From dust jacket: Although overshadowed by his better known brother Charles, Henry Kingsley has his own place in the history of Victorian literature. Born in 1830, he wrote seventeen novels, two collections of essays, and numerous short stories before he died in 1876. In addition, he prospected for gold in Australia, served with the Sidney Mounted Police, and covered the Franco-Prussian War as a correspondent for the Edinburgh Daily Review. Not only were his novels reviewed by the major Victorian journals and purchased by the powerful Mudie Lending Library, but he counted among his friends Swinburne, Lewis Carroll, Leslie Stephen, Thomas Huxley, Matthew Arnold, and George Meredith. Yet for all his literary productivity, his romantic adventures, and his nineteenth-century popularity, Henry Kingsley, for the most part, is little regarded today. In Australia, he is still honored for his two novels that utilized an Australian setting, but elsewhere only his novel Ravenshoe receives occasional attention. This perceptive study of Kingsley examines the complex reasons for his artistic decline and loss of popularity. By discussing chronologically the novelist in terms of his life, his works, and the relationship between them, the author of The Neglected Brother relates a story of a man who loved life and romantically longed for adventures but who was afflicted by insecurity which was partly brought on by his competition with a very successful older brother, by poverty, by a deteriorating artistic imagination, and finally, by a fatal cancer.

Soft cover. Condition: New. James L. Douthat. Soft cover, published 1993, 8.5 x 11, as new, Index, 181 pages. The publisher writes: A report from the War Department to the House of Representatives in the 20th Congress Numbered 140. During the War of 1812, a number of units from the various West (now Middle) Tennessee volunteers go to fight with General Andrew Jackson. However, there were many problems arising with these units over the length of their service. A number of units left the Battle Field and returned home earlier than the government allowed, thus a court martial was called for. This is the basis for this report even though it was given ten years after the fact. The first portion of the book relates the proceedings of the trial and the second half deals with the rosters of the various units. There are over 7000 entries in the index which is to full names and place names as well.

Although there is a subscription issue available for home delivery, most copies of Playbill are printed for particular productions and distributed at the door as the show's program. Playbill was first printed in 1884 for a single theater on 21st Street in New York City. The magazine is now used at nearly every Broadway theatre, as well as many Off-Broadway productions. Outside New York City, Playbill is used at theaters throughout the United States. What is known today as Playbill started in 1884, when Frank Vance Strauss founded the New York Theatre Program Corporation specializing in printing theater programs. Strauss reimagined the concept of a theater program making ads a standard feature and thus transforming what was then a leaflet into a fully designed magazine. The new format proved popular with theatergoers, who started to collect playbills as souvenirs; however, the name (The) Playbill hadn't appeared until the 1930s with early programs published by the company simply bearing the name of the venue. In 1918, Frank Vance Strauss sold the company to his nephew, Richard M. Huber. From 1918 onwards, the company started printing playbills for all of Broadway and by 1924, was printing programs for over 60 theaters. The 1920s also saw attempts to introduce consistency in the design with the covers of the magazines featuring artwork representing the theater, which would stay the same from show to show. In 1934-35, the name The Playbill made its first appearance on the cover although there was still no standard logo in that period. The design underwent a series of transformations with show titles occasionally switching places with The Playbill logo in various places on the cover until the magazine's logo found its permanent place at the top of the front cover and the publication became Playbill (in 1957), as it is known today. Each issue features articles focusing on actors, new plays, musicals, and special attractions. This "wraparound" section is the same for all Playbills at all venues each month. Within this wraparound, the Playbill contains listings, photos, and biographies of the cast; biographies of authors, composers, and production staff; a list of scenes, as songs and their performers (for musicals); and a brief description of the setting for the particular show. It also lists the number of intermissions and "At This Theatre", a column with historical information on the theater housing the production. The Playbill distributed on opening night of a Broadway show is stamped with a seal on the cover and the date appears on the title page within the magazine. This is, however, not the case for every opening night playbill: there are many in circulation that don't feature the date. Issue associated with The Broadway Theatre and their production of The Music Man.

Brossura. Condition: nuovo. Dust Jacket Condition: ottimo. prima edizione. Gilbert Keith Chesterton in questo saggio del 1913 sottolinea che la letteratura ha infranto il compromesso vittoriano che negava, grazie anche allo scudo morale offerto dall'utilitarismo, l'esistenza di un diffuso disagio sociale nell'Inghilterra della seconda rivoluzione industriale. I grandi scrittori, Dickens, sicuramente, ma soprattutto Stevenson, reagiscono a questa rimozione collettiva: ognuno a proprio modo ma tutti pienamente consapevoli che qualcosa di fondamentale fosse andata perduta nella loro società. L'Uomo. GKC intuisce che la ricerca ottusa del benessere ha portato a un autunno spirituale, a una strana e fredda atmosfera di vacuità: I vittoriani, scrive, credevano che il commercio estero dovesse portare la pace: e ha portato la guerra. Credevano che il commercio interno dovesse promuovere la prosperità: e ha in gran parte promosso la povertà. Ma per loro questi erano esperimenti; per noi devono essere insegnamenti. Se noi continueremo a trattare il popolo com'è nell'uso capitalista, se noi continueremo a servirci degli armamenti esteri com è nell'uso capitalista, il nostro comportamento ricadrà pesantemente sui vivi. Il disonore non resterà ai morti. GKC in this 1913 essay stresses that literature has broken the Victorian compromise which denied, thanks also to the moral shield offered by utilitarianism, the existence of a widespread social malaise in England in the second industrial revolution. The great writers-Dickens, surely, but especially Stevenson-react to this collective removal: each in their own way but all fully aware that something fundamental was lost in their society. The Man. GKC realizes that being obtuse research has resulted in a fall in a strange and cold atmosphere of spiritual emptiness: the Victorians-writes-believed that foreign trade would bring peace: and brought the war. They believed that internal trade were to promote prosperity: it has largely promoted poverty. But for them these were experiments; for we should be teaching. If we continue to treat the people how to use capitalist, though we will continue to serve us foreign arms as it is in the capitalist use our behavior will fall heavily on the living. The dishonor won't stay dead.
