Life and Adventures of Nat Love - Nat Love - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Life and Adventures of Nat Love - Nat Love - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Nat Love''s memoir Life and Adventures of Nat Love is one of the only firsthand accounts of an African American cowhand in the western United States from this period. Love and his parents were owned by planter Robert Love, and after Emancipation, his parents remained on Love''s plantation as sharecroppers while Nat left and headed west. He found work as a cowboy, first on the Duval Ranch in the Texas panhandle, then on the Gallinger Ranch in southern Arizona. Love''s narrative details his many adventures and exploits, such as being captured and shot by Pima Indians, who eventually spared his life because they sympathized with his plight as a black man. In Deadwood, Dakota Territory, he entered a rodeo, winning $200 and the nickname Deadwood Dick, a reference to a literary character from a dime novel of the day. Published in 1907, the Life and Adventures of Nat Love would help to make Love a black folk hero of the Old West.A DOCSOUTH BOOK.

Love in the Time of Revolution - Andrew Cayton - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Love in the Time of Revolution - Andrew Cayton - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

In 1798, English essayist and novelist William Godwin ignited a transatlantic scandal with Memoirs of the Author of ""A Vindication of the Rights of Woman."" Most controversial were the details of the romantic liaisons of Godwin's wife, Mary Wollstonecraft, with both American Gilbert Imlay and Godwin himself. Wollstonecraft's life and writings became central to a continuing discussion about love's place in human society. Literary radicals argued that the cultivation of intense friendship could lead to the renovation of social and political institutions, whereas others maintained that these freethinkers were indulging their own desires with a disregard for stability and higher authority. Through correspondence and novels, Andrew Cayton finds an ideal lens to view authors, characters, and readers all debating love's power to alter men and women in the world around them. Cayton argues for Wollstonecraft's and Godwin's enduring influence on fiction published in Great Britain and the United States and explores Mary Godwin Shelley's endeavors to sustain her mother's faith in romantic love as an engine of social change.

Escape from the Prison of Love - Robert Folger - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Escape from the Prison of Love - Robert Folger - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

Escape from the Prison of Love is an exploration of medieval modes of subject constitution and their transformation in fifteenth-century Spanish sentimental romance, with a particular focus on Diego de San Pedro''s Carcel de amor . Drawing on premodern psychological models, Robert Folger argues that courtly self-fashioning through amatory performance provided an alternative and threat to the medieval gradual build-up of the self through hexis and habitus . In the light of the unsettling gender implications for the courtly lover, says Folger, the authors of sentimental fiction explored new ways of subject constitution based not on passionate attachment but on identification. Carcel de amor shows how new forms of writing and reading techniques and authorship provided an avenue for a new notion of interiority that was essential to the Golden Age of Spanish literature.

A Theory of Craft - Howard Risatti - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

A Theory of Craft - Howard Risatti - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press - Plusbog.dk

What is craft? How is it different from fine art or design? In A Theory of Craft , Howard Risatti examines these issues by comparing handmade ceramics, glass, metalwork, weaving, and furniture to painting, sculpture, photography, and machine-made design from Bauhaus to the Memphis Group. He describes craft as uniquely blending function with a deeper expression of human values that transcend culture, time, and space. Craft must articulate a role for itself in contemporary society, says Risatti; otherwise it will be absorbed by fine art or design, and its singular approach to understanding the world will be lost.

British and American Commercial Relations with Soviet Russia, 1918-1924 - Christine A. White - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press -

British and American Commercial Relations with Soviet Russia, 1918-1924 - Christine A. White - Bog - The University of North Carolina Press -

Reassesses Anglo-American trade with Soviet Russia immediately following the Bolshevik Revolution to show that, unlike diplomatic relations, commercial ties were not severed by ideological differences. White argues that British and American trade with Russia resumed soon after the Bolsheviks' rise to power and that this period of trade had a significant effect on future commerce.
