTER GENOCIDE How Ordinary Jews Face the Holocaust Paperback: 304 pages Publisher: Karnac Books (December 17, 2014) Language: English ISBN-10: 1782201920 ISBN-13: 978-1782201922 Description :  2015 will be the seventieth anniversary of the end of World War Two, and, for Jews, the seventieth anniversary of the end of the worst Jewish catastrophe in diaspora history. After Genocide considers how, more than two generations since the war, the events of the Holocaust continue to haunt Jewish people and the worldwide Jewish population, even where there was no immediate family connection. Drawing from interviews with “ordinary” Jews from across the age spectrum, After Genocide focusses on the complex psychological legacy of the Holocaust. Is it, as many think, a “collective trauma”? How is a community detached in space and time traumatized by an event which neither they nor their immediate ancestors experienced? “Ordinary” Jews’ own words bring to...

Africa's Past, Our Future Titel : Africa's Past, Our Future Paperback: 244 pages Publisher: Indiana University Press (July 6, 2015) Language: English ISBN-10: 025301655X ISBN-13: 978-0253016553 Description :   Africa's Past, Our Future engages the history of the African continent through the perspective of global issues such as political instability, economic development, and climate change. Since the past may offer alternative models for thinking about our collective future, this book promotes an appreciation for African social, economic, and political systems that have endured over the long-term and that offer different ways of thinking about a sustainable future. Introducing readers to the wide variety of sources from which African history is constructed, the book’s ten chapters cover human evolution, the domestication of plants and animals, climate change, social organization, the slave trade and colonization, development, and contemporary economics and po...

ÆTHELRED THE UNREADY

ÆTHELRED THE UNREADY LEVI ROACH Title : ÆTHELRED THE UNREADY  Hardcover: 400 pages Publisher: Yale University Press (2 Sept. 2016) Language: English ISBN-10: 0300196296 ISBN-13: 978-0300196290 Description :  An imaginative reassessment of Aethelred 'the Unready', one of medieval England's most maligned kings and a major Anglo-Saxon figure The Anglo-Saxon king Aethelred 'the Unready' (978-1016) has long been considered to be inscrutable, irrational, and poorly advised. Infamous for his domestic and international failures, Aethelred was unable to fend off successive Viking raids, leading to the notorious St. Brice's Day Massacre in 1002, during which Danes in England were slaughtered on his orders. Though Aethelred's posthumous standing is dominated by his unsuccessful military leadership, his seemingly blind trust in disloyal associates, and his harsh treatment of political opponents, Roach suggests that Aethelred has been wrongly mali...

A History of Money

A History of Money Title : A History of Money Paperback: 800 pages Publisher: University of Wales Press; New edition edition (July 15, 2016) Language: English ISBN-10: 1783163097 ISBN-13: 978-1783163090 Description :  A History of Money is exactly that—a look at how money, the indispensable unit of our economy, developed through time. Starting with the barter system, the authors describe how the basic function of exchanging goods evolved into a monetary system based on coins made of precious metals and how, from the 1500s onwards, financial systems were established and currency became intertwined with commerce and trade, finally settling by the mid-1800s into a stable system based on gold. Rather than approaching money as a theory, the authors show how usage developed pragmatically over time to suit the economic needs of society; and they make a surprising yet compelling argument for the inherent stability of the gold standard.
