Lenhart directly confronts and deeply analyzes these questions while offering readers his clear, informative discussion."-Lorenzo ThomasThe Stamp of Class explores the nature of reading poetry in the context of class and its themes and sheds new light on how this important yet little-heralded subject affects the poet's life and work.While numerous works have taken up the question of race and gender as they relate to literary creation, this is the first book of its kind to probe the interplay between class and American poetry. Author Gary Lenhart considers poetry and class across a wide variety of time periods and poetic trends and reflects on a range of influential poets from the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries. The essays in The Stamp of Class deal with the question of class as reflected in the works of Tracie Morris, Tillie Olsen, Melvin Tolson, William Carlos Williams, Walt Whitman, and others. The work is rooted in the author's own experiences as a working-class poet and teacher and is the result of more than a decade of exploration.Poet and scholar Gary Lenhart is Lecturer in English at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. His most recent books of poetry are Father and Son Night, Light Heart, and One at a Time. His essays and reviews have appeared in numerous magazines and journals, including the American Poetry Review, American Book Review, and Exquisite Corpse. ![]() The Stagecraft and Performance of Roman Comedy By C. W. Marshall 2006 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0521861616 | PDF | 3 MB A comprehensive survey of Roman theatrical production, this book examines all aspects of Roman performance practice, and provides fresh insights on the comedies of Plautus and Terence. Following an introductory chapter on the experience of Roman comedy from the perspective of Roman actors and the Roman audience, addressing among other things the economic concerns of putting on a play in the Roman republic, subsequent chapters provide detailed studies of troupe size and the implications for role assignment, masks, stage action, music, and improvisation in the plays of Plautus and Terence. Marshall argues that Roman comedy was raw comedy, much more rough-and-ready than its Hellenistic precursors, but still fully conscious of its literary past. The consequences of this lead to fresh conclusions concerning the dramatic structure of Roman comedy, and a clearer understanding of the relationship between the plays-as-text and the role of improvisation during performance. ![]() The Stage Life of Props (Theater: Theory Text Performance) By Andrew Sofer 2003 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 047209839X | PDF | 1 MB In The Stage Life of Props, Andrew Sofer aims to restore to certain props the performance dimensions that literary critics are trained not to see, then to show that these props are not just accessories, but time machines of the theater.Using case studies that explore the Eucharistic wafer on the medieval stage, the bloody handkerchief on the Elizabethan stage, the skull on the Jacobean stage, the fan on the Restoration and early eighteenth-century stage, and the gun on the modern stage, Andrew Sofer reveals how stage props repeatedly thwart dramatic convention and reinvigorate theatrical practice.While the focus is on specific objects, Sofer also gives us a sweeping history of half a millennium of stage history as seen through the device of the prop, revealing that as material ghosts, stage props are a way for playwrights to animate stage action, question theatrical practice, and revitalize dramatic form.Andrew Sofer is Assistant Professor of English, Boston College. He was previously a stage director. ![]() The Stage 3 Kidney Disease Diet Book for Seniors: A Comprehensive Guide to Nutrient Dense Meals for Promoting Wellness and Managing Chronic Decline in Renal Function in Older Adults by Brenda Higgs English | April 28, 2025 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0F6VM1HW4 | PDF | 14 Mb ❓ARE YOU STRUGGLING TO MANAGE KIDNEY HEALTH WHILE SEEKING A DIET THAT STILL OFFERS DELICIOUS AND VARIED MEALS? ![]() The Sponsorship Game: How Brands Turn Football into a Marketing Goldmine: Inside the Business of Jersey Deals, Kit Makers, Gambling Ads, and Global ROI (The Business of Football Series) by ND Publishing English | October 13, 2025 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0FW3Z5QF6 | 194 pages | EPUB | 0.52 Mb Why do brands spend millions to put a logo on a football shirt? ![]() The Spiritual Executive: How to Thrive In Every Area of Life by Ammanuel Santa Anna English | December 15, 2023 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0CQGNWRW5 | 262 pages | EPUB | 1.53 Mb In "The Spiritual Executive," renowned expert and certified life coach, as well as an expert certified executive coach, Ammanuel Santa Anna, shares his profound insights and transformational strategies that have empowered executives to not only run global businesses but also to thrive in every area of their lives. ![]() Byung-Chul Han, "The Spirit of Hope" English | ISBN: 1509565191 | 2024 | 111 pages | EPUB | 2 MB A spectre is haunting us: fear.

Pavlinov, "The Species Problem" English | ISBN: 1032386819 | 2023 | 274 pages | AZW3 | 1288 KB The general notion of species is one of the most fundamental in biology. But an idea of species is also one of the most persistent unresolved obsessions of biologists, philosophers and theoreticians. This new book investigates the multifaceted problem species as a "conceptual envelope" of that notion. Contemporary conceptualists and evolutionary epistemology allow for a fresh look by analyzing the framework of history viewed as changes ordered by changing philosophical-scientific contexts. In this analysis, the species problem is characterized in a pluralistic non-trivial manner, in contrast to a more monistic "accepted view." |
