Book Old Toney and His Master  Or the Abolitionist and the Land Pirate

Download or read book Old Toney and His Master Or the Abolitionist and the Land Pirate written by Desmos Desmos and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Toney and His Master, or the Abolitionist and the Land-Pirate: Founded on Facts; A Tale of 1824-1827 May the reading of these pages touch the heart of the reader, as the writing of the largest portion of this work touched mine, so that my eyes were often blinded by my tears. And the reason why my own heart was so deeply affected, kind reader, is because the facts herein recorded are so true, and so near home. For there is scarcely a chapter written of either of these three books, which does not contain a great fact. The whole book is, in truth, a compilation of facts, many of them disconnected, it is true, which the author has attempted to interweave as artistically as the delicate nature of the circumstances would admit. This work may, therefore, more properly be considered a history than fiction. It is true that names of persons and places, of dates and scenery, have all been altered or suppressed, for obvious reasons, but these alterations do not affect the value of the truths themselves, nor should they, because they are tangible facts, touch less deeply the reader's sympathetic heart. Kind reader, bear with the faults of the work, whatever in your opinion they may be, and look only at the good which is intended.

Book Emotions and Social Change

Download or read book Emotions and Social Change written by David Lemmings and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection takes a critical perspective on Norbert Elias’s theory of the "civilizing process," through historical essays and contemporary analysis from sociologists and cultural theorists. It focuses on changes in emotional regimes or styles and considers the intersection of emotions and social change, historically and contemporaneously. The book is set in the context of increasing interest among humanities and social science scholars in reconsidering the significance of emotion and affect in society, and the development of empirical research and theorizing around these subjects. Some have labeled this interest as an "affective turn" or a "turn to affect," which suggests a profound and wide-ranging reshaping of disciplines. Building upon complex theoretical models of emotions and social change, the chapters exemplify this shift in analysis of emotions and affect, and suggest different approaches to investigation which may help to shape the direction of sociological and historical thinking and research.

Book Apples and Ashes

    Book Details:
  • Author : Coleman Hutchison
  • Publisher : University of Georgia Press
  • Release : 2012-03-01
  • ISBN : 082034365X
  • Pages : 294 pages

Download or read book Apples and Ashes written by Coleman Hutchison and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apples and Ashes offers the first literary history of the Civil War South. The product of extensive archival research, it tells an expansive story about a nation struggling to write itself into existence. Confederate literature was in intimate conversation with other contemporary literary cultures, especially those of the United States and Britain. Thus, Coleman Hutchison argues, it has profound implications for our understanding of American literary nationalism and the relationship between literature and nationalism more broadly. Apples and Ashes is organized by genre, with each chapter using a single text or a small set of texts to limn a broader aspect of Confederate literary culture. Hutchison discusses an understudied and diverse archive of literary texts including the literary criticism of Edgar Allan Poe; southern responses to Uncle Tom’s Cabin; the novels of Augusta Jane Evans; Confederate popular poetry; the de facto Confederate national anthem, “Dixie”; and several postwar southern memoirs. In addition to emphasizing the centrality of slavery to the Confederate literary imagination, the book also considers a series of novel topics: the reprinting of European novels in the Confederate South, including Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations and Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables; Confederate propaganda in Europe; and postwar Confederate emigration to Latin America. In discussing literary criticism, fiction, poetry, popular song, and memoir, Apples and Ashes reminds us of Confederate literature’s once-great expectations. Before their defeat and abjection—before apples turned to ashes in their mouths—many Confederates thought they were in the process of creating a nation and a national literature that would endure.
