The Masterless
Author: Wilfred M. McClay
Publisher: Univ of North Carolina Press
ISBN: 0807863297
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
In this provocative book, Wilfred McClay considers the long-standing tension between individualism and social cohesion in conceptions of American culture. Exploring ideas of unity and diversity as they have evolved since the Civil War, he illuminates the historical background to our ongoing search for social connectedness and sources of authority in a society increasingly dominated by the premises of individualism. McClay borrows D. H. Lawrence's term 'masterless men'--extending its meaning to women as well--and argues that it is expressive of both the promise and the peril inherent in the modern American social order. Drawing upon a wide range of disciplines--including literature, sociology, political science, philosophy, psychology, and feminist theory--McClay identifies a competition between visions of dispersion on the one hand and coalescence on the other as modes of social organization. In addition, he employs intellectual biography to illuminate the intersection of these ideas with the personal experiences of the thinkers articulating them and shows how these shifting visions are manifestations of a more general ambivalence about the process of national integration and centralization that has characterized modern American economic, political, and cultural life.

A Library of the World's Best Literature - Ancient and Modern - Vol.XXXIV (Forty-Five Volumes); Shelley-Sophocles
Author: Charles Dudley Warner
Publisher: Cosimo, Inc.
ISBN: 1605202320
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
Popular American essayist, novelist, and journalist CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER (1829-1900) was renowned for the warmth and intimacy of his writing, which encompassed travelogue, biography and autobiography, fiction, and more, and influenced entire generations of his fellow writers. Here, the prolific writer turned editor for his final grand work, a splendid survey of global literature, classic and modern, and it's not too much to suggest that if his friend and colleague Mark Twain-who stole Warner's quip about how "everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it"-had assembled this set, it would still be hailed today as one of the great achievements of the book world. Highlights from Volume 34 include: . the poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley . excerpts from the plays of Richard Brinsley Sheridan . the fiction of Henryk Sienkiewicz . the verse of Simonides of Ceos . the philosophy of Adam Smith . the writings of Tobias George Smollett . the philosophy of Socrates . the plays of Sophocles . and much, much more.
