Download or read book The Collected Works of H L Mencken written by George Jean Nathan and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-20 with total page 977 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Collected Works of H. L. Mencken, coalesced under the meticulous eye of George Jean Nathan, represents a seminal anthology in American literary criticism and social commentary. The collection spans a wide array of themes, from biting satirical critiques of American culture and politics to keen observations on the human condition, all articulated through Menckens famously acerbic wit and Nathans discerning editorial oversight. The diversity in literary stylesranging from essays and prefaces to reviewsserves not only as a testament to Mencken's versatility but also underscores the enduring relevance of his insights into early 20th-century American society. The editors and contributors, Mencken himself and Nathan, stand as colossal figures in American literature and journalism, each bringing a unique but harmoniously aligned perspective to the anthology. Their backgrounds, deeply rooted in the rich soil of the American cultural and literary landscape of the early twentieth century, illuminate the historical and cultural underpinnings of the period. This collection, therefore, acts not only as a repository of Menckens critical legacy but also as a reflection of the broader literary movements and cultural shifts of the era. This anthology is recommended for readers who seek to immerse themselves in the depth and diversity of early 20th-century American thought. Through The Collected Works of H. L. Mencken, one gains unparalleled access to a spectrum of intellectual discourse, encapsulating the spirit of an era defined by its bold criticisms and equally compelling visions for the future. It is an essential read for those who wish to explore the multifaceted insights and the dynamic interplay between Menckens incisive prose and Nathans editorial acumen.
Download or read book Britain and Japan Biographical Portraits Vol VI written by and published by Global Oriental. This book was released on 2007-05-31 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no doubt that this sixth volume in the Japan Society’s highly regarded Britain and Japan series contains many ‘long overdue’ essays of leading personalities with links to Britain and Japan that will be welcomed by the researcher and general reader alike – from the opening essay on Churchill and Japan by Eiji Seki, to the concluding account by Rikki Kersten of the distinguished intellectual liberal Maruyama Masao’s close relationship with Richard Storry and Oxford in particular and his interests in Britain in general. Containing a total of thirty-three entries, thoughtfully and painstakingly compiled and edited by Hugh Cortazzi, there may well be a case for arguing that the best has been kept until last. Indeed, by way of an ‘Envoi’ the book concludes with an account of the Beatles visit to Tokyo in 1965, including a facsimile report for H.M. Government by the British Embassy’s then first secretary, Dudley Cheke. Also of special interest are Hugh Cortazzi’s portraits of Morita Akio and Honda Shoichiro , as well as John Hatcher’s fascinating record of Ian Fleming’s 1959 five-week visit to Japan on behalf of the Sunday Times. The volume is divided up thematically and includes an Index of Biographical Portraits published to date by the Japan Society, and by way of appendix, a highly significant report by Robin Mountfield on the Nissan Negotiations of 1980-84, which resulted in the biggest foreign investment in car manufacturing in Britain.

Download or read book A History of the University of Cambridge Volume 4 1870 1990 written by Christopher Brooke and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the fourth volume of A History of the University of Cambridge and explores the extraordinary growth in size and academic stature of the University between 1870 and 1990. Though the University has made great advances since the 1870s, when it was viewed as a provincial seminary, it is also the home of tradition: a federation of colleges, one over 700 years old, one of the 1970s. This book seeks to penetrate the nature of the colleges and of the federation; and to show the way in which university faculties and departments have come to vie with the colleges for this predominant role. It attempts to unravel a fascinating institutional story of the society of the University and its place in the world. It explores in depth the themes of religion and learning, and of the entry of women into a once male environment. There are portraits of seminal and characteristic figures of the Cambridge scene, and there is a sketch - inevitably selective but wide-ranging - of many disciplines, an extensive study in intellectual and academic history.
Download or read book How Words Make Things Happen written by David Bromwich and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sooner or later, our words take on meanings other than we intended. How Words Make Things Happen suggests that the conventional idea of persuasive rhetoric (which assumes a speaker's control of calculated effects) and the modern idea of literary autonomy (which assumes that 'poetry makes nothing happen') together have produced a misleading account of the relations between words and human action. Words do make things happen. But they cannot be counted on to produce the result they intend. This volume studies examples from a range of speakers and writers and offers close readings of their words. Chapter 1 considers the theory of speech-acts propounded by J.L. Austin. 'Speakers Who Convince Themselves' is the subject of chapter 2, which interprets two soliloquies by Shakespeare's characters and two by Milton's Satan. The oratory of Burke and Lincoln come in for extended treatment in chapter 3, while chapter 4 looks at the rival tendencies of moral suasion and aestheticism in the poetry of Yeats and Auden. The final chapter, a cause of controversy when first published in the London Review of Books, supports a policy of unrestricted free speech against contemporary proposals of censorship. Since we cannot know what our own words are going to do, we have no standing to justify the banishment of one set of words in favour of another.
