Download or read book James B Pond Draft Memorandum of the Henry Morton Stanley Tour in 1890 1891 written by and published by . This book was released on 1890 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contains Pond's account of the lecture tour undertaken by Stanley in the United States after his return from the Emin Pasha expedition. Loaded with anecdotes as well as the financial details and full "goings-on" of the tour (conversations, disagreements, etc.), Pond's notebook describes in great depth the typical important late nineteenth century lecture tour and its organization. The notebook starts with Pond's recollection of how he met Stanley while touring in England in 1886 with Henry Ward Beecher. Mr. G. W. Appleton asked if Pond wanted Stanley to lecture in America. Stanley had done it before, but it was a failure, and Pond was a bit reluctant. Pond discussed the possibilities with Beecher, who responded "You get Stanley if you can. He is one of the greatest men in the world. I have been reading his Through the dark continent. It is a great book. He is doing great work for civilization and the reading world knows about him." Pond goes on to describe his first visit with Stanley, and when asked if he would consider doing another lecture tour in America, Stanley "replied by asking if people ever went to lectures in America." What a dismal failure that first tour must have been! Pond's persuasiveness and charm obviously won over Stanley, who quickly consented to the tour. The rest of the manuscript describes in detail the resulting tour. Stanley and Appleton were apparently eventually involved in a lawsuit over the lecture tour.

Book excerpt: Letter acceding to Pond's request for permission to publish portions of certain lectures by Stanley "with slight reservation." Speaks of being disappointed that Pond is not coming to London, and mentions his lecture to New York's "elite" in November 1890 and his introduction by Depew. He concludes: "Well, the long struggle between Boer and Briton is now rapidly coming to a close. Our success, though pretty thorough considering, is not of that kind that makes us boastful. Had a multitude of things been otherwise than as they were, or as they should have been, Kruger would long ere this have repented of his temerity in challenging England- but let us be grateful for the small mercy that in the end we see prospect for South Africa making amends for the past and becoming on the eve of the 20th Century, a land to regard with hope..."

Download or read book Yvain written by Chretien de Troyes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1987-09-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.
