Yale Review, 1918, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) by Wilbur L. Cross Pdf

Excerpt from Yale Review, 1918, Vol. 2 Cotton Bill, the Wool Bill, and the Farmers' Free List. President Taft accepted the challenge and vetoed the bills. Similar bills have been presented to him again this sum mer, on the eve of election and in the midst of an intense campaign, and Mr. Taft has again vetoed them. Certainly no one can deny that he has the courage of his convictions, or, as some one has expressed it, the courage of his vetoes.

The American Language by H. L. Mencken Pdf

The American Language is a multi-volume study of how the English language is spoken in the United States. The book is Menken's research of the differences between English and American language. Mencken wanted to defend "Americanisms" against a steady stream of English critics, who usually isolated Americanisms as borderline "perversions" of the "mother tongue". The book discusses the beginnings of "American" variations from "English", the spread of these variations, American names and slang. According to Mencken, American English was more colorful, vivid, and creative than its British counterpart. The book concludes with the observation in the norms of use of the proper names in America, including surnames, given names, geographical names, Menken's analysis on the American slang, and forecast on the further language development.

The Science Fiction Mythmakers by Jennifer Simkins Pdf

A literary genre that pervades 21st-century popular culture, science fiction creates mythologies that make statements about humanity's place in the universe and embody an intersection of science, religion and philosophy. This book considers the significance of this confluence through an examination of myths in the writings of H. G. Wells, Arthur C. Clarke, Philip K. Dick and Frank Herbert. Presenting fresh insights into their works, the author brings to light the tendency of science fiction narratives to reaffirm spiritual myths.

Thornton Wilder, Classical Reception, and American Literature by Stephen J. Rojcewicz, Jr. Pdf

This book delineates how Thornton Wilder (1897–1975), a learned playwright and novelist, embeds himself within the classical tradition, integrating Greek and Roman motifs with a wide range of sources to produce heart-breaking masterpieces such as Our Town and comedy sensations such as Dolly Levi. Through this study of archival sources and close reading, readers will understand Wilder’s avant-garde staging and innovative time sequences not as a break with the past, but as a response to the classics. The author traces the genesis of unforgettable characters like Dolly Levi in The Matchmaker, Emily Webb in Our Town, and George Antrobus in The Skin of Our Teeth. Vergil’s expression, "Here are the tears of the world, and human matters touch the heart" haunts Wilder’s oeuvre. Understanding Vergil’s phrase as "tears for the beauty of the world," Wilder utilizes scenes depicting the beauty of the world and the sorrow when individuals recognize this too late. Wilder exhorts us to observe lovingly, alert to the wonder of the everyday. This work will appeal to actors and directors, professors and students in classics and in American literature, those fascinated by modern drama and performance studies, and non-specialists, theatre-goers, and readers in the general public.

The Collected Works of Wyndham Lewis: Time and Western Man by Paul Edwards Pdf

The Collected Works of Wyndham Lewis brings together for the first time all of the published writings of Wyndham Lewis (1882-1957), a major contributor to literary modernism and one of the most important British painters of the first half of the twentieth century. This is the first comprehensive edition of Time and Western Man, with explanatory notes, previously unpublished drafts, a history of composition, and an account of its critical reception. Originally published in 1927, Time and Western Man is one of Lewis's most important books, and a pioneering work of cultural criticism. It contains scathing criticism of his fellow modernist writers, Ezra Pound, James Joyce, and Gertrude Stein. The second part of the book analyses and attacks the philosophy of 'Time', focusing especially on Henri Bergson, A. N. Whitehead, Samuel Alexander, and Oswald Spengler. Many of Lewis's most penetrating arguments are in the drafts that are printed in this edition for the first time.

Virginia Woolf and Her Female Contemporaries by Julie Vandivere,Megan Hicks Pdf

Virginia Woolf and Her Female Contemporaries, seeks to contextualize Virginia Woolf?s writing alongside the work of other women writers during the first decades of the twentieth-century. This volume not only expands our understanding of the unprecedented number of female writers but also helps us comprehend the ways that these writers contributed and complicated modernist literature. It explores how burgeoning communities and enclaves of women writers intersected with and coexisted alongside Virginia Woolf and emphasizes both the development of enclaves and specific female subcultures or individual writers who were contemporaneous with Virginia Woolf. The essays in the first section,?Who Are Virginia Woolf?s Female Contemporaries,? explore the boundaries of contemporaneity by considering women across nation, time, and class. The second section,?Cultural Contexts,? explores Woolf?s connections to early twentieth-century culture such as film and book societies. The two final sections,?Recovery and Recuperation,? and?Connections Between Canonical Writers,? illuminate the interlocking network of women writers and artists, the latter through women who have been bereft of scholarly attention and the former through women who have received more scholarly attention.

The Edwardian Ford Madox Ford by Laura Colombino,Max Saunders Pdf

The controversial British writer Ford Madox Ford (1873-1939) is increasingly recognized as a major presence in early twentieth-century literature. This series of International Ford Madox Ford Studies was founded to reflect the recent resurgence of interest in him. Each volume is based upon a particular theme or issue; and relates aspects of Ford’s work, life, and contacts, to broader concerns of his time. Ford is best-known for his fiction, especially The Good Soldier, long considered a modernist masterpiece; and Parade’s End, which Anthony Burgess described as ‘the finest novel about the First World War’, Samuel Hynes has called ‘the greatest war novel ever written by an Englishman’, and which has been adapted by Tom Stoppard for the acclaimed BBC/HBO television series. This volume focuses on Ford’s work from the Edwardian decade and a half before the First World War. It contains Michael Schmidt’s Ford Madox Ford Lecture, and fourteen other essays by British, American, French and German experts, both leading authorities and younger scholars. Chapters on Ford’s fiction, poetry, criticism of literature and painting, writing about England, and dealings on the Edwardian literary scene as editor and with publishers, bring out his versatility and ingenuity throughout his first major creative phase.
