The Stage Career of Cicely Hamilton (1895-1914) By Sean Moran 2017 | 236 Pages | ISBN: 3631679114 | PDF | 2 MB Drawing on recently released or previously neglected archive material, this book is the first dedicated to the stage career of Cicely Hamilton (1872-1952). Best known for her work with the women's suffrage movement, Hamilton was at the same time deeply committed to the commercial stage as an actress, dramatist and activist. The book draws extensively on Hamilton's own recollections as well as those of her close associates, supplemented by contemporary press reviews and articles, and concludes with a chronology of the productions in which she performed as a touring actress based on confirmed dates and venues. This book «(...) is a fascinating and fantastic resource for current and future scholars of Hamilton's work, as well as those interested in the wider framework of (...) the theatre industry of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.» Dr. Naomi Paxton (School of Advanced Study, University of London) «With its documentation and assessment of Hamilton's touring career, (...) this well written and meticulously researched study provides an original contribution to theatre, dramatic, and reception history.» Prof. Dr. Rudolf Weiss (University of Vienna)  Nomi Erteschik-Shir, Lisa Rochman, "The Sound Patterns of Syntax" English | 2010 | ISBN: 0199556873 | PDF | pages: 438 | 1.9 mb In this book leading scholars address the issues surrounding the syntax-phonology interface. These principally concern whether the phonological component can influence syntax and if so how far and in what ways: such questions are a prominent component of current work on the biolinguistics of speech production and reception. The problematic relationship between syntax and phonology has long piqued the interest of syntacticians and phonologists: the connections between sound and structure have played a key role in generative grammar from its inception, initially relating to focus and the prosodic marking of constituent structure and more recently to word-order constraints. This book advances this work in a series of critical and interlinked presentations of the latest thinking and research. In doing so it draws on data from a wide range of languages, evidence from disordered language, and related work in language acquisition.  The Social-Emotional Learning Playbook: A Guide to Student and Teacher Well-Being English | 2022 | ISBN: 1071886762 | 200 Pages | EPUB (True) | 19 MB Social and emotional learning (SEL) is like any academic subject students learn in school-their learning expands and deepens, year after year.

The Slaves' Economy: Independent Production by Slaves in the Americas By Ira Berlin, Philip D. Morgan 1995 | 213 Pages | ISBN: 0714634360 | PDF | 8 MB Slaves achieved a degree of economic independence, producing food, tending cash crops, raising livestock, manufacturing furnished goods, marketing their own products, consuming and saving the proceeds and bequeathing property to their descendants. The editors of this volume contend that the legacy of slavery cannot be understood without a full appreciation of the slaves' economy.  The Silent Struggle: Taking Charge of ADHD in Adults, The Complete Guide to Accept Yourself, Embrace Neurodiversity, Master Your Moods, Improve Relationships, Stay Organized, and Succeed in Life by L. William Ross-Child M.L.C. English | September 12, 2022 | ISBN: 1803614668 | 160 pages | EPUB | 1.55 Mb Don't let the symptoms of A.D.H.D. pull you down.  Xenophon, Gregory A. McBrayer, "The Shorter Writings" English | 2018 | pages: 413 | ISBN: 1501718509, 1501718495 | PDF | 4,2 mb This book contains new, annotated, and literal yet accessible translations of Xenophon's eight shorter writings, accompanied by interpretive essays that reveal these works to be masterful achievements by a serious thinker of the first rank who raises important moral, political, and philosophical questions. Five of these shorter writings are unmistakably devoted to political matters. The Agesilaos is a eulogy of a Spartan king, and the Hiero, or the Skilled Tyrant recounts a searching dialogue between a poet and a tyrant. The Regime of the Lacedaemonians presents itself as a laudatory examination of what turns out to be an oligarchic regime of a certain type, while The Regime of the Athenians offers an unflattering picture of a democratic regime. Ways and Means, or On Revenues offers suggestions on how to improve the political economy of Athens' troubled democracy.  The Shakespeare Wars: Clashing Scholars, Public Fiascoes, Palace Coups By Ron Rosenbaum 2008 | 601 Pages | ISBN: 0812978366 | EPUB | 4 MB "[Ron Rosenbaum] is one of the most original journalists and writers of our time."-David Remnick In The Shakespeare Wars, Ron Rosenbaum gives readers an unforgettable way of rethinking the greatest works of the human imagination. As he did in his groundbreaking Explaining Hitler, he shakes up much that we thought we understood about a vital subject and renews our sense of excitement and urgency. He gives us a Shakespeare book like no other. Rather than raking over worn-out fragments of biography, Rosenbaum focuses on cutting-edge controversies about the true source of Shakespeare's enchantment and illumination-the astonishing language itself. How best to unlock the secrets of its spell? With quicksilver wit and provocative insight, Rosenbaum takes readers into the midst of fierce battles among the most brilliant Shakespearean scholars and directors over just how to delve deeper into the Shakespearean experience-deeper into the mind of Shakespeare. Was Shakespeare the one-draft wonder of Shakespeare in Love? Or was he rather-as an embattled faction of textual scholars now argues-a different kind of writer entirely: a conscientious reviser of his greatest plays? Must we then revise our way of reading, staging, and interpreting such works as Hamlet and King Lear? Rosenbaum pursues key partisans in these debates from the high tables of Oxford to a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop in a strip mall in the Deep South. He makes ostensibly arcane textual scholarship intensely seductive-and sometimes even explicitly sexual. At an academic "Pleasure Seminar" in Bermuda, for instance, he examines one scholar's quest to find an orgasm in Romeo and Juliet. Rosenbaum shows us great directors as Shakespearean scholars in their own right: We hear Peter Brook-perhaps the most influential Shakespearean director of the past century-disclose his quest for a "secret play" hidden within the Bard's comedies and dramas. We listen to Sir Peter Hall, founder of the Royal Shakespeare Company, as he launches into an impassioned, table-pounding fury while discussing how the means of unleashing the full intensity of Shakespeare's language has been lost-and how to restore it. Rosenbaum's hilarious inside account of "the Great Shakespeare 'Funeral Elegy' Fiasco," a man-versus-computer clash, illustrates the iconic struggle to define what is and isn't "Shakespearean." And he demonstrates the way Shakespearean scholars such as Harold Bloom can become great Shakespearean characters in their own right. The Shakespeare Wars offers a thrilling opportunity to engage with Shakespeare's work at its deepest levels. Like Explaining Hitler, this book is destined to revolutionize the way we think about one of the overwhelming obsessions of our time. |
