Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commonwealth of Letters examines midcentury literary institutions integral to modernism and postcolonial writing. Several organizations central to interwar modernism, such as the BBC, influential publishers, and university English departments, became important sites in the emergence of postcolonial literature after the war. How did some of modernism's leading figures of the 1930s-such as T.S. Eliot, Louis MacNeice, and Stephen Spender-come to admire late colonial and early postcolonial literature in the 1950s? Similarly, why did late colonial and early postcolonial writers-including Chinua Achebe, Kamau Brathwaite, Claude McKay, and Ngugi wa Thiong'o-actively seek alliances with metropolitan intellectuals? Peter Kalliney's original and extensive archival work on modernist cultural institutions demonstrates that this disparate group of intellectuals had strong professional incentives to treat one another more as fellow literary professionals, and less as political or cultural antagonists. Surprisingly, metropolitan intellectuals and their late colonial counterparts leaned heavily on modernist theories of aesthetic autonomy to facilitate their collaborative ventures. For white, metropolitan writers, T.S. Eliot's notion of impersonality could help recruit new audiences and conspirators from colonized regions of the world. For black, colonial writers, aesthetic autonomy could be used to imagine a literary sphere uniquely resistant to the forms of racial prejudice endemic to the colonial system. This strategic collaboration did not last forever, but as Commonwealth of Letters shows, it left a lasting imprint on the ultimate disposition of modernism and the evolution of postcolonial literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bold new interpretation of Augustine’s virtue of hope and its place in political life When it comes to politics, Augustine of Hippo is renowned as one of history’s great pessimists, with his sights set firmly on the heavenly city rather than the public square. Many have enlisted him to chasten political hopes, highlighting the realities of evil and encouraging citizens instead to cast their hopes on heaven. A Commonwealth of Hope challenges prevailing interpretations of Augustinian pessimism, offering a new vision of his political thought that can also help today’s citizens sustain hope in the face of despair. Amid rising inequality, injustice, and political division, many citizens wonder what to hope for in politics and whether it is possible to forge common hopes in a deeply polarized society. Michael Lamb takes up this challenge, offering the first in-depth analysis of Augustine’s virtue of hope and its profound implications for political life. He draws on a wide range of Augustine’s writings—including neglected sermons, letters, and treatises—and integrates insights from political theory, religious studies, theology, and philosophy. Lamb shows how diverse citizens, both religious and secular, can unite around common hopes for the commonwealth. Recovering this understudied virtue and situating Augustine within his political, rhetorical, and religious contexts, A Commonwealth of Hope reveals how Augustine’s virtue of hope can help us resist the politics of presumption and despair and confront the challenges of our time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters, Addressed to the People of Pennsylvania: Respecting the Internal Improvement of the Commonwealth; By Means of Roads and Canals Although I could not but be gratified, by the opinion, with several intelligent individuals expressed to me, that the letters, signed "Franklin," which I communicated for insertion in the "Aurora," might produce some public advantage, if circulated in a pamphlet; yet I could not persuade myself, to procure such a publication, because I did not consider the merit of the letters to be such, as to secure a sale, to the amount even of the mere expense of printing. A number of public spirited persons, however, having defrayed the expense of an edition chiefly for gratuitous circulation, I have cheerfully aided, in revising the succeeding pages, from the same motive, which induced me to write them - the desire to be useful. It is very probable, that I never should have written a page on such a subject, if I had not acted as chairman, of the committee on roads and internal navigation, during the session, of the legislature, of 1809-10: that situation made it my duty to seek for information, and also enabled me to ascertain some of the causes of the backwardness of Pennsylvania, in undertaking Works for internal improvements. Having some leisure, I communicated the result of my inquiries in the succeeding letters; for the imperfections of which, I can offer no other apologies, than, that the subject was altogether new to me, a few months before I began to write, and that the means of information, at the command of any individual whatever, are much more limited than is generally supposed.
