Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In the tumultuous decades of rapid expansion and change between the American Founding and the Civil War, Americans confronted a cluster of overlapping crises whose common theme was the difficulty of finding authority in written texts. The issue arose from several disruptive developments: rising challenges to the traditional authority of the Bible in a society that was intensely Protestant; persistent worries over America's lack of a 'national literature' and an independent cultural identity; and the slavery crisis, which provoked tremendous struggles over clashing interpretations of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, even as these 'parascriptures' were rising to the status of a kind of quasi-sacred secular canon.At the same time but from the opposite direction, new mass media were creating a new, industrial-scale print culture that put a premium on very non-sacred, disposable text: mass-produced 'news,' dispensed immediately and in huge quantities but meant only for the day or hour. Perpetual Scriptures in Nineteenth-Century America identifies key features of the writings, careers and cultural politics of several prominent Americans as responses to this cluster of challenges. In their varied attempts to vindicate the sacred and to merge the timeless with the urgent present, Joseph Smith, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller, Theodore Parker, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Walt Whitman, Frederick Douglass, Martin Delany, Abraham Lincoln, and other religious and political leaders and men and women of letters helped define American literary culture as an ongoing quest for new 'bibles,' or what Emerson called a 'perpetual scripture.'.

Prague: Nákladem "?asu", 1899. Octavo (24.6 × 16.2 cm). Original staple-stitched printed wrappers; 16 pp. A very good copy; small chip to upper right corner of front wrapper. Scarce Czech edition of a pamphlet, later confiscated, through which Tomá? Garrigue Masaryk sought to intercede in the Hilsner Affair, which provoked the most scandalous demonstration of anti-semitic views in Bohemia in the nineteenth century. Leopold Hilsner (1876-1928) was a Jew from the small East Bohemian community of Polná, who was accussed and later convicted of murdering nineteen-year-old Ane?ka Hr?zová in 1899, and later a second girl. The prosecution's strategy involved blood libel, which led to great conflicts in the region and beyond. Because he failed to produce an alibi, Hilsner was convicted and sentenced to death. It was only because of future Czechoslovak president T. G. Masaryk intervened that the sentence was commuted. Masaryk's calm and objective analysis of the case was a reaction to what he saw as a "Czech and Austrian Dreyfussiade," caused by the "false and seditious" rhetoric of the local press. Masaryk's pamphlet was also published in German: "Die Nothwendigkeit der Revision des Polnaer Processes," in Vienna. It was confiscated and he lost his teaching position as Professor of Ethics at Prague University over the scandal. One of the leading opponents in the debate was the Czech Catholic priest and publicist Rudolf Vrba, who authored a brochure in the same year which asserts the ritual murder accusation against Hilsner. Hilsner's fate was the subject of a silent film in 1918 and of a recent motion picture (2016). In 2008 he was officially rehabilitated by the Austrian minister of justice.
