Book Synopsis The Farmer's Boy by : Robin Armstrong Brown
Download or read book The Farmer's Boy written by Robin Armstrong Brown and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the memoir of a child growing up in England at war. Life on a small farm in Sussex was full of the beauties of the countryside; though it was peopled not only with all the rural characters - farmers and labourers, stockmen and squires, but also with poachers and poisoners, bobbies, blacksmiths, charcoal burners, pedlars, and maybe arsonists too. In the background, this was a countryside peopled with soldiers from many parts, tanks, Bren gun carriers, military convoys, and aria-singing prisoners. Overhead the Spitfires and the Hurricanes of the RAF battled with the Luftwaffe, and Typhoons practised the dangerous art of nudging Flying Bombs back towards the Channel. Life at a tough sports-mad public school on the coast was more to be endured than enjoyed. But a menace threatened from an unexpected quarter, which should have existed for our protection. It slowly became clear that our farm was fighting against the threat of intentional ruin.

Book Synopsis The Farmer’s Boy by Robert Bloomfield by : Peter Cochran
Download or read book The Farmer’s Boy by Robert Bloomfield written by Peter Cochran and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Bloomfield’s The Farmer’s Boy was the most successful poem of the “Romantic” period, selling 100,000 copies between 1800 and 1830. However, what was marketed was not the poem which the working-class Bloomfield had written, but a highly polished, politely spelled and punctuated re-write, prepared by the local squire, who deliberately covered up the fact that Bloomfield had written originally for a Suffolk voice, with Suffolk vowel-sounds and Suffolk idioms. This edition prints Bloomfield’s first manuscript, and then has a parallel text of the “polished” first edition, opposite Bloomfield’s second manuscript, made for his own use and for that of his family, in which he changes the poem back to the form in which he wrote, heard, and read it. Thus Bloomfield’s intentions appear for the first time, edited in detail from the original manuscripts at Harvard. Also included are the two eighteenth-century poems The Thresher’s Labour by Stephen Duck, and The Woman’s Labour by Mary Collier.
Book Synopsis Jenkins of Mexico by : Andrew Paxman
Download or read book Jenkins of Mexico written by Andrew Paxman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-03 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the city of Puebla there lived an American who made himself into the richest man in Mexico. Driven by a steely desire to prove himself-first to his wife's family, then to Mexican elites-William O. Jenkins rose from humble origins in Tennessee to build a business empire in a country energized by industrialization and revolutionary change. In Jenkins of Mexico, Andrew Paxman presents the first biography of this larger-than-life personality. When the decade-long Mexican Revolution broke out in 1910, Jenkins preyed on patrician property owners and bought up substantial real estate. He suffered a scare with a firing squad and then a kidnapping by rebels, an episode that almost triggered a US invasion. After the war he owned textile mills, developed Mexico's most productive sugar plantation, and helped finance the rise of a major political family, the Ávila Camachos. During the Golden Age of Mexican cinema in the 1940s-50s, he lorded over the film industry with his movie theater monopoly and key role in production. By means of Mexico's first major hostile takeover, he bought the country's second-largest bank. Reputed as an exploiter of workers, a puppet-master of politicians, and Mexico's wealthiest industrialist, Jenkins was the gringo that Mexicans loved to loathe. After his wife's death, he embraced philanthropy and willed his entire fortune to a foundation named for her, which co-founded two prestigious universities and funded projects to improve the lives of the poor in his adopted country. Using interviews with Jenkins' descendants, family papers, and archives in Puebla, Mexico City, Los Angeles, and Washington, Jenkins of Mexico tells a contradictory tale of entrepreneurship and monopoly, fearless individualism and cozy deals with power-brokers, embrace of US-style capitalism and political anti-Americanism, and Mexico's transformation from semi-feudal society to emerging economic power.
Book Synopsis Selected Poems by : Robert Bloomfield
Download or read book Selected Poems written by Robert Bloomfield and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite his literary successes-- publishing six volumes of poetry, a play, and a children's book-- Robert Bloomfield never escaped from poverty or anxiety and died early and in distress. This penniless history supports the description of Bloomfield as the most successful of the self-taught "peasant poets" of the Romantic period and underscores the incredible odds that any of his writings should be discovered at all. This selection of Bloomfield's poems was originally published in 1998 and was the first scholarly edition of his work. Bloomfield believed that his patron, Capel Lofft, had altered the text excessively, and so this edition has completely restored Bloomfield's own, much fresher text from the autobiographical manuscript at Harvard University. Revised and enlarged, this version also includes a selection of Bloomfield's prose prefaces and explanatory notes, a chronology of his life, and a list of further reading.

Download or read book Beyond the Farm written by J. M. Opal and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-04-19 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first half-century of American independence, a fundamental change in the meaning and morality of ambition emerged in American culture. Long stigmatized as a dangerous passion that led people to pursue fame at the expense of duty, ambition also raised concerns among American Revolutionaries who espoused self-sacrifice. After the ratification of the U.S. Constitution and the creation of the federal republic in 1789, however, a new ethos of nation-making took hold in which ambition, properly cultivated, could rescue talent and virtue from the parochial needs of the family farm. Rather than an apology for an emerging market culture of material desire and commercial dealing, ambition became a civic project—a concerted reply to the localism of provincial life. By thus attaching itself to the national self-image during the early years of the Republic, before the wrenching upheavals of the Industrial Revolution, ambitious striving achieved a cultural dominance that future generations took for granted. Beyond the Farm not only describes this transformation as a national effort but also explores it as a personal journey. Centered on the lives of six aspiring men from the New England countryside, the book follows them from youthful days full of hope and unrest to eventual careers marked by surprising success and crushing failure. Along the way, J. M. Opal recovers such intimate dramas as a young man's abandonment by his self-made parents, a village printer's dreams of small-town fame, and a headstrong boy's efforts to both surpass and honor his family. By relating the vast abstractions of nation and ambition to the everyday milieus of home, work, and school, Beyond the Farm reconsiders the roots of American individualism in vivid detail and moral complexity.
