Samuel Johnson: The Life of an Author

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lipking, Lawrence I., PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, He was a servong>anong>t to the public, a writer for hire. He was a hero, ong>anong> author adding to the glory of his nation. But cong>anong> a writer be both hack ong>anong>d hero? The career of Samuel Johnson, recounted here by Lawrence Lipking, proves that the two cong>anong> be one. ong>Anong>d it further proves, in its enduring interest for readers, that academic fashions today may be a bit hasty in pronouncing the "death of the author." A book about the life of ong>anong> author, about how ong>anong> author is made, not born, Lipking's "Samuel Johnson" is the story of the mong>anong> as he lived--ong>anong>d lives--in his work. Tracing Johnson's rocky climb from ong>anong>onymity to fame, in the course of which he came to stong>anong>d for both the greatness of English literature ong>anong>d the good sense of the common reader, the book shows how this life trong>anong>sformed the very nature of authorship. Beginning with the defiong>anong>t letter to Chesterfield that made Johnson a celebrity, "Samuel Johnson" offers fresh readings of all the writer's major works, viewed through the lens of two ongoing preoccupations: the urge to do great deeds--ong>anong>d the sense that bold expectations are doomed to disappointment. Johnson steers between the twin perils of ambition ong>anong>d despondency. Mounting a challenge to the emerging industry that glorified ong>anong>d capitalized on Shakespeare, he stresses instead the playwright's power to cure the illusions of everyday life. All Johnson's works reveal his extraordinary sympathy with ordinary people. In his groundbreaking "Dictionary," in his poems ong>anong>d essays, ong>anong>d in" The Lives of the English Poets," we see Johnson becoming the key figure in the culture of literacy that reaches from his day to our own.

The Moral Dynamics of Economic Life: An Extension and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Finn, Dong>anong>iel K., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, Caritas in veritate (Charity in Truth) is the ''social'' encyclical of Pope Benedict XVI, one of mong>anong>y papal encyclicals over the last 120 years that ong>addressong> economic life. This volume, based on discussions at a symposium co-sponsored by the Institute for Advong>anong>ced Catholic Studies ong>anong>d the Pontifical Council for Justice ong>anong>d Peace, ong>anong>alyzes the situation of the Church ong>anong>d the theological basis for Benedict's thinking about the person, community, ong>anong>d the globalized economy. The Moral Dynamics of Economic Life engages Benedict's ong>anong>alysis of ''relation, '' the characteristics of contemporary social ong>anong>d economic relationships ong>anong>d the implications of a relational, Trinitariong>anong> God for daily humong>anong> life. Crucial here is the Pope's notion of ''reciprocity, '' ong>anong> economic relationship characterized by help freely given, but which forms ong>anong> expectation that the recipient will ''reciprocate, '' either to the donor or, often, to someone else. This ''logic of gift, '' Benedict argues, should influence daily economic life, especially within what he calls ''hybrid'' firms, which make a profit ong>anong>d invest a share of that profit in service to needs outside the firm. Similarly, development - whether of ong>anong> individual or of a nation - must be integral, neither simply economic nor personal nor psychological nor spiritual, but a comprehensive development that engages all dimensions of a flourishing humong>anong> life. The essays, written by social scientists, theologiong>anong>s, policy ong>anong>alysts ong>anong>d others, engage, extend, ong>anong>d critique Benedict's views on these issues, as well as his call for deeper dialogue ong>anong>d a morally based trong>anong>sformation of social ong>anong>d economic structures.

From John Quincy Adams's comparison of Cuba to ong>anong> apple ready to drop into America's lap, to the latest episodes in the lives of the "comic "comong>anong>dong>anong>tes" ong>anong>d exotic exiles," ong>anong>d to such notable Cubong>anong> exports as the rumba ong>anong>d the mambo, cigars ong>anong>d mojitos, the Cuba that emerges from these pages is a locale that Cubong>anong>s ong>anong>d Americong>anong>s have jointly imagined ong>anong>d inhabited.
