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: 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.

Download or read book Silverlock written by John Myers Myers and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2017-03-25 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SILVERLOCK is one of the all-time great fantasy classics. In this richly picaresque story of a modern man's fruitful adventurings in legendary realms of gold, John Myers Myers has presented a glowing tapestry of real excitement and meaning. In essence, this is the tale of Silverlock's wanderings in the Commonwealth, the land of immortal heroes real and imagined, in search of his true destiny. In form, it is sheer headlong narrative, with occasional clangorous verses woven into its fabric. In content, it is something between a many-peopled, incident-studded story of high emprise, and a morality for our time. Always it is fresh and bold in concept, superb in its execution ... How A. Clarence Shandon came to the Commonwealth, exchanging his everyday name and Chicago-bound life for that of a traveler beyond time; what great ones of old legend and modern story he encountered, and to what purpose; what loves he knew and what fights he fought; what trials befell him in the Pit, and what truth he discovered when at last he won to the Hippocrene Spring--these are matters of such crowding variety and implicit significance as the reader must discover for himself ... And in the discovering, the literate reader will have a wonderful time. He will be amused by the wicked wit that illumines the vast panorama, and intrigued by the challenge it offers his own learning. Most of all, he will be impressed by its profound knowledge, of our cultural heritage, and stirred by its vital interpretations

Book Synopsis The Palace Letters by : Professor Jenny Hocking
Download or read book The Palace Letters written by Professor Jenny Hocking and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What role did the queen play in the governor-general Sir John Kerr's plans to dismiss prime minister Gough Whitlam in 1975, which unleashed one of the most divisive episodes in Australia's political history? And why weren't we told? Under the cover of being designated as private correspondence, the letters between the queen and the governor-general about the dismissal have been locked away for decades in the National Archives of Australia, and embargoed by the queen potentially forever. This ruse has furthered the fiction that the queen and the Palace had no warning of or role in Kerr's actions. In the face of this, Professor Jenny Hocking embarked on a four-year legal battle to force the Archives to release the letters. In 2015, she mounted a crowd-funded campaign, securing a stellar pro bono team that took her case all the way to the High Court of Australia. Now, drawing on never-before-published material from Kerr's archives and her submissions to the court, Hocking traces the collusion and deception behind the dismissal, and charts the private role of High Court judges, the queen's private secretary, and the leader of the opposition, Malcolm Fraser, in Kerr's actions, and the prior knowledge of the queen and Prince Charles. Hocking also reveals the obstruction, intrigue, and duplicity she faced, raising disturbing questions about the role of the National Archives in preventing access to its own historical material and in enforcing royal secrecy over its documents.
