Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contemporary American Biography, Vol. 1 Theissue raised before the country is not one of mere sentiment for the rights of the negro; though far distant be the day when the rights of any American citizen, however black or how ever poor, shall form the' mere dust in the balance of any controversy. The issue has taken a far wider range, one of portentous magnitude; and that is, whether the white voter of the North shall be equal to the white voter of the South, in shaping the policy and fixing the destiny of this country; or whether, to put it still more boldly, the white man who fought in the ranks of the Union army shall have as weighty and influential a vote in the government of the Repub lic as the white man who fought in the ranks of the rebel army.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prominent and Progressive Americans, Vol. 1: An Encyclopaedia of Contemporaneous Biography Frederick Thompson Adams, who, besides being a highly successful financier, is one of the most enthusiastic and skilful yachtsmen, comes from families of bankers. His maternal grandfather was a banker who, with his two sons, Frederick T. and Samuel C. Thompson, founded the First National Bank and subsequently also the Chase National Bank of New York. His father went to California among the "forty-niners," but a few years later came back to Chicago and engaged in the banking business, which he conducted with great success until 1866, when, having amassed a fortune, he retired and went to live at his old family home at Coxsackie, New York. The subject of this sketch is the son of Francis G. Adams and Eudora L. (Thompson) Adams, and was born to them in Chicago in April, 1854. He received a good education, but was from early boyhood so strongly attracted to the sea that instead of going into business he sailed, at the age of nineteen years, on the clipper ship St. Charles for a voyage around the Horn. Arriving at San Francisco, he sailed again on various ships on the Pacific, and then, coming back to New York, passed an examination as midshipinan in the service of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. He was assigned to duty on the City of Peking, just built, and went on her from New York to San Francisco by way of the Strait of Magellan. This voyage was a memorable one, since the ship lost two blades of her propeller on the way, and had to make the latter part of the run in a crippled condition, thus being at sea from September, 1874, to February, 1875.

Download or read book Post Orientalism and Contemporary American Novels written by Mousa Abu Haserah and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-08-09 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a scientific and academic contribution to the scholarly exploration of the complex relationship between the East and the West in American literature. The study focuses on four novels (Mornings in Jenin, Falling Man, The Reluctant Fundamentalist, and Riyah Al-Janna (The Wind of Paradise)) to discuss how the literature reflects on Middle Eastern themes in relation to the situations and conditions of the New East. It treats the Orient as a moving body and takes Edward Said’s Orientalism into account, also showing Post-Orientalism or the New East as a literary phenomenon in the 21st century, specializing in politics, militarism, and post-colonial ideology. The book explains and divides the Middle East into two parts: the Arab-Islamic Middle East and the non-Arab-Islamic Middle East. It highlights the similarities and differences between these two parts as depicted in various novels, presenting the East as a land of desolation and destruction due to the political, regional, and religious changes that have shaken it.

Download or read book The Publishing History of Uncle Tom s Cabin 1852 2002 written by Claire Parfait and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncle Tom's Cabin continues to provoke impassioned discussions among scholars; to serve as the inspiration for theater, film, and dance; and to be the locus of much heated debate surrounding race relations in the United States. It is also one of the most remarkable print-based texts in U.S. publishing history. And yet, until now, no book-length study has traced the tumultuous publishing history of this most famous of antislavery novels. Among the major issues Claire Parfait addresses in her detailed account are the conditions of female authorship, the structures of copyright, author-publisher relations, agency, and literary economics. To follow the trail of the book over 150 years is to track the course of American culture, and to read the various editions is to gain insight into the most basic structures, formations, and formulations of literary culture during the period. Parfait interrelates the cultural status of this still controversial novel with its publishing history, and thus also chronicles the changing mood and mores of the nation during the past century and a half. Scholars of Stowe, of American literature and culture, and of publishing history will find this impressive and compelling work invaluable.
