Just War scholarship has adapted to contemporary crises and situations. But its adaptation has spurned debate and conversation. Caron E. Gentry and Amy E. Eckert argue that the tradition needs to be updated to deal with substate actors within the realm of legitimate authority, private military companies, and the moral difference between the use of conventional and nuclear weapons.

Part history and part meditation, Down to Now is a southern journalist's intensely personal account of the civil rights movement in the South during the 1960s.

Amelia Akehurst Lines's diaries and letters provide an extraordinarily rich record of the attitudes and values of an "average" American woman of the mid-nineteenth century. Lines was a young New York schoolteacher whose ambition drove her to seek new opportunities in rural Georgia.

Even when these poems soften, they can't be complacent about good fortune: for all the maple seedpods and snow fluttering down here, the poems are always aware of wreckage and car bombs there, and they keep conscious of the mustard gas of old wars and the losses of recent ones.

In Georgia during the Great Depression, jobless workers united with the urban poor, sharecroppers, and tenant farmers.

This book lets us understand the movement.

Argues that American historians of the early national period, grappled with objectivity, professionalism, and other "modern" issues to a greater degree than their successors in later generations acknowledge. This book challenges the entrenched notion that America's first generations of historians were romantics for a struggling young nation.

With an eye toward Shakespeare's inherited resources for articulating anxieties rooted in philosophical doubt, Skulsky shows that in Hamlet, Measure for Measure, King Lear, and Othello the drama of doubt in search of an exit gives its own kind of urgency to the more familiar Shakespearean drama of action and motive.

A searching contribution to the study of what gurative language is and how it works, this book is a guide to the sophisticated and powerful artistry of the seventeenth-century English poets who have come to be known by the misleading name of "Metaphysicals."

King brings twentieth-century Christian existentialism and post-Freudian psychological theory to bear upon Hamlet and his famous problems.

Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale, and The Tempest-three of Shakespeare's final plays diverge from his usual standards. Mowat posits that by confronting the comic form with the tragic, the realistic with the artificial, the dramatic with the narrative, Shakespeare frees romance from the traditional bounds and makes meaning in a new way.

Hunter shows how Shakespeare uses the major attitudes toward God's judgment in creating Richard III, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, and King Lear. He notes that Shakespeare's different viewpoints are the heart of the tragedies themselves.

Hassel examines informed allusions to familiar Pauline and Erasmian Christian passages and themes in Shakespeare's plays. He argues that not only did Shakespeare's audience understand these allusions but also that these allusions led the audience to recognize their pertinence to the playwright's uniquely Christian comic vision.
