Download or read book The Age of Johnson written by Jack Lynch and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2021-06-18 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The move to a new publisher has given The Age of Johnson: A Scholarly Annual the opportunity to recommit to what it does best: present to a wide readership cant-free scholarly articles and essays and searching book reviews, all featuring a wide variety of approaches, written by both seasoned scholars and relative newcomers. Volume 24 features commentary on a range of Johnsonian topics: his reaction to Milton, his relation to the Allen family, his notes in his edition of Shakespeare, his use of Oliver Goldsmith in his Dictionary, and his always fascinating Nachleben. The volume also includes articles on topics of strong interest to Johnson: penal reform, Charlotte Lennox's professional literary career, and the "conjectural history" of Homer in the eighteenth century. For more than two decades, The Age of Johnson has presented a vast corpus of Johnsonian studies "in the broadest sense," as founding editor Paul J. Korshin put it in the preface to Volume 1, and it has retained the interest of a wide readership. In thousands of pages of articles, review essays, and reviews, The Age of Johnson has made a permanent contribution to our understanding of the eighteenth century, and particularly of Samuel Johnson, his circle, and his interests, and has also served as an outlet for writers who are not academics but have something important to say about the eighteenth century.

Book Synopsis Chaplin's War Trilogy by : Wes D. Gehring
Download or read book Chaplin's War Trilogy written by Wes D. Gehring and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines Charlie Chaplin's evolving perspective on dark comedy in his three war films, Shoulder Arms (1918), The Great Dictator (1940), and Monsieur Verdoux (1947). In the first he uses the genre in a groundbreaking manner but yet for a pro-war cause. In Dictator dark comedy is applied in an antiwar way. In Monsieur Verdoux Chaplin embraces the genre as an individual in defense against a society out to destroy him. All three are pivotal films in the development of the genre in film, with the latter two movies being very controversial for their time.

Download or read book Robert Wise written by Wes D. Gehring and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2012 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Winchester, Indiana, Robert Wise spent much of his youth sitting in darkened movie theaters enthralled by the swashbuckling heroics of screen legend Douglas Fairbanks Sr. Through these viewings, Wise developed a passion for film—a passion he followed for the rest of his life, making movies in Hollywood. Nationally known film historian Wes D. Gehring explores Wise’s life from his days in the Hoosier State to the beginning of his movie career at RKO studios working as the editor of Orson Welles’s classic movie Citizen Kane. Wise is best known for producing and directing two of the most memorable movie musicals in cinema history, West Side Story (co-director Jerome Robbins) and The Sound of Music, for which he won four Academy Awards—two Best Picture and Best Directors Oscars. But, as Gehring notes, other than Howard Hawks, Wise was arguably Hollywood’s most versatile director of various celebrated genre films.

In Denton, Arkansas, the fate of the high school football team rests on the shoulders of Billy Lowe, a volatile but talented running back. Billy comes from an extremely troubled home: a trailer park where he is terrorized by his mother’s abusive boyfriend. Billy takes out his anger on the field, but when his savagery crosses a line, he faces suspension. Without Billy Lowe, the Denton Pirates can kiss their playoff bid goodbye. But the head coach, Trent Powers, who just moved from California with his wife and two children for this job, has more than just his paycheck riding on Billy’s bad behavior. As a born-again Christian, Trent feels a divine calling to save Billy—save him from his circumstances, and save his soul. Then Billy’s abuser is found murdered in the Lowe family trailer, and all evidence points toward Billy. Now nothing can stop an explosive chain of violence that could tear the whole town apart on the eve of the playoffs.

Download or read book 501 Writers Useful Phrases written by Quentin Cope and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-05-05 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So, what happens when you get to page 25 and you fall unexpectedly upon that one single sentence; one that simply does not look right; somehow inhibits the pace of a fast flowing chapter and fails to describe accurately how your character looked or felt? You may of course be one of those fortunate writers who can simply knock the words out, get them down on the page and after a morning of recording a score of 2,000, relax over a light lunch and a large glass of Chardonnay. However, you may be one of those poor unfortunates who strive over every sentence, knowing well what you want to write, but reluctantly unable to find the precise little phrase to exactly describe the moment. Competent writing often requires reference to a Dictionary or a Thesaurus. Good writers carry about with them a recording device of some sort, or that good old fashioned 'pen & paper' to record things they read, see and hear in everyday life. These 'Scribblings' are the sounds, the words and the sights of reality ... the 'real' things that people say to one another and the 'real' way they describe things they have seen and events they have witnessed to their friends and family. With a Dictionary, Thesaurus and Scribblings all being put to good use, the experienced writer will collect over time a 'Golden Book' ...or 'Golden Computer File' ... that contains the condensed results of all the searching and researching for that short, concise 'Golden' sentence. However you approach your writing projects; whether you find writing hard or easy, most of us will be prepared to admit we can do with all the help available. Of course, if you are one of the 'special ones' who simply need no help at all in your well established and highly profitable writing career, then please go no further. For the rest of us, this little gem contains 501 useful phrases and 'Scribblings' organized in such a way that any writer can quickly navigate to a phrase for use in a particular situation; or one that will remind them of another that will fit the bill nicely. This is not an answer to a 'writer's prayer', but it is a great second line reference book of phrases you can use every day in your writing journey. So, what does 501 Writers Useful Phrases contain? The book is divided in to ten sections and each one contains 50 short phrases, quotes, expressions or complete sentences to fit a particular subject heading. The last section contains 51 entries making a total of 501 for this edition.

Book Synopsis Soviet Culture and Power by : Katerina Clark
Download or read book Soviet Culture and Power written by Katerina Clark and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leaders of the Soviet Union, Stalin chief among them, well understood the power of art, and their response was to attempt to control and direct it in every way possible. This book examines Soviet cultural politics from the Revolution to Stalin’s death in 1953. Drawing on a wealth of newly released documents from the archives of the former Soviet Union, the book provides remarkable insight on relations between Gorky, Pasternak, Babel, Meyerhold, Shostakovich, Eisenstein, and many other intellectuals, and the Soviet leadership. Stalin’s role in directing these relations, and his literary judgments and personal biases, will astonish many. The documents presented in this volume reflect the progression of Party control in the arts. They include decisions of the Politburo, Stalin’s correspondence with individual intellectuals, his responses to particular plays, novels, and movie scripts, petitions to leaders from intellectuals, and secret police reports on intellectuals under surveillance. Introductions, explanatory materials, and a biographical index accompany the documents.

Download or read book Naamah written by Sarah Blake and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A dreamy and transgressive feminist retelling of the Great Flood from the perspective of Noah's wife as she wrestles with the mysterious metaphysics of womanhood at the end of the world." —O, The Oprah Magazine With the coming of the Great Flood—the mother of all disasters—only one family was spared, drifting on an endless sea, waiting for the waters to subside. We know the story of Noah, moved by divine vision to launch their escape. Now, in a work of astounding invention, acclaimed writer Sarah Blake reclaims the story of his wife, Naamah, the matriarch who kept them alive. Here is the woman torn between faith and fury, lending her strength to her sons and their wives, caring for an unruly menagerie of restless creatures, silently mourning the lover she left behind. Here is the woman escaping into the unreceded waters, where a seductive angel tempts her to join a strange and haunted world. Here is the woman tormented by dreams and questions of her own—questions of service and self-determination, of history and memory, of the kindness or cruelty of fate. In fresh and modern language, Blake revisits the story of the Ark that rescued life on earth, and rediscovers the agonizing burdens endured by the woman at the heart of the story. Naamah is a parable for our time: a provocative fable of body, spirit, and resilience.
