Violence and Culture in the Antebellum South

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bruce, Jr. Dickson D. / Bruce, Dickson D., PUBLISHER: University of Texas Press, This provocative book draws from a variety of sources--literature, politics, folklore, social history--to attempt to set Southern beliefs about violence in a cultural context. According to Dickson D. Bruce, the control of violence was a central concern of antebellum Southerners. Using contemporary sources, Bruce describes Southerners' attitudes as illustrated in their duels, hunting, and the rhetoric of their politicians. He views antebellum Southerners as pessimistic and deeply distrustful of social relationships and demonstrates how this world view impelled their reliance on formal controls to regularize human interaction. The attitudes toward violence of masters, slaves, and "plain-folk"--the three major social groups of the period--are differentiated, and letters and family papers are used to illustrate how Southern child-rearing practices contributed to attitudes toward violence in the region. The final chapter treats Edgar Allan Poe as a writer who epitomized the attitudes of many Southerners before the Civil War.

A Story to Live by

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Galloway, Kathy, PUBLISHER: United Church Press, When she was young, Kathy Galloway found that a poem by Walt Whitman gave her a sense of truth. As she grew and reflected on the poem, she discovered three "convictions": that the beingness of the world is good, that its intrinsic worth is in its relatedness, and that nothing is more miraculous than the ordinary. These three convictions are part of the story she lives by. In this book, Galloway uses her experiences to help us contemplate three basic questions: What is my story? What has helped shape my story? and How does my story relate to the stories of others? Drawing on her knowledge of Celtic spirituality and her deep sense of social justice, she addresses such themes as the search for roots, the role of work, and the need for values.

Faust: The First Part of the Tragedy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von / Constantine, David / Byatt, A. S., PUBLISHER: Penguin Books, Goethe viewed the writing of poetry as essentially autobiographical, and the works selected in this volume represent more than sixty years in the life of the poet. In early poems such as aPrometheus, a he rails against religion in an almost ecstatic fervor, while aTo the Moona is an enigmatic meditation on the end of a love affair. The "Roman Elegies" show Goetheas use of Classical meters in an homage to ancient Rome and its poets, and aThe Diary, a suppressed for more than a century, is a narrative poem whose eroticism is combined with its morality. In selections from "Faust," arguably his greatest and most personal work, Goethe creates an exhilarating depiction of humankindas eternal search for truth. aFaithful and felicitous, these verse translations... are an excellent introduction to Goetheas] genius.a a"The Daily Telegraph" (London)
