The British Essayists. With Prefaces, Biographical, Historical and Critical, by James Ferguson ...2d Ed
Author: Fair Philosopher
Author: Lynn Marie WrightPublisher: Bucknell University Press

Category : Literary Criticism

Pages : 264
Book Description
"Fair Philosopher, the first sustained scholarly study of The Female Spectator, brings together an impressive collection of established and upcoming Haywood scholars who challenge much of the received opinion about this groundbreaking journal. Several of the essays show that Haywood's periodical was far more political than is generally thought, that its connections to her career as a novelist are more intimate than has been recognized, and that The Spectator was a target as well as a model. This collection makes a convincing argument that Haywood's periodical deserves far more critical attention than it has received so far and suggests new lines of development for future Haywood scholarship."--Publisher's website.

Book Description
This second edition by Gettys and Howlett reveals new research on James Gettyss role as a Pennsylvania rifleman serving under George Washington in the Battle of Brooklyn during the American Revolutionary War. James and other local men went missing in action, and they were captured by the British following the harrowing battle. In addition, Jamess father, Samuel Gettys, was severely disabled during the Revolutionary War. Later in 1802, James Gettys was court-martialed as a result of his militia troops refusal to abide by his orders. Ultimately, Gettys remained in the Pennsylvania militia and became a brigadier general. Both businessman and civil servant, James donated endless properties to the town, the county, and his heirs. He served both the town and the state, holding positions ranging from sheriff to state representative. And as an original founder of both the borough and the bank, Gettys worked up until the day he died with spirit and dedication to the town he knew and lovedGettysburg, Pennsylvania.
