Download or read book The Adventures of the Black Girl in Her Search for God written by Bernard Shaw and published by Hesperus Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So controversial was Black Girl when it first appeared in 1932 that it provoked public outcry with Shaw decried as a blasphemer. Today, it remains a surprisingly irreverent depiction of the universal search for God. Dissatisfied with the teachings of respectable white missionaries, an African girl embarks upon her own quest for God and Truth. Journeying through the forest, she encounters various religious figures, each one seeking to convert her to their own brand of faith. This brilliantly sardonic allegory showcases some of Shaw's most unorthodox thoughts on religion and race. George Bernard Shaw (1856?1950) is best known for his dramatic works, of which Pygmalion is the most famous.

Download or read book The Adventures of God in His Search for the Black Girl written by Brigid Brophy and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'In the title story of [ The Adventures of God in His Search for the Black Girl] the main character, God himself, expresses a taste for writing that's sophisticated, stylish, literary. The words apply very well to [Brigid] Brophy's own best work.' New Republic 'What we have here is more common in England than America: reading that's at once very light and very intellectual. Consistent with her commitment to artifice and the rococo, Brophy believes in play... [She] is liveliest when speaking-or making the illustrious dead speak-of the life of art, of literature, music, architecture, which she thinks about a lot and knows a lot about.' Washington Post 'Tasty and nutritious... generally wise and witty... full of game-playing... Brigid Brophy remains a good though very British writer-balanced, erudite, sensible, unsubmissive to shrill sociological shibboleths, above all unscared.' Anthony Burgess , New York Times Book Review

Download or read book Shaw Offstage written by Fred D. Crawford and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The newest volume of SHAW emphasizes Shaw's mastery of nondramatic forms. In "My Dear Dorothea: Shaw's Earliest Sketch," Laura Tahir examines Shaw's first sustained literary effort, an instructional tract for the moral education of a young girl. Ray Bradbury introduces Shaw's "The Best Books for Children," a previously unpublished essay offering thoughts on children's literature. Stanley Weintraub evaluates Shaw's political ballads, published anonymously in the Star in 1588-89. Included in the volume are Shaw's contribution to The Salt of the Earth, a collaborative novel published in the World in 1890 introduced by Fred D. Crawford, and "Civilization and the Soldier," an essay reflecting on the nature of the British Empire in the context of the Boer War. Lee W. Saperstein introduces Shaw's previously unpublished "Orkney and Shetland," a short travel guide that Shaw wrote for the Royal Automobile Club. Shaw's nondramatic writing frequently illuminates the plays. Stuart E. Baker analyzes The Quintessence of Ibsenism to define Shavian realism as it applies to the plays, and Michael J. Holland explores Shaw's short fiction to trace the early development of techniques that served Shaw well in his drama. Howard Ira Einsohn looks at the relationship between The Intelligent Woman's Guide and The Apple Cart. Three articles examine Shaw's nondramatic concerns in a biographical and historical context. In "The Black Girl and Some Lesser Quests: 1932-1934," Leon H. Hugo traces the origin of The Black Girl. Vivian Ducat's "Bernard Shaw and the King's English" tells of Shaw's involvement with the BBC Advisory Committee on Spoken English. In "The Bernard Shaw/Edward Gordon Craig Feud," James Fisher explores Shaw and Craig's public and private relationship, which included disagreements involving dramatic theory and the publication of the Shawl Terry correspondence. SHAW 9 emphasizes Shaw's mastery of nondramatic forms and shows the extent to which, for Shaw, drama remained only one of many vehicles available for conveying the Shavian viewpoint.

Download or read book Edgar Rice Burroughs and Tarzan written by Robert W. Fenton and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like millions of other readers and moviegoers, as a youngster the late Robert W. Fenton loved swinging through the jungle with Tarzan. As an adult his interest was revived when he bought Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs' original office-estate in Tarzana, California, and began writing a biography of Burroughs. Originally titled The Big Swingers, it was the first full-scale, commercially published account of ERB's life and work. Here is Fenton's 1967 biography, back in print, as a wonderful source for a new generation of readers. Burroughs' early years were far from promising--he was dropped from school, was undistinguished as a cavalryman at Fort Grant, lost out in gold mining, and had little success as a salesman. He knew nothing about writing, but decided to try it anyway--and created Tarzan, one of the most famous characters of all time. A new foreword by George T. McWhorter and new photographs--there are 66 in all--are included.

Download or read book T E Ruth 1875 1956 written by Ken R. Manley and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-22 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: T. E. Ruth (1875–1956) was one of the most controversial Baptist ministers ever to serve in Australia. After a successful career in England as preacher, pastor, and writer, Ruth came to the significant Collins Street Baptist Church in Melbourne in 1914. During the tumultuous years of the World War, Ruth cared for the bereaved and bewildered people in his congregation and in the city. He also led public debates about conscription, engaging in intense platform clashes with his Catholic opponent, Archbishop Daniel Mannix. He later moved to the Pitt Street Congregational Church in Sydney where he was soon involved in public opposition to the Labor premier J. T. Lang as well as becoming a popular columnist in the secular press. To his critics he was a “sectarian bigot” and was mocked as “Ruthless Ruth”; to others, he was an ardent Empire loyalist, an admired and successful Protestant defender. Some critics accused him of being a Christian spiritualist and others have suggested that he formulated a theology for fascism. Ruth denounced millennial Adventism and hellfire eschatology as he affirmed universalism and a continuing spiritual development after death. This fascinating study of a progressive thinker, public theologian, and controversialist illuminates one of the more divisive and formative periods in Australian religious and political life.
