Ruskin in Italy: Letters to His Parents, 1845
Author: John RuskinPublisher: Oxford : Clarendon Press
ISBN:
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
"The letters Ruskin wrote home almost daily during his Italian tour of 1845 are here fully published for the first time. The tour had an immediate effect on the first two volumes of Modern Painters and marks the beginning of Ruskin's lifelong concern with Italian painting and with Italian Romanesque and Gothic architecture. The letters record the influences on him, his changing views and feelings, and are therefore an essential document for the understanding of his development as a critic. They also contribute a good deal of evidence toward the understanding of his enormously important relationship with his ageing parents. Not least important, the letters taken altogether make a delightful travel book, for they were written not only to inform, but to entertain"--Jacket.
Emigrant Nation
Author: Mark I. ChoatePublisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674027848
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 352
Book Description
Between 1880 and 1915, thirteen million Italians left their homeland, launching the largest emigration from any country in recorded world history. As the young Italian state struggled to adapt to the exodus, it pioneered the establishment of a “global nation”—an Italy abroad cemented by ties of culture, religion, ethnicity, and economics. In this wide-ranging work, Mark Choate examines the relationship between the Italian emigrants, their new communities, and their home country. The state maintained that emigrants were linked to Italy and to one another through a shared culture. Officials established a variety of programs to coordinate Italian communities worldwide. They fostered identity through schools, athletic groups, the Dante Alighieri Society, the Italian Geographic Society, the Catholic Church, Chambers of Commerce, and special banks to handle emigrant remittances. But the projects aimed at binding Italians together also raised intense debates over priorities and the emigrants’ best interests. Did encouraging loyalty to Italy make the emigrants less successful at integrating? Were funds better spent on supporting the home nation rather than sustaining overseas connections? In its probing discussion of immigrant culture, transnational identities, and international politics, this fascinating book not only narrates the grand story of Italian emigration but also provides important background to immigration debates that continue to this day.

The Clause Structure of Wolof
Author: Harold TorrencePublisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027273014
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
This volume investigates the clausal syntax of Wolof, an understudied Atlantic language of Senegal. The goals of the work are descriptive, analytical, and comparative, with a focus on the structure of the left periphery and left peripheral phenomena. The book includes detailed examination of the morpho‑syntax of wh‑questions, successive cyclicity, subject marking, relative clauses, topic/focus articulation, and complementizer agreement. Novel data from Wolof is used to evaluate and extend theoretical proposals concerning the structure of the Complementizer Phrase (CP) and Tense Phrase (TP). It is argued that Wolof provides evidence for the promotion analysis of relative clauses, an “exploded” CP and TP, and for analyses that treat relative clauses as composed of a determiner with a CP complement. It is further argued that Wolof has a set of silent wh‑expressions and these are compared to superficially similar constructions in colloquial German, Bavarian, Dutch, and Norwegian. The book also presents a comparison of complementizer agreement across a number of related and unrelated languages. Data from Indo‑European (Germanic varieties, French, Irish), Niger‑Congo (Atlantic, Bantu, Gur), and Semitic (Arabic) languages put the Wolof phenomena in a larger typological context by showing the range of variation in complementizer agreement systems.
