Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twenty-five years since Vatican II, the Church has undergone a classic revolution, like those that transform the structures of secular societies. Just as we can speak of a "post-Christian era" in the West, so we have a "post-Catholic era" in the Church. The undermining of the Catholic principle of authority has reduced religion to mere sentiment. The devastating effects of the revolution are evinced in the seminaries, the liturgy, in the bishops' committees, and in the controversies over such issues as celibacy, birth control, and the Church's political shift to the left. The Catholic Church has self-destructed. This book is an eloquent, carefully reasoned reflection on the ruin of the once-universal Church. [Book jacket].

Download or read book Complete Poems written by Claude McKay and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2004-01-29 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing more than three hundred poems, including nearly a hundred previously unpublished works, this unique collection showcases the intellectual range of Claude McKay (1889-1948), the Jamaican-born poet and novelist whose life and work were marked by restless travel and steadfast social protest. McKay's first poems were composed in rural Jamaican creole and launched his lifelong commitment to representing everyday black culture from the bottom up. Migrating to New York, he reinvigorated the English sonnet and helped spark the Harlem Renaissance with poems such as "If We Must Die." After coming under scrutiny for his communism, he traveled throughout Europe and North Africa for twelve years and returned to Harlem in 1934, having denounced Stalin's Soviet Union. By then, McKay's pristine "violent sonnets" were giving way to confessional lyrics informed by his newfound Catholicism. McKay's verse eludes easy definition, yet this complete anthology, vividly introduced and carefully annotated by William J. Maxwell, acquaints readers with the full transnational evolution of a major voice in twentieth-century poetry.

Download or read book The Shadowed Country written by Josh Gosciak and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-31 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important voices of the Harlem Renaissance, Claude McKay is largely recognized for his work during the 1920s, which includes a major collection of poems, Harlem Shadows, as well as a critically acclaimed novel, Home to Harlem. But McKay was never completely comfortable with his literary reputation during this period. Throughout his world travels, he saw himself as an English lyricist. In this compelling examination of the life and works of this complex poet, novelist, journalist, and short story writer, Josh Gosciak sheds light on McKay’s literary contributions beyond his interactions with Harlem Renaissance artists and writers. Working within English literary traditions, McKay crafted a verse out of hybridity and diaspora. Gosciak shows how he reinvigorated a modern pastoral through his encounters with some of the major aesthetic and political movements of the late Victorian and early modern periods. Exploring new archival material as well as many of McKay’s lesser known poetic works, The Shadowed Country provides a unique interpretation of the writings of this major author.

Download or read book Mabel Daniels: An American Composer in Transition written by Maryann McCabe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mabel Daniels (1877–1971): An American Composer in Transition assesses Daniels within the context of American music of the first half of the twentieth century. Daniels wrote fresh sounding works that were performed by renowned orchestras and ensembles during her lifetime but her works have only recently begun to be performed again. The book explains why works by Daniels and other women composers fell out of favor and argues for their performance today. This study of Daniels’s life and works evinces transition in women’s roles in composition, the professionalization of women composers, and the role that Daniels played in the institutionalization of American art music. Daniels’s dual role as a patron-composer is unique and expressive of her transitional status.
