Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Life and Literature Fifty Years Ago In publishing this monograph anonymously, I have no wish to seek concealment, but simply to let my statements rest on their own merits. Its publication has been urged by friends who sympathized with its sentiments, and in whose judgment I have confidence. I may say I have spoken of the living in no severer terms than they have applied to those who can no longer reply, but whose memory lives too vividly in my affections to suffer me to remain silent.

Download or read book Social Forces in Modern Literature Classic Reprint written by Philo M. Buck and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Forces in Modern Literature Perhaps the two most striking characteristics of the literature of the past one hundred fifty years are its ten dency to pass beyond bounds of nationality and its reso lute desire to face the insistent problems of our complex social life. Never in the world's history has literature been so nearly cosmopolitan or so frankly social. For this rea son the author of this book feels that it is not amiss to attempt to trace in the chapters that follow the gradual rise of the latter tendency in the literatures of France, Germany, and England; and at the same time to show the mutual literary interdependence of these leading coun tries of Europe. It would be absurd to claim that the writers discussed were those who first clearly expressed the problems, or even that in all cases the best and most typical authors have been selected. The selection in one or two cases may seem indeed a little arbitrary. But at all events each author has, in the history of European literature, been of tremendous significance. The writer of this volume makes no claim of originality in a field that has been gone over so often by the ablest critics. He has merely attempted to draw into a focus what else is fragmentary and scattered. He will be con tent if he succeeds in showing that many problems which seem the peculiar heritage of our age have long existed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifty Years of Catholic Life and Social Progress, Vol. 1: Under Cardinals Wiseman, Manning, Vaughan and Newman, With an Account of the Various Personages, Events and Movements During the Era The wonderful progress of the Catholic Church in England during the past fifty years might best be appreciated by some octogenarian long buried in the country, whose memory goes back to the time when the Church was, as it were, in the desert. One significant little incident might strike him when, on journeying to the extremity of the Brompton Road, he would find his omnibus halt, and the conductor call out, "The Oratory!" Entering the spacious, stately fane, he would note a crowd of admiring sightseers promenading round, gazing at its altars, statues, and choice marbles - much as the English are wont to do in the Madeleine at Paris.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Among the American Indians: Fifty Years on the Trial, a True Story of Western Life My object has been merely to give an unvarnished and circumstantial account of the existing events which have occurred to an individual whose position was no better than -that of a social outcast, a position he had sought of his own free will, not a position forced upon him by the violation of any of the laws of his country. In giving expression, or what may be better termed local colour, to most of the incidents enumerated, I have adopted, as far as possible, my subject's own phraseology. Any attempt of mine to convert it into pure English, and thus deprive it of its idiosyncrasy, would only have resulted in a dire failure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from France From Behind, the Veil: Fifty Years of Social and Political Life As is usual in such cases, the Imperialistic society fol lowed the lead given to it from above, and pleasure followed upon pleasure, festivity crowded upon festivity during these feverish months which preceded the F ranco-prussian War. In 1868 the clouds that had obscured the Imperial sky at the time of the ill-fated Mexican Expedition had passed away, and the splendours which attended the inauguration of the Suez Canal were already looming on the horizon. The political Situation as yet seemed untroubled indeed, though the Emperor sometimes appeared sad and anxious, no one among all those who surrounded him Shared the apprehensions which his keen political glance had already foreseen as inevitable. The Empress, too, appeared as if she wanted to make the most of her already disappearing youth, and to gather her roses whilst She still could do so, with all the buoyancy of her departed girlish days.

Book excerpt: ′Dr. Joel Cooper has been at the very forefront of research on dissonance theory for decades now. In this book, he provides a brilliant and engagingly-written review of the 50-year history of dissonance research and a masterful account of the ensuing developments in the theory. The book will be an outstanding resource for readers familiar with dissonance research and an enlightening introduction for those who are not′ - Professor Russell H. Fazio, Ohio State University Why is it that people who smoke continue to do so knowing how bad it is for them? What drives people to committing adultery even though they inherently believe this is wrong? What′s the outcome of this contradiction in the mind? Cognitive dissonance has been an important and influential theory since Leon Festinger published his classic work in 1957. It is known by every social psychologist, most psychologists of any stripe, and the lay public, making its way into such mainstream publications as The New York Times with increasing frequency and accuracy. Ultimately, dissonance has become one of the most popularly known expressions of social psychological insights, making its way into the literature in consumer, health and economic behavior, and has become a frequently used explanation of political behavior in the popular press and magazines. In marking the 50th anniversary of the theory′s inception, Joel Cooper - arguably the scholar most associated with dissonance research in the past few decades - has presented a beautiful, modern and comprehensive analysis of the state of dissonance theory. This book charts the progress of dissonance theory, assessing its impact not only within our understanding of psychology but in everyday experiences as well. It should be important reading for students in social psychology, either undergraduate or graduate, but equally relevant to a host of other readers who need to understand or share the same passions for appreciating the significance of cognitive dissonance in the human psyche.
