Download or read book Renaissance Hybrids written by Gary A. Schmidt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first book-length study explicitly to connect the postcolonial trope of hybridity to Renaissance literature, Gary Schmidt examines how sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English authors, artists, explorers and statesmen exercised a concerted effort to frame questions of cultural and artistic heterogeneity. This book is unique in its exploration of how 'hybrid' literary genres emerge at particular historical moments as vehicles for negotiating other kinds of hybridity, including but not limited to cultural and political hybridity. In particular, Schmidt addresses three distinct manifestations of 'hybridity' in English literature and iconography during this period. The first category comprises literal hybrid creatures such as satyrs, centaurs, giants, and changelings; the second is cultural hybrids reflecting the mixed status of the nation; and the third is generic hybrids such as the Shakespearean 'problem play,' the volatile verse satires of Nashe, Hall and Marston, and the tragicomedies of Beaumont and Fletcher. In Renaissance Hybrids, Schmidt demonstrates 'postmodern' considerations not to be unique to our own critical milieu. Rather, they can fruitfully elucidate cultural and literary developments in the English Renaissance, forging a valuable link in the history of ideas and practices, and revealing a new dimension in the relation of early modern studies to the concerns of the present.

He’s moved to San Francisco to seek a cure for an ailment he can’t reveal to anybody, least of all to Vanessa, whom he’s inexplicably drawn to even though he believes her to be a high-class escort. While Vanessa has to hide from Cole that she’s a vampire, yet wants him to get close to her, things get more complicated when it becomes clear that somebody in San Francisco is turning unstable young men into vampires and lets them loose on the unsuspecting public. Scanguards has their hands full to protect the city, while trying to capture the rogue vampire and uncover his motives. Can Vanessa risk Cole finding out what she really is, so she can protect him from becoming the next victim of the rogue, or will he recoil from her and forsake the love that has started to grow in his heart?

Download or read book alpha to omega from the beginning to the end written by Dr C E Fabray and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-04-08 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is ambitious in its scope and in the course of over 400 pages, it begins with the creation of the Universe and ends when all time and space ends in a singularity. Read the book to find out why the Universe was created and what happens to man after death. Are the atheists right and there is nothing but extinction or is there a better hope and an eternal future. Was Adam and Eve ejected from the Garden of Eden because they ate the wrong piece of fruit? Why was it necessary to kill all living people and creatures with a worldwide Flood bar one family? Did God really tell the Israel nation to kill all the men, women and children in Canaan? How can Jesus Christ be God incarnate who is eternal when he dies on the cross? How can all Christians go to heaven? What happens after the Kingdom of God is established in the New Heaven and New Earth? The spiritual messages contained in this book answer all these questions and much more, with full notes and references for each section of the book.
Download or read book The Florentine Codex written by Jeanette Favrot Peterson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honorable Mention, 2021 LASA Mexico Humanities Book Prize, Latin American Studies Association, Mexico Section In the sixteenth century, the Franciscan friar Bernardino de Sahagún and a team of indigenous grammarians, scribes, and painters completed decades of work on an extraordinary encyclopedic project titled General History of the Things of New Spain, known as the Florentine Codex (1575–1577). Now housed in the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in Florence and bound in three lavishly illustrated volumes, the codex is a remarkable product of cultural exchange in the early Americas. In this edited volume, experts from multiple disciplines analyze the manuscript’s bilingual texts and more than 2,000 painted images and offer fascinating, new insights on its twelve books. The contributors examine the “three texts” of the codex—the original Nahuatl, its translation into Spanish, and its painted images. Together, these constitute complementary, as well as conflicting, voices of an extended dialogue that occurred in and around Mexico City. The volume chapters address a range of subjects, from Nahua sacred beliefs, moral discourse, and natural history to the Florentine artists’ models and the manuscript’s reception in Europe. The Florentine Codex ultimately yields new perspectives on the Nahua world several decades after the fall of the Aztec empire.

Melvin Konner's sensitive and straightforward discussion ranges across topics such as the roots of aggression, the basis of attachment and desire, the differences between the sexes, and the foundations of mental illness.

Download or read book And written by Michael Blumenthal and published by BOA Editions, Ltd.. This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through Michael Blumenthal’s eyes we gain a renewed, childlike wonder at everything from plants, trees, and relationships to the most fundamental word in our vocabulary: AND. Blumenthal uses the conjunction to unify this collection and create a chanting, sonorous rhythm to his work. The result is a book of poems-as-hymns-and-praises. Michael Blumenthal holds the Mina Hohenberg Darden Endowed Chair in Creative Writing at Old Dominion University. His other books include the memoir All My Mothers and Fathers (HarperCollins Publishers, 2002), and the poetry collection Dusty Angel (BOA Editions, Ltd., 1999), for which he was awarded the Isabella Gardner Poetry Award. Blumenthal’s new collection of poems, titled “And,” is the closest that the stoicism of Ecclesiastes will come to getting a 21st-century makeover. In it, there’s a time to laugh and cry, scatter stones and gather them up, and all the rest. There’s no point, though, in toil and hope beyond that. After reading these poems, which are designed with a cosmic sweep, you get the feeling that Blumenthal’s plan is, as in Dylan Thomas’s poem, eventually just to go gentle into that good night: “Rage, rage against the dying of the light” be damned. --THE JEWISH DAILY FORWARD Michael Blumenthal’s stunning new book, And, is an Eliotic celebration of life in the world as continuum and progress. He achieves this through a simple and seductive meditation upon the conjunction, “and,” and the way it enriches the complexity of language as it shapes lived experience. --The Montserrat Review
