E. L. Doctorow

E. L. Doctorow

During his lifetime E. L. Doctorow was a remarkable phenomenon among contemporary American novelists. He was a serious writer who was popular a political writer who was a stylist an original writer who was highly eclectic and an historical writer who invented the past. In this study originally published in 1985 Paul Levine follows Doctorow’s progress as a novelist and traces the development of certain themes that recur in his work including the relationships between history and imagination between high and popular culture and between political content and radical style. He also examines Doctorow’s notion of the writer as witness and actor and of writing as a subversive activity two concerns which link him with important writers in Europe and Latin America. The book should provide a valuable and comprehensive coverage of his work to date including the films of Ragtime and The Book of Daniel.

L. Munatius Plancus Serving and Surviving in the Roman Revolution

L. Munatius Plancus Serving and Surviving in the Roman Revolution

This volume examines the life and career of L. Munatius Plancus and through him explores the tumultuous final years of the Roman Republic. Plancus had very active and lengthy political career from his initial appearance on the staff of Julius Caesar in Gaul in 54BC at least through the censorship of 22BC. During this time he was in close contact for over 30 years with all the major figures during a period of tremendous political and social upheaval in Rome. He maneuvered carefully and cautiously changing affiliation from boyhood ties to Cicero to Caesar to Antony and Cleopatra and finally to Octavian - it was Plancus himself who proposed the motion whereby the Senate conferred the name Augustus on the new ruler of Rome. More than just a biography of this fascinating figure this volume also offers insight into the politics of this complex period. | L. Munatius Plancus Serving and Surviving in the Roman Revolution

Writing for the Masses Dorothy L. Sayers and the Victorian Literary Tradition

Writing for the Masses Dorothy L. Sayers and the Victorian Literary Tradition

In Writing for the Masses: Dorothy L. Sayers and the Victorian Literary Tradition Dr. Christine A. Colón explores how Sayers carefully negotiates the complexities of early twentieth century literary culture by embracing a specifically Victorian literary tradition of writing to engage a wide audience. Using a variety of examples from Sayers’s detective fiction essays and religious drama Dr. Colón charts Sayers’s development as a writer whose intense desire to connect with her audience eventually compels her to embrace the role of a Victorian sage for her own age. Ultimately the Victorian literary tradition not only provides her with an empowering model for her own work as she struggles as a writer of detective fiction to balance her integrity as an artist with her desire to reach a mass audience but also facilitates her growth as a public intellectual as she strives to help her nation recover from the devastation of World War II. | Writing for the Masses Dorothy L.

‘Be Clear Kashmir will Vote for India’ Jammu & Kashmir 1947-1953 Reporting the Contemporary Understanding of the Unreported

‘Be Clear Kashmir will Vote for India’ Jammu & Kashmir 1947-1953 Reporting the Contemporary Understanding of the Unreported

The central point that this volume makes is that much of what happened in Jammu & Kashmir in the critical first few years (1947-53) needs a more careful reassessment. It is argued that there were little voices of ordinary people that should have been heard but were ignored. The political discourse that took centre stage even as it appeared more assertive and representative of mass public opinion was however as is now clear only a clever and misleading political move. Much of the source material upon which the author has based his study has till now remained unstudied and uncited – rare hard to find books pamphlets articles in journals magazines and newspapers official and party reports and so on. The volume takes the reader back in time to a kind of ring side seat. Kashmir’s cultural and historical legacy the invasion the issue of the plebiscite the United Nations and the ceasefire the Praja Parishad and most important of all the political scene and its key players – Prime Minister Nehru Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee and Sheikh Abdullah. Based on the nature of its sources the volume breaks free of a stereotyped approach to understanding the origin of what we commonly term today as the ‘Kashmir problem’. The volume argues that contemporary views recorded as they are in the heat of the moment with natural spontaneity often contain hidden lines and new light. Not surprisingly contemporary versions tell us a story very different from mainstream conventional writings on Jammu & Kashmir. This timely volume will radically influence the existing discourse on Jammu & Kashmir.

The (Not So) Surprising Longevity of Identity Politics Contemporary Challenges of the State-Society Compact in Central Eastern Europe

The (Not So) Surprising Longevity of Identity Politics Contemporary Challenges of the State-Society Compact in Central Eastern Europe

This book assesses the underpinning role ‘references to identity’ played and continue to play as the powerful mobilising force in domestic politics across the East European region stretching from Estonia to Bulgaria. The EU membership of postcommunist states was to ensure stability prevent conflict and eventually guarantee equality of all citizens regardless of their political preferences or ethnic identities. However the promotion of such norms and values has been secondary to consolidation of state institutions and the societies they serve around ethnocentric narratives of states’ core ethnic groups. The sequel of financial then ‘refugee’ crises has further dented the appeal of the EU’s norms across the region. Even the rhetoric commitment to respect cultural diversity and human rights has been promptly replaced with references to identity and interests of politically relevant groups. Yet nativist and populist rhetoric has been the staple of politics since before the EU accession. The chapters in this edited volume zoom in on politics which forge and live-off their societies’ preoccupation with ethnocentric narratives vesting national identity with persistent relevance and considerable weight across the postcommunist region. The chapters in this book were originally published in the journal East European Politics. | The (Not So) Surprising Longevity of Identity Politics Contemporary Challenges of the State-Society Compact in Central Eastern Europe

The New Sociology of Knowledge The Life and Work of Peter L. Berger

The New Sociology of Knowledge The Life and Work of Peter L. Berger

A classical sociologist can be defined as someone whose works occupied a central position among the sociological ideas and notions of an era. Following this criterion Michaela Pfadenhauer demonstrates the relevance of Peter L. Berger's work to the sociology of knowledge. Pfadenhauer shows that Berger is not only a sociologist of religion but one whose works are characterized by a sociology-of-knowledge perspective. Berger stands out among his fellow social scientists both quantitatively and qualitatively. He has written numerous books which have been translated into many languages and a multitude of essays in scholarly journals and popular magazines. For decades he has played a role in shaping both public debate and social scientific discourse in America and far beyond. As a sociologist of knowledge Berger has played three roles: he has been a theoretician of modern life an analyst of modern religiosity and an empiricist of global economic culture. In all areas the focus on processes rather than status quo is characteristic of Berger's thinking. This book provides an in-depth view on the critical thinking of one of the most important sociologists that present times has to offer. It includes four written essays by Berger. | The New Sociology of Knowledge The Life and Work of Peter L. Berger

Volume 18 Tome III: Kierkegaard Secondary Literature English L-Z

Volume 18 Tome III: Kierkegaard Secondary Literature English L-Z

In recent years interest in the thought of Kierkegaard has grown dramatically and with it the body of secondary literature has expanded so quickly that it has become impossible for even the most conscientious scholar to keep pace. The problem of the explosion of secondary literature is made more acute by the fact that much of what is written about Kierkegaard appears in languages that most Kierkegaard scholars do not know. Kierkegaard has become a global phenomenon and new research traditions have emerged in different languages countries and regions. The present volume is dedicated to trying to help to resolve these two problems in Kierkegaard studies. Its purpose is first to provide book reviews of some of the leading monographic studies in the Kierkegaard secondary literature so as to assist the community of scholars to become familiar with the works that they have not read for themselves. The aim is thus to offer students and scholars of Kierkegaard a comprehensive survey of works that have played a more or less significant role in the research. Second the present volume also tries to make accessible many works in the Kierkegaard secondary literature that are written in different languages and thus to give a glimpse into various and lesser-known research traditions. The six tomes of the present volume present reviews of works written in Catalan Chinese Czech Danish Dutch English Finnish French Galician German Greek Hebrew Hungarian Italian Japanese Norwegian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Slovak Spanish and Swedish. | Volume 18 Tome III: Kierkegaard Secondary Literature English L-Z
