From the Preface: "This exhibition and its accompanying publication represent the first American effort to exhibit the Noufflards' paintings. There have been, however, earlier exhi- bitions in France, namely at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen and at the Musee Thiers in Paris. Fortunately, the Noufflards' circumstances allowed them to devote their lives to painting and, most importantly, to painting in a manner and style they preferred, that is, Impressionism. While other artists around them in Paris rejected Impressionism and Post-Impressionism in favor of a diverse range of styles from Abstraction to Expressionism, the Noufflards painted without regard to trends, the market or the opinions of Collectors or critics. Our knowledge of the Noufflards began with their introductions to us by John and Mary Ann Spence of Memphis. Mr. Spence has known the family since his days in World War II. Through Spence, the Noufflard daughters, Genevieveand Henriette, offered The Dixon the opportunity to organize an American tour of their parents' paintings. I am grateful to John Spence, Genevieve Noufflard and Henriette Noufflard Guy-Loe for their ideas and concept for this exhibition. The Dixon's interest in the Noufflards' work was further stimulated by my colleague, Richard Brettell. His enthusiasm for an exhibition of their work and willingness to lend his expertise in helping select the paintings launched the project. Although the Noufflards' names are not among the most well known of artists, one look at their work is convincing enough to acknowledge their talents. George Bryan of the Sara Lee Corporation is one among those enlightened by viewing their paintings. And, it is to him and the Sara Lee Corporation thatThe Dixon is most grateful for support of this publication and the Memphis presentation of the exhibition. Lynn Berg of Art Services International became another admirer of the Noufflards' paintings. Her belief in their work has proliferated interest in the exhibition throughout the United States. She and Art Services International deserve much credit for the organization of the American tour of the exhibition. On behalf of the Board of Thustees and the staff of The Dixon Gallery and Gardens, I would like to express gratitude to those who helped make this exhibition a reality. In particular, I wish to extend my appreciation to colleagues and friends whose assistance and support have been essential in the preparation of Heirs to Impressionism: Andre and Berthe Noufflard' Maria Bell-Salter, Francoise Benoist, Philippe Brame, Lucy M. Buchanan, Pete Ceren, Chenue and Sons, M. Clement, Sheila H. Clower, Liz Conway Margaret Frazier, Rev. Virgil C. Funk, Joseph M. Fury, Maurice Guy-Loe, Francoise Haguenau, Janet Haire, C.B. Jolly, Madame Emmanuel de Margerie, Carol Milnor, Joachim Pissaro, Lisa Simpson, and Ronnie Stoots. Finally, my deepest appreciation goes to the artists and their family for the cache of paintings, in excellent condition, which forms the exhibition.

When 19-year-old Alexander Scrimgeour lost his life in HMS Invincible at the Battle of Jutland in 1916,he left an exceptional legacy - his personal diaries and letters spanning the years 1910 to 1916. Concentrating on the years of the First World War,this book presents a rare and unique insight into the naval war through the eyes of a young midshipman.Full of sharp observation and warm wit,Alexander is at once the articulate and opinionated Royal Navy officer musing on the U-boat menace and the characters of his superiors,and the precocious adolescent reprimanding his mother,enjoying 'cocktails and fizz' at the Adelphi,or pining for his society sweetheart.Alexander Scrimgeour is one of the lost generation,but his voice still resonates almost a century later in these revelatory private writings,and will linger in the memory long after the last fateful pages are turned. Scrimgeour's wartime diaries and letters have been transcribed and compiled by descendant Richard Hallam and historian and screenwriter Mark Beynon.An introduction by Professor Andrew Lambert provides further naval and historical context.Andrew Lambert is Laughton Professor of Naval History in the Department of War Studies at King's College,London.His work focuses on the naval and strategic history of the British Empire between the Napoleonic Wars and the First World War.He lectures around the world and has published a number of highly respected books and articles.

Satisfaction Guaranteed. S.S. Van Dine is the pseudonym used by American art critic Willard Huntington Wright when he wrote detective novels. Wright was an important figure in avant-garde cultural circles in pre-World War I New York, and under the pseudonym (which he originally used to conceal his identity) he created the immensely popular fictional detective Philo Vance, a sleuth and aesthete who first appeared in books in the 1920s, then in films and on the radio. At age 21, Wright began his professional writing career as literary editor of the Los Angeles Times, where - describing himself as "'Esthetic expert and psychological shark" - he was known for his scathing book reviews and irreverent opinions. He was particularly caustic about romance and detective fiction. His friend and mentor H.L. Mencken was an early inspiration. Other important literary influences included Oscar Wilde and Ambrose Bierce. Wright was an advocate of the naturalism of Theodore Dreiser, and Wright's own novel, The Man of Promise (1916), was written in a similar style. In 1909, Wright wrote a perceptive profile of Edgar Allan Poe for the Los Angeles Times. Wright moved to New York City in 1911. He published realist fiction as editor of the New York literary magazine The Smart Set, from 1912 to 1914, a job he attained with Mencken's help. He was fired from that position when the magazine's conservative owner felt that Wright was intentionally provoking their middle-class readership with his interest in unconventional and often sexually explicit fiction. In his two-year tenure, Wright published short stories by Gabriele D'Annunzio, Floyd Dell, Ford Madox Ford, D.H. Lawrence, and George Moore; a play by Joseph Conrad; and poems by Ezra Pound and William Butler Yeats. In 1913, he visited Paris and Munich, seeing Impressionist and Synchromist works of art. He wrote an article about the art, Impressionism to Synchromism, December 1913, published in New York magazine, which brought the abstract art to public attention in the US. Wright's energies were devoted to numerous projects, reflecting his wide range of interests. His book What Nietzsche Taught appeared in 1915. An attempt to popularize the German philosopher with skeptical American audiences, it described and commented on all of Nietzsche's books and provided quotations from each work. Wright continued to write short stories in this period; in 2012 Brooks Hefner revealed heretofore unknown short stories that featured an intellectual criminal, written by Wright under a pseudonym several years before his adoption of the Van Dine pseudonym. Wright was, however, most respected in intellectual circles for his writing about art. In Modern Painting: Its Tendency and Meaning (secretly co-authored in 1915 with his brother Stanton), he surveyed the important art movements of the last hundred years from Manet to Cubism, praised the largely unknown work of Cézanne, and predicted a coming era in which an art of color abstraction would replace realism. Admired by people like Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe, Wright became under his brother's tutelage one of the most progressive (and belligerently opinionated) art critics of the time and helped to organize several shows, including the "Forum Exhibition of Modern American Painters", that brought the most advanced new painters to the attention of audiences on both coasts. He also published a work of aesthetic philosophy, The Creative Will (1916), that O'Keeffe and William Faulkner both regarded as a meaningful influence on their thinking about artistic identity. In 1917, Wright published Misinforming a Nation, in which he mounted a blistering attack on alleged inaccuracies and British biases in the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition. A Germanophile, Wright did not support America's decision to join the Allied cause in World War I, and he was blackballed from journalism for more than two years after an overzealous secretary (erroneously) accused him of spying for Germany, an episode that became a much-publicized scandal in New York in November 1917. Though cleared, his favourable view of Prussian militarism cost him his friendships with Mencken and Dreiser. In 1929, at the height of his fame as 'Philo Vance', he was appointed Police Commissioner of Bradley Beach, New Jersey. After suffering a nervous breakdown and the beginning of a long-term dependence on drugs, Wright retreated to California, where he attempted to make a living as a newspaper columnist in San Francisco. Contrary to what is stated in some sources, Wright did write a biography of the poet Richard Hovey and it was announced for publication in Spring 1914. In 1929, Wright stated that "It is true that at one time I was working on a book relating to Richard Hovey and his friends but Mrs Hovey died before the book went to press, and it has never been published"; that remains the case. .

How envy, spite, and the pursuit of admiration influence politics Why do governments underspend on policies that would make their constituents better off? Why do people participate in contentious politics when they could reap benefits if they were to abstain? In Envy in Politics, Gwyneth McClendon contends that if we want to understand these and other forms of puzzling political behavior, we should pay attention to envy, spite, and the pursuit of admiration--all manifestations of our desire to maintain or enhance our status within groups. Drawing together insights from political philosophy, behavioral economics, psychology, and anthropology, McClendon explores how and under what conditions status motivations influence politics. Through surveys, case studies, interviews, and an experiment, McClendon argues that when concerns about in-group status are unmanaged by social conventions or are explicitly primed by elites, status motivations can become drivers of public opinion and political participation. McClendon focuses on the United States and South Africa-two countries that provide tough tests for her arguments while also demonstrating that the arguments apply in different contexts. From debates over redistribution to the mobilization of collective action, Envy in Politics presents the first theoretical and empirical investigation of the connection between status motivations and political behavior., 6, New. The two-hundredth anniversary of the U.S. Constitution and the intense debates surrounding the recent nominees to the Supreme Court have refocused attention on one of the most fundamental documents in U.S. history -- and on the judges who settle disputes over its interpretation. Liberty under Law is a concise and readable history of the U.S. Supreme Court, from its antecedents in colonial and British legal tradition to the present. William M. Wiecek surveys the impact of the Court's power of judicial review on important aspects of the nation's political, economic, and social life. The author highlights important decisions on issues that range from the scope and legitimacy of judicial review itself to civil rights, censorship, the rights of privacy, separation of church and state, and the powers of the President and Congress to conduct foreign affairs. Wiecek's own beliefs about the Court and the Constitution are unabashed and clearly stated. He expresses admiration for John Marshall while critically reviewing the mixed achievements of Marshall's successor, Roger Taney, author of the infamous Dred Scott opinion, which upheld the legitimacy of slavery. And he offers sharp criticism of the Court's "formalist" era in the early twentieth century, when judicial obstructionists "sought to shield a minority of wealth from the effects of democratic politics." Throughout, Wiecek underscores the importance of disagreements over just what law is, and over the Court's role in interpreting that law. In so doing, he broadens the context for current debates about the Constitution and efforts to establish what some have called a "jurisprudence of original intention." The mirror of history, heshows, reveals the limitations of such a narrow scope of interpretation., 6, paperback. Good. Access codes and supplements are not guaranteed with used items.

You will never know how much enjoyment you have lost until you get to dictating your autobiography." Thus, after dozens of fals e starts and hundreds of pages, Twain embarked on his "Final (and Right) Pl an" for telling the story of his life. His innovative notion-to "talk only about the thing which interests you for the moment"-meant that his thoughts could range freely. The strict instruction that many of these texts remain unpublished for 100 years meant that when they came out, he would be "dead , and unaware, and indifferent," and that he was therefore free to speak hi s "whole frank mind." The year 2010 marks the 100th anniversary of Twain's death.

New. SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON "THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD" VOL. II. HIS DOMINION These reviews/comments followed the original release of His Dominion in 1908. Miss Charlotte Mason has now given us the second instalment of her elaborate work in verse on "The Saviour of the World." . . . Miss Mason renders into graceful and original verse part of the story of Christ as found in the Gospels. She seeks to cover each incident in His career, and each notable saying to which He gave utterance, in a single poem, the series to form a complete story. Her obvious sincerity and the high aim which is everywhere apparent make her pleasing verses singularly attractive. She is reverent throughout and always dignified. -Dundee Advertiser Miss Mason has much of the subtle skill of Browning, and her effusions breathe everywhere a spirit of deep devotion to "The Saviour of Mankind." -Catholic Times Miss Mason's gracefully versified tractate in Christian theology-for that is what the poem is-should be read without weariness by the devout . . . On its literary side the book will readily evoke the admiration and sympathy of readers who like to have familiar lessons of Christianity refreshed by good workmanship in metrical art. -Scotsman The first volume met with a very cordial reception, and now the talented authoress gives her second volume to the world. . . . The authoress employs the choicest language, and shows great skill in versification. The whole work, in fact, aims at giving the whole of the Gospel story in verse-not a small task, by any means, but one for which Miss Mason seems to be specially endowed. -Western Mail Miss Mason here continues what she modestly describes as a "paraphrase in verse" of the Gospel story. As the writer aptly remarks, such a theme as this, in its sacred utterances and dramatic situations, finds a better medium of presentation in poetry than in prose. The first stage or act of the inspired narrative, The Holy Infancy, being completed, Miss Mason passes on to the Ministry of Our Lord at its commencement and first teaching (Sermon on the Mount and earlier parables), and first miracles . . . the sequence of the work is marked no less by the skill of the author than by the reverent spirit in which it is composed. Echoes of George Herbert and of Isaac Williams are to be caught here and there in the various pieces, as. E.g. where paraphrasing a passage in the Sermon on the Mount, Miss Mason writes: - "Nay, keep thy soul at eve, Nor e'er perceive The heavy odour of an unchaste thought." It would be difficult to express better the "atmosphere" of the new Paradise "regained" by Christ in place of that which was lost. -Bookseller The same careful, reverent handling of holy things characterises this new volume, which, like the former, is a paraphrase, in blank verse chiefly, of the Gospel narrative. -Guardian, 6, Calcutta : Writer's Workshop, 1968 . Hardcover. Good/good. His first book, signed 'with compliments, Srinivas Rayaprol'. Quarter-bound in peach linen on paper boards. Dustjacket shows loss. Rayaprol, son of a leading modern poet in Telugu late Rayaprolu Subbara, was educated at Benares Hindu University and Stanford University. He discovered modern poetry in United States, the country to which he owed both an education and "my personal emancipation." It was a debt of gratitude, but it did not make him a wide eyed admirer of all things American. In the final issue of East and West, a magazine he founded and edited from 1956 to 1961, Rayaprol said reading contemporary American poetry with its "beatniks and Jazz poets and the daytime poets and nighttime poets, the poets in pony tails and the poets of hoola-hoop school, I feel sick - of myself, of this world and this present state of writing. "His opinions endeared him to some American poets; among them William Carlos Williams, who was contributor to East and West and with whom Rayaprol carried on a long term correspondence. - from Muse IndiaHe published three books of poems: Bones and Distances (1968), Married Love and Other Poems (1972), and Selected Poems (1995)., Writer's Workshop, 1968, 2.5, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1987.

G.?s virtues as an editor and commentator on Aeschylus are considerable. He is not himself an adventurous textual critic, nor does he offer a particularly novel or distinctive reading of the play. But he has read widely and thought hard, he brings to bear a sober and discriminating judgment, he is open to different opinions and approaches, and, above all, he combines both philological and literary expertise for the elucidation of matters large and small. (?) The first section of the introduction provides a skillful survey of the scattered and often enigmatic evidence for ?The Story before Aeschylus?. (?) In the second section of the introduction (?The Play?), G. begins with a succinct but thorough analysis of the preceding play, incidentally disposing of a number of misleading or untenable interpretations, while providing a coherent and well-balanced preparation for ?Choephori?. (?) Much of the power of ?Choephori?, and of the trilogy, derives from the presence of these two conflicting dramatic logics: one presenting us with an unending series of crimes ?like their parents?, promising light but delivering us into further darkness; the other building up to a third and final stage of salvation, capping and ?perfecting? all that has preceded. (?) As for Orestes? motivation and feelings, G. emphasizes the importance of 297-305 and identifies ?three factors (that) drive him to murder Clytaemnestra?: the will of the Olympian gods; the vengeance required by Agamemnon?s spirit, and Orestes?own will. (?) G.?s reading of the kommos is balanced and convincing, drawing equally on both Schadewaldt and Lesky; and his account of the build-up to the matricide is masterly. (?) In this same section of the introduction, G. pays close attention (as he does throughout the commentary) to Aeschylus? dense and pervasive patterns of imagery. (?) The other two sections of the introduction (?Staging?, ?The Text?) are straightforward. (?) The commentary, for all the textual corruption and interpretive disagreement that it must address, manages to remain admirably clear and easy to follow (and easy to consult on individual points). This clarity is possible in large part because G. introduces each section of the play with a separate interpretive essay, outlining the main areas of controversy and indicating his own position.?

After the Spanish-American War the United States, both by design and by accident, became involved in the Caribbean and the Far East on a scale that would have seemed highly improbable before 1898. As an "emerging" world power, the United States had to grapple with new issues, among them the role of military men and military power in protecting and advancing America's position in the world. Richard D. Challener has examined civil-military relationships in the period 1898-1914 to answer the following questions: To what extent did army and navy officers develop opinions on foreign policy issues? Were the admirals and generals consulted by the civilian officials of government, and did they participate in decision-making? How did the President and State Department use the military services in execution of foreign policy? Were military and diplomatic policy co-ordinated? Does an examination of these relationships help to assess either the interpretations of Kennan and the "realists" or Williams and the "New Left"? And ultimately, how effectively did the United States manage to reconcile force and diplomacy? This book sustains the case for interpreting 1898 and its aftermath as a deliberate search for an "informal" or "insular" empire and shows that American leaders, both civil and military, accepted an interventionist ethic. Originally published in 1973. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905., 6<

Dixon Galleries and Gardens, 1989-01-01. Paperback. Very Good. Minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. 80 pages, illustrated in black and white and color. From the Preface: "This exhibition and its accompanying publication represent the first American effort to exhibit the Noufflards' paintings. There have been, however, earlier exhi- bitions in France, namely at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen and at the Musee Thiers in Paris. Fortunately, the Noufflards' circumstances allowed them to devote their lives to painting and, most importantly, to painting in a manner and style they preferred, that is, Impressionism. While other artists around them in Paris rejected Impressionism and Post-Impressionism in favor of a diverse range of styles from Abstraction to Expressionism, the Noufflards painted without regard to trends, the market or the opinions of Collectors or critics. Our knowledge of the Noufflards began with their introductions to us by John and Mary Ann Spence of Memphis. Mr. Spence has known the family since his days in World War II. Through Spence, the Noufflard daughters, Genevieveand Henriette, offered The Dixon the opportunity to organize an American tour of their parents' paintings. I am grateful to John Spence, Genevieve Noufflard and Henriette Noufflard Guy-Loe for their ideas and concept for this exhibition. The Dixon's interest in the Noufflards' work was further stimulated by my colleague, Richard Brettell. His enthusiasm for an exhibition of their work and willingness to lend his expertise in helping select the paintings launched the project. Although the Noufflards' names are not among the most well known of artists, one look at their work is convincing enough to acknowledge their talents. George Bryan of the Sara Lee Corporation is one among those enlightened by viewing their paintings. And, it is to him and the Sara Lee Corporation thatThe Dixon is most grateful for support of this publication and the Memphis presentation of the exhibition. Lynn Berg of Art Services International became another admirer of the Noufflards' paintings. Her belief in their work has proliferated interest in the exhibition throughout the United States. She and Art Services International deserve much credit for the organization of the American tour of the exhibition. On behalf of the Board of Thustees and the staff of The Dixon Gallery and Gardens, I would like to express gratitude to those who helped make this exhibition a reality. In particular, I wish to extend my appreciation to colleagues and friends whose assistance and support have been essential in the preparation of Heirs to Impressionism: Andre and Berthe Noufflard' Maria Bell-Salter, Francoise Benoist, Philippe Brame, Lucy M. Buchanan, Pete Ceren, Chenue and Sons, M. Clement, Sheila H. Clower, Liz Conway Margaret Frazier, Rev. Virgil C. Funk, Joseph M. Fury, Maurice Guy-Loe, Francoise Haguenau, Janet Haire, C.B.

When 19-year-old Alexander Scrimgeour lost his life in HMS Invincible at the Battle of Jutland in 1916,he left an exceptional legacy - his personal diaries and letters spanning the years 1910 to 1916. Concentrating on the years of the First World War,this book presents a rare and unique insight into the naval war through the eyes of a young midshipman.Full of sharp observation and warm wit,Alexander is at once the articulate and opinionated Royal Navy officer musing on the U-boat menace and the characters of his superiors,and the precocious adolescent reprimanding his mother,enjoying 'cocktails and fizz' at the Adelphi,or pining for his society sweetheart.Alexander Scrimgeour is one of the lost generation,but his voice still resonates almost a century later in these revelatory private writings,and will linger in the memory long after the last fateful pages are turned. Scrimgeour's wartime diaries and letters have been transcribed and compiled by descendant Richard Hallam and historian and screenwriter Mark Beynon.An introduction by Professor Andrew Lambert provides further naval and historical context.Andrew Lambert is Laughton Professor of Naval History in the Department of War Studies at King's College,London.His work focuses on the naval and strategic history of the British Empire between the Napoleonic Wars and the First World War.He lectures around the world and has published a number of highly respected books and articles.

A Philo Vance Story.

Satisfaction Guaranteed. S.S. Van Dine is the pseudonym used by American art critic Willard Huntington Wright when he wrote detective novels. Wright was an important figure in avant-garde cultural circles in pre-World War I New York, and under the pseudonym (which he originally used to conceal his identity) he created the immensely popular fictional detective Philo Vance, a sleuth and aesthete who first appeared in books in the 1920s, then in films and on the radio. At age 21, Wright began his professional writing career as literary editor of the Los Angeles Times, where - describing himself as "'Esthetic expert and psychological shark" - he was known for his scathing book reviews and irreverent opinions. He was particularly caustic about romance and detective fiction. His friend and mentor H.L. Mencken was an early inspiration. Other important literary influences included Oscar Wilde and Ambrose Bierce. Wright was an advocate of the naturalism of Theodore Dreiser, and Wright's own novel, The Man of Promise (1916), was written in a similar style. In 1909, Wright wrote a perceptive profile of Edgar Allan Poe for the Los Angeles Times. Wright moved to New York City in 1911. He published realist fiction as editor of the New York literary magazine The Smart Set, from 1912 to 1914, a job he attained with Mencken's help. He was fired from that position when the magazine's conservative owner felt that Wright was intentionally provoking their middle-class readership with his interest in unconventional and often sexually explicit fiction. In his two-year tenure, Wright published short stories by Gabriele D'Annunzio, Floyd Dell, Ford Madox Ford, D.H. Lawrence, and George Moore; a play by Joseph Conrad; and poems by Ezra Pound and William Butler Yeats. In 1913, he visited Paris and Munich, seeing Impressionist and Synchromist works of art. He wrote an article about the art, Impressionism to Synchromism, December 1913, published in New York magazine, which brought the abstract art to public attention in the US. Wright's energies were devoted to numerous projects, reflecting his wide range of interests. His book What Nietzsche Taught appeared in 1915. An attempt to popularize the German philosopher with skeptical American audiences, it described and commented on all of Nietzsche's books and provided quotations from each work. Wright continued to write short stories in this period; in 2012 Brooks Hefner revealed heretofore unknown short stories that featured an intellectual criminal, written by Wright under a pseudonym several years before his adoption of the Van Dine pseudonym. Wright was, however, most respected in intellectual circles for his writing about art. In Modern Painting: Its Tendency and Meaning (secretly co-authored in 1915 with his brother Stanton), he surveyed the important art movements of the last hundred years from Manet to Cubism, praised the largely unknown work of Cézanne, and predicted a coming era in which an art of color abstraction would replace realism. Admired by people like Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O'Keeffe, Wright became under his brother's tutelage one of the most progressive (and belligerently opinionated) art critics of the time and helped to organize several shows, including the "Forum Exhibition of Modern American Painters", that brought the most advanced new painters to the attention of audiences on both coasts. He also published a work of aesthetic philosophy, The Creative Will (1916), that O'Keeffe and William Faulkner both regarded as a meaningful influence on their thinking about artistic identity. In 1917, Wright published Misinforming a Nation, in which he mounted a blistering attack on alleged inaccuracies and British biases in the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition. A Germanophile, Wright did not support America's decision to join the Allied cause in World War I, and he was blackballed from journalism for more than two years after an overzealous secretary (erroneously) accused him of spying for Germany, an episode that became a much-publicized scandal in New York in November 1917. Though cleared, his favourable view of Prussian militarism cost him his friendships with Mencken and Dreiser. In 1929, at the height of his fame as 'Philo Vance', he was appointed Police Commissioner of Bradley Beach, New Jersey. After suffering a nervous breakdown and the beginning of a long-term dependence on drugs, Wright retreated to California, where he attempted to make a living as a newspaper columnist in San Francisco. Contrary to what is stated in some sources, Wright did write a biography of the poet Richard Hovey and it was announced for publication in Spring 1914. In 1929, Wright stated that "It is true that at one time I was working on a book relating to Richard Hovey and his friends but Mrs Hovey died before the book went to press, and it has never been published"; that remains the case. .

How envy, spite, and the pursuit of admiration influence politics Why do governments underspend on policies that would make their constituents better off? Why do people participate in contentious politics when they could reap benefits if they were to abstain? In Envy in Politics, Gwyneth McClendon contends that if we want to understand these and other forms of puzzling political behavior, we should pay attention to envy, spite, and the pursuit of admiration--all manifestations of our desire to maintain or enhance our status within groups. Drawing together insights from political philosophy, behavioral economics, psychology, and anthropology, McClendon explores how and under what conditions status motivations influence politics. Through surveys, case studies, interviews, and an experiment, McClendon argues that when concerns about in-group status are unmanaged by social conventions or are explicitly primed by elites, status motivations can become drivers of public opinion and political participation. McClendon focuses on the United States and South Africa-two countries that provide tough tests for her arguments while also demonstrating that the arguments apply in different contexts. From debates over redistribution to the mobilization of collective action, Envy in Politics presents the first theoretical and empirical investigation of the connection between status motivations and political behavior., 6, New. The two-hundredth anniversary of the U.S. Constitution and the intense debates surrounding the recent nominees to the Supreme Court have refocused attention on one of the most fundamental documents in U.S. history -- and on the judges who settle disputes over its interpretation. Liberty under Law is a concise and readable history of the U.S. Supreme Court, from its antecedents in colonial and British legal tradition to the present. William M. Wiecek surveys the impact of the Court's power of judicial review on important aspects of the nation's political, economic, and social life. The author highlights important decisions on issues that range from the scope and legitimacy of judicial review itself to civil rights, censorship, the rights of privacy, separation of church and state, and the powers of the President and Congress to conduct foreign affairs. Wiecek's own beliefs about the Court and the Constitution are unabashed and clearly stated. He expresses admiration for John Marshall while critically reviewing the mixed achievements of Marshall's successor, Roger Taney, author of the infamous Dred Scott opinion, which upheld the legitimacy of slavery. And he offers sharp criticism of the Court's "formalist" era in the early twentieth century, when judicial obstructionists "sought to shield a minority of wealth from the effects of democratic politics." Throughout, Wiecek underscores the importance of disagreements over just what law is, and over the Court's role in interpreting that law. In so doing, he broadens the context for current debates about the Constitution and efforts to establish what some have called a "jurisprudence of original intention." The mirror of history, heshows, reveals the limitations of such a narrow scope of interpretation., 6, paperback. Good. Access codes and supplements are not guaranteed with used items.

You will never know how much enjoyment you have lost until you get to dictating your autobiography." Thus, after dozens of fals e starts and hundreds of pages, Twain embarked on his "Final (and Right) Pl an" for telling the story of his life. His innovative notion-to "talk only about the thing which interests you for the moment"-meant that his thoughts could range freely. The strict instruction that many of these texts remain unpublished for 100 years meant that when they came out, he would be "dead , and unaware, and indifferent," and that he was therefore free to speak hi s "whole frank mind." The year 2010 marks the 100th anniversary of Twain's death.

New. SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON "THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD" VOL. II. HIS DOMINION These reviews/comments followed the original release of His Dominion in 1908. Miss Charlotte Mason has now given us the second instalment of her elaborate work in verse on "The Saviour of the World." . . . Miss Mason renders into graceful and original verse part of the story of Christ as found in the Gospels. She seeks to cover each incident in His career, and each notable saying to which He gave utterance, in a single poem, the series to form a complete story. Her obvious sincerity and the high aim which is everywhere apparent make her pleasing verses singularly attractive. She is reverent throughout and always dignified. -Dundee Advertiser Miss Mason has much of the subtle skill of Browning, and her effusions breathe everywhere a spirit of deep devotion to "The Saviour of Mankind." -Catholic Times Miss Mason's gracefully versified tractate in Christian theology-for that is what the poem is-should be read without weariness by the devout . . . On its literary side the book will readily evoke the admiration and sympathy of readers who like to have familiar lessons of Christianity refreshed by good workmanship in metrical art. -Scotsman The first volume met with a very cordial reception, and now the talented authoress gives her second volume to the world. . . . The authoress employs the choicest language, and shows great skill in versification. The whole work, in fact, aims at giving the whole of the Gospel story in verse-not a small task, by any means, but one for which Miss Mason seems to be specially endowed. -Western Mail Miss Mason here continues what she modestly describes as a "paraphrase in verse" of the Gospel story. As the writer aptly remarks, such a theme as this, in its sacred utterances and dramatic situations, finds a better medium of presentation in poetry than in prose. The first stage or act of the inspired narrative, The Holy Infancy, being completed, Miss Mason passes on to the Ministry of Our Lord at its commencement and first teaching (Sermon on the Mount and earlier parables), and first miracles . . . the sequence of the work is marked no less by the skill of the author than by the reverent spirit in which it is composed. Echoes of George Herbert and of Isaac Williams are to be caught here and there in the various pieces, as. E.g. where paraphrasing a passage in the Sermon on the Mount, Miss Mason writes: - "Nay, keep thy soul at eve, Nor e'er perceive The heavy odour of an unchaste thought." It would be difficult to express better the "atmosphere" of the new Paradise "regained" by Christ in place of that which was lost. -Bookseller The same careful, reverent handling of holy things characterises this new volume, which, like the former, is a paraphrase, in blank verse chiefly, of the Gospel narrative. -Guardian, 6, Calcutta : Writer's Workshop, 1968 . Hardcover. Good/good. His first book, signed 'with compliments, Srinivas Rayaprol'. Quarter-bound in peach linen on paper boards. Dustjacket shows loss. Rayaprol, son of a leading modern poet in Telugu late Rayaprolu Subbara, was educated at Benares Hindu University and Stanford University. He discovered modern poetry in United States, the country to which he owed both an education and "my personal emancipation." It was a debt of gratitude, but it did not make him a wide eyed admirer of all things American. In the final issue of East and West, a magazine he founded and edited from 1956 to 1961, Rayaprol said reading contemporary American poetry with its "beatniks and Jazz poets and the daytime poets and nighttime poets, the poets in pony tails and the poets of hoola-hoop school, I feel sick - of myself, of this world and this present state of writing. "His opinions endeared him to some American poets; among them William Carlos Williams, who was contributor to East and West and with whom Rayaprol carried on a long term correspondence. - from Muse IndiaHe published three books of poems: Bones and Distances (1968), Married Love and Other Poems (1972), and Selected Poems (1995)., Writer's Workshop, 1968, 2.5, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1987. Reprint 1st ed.1986. LX,394p. Cloth. School library stamp on free endpaper. Nice copy. ?Undergraduates and professional scholars alike can be grateful to Garvie for this excellent edition. G.?s virtues as an editor and commentator on Aeschylus are considerable. He is not himself an adventurous textual critic, nor does he offer a particularly novel or distinctive reading of the play. But he has read widely and thought hard, he brings to bear a sober and discriminating judgment, he is open to different opinions and approaches, and, above all, he combines both philological and literary expertise for the elucidation of matters large and small. (?) The first section of the introduction provides a skillful survey of the scattered and often enigmatic evidence for ?The Story before Aeschylus?. (?) In the second section of the introduction (?The Play?), G. begins with a succinct but thorough analysis of the preceding play, incidentally disposing of a number of misleading or untenable interpretations, while providing a coherent and well-balanced preparation for ?Choephori?. (?) Much of the power of ?Choephori?, and of the trilogy, derives from the presence of these two conflicting dramatic logics: one presenting us with an unending series of crimes ?like their parents?, promising light but delivering us into further darkness; the other building up to a third and final stage of salvation, capping and ?perfecting? all that has preceded. (?) As for Orestes? motivation and feelings, G. emphasizes the importance of 297-305 and identifies ?three factors (that) drive him to murder Clytaemnestra?: the will of the Olympian gods; the vengeance required by Agamemnon?s spirit, and Orestes?own will. (?) G.?s reading of the kommos is balanced and convincing, drawing equally on both Schadewaldt and Lesky; and his account of the build-up to the matricide is masterly. (?) In this same section of the introduction, G. pays close attention (as he does throughout the commentary) to Aeschylus? dense and pervasive patterns of imagery. (?) The other two sections of the introduction (?Staging?, ?The Text?) are straightforward. (?) The commentary, for all the textual corruption and interpretive disagreement that it must address, manages to remain admirably clear and easy to follow (and easy to consult on individual points). This clarity is possible in large part because G. introduces each section of the play with a separate interpretive essay, outlining the main areas of controversy and indicating his own position.?

After the Spanish-American War the United States, both by design and by accident, became involved in the Caribbean and the Far East on a scale that would have seemed highly improbable before 1898. As an "emerging" world power, the United States had to grapple with new issues, among them the role of military men and military power in protecting and advancing America's position in the world. Richard D. Challener has examined civil-military relationships in the period 1898-1914 to answer the following questions: To what extent did army and navy officers develop opinions on foreign policy issues? Were the admirals and generals consulted by the civilian officials of government, and did they participate in decision-making? How did the President and State Department use the military services in execution of foreign policy? Were military and diplomatic policy co-ordinated? Does an examination of these relationships help to assess either the interpretations of Kennan and the "realists" or Williams and the "New Left"? And ultimately, how effectively did the United States manage to reconcile force and diplomacy? This book sustains the case for interpreting 1898 and its aftermath as a deliberate search for an "informal" or "insular" empire and shows that American leaders, both civil and military, accepted an interventionist ethic. Originally published in 1973. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
