Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An animated account of the launching of Yale's Elizabethan Club, and the life of its founder and his intriguing wife A millionaire carpet manufacturer, noted philanthropist, and avid yachtsman, Alexander Smith Cochran, Yale Class of 1896, gathered a superb collection of original editions of plays and related works from the reign of Queen Elizabeth. In 1911, with the help of William Lyon Phelps, Cochran launched Yale's Elizabethan Club as a place to house his collection and offer a congenial environment for social and intellectual interaction between Yale undergraduates, graduates, and faculty concerned with literature and the arts. Cochran's creation "changed the tone and atmosphere of modern Yale" until the colleges arrived. Drawing on extensive sources, Walter Goffart surveys Cochran's life and many occupations, notably his founding of the "Lizzie." He also takes a close look at Cochran's intriguing wife of two years, Ganna Walska--the aspiring opera singer celebrated for developing the Lotusland gardens in Montecito, California. Distributed for the Elizabethan Club, Yale University

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Extraordinarily rich and awesomely learned.... The complexity of its subject matter is here mastered in an exemplary fashion. The study offers detailed, concrete, and perceptive assessments of individual writers within a lucid and carefully balanced design.... As a work of striking originality as well as formidable yet lively scholarship, ... Green's book will become a central, even classic, text for students of Renaissance poetry and of a cardinal topos in the history of criticism and hermeneutics." -From the citation for the award of the Harry Levin Prize of the American Comparative Literature Association, 1982 "An outstanding example of learning fully commanded and applied with uncommon perception, a lively sense of historical continuity, and, not least important, productive familiarity with modern literary theory. In its breadth of knowledge, the interplay of literary history and theory, the maturity of its judgments and the urbanity of its style, Professor Greene's study is a most distinguished achievement of American scholarship." -From the citation for the award of the Annual James Russell Lowell Prize, given by the Modern Language Association of America, 1983

Download or read book Writing Communities written by Stephen Parks and published by Bedford/St. Martin's. This book was released on 2016-12-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing Communities is an exciting new text and reader that connects students to neighborhoods and writing courses to communities. Part One introduces students to academic reading and writing skills and prompts them to examine how their communities influence their writing. Part Two then shows students how their academic reading and writing skills can serve as a bridge into working—and producing writing—with the community. The text promotes involvement in and advocacy of social issues such as education, housing, and cultural justice, and assignments provide students with opportunities to put concepts into practice, such as setting up community writing groups, hosting events, and producing publications. A rich variety of readings ranging from personal narratives and poetry to essays and educational scholarship help show students the myriad ways in which writing makes things happen in the world. The skills students learn from Writing Communities will prepare them for any collaborative work they may take on—in any community they may be a part of—in college and beyond.

Download or read book Elihu Yale written by Benjamin Zucker and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2014-06-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Original research sheds light on the fascinating biography of one of Yale University’s early supporters Elihu Yale's name is famous for the great educational institution, Yale University, of which he was an early benefactor. He made his fortune in India, mostly through trading in diamonds. Arriving in Madras in 1672, through his outstanding abilities he rose through the hierarchy of the East India Company settlement from clerk to governor. When he returned to London in 1699 he brought with him Indian gems, furniture, and textiles, and proceeded to amass a collection of some ten thousand items, dispersed at seven auction sales after his death in 1721. The catalogs of these sales survive, providing information about the lively London art market. Hitherto neglected by historians, the Yale sales prove to be a landmark in the history both of collecting and of auctioning art in early 18th-century England. The authors explore Elihu Yale’s life and interests, and then turn to a study of Yale as a dealer (particularly of gems) and a collector of diamonds and jewelry, works of art, furniture, books, and other objects—some of which are now at Yale University, and some in national collections around Britain.
