[Introduction To] The Cambridge Companion To Paradise Lost, Louis Schwartz Jan 2014

[Introduction To] The Cambridge Companion To Paradise Lost, Louis Schwartz

Bookshelf

This Companion presents fifteen short, accessible essays exploring the most important topics and themes in John Milton's masterpiece, Paradise Lost. The essays invite readers to begin their own independent exploration of the poem by equipping them with useful background knowledge, introducing them to key passages, and acquainting them with the current state of critical debates. Chapters are arranged to mirror the way the poem itself unfolds, offering exactly what readers need as they approach each movement of its grand design. Essays in Part I introduce the characters who frame the poem's story and set its plot and theological dynamics …


[Introduction To] Universal Rights And The Constitution, Stephen A. Simon Jan 2014

[Introduction To] Universal Rights And The Constitution, Stephen A. Simon

Bookshelf

Are constitutional rights based exclusively in uniquely American considerations, or are they based at least in part on principles that transcend the boundaries of any particular country, such as the requirements of freedom or dignity? By viewing constitutional law through the prism of this fundamental question, Universal Rights and the Constitution exposes an overlooked difficulty with opinions rendered by the Supreme Court, namely, an inherent ambiguity about the kinds of arguments that count in constitutional interpretation, which weakens the foundations of our most cherished rights.

Rejecting current debates over constitutional interpretation as flawed, Stephen A. Simon offers an innovative framework …


[Introduction To] Un Libro Quemado, Mariela Méndez, Graciela A. Queirolo, Alicia N. Salomone Jan 2014

[Introduction To] Un Libro Quemado, Mariela Méndez, Graciela A. Queirolo, Alicia N. Salomone

Bookshelf

Los escritos de Alfonsina Storni reunidos en este libro fueron publicados entre 1919 y 1921 en la revista La Nota y el diario La Nación. Sus títulos, como “¿Quién es el enemigo del divorcio?”, “Los defectos masculinos” o “¿Por qué las maestras se casan poco?”, dan cuenta de una mirada crítica e irreverente que desafió las costumbres y las normas de su época.

Usando como molde las típicas columnas femeninas que giran en torno al mundo doméstico, Storni dio un paso más allá e incorporó temas polémicos tales como la presencia de la mujer en el mercado de trabajo …


[Introduction To] Escrituras A Ras De Suelo: Crónica Latinoamericana Del Siglo Xx, Marcela Aguilar, Claudia Darrigrandi, Mariela Méndez, Antonia Viu Jan 2014

[Introduction To] Escrituras A Ras De Suelo: Crónica Latinoamericana Del Siglo Xx, Marcela Aguilar, Claudia Darrigrandi, Mariela Méndez, Antonia Viu

Bookshelf

El proyecto de publicar una colección de artículos sobre la crónica latinoamericana aparecida en el siglo xx, principalmente entre 1930 y 1970, intenta hacerse cargo de una producción mucho menos estudiada que la crónica modernista o que la crónica de las últimas décadas, problematizando las definiciones y fundamentos que se le han atribuido al género a partir de esas tradiciones. Más que una nueva revisión de tales concepciones de la crónica, lo que el lector encontrará en los escritos agrupados en las distintas secciones de este libro son elementos parciales y problemas concretos que surgen en muy distintos contextos y …

The Case Of "Who's Looney Now?" : Psychologists, Psychiatrists, The Public, And Contested Notions Of Insanity In Turn-Of-The-Twentieth Century America, Amanda Lynn Haislip

Honors Theses

No doubt, “eccentric” is one word that describes John Armstrong Chaloner, a lawyer, entrepreneur, anti-Spiritualist, “scientific” medium, millionaire heir to the fur-trading fortune of John Jacob Astor, and, at one point, an incurably insane paranoiac. After he married and amicably divorced the Virginian novelist Amélie Rives, in 1888 and 1895 respectively, Chaloner discovered he could communicate with his subconscious, his “X-Faculty” as he named it, using a planchette, an early form of a Ouija board. He claimed to have changed his own eye color from brown to grey using this strange X-Faculty and boasted about winning $600 off of a …
