Book excerpt: Excerpt from Book of Words: The Pageant of Newark The stage beyond the narrow river lies dark, enveloped in thin veils of rising mist. A remote sound of Indian drums comes across the water, figures move mysteriously through the gloom, and a fire begins to blaze at the center. As the ames mount higher, the huts of an Indian Village appear and the figures are seen dancing in a swinging circle around the fire, their shadows ickering, enormous and distorted, upon the shifting mist. For a moment the dancing continues, then the fire sinks and a second light appears, this time over the lagoon - a lantern at the mast-head of a ship. As the ship crosses 'in the semi-darkness an English ag is seen at her peak and the hardy mariners of Cabot's crew tread her decks. A second ship, the ship of Verrazano, bearing the ag of France, passes in the opposite direction. Again the fire on the shore brightens. The Indians have ceased their dancing and a hunting party prepares to set out, when into their midst comes a runner warning them of approaching danger. He is followed immediately by the arrows of an attacking tribe. Shouting, the men of the village set themselves stubbornly to defend it. For a moment the picture is one of savage battle. The men of the village are driven back. From among the huts comes forward a group of frightened women, clinging together and bearing a white peace-belt. As they approach the fire a sudden fear seizes them and they scatter in ight. The attacking party shouts triumphantly and charges forward. Suddenly in place of the women appears a young chief alone, holding aloft a peace-belt. He is received scornfullyby the men of the tribes but the peace-belt is accepted. The women come forward and surround him, for thus it was that the old legend of the Peace Making of the Lenni Lenape was born. As the attacking tribe withdraws, the lights die down and the men of the returning tribe are dimly seen. Now a third ship appears, in likeness to the Half-moon, a Dutch ag at her bow, and from her side a small boat makes the landing. Men from this boat go ashore and the leader seems to speak to the Indians. A quarrel arises between them, and the Indians threaten. The white men retreat to their boat pursued by the red men. They fire their pistols as they row away and their leader falls, pierced by an arrow. The boat returns to the lee of the ship, which proceeds on its way. For a moment the fire ames up again and the dancing shadows mount against the mist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-10-28 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Daughters of America, or Women of the Century The centennial of American existence cannot properly be observed without a reference to its women, as well as to its men. Other pens may write eloquently of its patriots, its nventors, its warriors, its professional and literary and other men in public life, who have left their mark upon the century, and won the world's honors and the favor of the good and wise; but the writer of this unpretentious record will be abundantly satisfied if she may but so present the truth about American women as to prove before all Israel and the sun, that the nation is indebted for its growth and prosperity as a people, and for its proud position among the nations of the earth, to its women as well as to its men.

Download or read book Personal Narratives Peripheral Theatres Essays on the Great War 1914 18 written by Anthony Barker and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-14 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of essays on neglected aspects of the Great War. It begins by asking what exactly was so "Great" about it, before turning to individual studies of various aspects of the war. These fall broadly into two categories. Firstly personal, micro-narratives that deal directly with the experience of war, often derived from contemporary interest in diaries and oral histories. Presenting both a close-up view of the viscerality, and the tedium and powerlessness of personal situations, these same narratives also address the effects of the war on hitherto under-regarded groups such as children and animals. Secondly, the authors look at the impact of the course of the war on theatres, often left out in reflections on the main European combatants and therefore not part of the regular iconography of the trenches in places such as Denmark, Canada, India, the Levant, Greece and East Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Women Who Win: Or Making Things Happen No book, except the Bible, ever rolled such a wave of influence over the world as "Uncle Tom's Cabin." It was not fiction, though sometimes classed with it - it was stubborn fact. Fiction never did, and never will, move the foundations of society as that thrilling story of human wrongs did. Truth alone can so stir the world. Uncle Tom was a unique and real man - Josiah Henson - a "sort of patriarch in religious matters," among the slave population. He possessed more natural ability, having "greater breadth and cultivation of mind" than obtained among his companions, so that he was a minister among them. He had the gift of exhortation in a marked degree; educated people listened to his honest appeals with pleasure, because he was so quaint, original, and apt. "But it was in prayer that he especially excelled. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pageant of Cape Cod The chief musical motif of the Pageant, the motif of the Life Saver, sounds clear and strong from the full orchestra, -proclaiming the power that conserves all life. As this is still ringing over the waters, there follows in the orchestra the sound of the open sea surging over the world. From one side sweep forward a mass of Ocean Waves, young men and women clad in the colors Of the deep sea water, surging across the Open in successive tidal movements. Then there comes to meet them another mass of waves, the Waters Of the Bay, clad in the lighter colors of the more Shallow coastal waters. The two groups in tidal motion surge up toward each other. As they meet they toss their white scarves into the air like the Spray and the foam of Splashing waves. The tides recede and come together again and again with the surf Splash and the clash of the meeting waves in the dances and in the music.

Download or read book Women Artists of the Harlem Renaissance written by Amy Helene Kirschke and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women artists of the Harlem Renaissance dealt with issues that were unique to both their gender and their race. They experienced racial prejudice, which limited their ability to obtain training and to be taken seriously as working artists. They also encountered prevailing sexism, often an even more serious barrier. Including seventy-two black and white illustrations, this book chronicles the challenges of women artists, who are in some cases unknown to the general public, and places their achievements in the artistic and cultural context of early twentieth-century America. Contributors to this first book on the women artists of the Harlem Renaissance proclaim the legacy of Edmonia Lewis, Meta Vaux Warrick Fuller, Augusta Savage, Selma Burke, Elizabeth Prophet, Lois Maillou Jones, Elizabeth Catlett, and many other painters, sculptors, and printmakers. In a time of more rigid gender roles, women artists faced the added struggle of raising families and attempting to gain support and encouragement from their often-reluctant spouses in order to pursue their art. They also confronted the challenge of convincing their fellow male artists that they, too, should be seen as important contributors to the artistic innovation of the era.

Download or read book English Filming English Writing written by Jefferson Hunter and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-05 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jefferson Hunter examines English films and television dramas as they relate to English culture in the 20th century. He traces themes such as the influence of U.S. crime drama on English film, and film adaptations of literary works as they appear in screen work from the 1930s to the present. A Canterbury Tale and the documentary Listen to Britain are analyzed in the context of village pageants and other wartime explorations of Englishness at risk. English crime dramas are set against the writings of George Orwell, while a famous line from Noel Coward leads to a discussion of music and image in works like Brief Encounter and Look Back in Anger. Screen adaptation is also broached in analyses of the 1985 BBC version of Dickens's Bleak House and Merchant-Ivory's The Remains of the Day.
