Book Description
Excerpt from West Broadway Fter a severe attack of thinking I have come to realize how true is the poet's word, A Little Educa tion Can Start a Hell of a Lot of Trouble. Do you get me? Like a dose of medicine it has got to be measured right to have a real desirable effect. Take too little and it only sort of makes you sick; take too much and you will be worse Off than before. And I have come also to realize that what ails a good part of this country today is a little education. We got a small dose and it ain't working either one way or another, which is maybe rather a rough thing for one which is at once a lady, a mother and a admittedly great actress like myself to say, but then all great truths are more or less rough. Anyways, it is a clear, general statement, which is a dangerous thing to make, and I wouldn't make one that was not based on personal Observation, and this one is based on several weeks of it.

Broadview Anthology of British Literature
Author: The Broadview Anthology of British Literature Volume 2: The Renaissance and the Early Seventeenth Century - Third Edition
Author: Joseph BlackPublisher: Broadview Press
ISBN: 1770485813
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1319
Book Description
In all six of its volumes The Broadview Anthology of British Literature presents British literature in a truly distinctive light. Fully grounded in sound literary and historical scholarship, the anthology takes a fresh approach to many canonical authors, and includes a wide selection of work by lesser-known writers. The anthology also provides wide-ranging coverage of the worldwide connections of British literature, and it pays attention throughout to issues of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. It includes comprehensive introductions to each period, providing in each case an overview of the historical and cultural as well as the literary background. It features accessible and engaging headnotes for all authors, extensive explanatory annotations, and an unparalleled number of illustrations and contextual materials. Innovative, authoritative and comprehensive, The Broadview Anthology of British Literature has established itself as a leader in the field. The full anthology comprises six bound volumes, together with an extensive website component; the latter has been edited, annotated, and designed according to the same high standards as the bound book component of the anthology, and is accessible by using the passcode obtained with the purchase of one or more of the bound volumes. For the third edition of this volume a considerable number of changes have been made. Newly prepared, for example, is a substantial selection from Baldassare Castiglione’s The Courtier, presented in Thomas Hoby’s influential early modern English translation. Thomas Kyd’s The Spanish Tragedy is another major addition. Also new to the anthology are excerpts from Thomas Dekker’s plague pamphlets. We have considerably expanded our representation of Elizabeth I’s writings and speeches, as well as providing several more cantos from Edmund Spenser’s Faerie Queene and adding selections from Sir Philip Sidney’s Arcadia. We have broadened our coverage, too, to include substantial selections of Irish, Gaelic Scottish, and Welsh literature. (Perhaps most notable of the numerous authors in this section are two extraordinary Welsh poets, Dafydd ap Gwilym and Gwerful Mechain.) Mary Sidney Herbert’s writings now appear in the bound book instead of on the companion website. Margaret Cavendish, previously included in volume 3 of the full anthology, will now also be included in this volume; we have added a number of her poems, with an emphasis on those with scientific themes. The edition features two new Contexts sections: a sampling of “Tudor and Stuart Humor,” and a section on “Levellers, Diggers, Ranters, and Covenanters.” New materials on emblem books and on manuscript culture have also been added to the “Culture: A Portfolio” contexts section. There are many additions the website component as well—including Thomas Deloney’s Jack of Newbury also published as a stand-alone BABL edition). We are also expanding our online selection of transatlantic material, with the inclusion of writings by John Smith, William Bradford, and Anne Bradstreet.

Revolutions in Romantic Literature
Author: Paul KeenPublisher: Broadview Press
ISBN: 1770482229
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
This concise Broadview anthology of primary source materials is unique in its focus on Romantic literature and the ways in which the period itself was characterized by wide-ranging, self-conscious debates about the meaning of literature. It includes materials that are not available in other Romantic literature anthologies. The anthology is organized into thirteen sections that highlight the intensity and sophistication with which a variety of related literary issues were debated in the Romantic period. These debates posed fundamental questions about the very nature of literature as a cultural phenomenon, the extent and role of the reading public, literature's relation to the sciences and the aesthetic, the influence of contemporary commercial pressures, and the impact of perceived excesses in consumer fashions. The anthology foregrounds the ways that these literary debates converged with broader social and political controversies such as the French Revolution, the struggle for women's rights, colonialism, and the anti-slave trade campaign. This anthology includes an impressive range of writings from the period (including literary criticism and philosophical, political, scientific, and travel writing) which embodies the collection's broad approach to Romantic literature. Both lesser-known and more canonical writings are included, and the selections are organized by topic in such a way as to dramatize the debates and exchanges which characterize the Romantic period.
Over the Hills to Broadway (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Over the Hills to Broadway They who have read the "Heart of Merrie England" will scarcely need to be told in what part of England to look for the places named in the following pages. The villages lie near the borderland of Gloucestershire and Worcestershire, and if the reader will take his map and find Stratford-upon-Avon, he will see Shipston-on-Stour lying south ten miles, a little to the east, and Evesham more to the west of the same point of the compass. South of a line drawn between the last two towns are the places hereinafter referred to. My gossip will be better enjoyed if the country travelled over be thus ascertained. The August spoken of was that of 1892, and most of this account was written at or very near the time - all of it within the region traversed. I have made little revision of my original sketches. They were written in pencil, and mostly as they were written they went to the printer. Possibly, as a result of this, my readers will find little to appreciate except the freshness of the work. I have taken for granted that whoever took the trouble to run over this booklet would be my friend, with whom I might sit in my study or, if I had a garden, under my own ivy, and at my will either laugh or talk seriously. Such an one would have kindly feeling enough not to misunderstand me. The illustrations, made expressly for this article, are taken from photographs secured by me while at Broadway. I have to thank the proprietors of The American Church Sunday School Magazine for their kind permission to reprint from their journal these pages. Should this reprint prove acceptable further articles of a similar nature will find their way into the magazine and further reprints will be made.
