Softcover. Condition: Good. Product DescriptionIn this comprehensive and reinterpretation of antebellum culture, Anne C. Rose analyzes the major shifts in intellectual life that occurred between 1830 and 1860. Whereas many interpretations of American culture in this period have emphasized a single theme or have been preoccupied with the ensuing Civil War, Rose considers sharply divergent tendencies in religion and politics and a wide range of reformers, authors, and other public figures.Including works by African Americans, Irish Americans, Native Americans, and Jewish Americans that have seldom been seen in relation to the era's more famous masterpieces, Voices of the Marketplace provides a clearer portrait of antebellum America.About the AuthorAnne C. Rose is professor of history, religious studies, and Jewish studies at Pennsylvania State University.

Softcover. Condition: Good. Pre-eighteenth century America was a uniquely pragmatic, utopian society-a new world in which the expectations of a new beginning brought by explorers, traders, and settlers often conflicted violently the Native Americans they encountered. In Era of Persuasion: American Thought and Culture 1521-1680, E. Brooks Holifield identifies the act of persuasion as the common ground on which these disparate groups stood.<br /><br />As he clearly documents and persuasively interprets an America that some readers may not recognize, Holifield includes compelling insights into the social expressions of Native Americans and Africans as well as Europeans. His view extends from the pueblos of New Mexico and the missions of France to the plantations of Virginia and the towns of New England. Era of Persuasion portrays an early American society populated by passionate visionaries with urgently persuasive purposes who lived by applied philosophy and inspired action, and will be appreciated by the curious reader and avid historian alike.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. annotated edition. In John le Carre's artful espionage novels, the most prominent "spy" might well be the author himself, for throughout his fiction readers see a worried, conscientious man peering into the deformed hearts of those who would betray his people and warning us of their trickery. Le Carre (the pen name of David John Moore Cornwell) has amassed broad popular and critical appeal by exploring difficult subjects while keeping his books engaging, lucid, and within the boundaries of the genre he now defines. Using his constant theme of the meretricious relationship of love and betrayal, he exploits the conventions of espionage fiction to show that no absolute standards of public or personal conduct exist, that humanism, no matter how ponderously examined, cannot avoid inhumanity.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. Romance was one of the major genres of the European Middle Ages. Emerging in the twelfth-century from both oral and written traditions, medieval romance evolved in verse and prose until by the sixteenth century the recognizable form of the classic novel was starting to appear.In Medieval French Romance, Douglas Kelly provides a clear and comprehensive survey of the many branches and subgenres of romance. He traces the evolution and adaptation of lays, chronicles, epic, chansons de geste, allegory, and other prose and verse forms, describes the elements that characterized each of these genres, and explains their relationship to and influence on romance. Chretien de Troyes, the most celebrated of the romance writers, asserted in the second half of the twelfth century that a true romance was distinguished from mere storytelling by la molt bele conjointure - the beautiful combination of elements, which made a story meaningful and entertaining for its audience.Certain stories and heroes were favorite themes in medieval romance, such as the Arthurian cycle, including Lancelot, Perceval, and the other knights of the Round Table; the Grail quest; Tristan and Iseult; and tales of courtly love and marvellous adventure. The book traces the development of these legends, many of which are still well known to us today, as they were interwoven through the centuries with lesser-known stories, historical chronicles, moral allegories, and epics.Douglas Kelly also introduces the reader to the literary and cultural context in which romances were commissioned, written, and read. He shows how the writing was influenced by both the intended audience and the patron or patroness - for there were many noble ladies who patronized and commissioned romance writers. He explains why, for serious subjects, prose was considered more "truthful" than verse. In a section that will be particularly useful to serious students of medieval literature yet also fascinating to the general reader, Professor Kelly explores such romance topics as the transmission and adaptation of texts, philology and editing of manuscripts, style, prosody, genres, and social and moral ideals. A unique and extremely valuable feature of the book is the detailed chronology for each of the texts, including variant versions, adaptations, and interpolations. The book also includes a glossary of special terms and an extensive bibliography of primary and secondary sources.For students, scholars, and the general reader alike, Medieval French Romance is an indispensable guide to understanding medieval romance as la molt bele conjointure.
