  • - Paraguay's Febrerista Party
    av Paul H. Lewis
    875,-

    The Febrerista party of Paraguay, which is examined here, is particularly interesting because it has operated in exile for twenty-seven of the thirty years of its existence. This is an informative study concerning a long-neglected type of political party and should invite comparative analyses from other countries. Originally published in 1968.

  • - Dryden's Comedy in Theory and Practice
    av Frank Harper Moore
    875,-

    Traces John Dryden's theory of comedy through two main stages of development, 1663-75 and 1675-1700. In the first stage, Dryden conceives of ideal comedy as a heightened mixture of Jonsonian humour and Fletcherian love and wit. In the second stage, naturalness and satire become the key principles, and Shakespeare becomes his primary model. Originally published in 1963.

  • - The Heroic Tragedies of Chapman and Shakespeare
    av Richard S. Ide
    875,-

    Argues that some of Chapman's and Shakespeare's best Jacobean plays are related by genre, tragic hero, and the type of tragic conflict. Although the two playwrights clearly share a fascination for the soldier hero and an acute awareness of his social incompetence and deviance, the dramas reveal sharply divergent attitudes toward his heroic idealism. Originally published in 1980.

  • av Josephus Daniels

  • - The Politics of Nostalgia in Umbertian Italy, 1878-1900
    av Richard Drake
    875,-

    Drake's study of politics and culture in Umbertian Italy focuses on the political thought and activity of a highly intellectual group of reactionary intellectuals whose politics were a nostalgic appeal to the Mazzinian vision of the Third Rome. By 1900 a fresh ideological alternative had developed for the right-wing intellectuals - nationalism. Originally published 1980.

  • av Josephus Daniels
    1 399,-

  • - Studies in Contemporary Fiction
    av Margaret Church
    875,-

    The discussions of Church in this discerning study indicate precisely how an author's concept of time influences the value and meaning of his or her novels, how keen awareness of the interplay of theory and technique is revealed, and how new resources of the novelist's art have grown out of the anatomy of time. Originally published in 1963.

  • - Albert Venn Dicey, Victorian Jurist
    av Richard A. Cosgrove
    875,-

    So commonplace has the term rule of law become that few recognize its source as Dicey's Introduction to the Study of the Law of the Constitution. Cosgrove examines the life and career of Dicey, the most influential constitutional authority of late Victorian and Edwardian Britain, showing how his critical and intellectual powers were accompanied by a simplicity of character and wit.

  • av Mark Lincoln Chadwin
    875,-

    Shows how pressure groups in the US work and explains the vital nature of such pressure groups in time of global war.

  • av Gary Lawson Browne
    1 049,-

    Eighteenth-century Baltimore was a traditional society - aristocratic, personal, and private.

The industrial revolution standardized social processes and made them a matter of public concern, providing the basis for the new, nineteenth-century public society.

    av James T. Callow

Also, the role of the Knickerbockers in the development of American architecture and painting is treated at length. Originally published in 1967.

  • - The Story of North Carolina's First Effort to Establish an East and West Trunk Line Railroad
    av Cecil Kenneth Brown
    875,-

    The story of North Carolina's railroad development is the story of a long and unsuccessful struggle to secure a trunk line east and west. Today the main railroads run north and south, following the fundamental geographical lay of the land, the original dream defeated by geography, sectional differences, politics, and the paralyzing effects of war.

    av Carol Jones Carlisle
    1 049,-

    Brings together the most interesting criticisms of Shakespeare by English-speaking actors. The introductory chapter suggests the actors' typical contributions to Shakespeare criticism.

  • av Robert Boyle
    859

    What distinguishes Boyle's book from similar studies is his sensitive judgment as critic and his deep and refined spirituality as a man of God. His approach is uncomplicated. After discussing the nature of metaphor, he reaches a provisional definition that includes rhythm. This rhythm, he believes, has unique metaphorical significance in Hopkins's poetry. Originally published in 1961.

  • av Henry M. Wagstaff

    av John M. Steadman

    Explores the intellectual background of Paradise Lost, with particular emphasis on problems of characterization.

Originally published in 1963.

  • - Volume 3: The Sonata Since Beethoven
    av William S. Newman
    1 049,-

    This volume completes Newman's monumental study of the sonata.

  • - An Intellectual Study
    av Thomas R. Nevin
    875,-

    Few men in America's intellectual history have sought as much as Irving Babbitt to be a crucible for the cultural values that America had no inclination to receive. Even now, Babbitt remains a figure of controversy. He retains his reputation as a reactionary defender of genteel morality, yet, as Thomas Nevin reminds us, he continues to be a scholar of importance and an erudite, forceful teacher.
