Download or read book Shaping Letters Shaping Communities Multilingualism and Linguistic Practice in the Late Antique Near East and Egypt written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume explores linguistic practices and choices in the late antique Eastern Mediterranean. It investigates how linguistic diversity and change influenced the social dimension of human interaction, affected group dynamics, the expression and negotiation of various communal identities, such as professional groups of mosaic-makers, stonecutters, or their supervisors in North Syria, bilingual monastic communities in Palestine, elusive producers of Coptic ritual texts in Egypt, or Jewish communities in Dura Europos and Palmyra. The key question is: what do we learn about social groups and human individuals by studying their multilingualism and language practices reflected in epigraphic and other written sources?

Download or read book Letters Of Sylvia Townsend Warner written by S Warner and published by Random House. This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Very early in her career Sylvia Townsend Warner won recognition of a discerning group of writers and readers on both sides of rare imagination and originality increased with each new publication. In addition to publishing some twenty books she wrote thousands of letters, mainly to close friends and acquaintances, and these quite naturally provide a record of almost fifty years of the writer’s life. As the editor of the selection says, she had a connoisseur’s eye for the bogus and a hatred for assumptions of privilege – her heart was with the hunted, always, and her deep understanding of human behaviour makes the whole a remarkably compassionate volume. Her interests are wide-ranging, and we read of the pleasures of travel, Proust’s shortcomings as a literary critic, current politics, Rupert Brooke at the Café Royal, an eccentric moorhen, the Spanish Civil War. Above all, apart from their intrinsic interest and literary quality, Miss Warner’s letters reveal the special brand of wit and humour that pervades every word she writes.

Download or read book Master Why written by George Booth and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-03-06 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Reverend G.K. Booth, 1912-2000Sheltering behind a dramatic alter ego, with mock locations and a cast of barely disguised real-life characters, the author gives a candid portrayal of his own strutting, fretting hour on life's stage. Lonely child, Oxford scholar, war-time deacon, public school housemaster and college lecturer were the conventional roles he played but jealous passion and unorthodox behind-the-scenes goings-on enliven his inimitable relationships and provoke ruthless self-examination. Telegrammatic prose, infuriating conceit, unbowdlerised sex and radical faith characterise this unusual work, but, ultimately, what holds the scenes together is his determination to make sense of the whole cosmic production and, in particular, his own earthly parts in it.

Download or read book Rugbeians in the Great War written by Daniel J McLean and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2020-02-08 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few schools can claim to have had such a deep and diverse effect on British history as Rugby. Its influence on the sporting field is well-known, but this book examines the roles played by Rugbeians in many different spheres during the Great War. Politicians and academics, Olympians and artists all left their ordinary lives to fight for their country and it was their school which bound them together. Some such as Ernest Swinton, inventor of the tank, and Maurice Hankey, Cabinet Secretary, had direct influence on the shaping of the conflict, whereas others such as Duncan Mackinnon (Olympic gold medal-winning rower) and the Cawley brothers (both Members of Parliament) are remembered primarily for their pre-war achievements. Until now there has never been a volume which traces the extent of Rugby’s influence, but this book showcases the extraordinary range of individuals from the school who left their mark on the war and the world at large.
