Download or read book The Quote Verifier written by Ralph Keyes and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our language is full of hundreds of quotations that are often cited but seldom confirmed. Ralph Keyes's The Quote Verifier considers not only classic misquotes such as "Nice guys finish last," and "Play it again, Sam," but more surprising ones such as "Ain't I a woman?" and "Golf is a good walk spoiled," as well as the origins of popular sayings such as "The opera ain't over till the fat lady sings," "No one washes a rented car," and "Make my day." Keyes's in-depth research routinely confounds widespread assumptions about who said what, where, and when. Organized in easy-to-access dictionary form, The Quote Verifier also contains special sections highlighting commonly misquoted people and genres, such as Yogi Berra and Oscar Wilde, famous last words, and misremembered movie lines. An invaluable resource for not just those with a professional need to quote accurately, but anyone at all who is interested in the roots of words and phrases, The Quote Verifier is not only a fascinating piece of literary sleuthing, but also a great read.
Download or read book Writing Rogues written by Cassio de Oliveira and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2023-01-15 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plot elements such as adventure, travel to far-flung regions, the criminal underworld, and embezzlement schemes are not usually associated with Soviet literature, yet an entire body of work produced between the October Revolution and the Stalinist Great Terror was constructed around them. In Writing RoguesCassio de Oliveira sheds light on the picaresque and its marginal characters – rogues and storytellers – who populated the Soviet Union on paper and in real life. The picaresque afforded authors the means to articulate and reflect on the Soviet collective identity, a class-based utopia that rejected imperial power and attempted to deemphasize national allegiances. Combining new readings of canonical works with in-depth analysis of neglected texts, Writing Rogues explores the proliferation of characters left on the sidelines of the communist transition, including gangsters, con men, and petty thieves, many of them portrayed as ethnic minorities. The book engages with scholarship on Soviet subjectivity as well as classical picaresque literature in order to explain how the subversive rogue – such as Ilf and Petrov’s wildly popular cynic and schemer Ostap Bender – in the process of becoming a fully fledged Soviet citizen, came to expose and embody the contradictions of Soviet life itself. Writing Rogues enriches our understanding of how literature was called upon to participate in the construction of Soviet identity. It demonstrates that the Soviet picaresque resonated with individual citizens’ fears and aspirations as it recorded the country’s transformation into the first communist state.
Download or read book Rogues and Early Modern English Culture written by Craig Dionne and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Those at the periphery of society often figure obsessively for those at its center, and never more so than with the rogues of early modern England. Whether as social fact or literary fiction-or both, simultaneously-the marginal rogue became ideologically central and has remained so for historians, cultural critics, and literary critics alike. In this collection, early modern rogues represent the range, diversity, and tensions within early modern scholarship, making this quite simply the best overview of their significance then and now." -Jonathan Dollimore, York University "Rogues and Early Modern English Culture is an up-to-date and suggestive collection on a subject that all scholars of the early modern period have encountered but few have studied in the range and depth represented here." -Lawrence Manley, Yale University "A model of cross-disciplinary exchange, Rogues and Early Modern English Culture foregrounds the figure of the rogue in a nexus of early modern cultural inscriptions that reveals the provocation a seemingly marginal figure offers to authorities and various forms of authoritative understanding, then and now. The new and recent work gathered here is an exciting contribution to early modern studies, for both scholars and students." -Alexandra W. Halasz, Dartmouth College Rogues and Early Modern English Culture is a definitive collection of critical essays on the literary and cultural impact of the early modern rogue. Under various names-rogues, vagrants, molls, doxies, vagabonds, cony-catchers, masterless men, caterpillars of the commonwealth-this group of marginal figures, poor men and women with no clear social place or identity, exploded onto the scene in sixteenth-century English history and culture. Early modern representations of the rogue or moll in pamphlets, plays, poems, ballads, historical records, and the infamous Tudor Poor Laws treated these characters as harbingers of emerging social, economic, and cultural changes. Images of the early modern rogue reflected historical developments but also created cultural icons for mobility, change, and social adaptation. The underclass rogue in many ways inverts the familiar image of the self-fashioned gentleman, traditionally seen as the literary focus and exemplar of the age, but the two characters have more in common than courtiers or humanists would have admitted. Both relied on linguistic prowess and social dexterity to manage their careers, whether exploiting the politics of privilege at court or surviving by their wits on urban streets. Deftly edited by Craig Dionne and Steve Mentz, this anthology features essays from prominent and emerging critics in the field of Renaissance studies and promises to attract considerable attention from a broad range of readers and scholars in literary studies and social history.

When given the opportunity to create his own kingdom in a distant land, he gathered his pack and started out. But this new kingdom isn't just handed to him on a silver platter. There are new risks--new threats. And new possibilities. Aviva is wild and untamed. When her father gives her to Alpha King Ryan as a sign of unity, neither of them can say no. But the haunted look in his eyes makes her want to run in the other direction. Is it possible Aviva is his second chance mate? Or is she just a way of making peace in this rugged new land? As their enemies begin to close in, it becomes clear, they'll have to work together to survive--even if they're not meant to be together. But when Ryan looks at her, he doesn't want to tame her. He wants to claim her.

Download or read book Wake Up America Hello U S Future Bleak Stop Pilfering Rogues Or Perish written by Branston A. DiBrell and published by Dr DiBrell. This book was released on 2004-03 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Wake Up America…” A look into the future, written a decade ago and so far proven correct, remains IMPORTANT because it’s a fact that our nation remains on track to Perish and it’s VITAL because CHANGE is still possible. Research for “Wake Up America…” was consummated when George Bush was president, when fear of reprisal from his administration was apparent and said fear was instrumental in “Wake Up America…” being reworked and presented as fiction but (although being a bit muddled) the messages remained and predictions in the book continue to unfold . . . Housing and Jobs were two and both continue to plague US as we remain on track to expire in spite of laudable efforts made by president Obama and others to change our nations’ direction. I continue to hope we will change, hence this book, but can’t ignore the inertia keeping us on course (powered mostly by ignorance and greed in America) and moving towards our own demise. The “Rogues,” officials targeted in “Wake Up America…” remain in place and are growing in spite of efforts to quell them or remove them from positions of power (especially those officials who were elected to serve the people), Rogues not serving but servicing the people . . . like a Bull services a Cow. Writing “Wake Up America…” I had the audacity to think Americans would read it and take action needed to identify and recall Rogues who were elected officials and take actions to squeeze out all Rogues in power and save our nation from the transition we currently are experiencing that if continued will definitely lead to an inevitable albeit unspecified, unrecoverable, breakdown. Also, over two decades ago I Researched/Published "Vanishing Mainframes..." in the Journal INTERFACE before IBM split up to prevent going out of business . . . and note IBM and all my colleagues ignored the research and predictions, which was the FIRST such publications looking into the future. GOOGLE, thank you for helping me advertise “Wake Up America…”

Download or read book Elements of the Picaresque in Contemporary British Fiction written by Ion Piso and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study looks back at the picaresque, with its Spanish roots, and especially with its tradition in English literature; then, it comes to contemporary times, and identifies elements of the picaresque in contemporary novels. The main thesis of the author is that the picaresque has never left the literary scene in Britain, being an aesthetic invariant, which expresses a natural inclination of the British authors towards the picaresque story. Postcolonial authors also favour this genre as a consequence of their own literary tradition, which includes particular variants of the picaresque, and as a result of their own situation as immigrant/displaced authors, which gives them material for stories of displaced characters – rogues. The study rigorously identifies the sources of the contemporary protocols of the picaresque, as well as a few variants of picaresque stories in a selection of novels the author accounts for theoretically.

Download or read book 1998 Strategic Assessment Engaging Power For Peace written by and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few years the Department of Defense has been intensifying its study of the global security situation, U.S. force posture, and future defense requirements. The National Defense University contributes to this dialog through Strategic Assessment, an annual publication which applies the expertise of this institution through the leadership of its interdisciplinary research arm, the Institute for National Strategic Studies, with the assistance of specialists from elsewhere in government and academe. Offering such analyses, in both general and particular areas of interest to the national security community is an important aspect of the NDU mission. This volume examines various approaches that the United States might adopt to shape the strategic environment of the future. The current environment is characterized by instability and change. The U.S. Government needs to apply the full range of options at its disposal to achieve national goals and ensure the peace and stability required to preserve our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But such options must be studied and conceptualized for years (and in some cases, decades) in advance to take advantage of the opportunities presented by a changing global environment. The recent Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) recommended a series of defense posture changes. This volume reviews these recommendations and takes the next analytical step, to propose what is entailed by such changes. Strategic Assessment 1998: Engaging Power for Peace should prove useful beyond the defense establishment, to all readers with an interest in national security affairs.
