    Book Synopsis“[Gaiman’s] nonfiction is as compelling as his fiction, comics and screenplays.” — Los Angeles TimesA fascinating collection of nonfiction pieces on myriad topics observed in award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman’s probing, amusing, and distinctive style.Analytical yet playful, erudite yet accessible, these essays explore a broad range of interests and topics, including (but not limited to): authors past and present; music; storytelling; comics; bookshops; travel; fairy tales; America; inspiration; libraries; ghosts; and the touching title piece, which recounts the author’s experiences at the 2010 Academy Awards in Hollywood.As Neil explains, “This book is not ‘the complete nonfiction of Neil Gaiman.’ It is, instead, a motley bunch of speeches and articles, introductions and essays.

  • Listening In

    Edinburgh University Press Listening In

    Book SynopsisFrom the 1940s until the 1960s, Elizabeth Bowen wrote essays for radio broadcast, improvised interviews on the air, and gave public lectures. These public appearances were a trial for her because she had a pronounced stammer. She thought her recorded voice sounded alien, like the voice of a stranger. She complained that reading her own work on the air gave her lockjaw. Nevertheless, she was a spellbinding talker, as her many friends commented. Invited to university campuses in the US and the UK, she delivered important speeches on language, the fear of pleasure, character in fiction, the idea of American homes, and other topics. Inveterately curious, Bowen wrote about media as a personal and social force.Without fuss or pretension, she documents her love of cinema in the 1930s and the making of Lawrence of Arabia in the 1960s. Her first efforts for radio were adaptations of her own short stories and dramatizations of literary subjects. She quickly turned to commentary on culture, such as the beginning of the BBC Third Programme and the atmosphere in postwar Czechoslovakia. In this regard, the radio and the speech shape Bowen''s persona as a public intellectual capable of talking on numerous subjects with wit and general insight.During her lifetime, Bowen published a few of her broadcasts in collections of non-fiction. Listening In brings together a substantial number of her ungathered and unknown works for the first time.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments; Introduction; Plays for the Air: The Confidant; New Judgement: Elizabeth Bowen on Jane Austen; London Revisited: As Seen by Fanny Burney; A Year I Remember - 1918; Broadcasts: Book Talk - New and Recent Fiction; The Next Book; Impressions of Czechoslovakia; Mechanics of Writing; Books that Grow up with One; The Cult of Nostalgia; Coronation; On Not Rising to the Occasion; Writing about Rome; Ireland Today; The Daughters of Erin by Elizabeth Coxhead; An Essay in French; Panorama of the Novel; Speeches: Subject and the Time; The Poetic Element in Fiction; The Idea of Home; Language; The Fear of Pleasure; A Novelist and His Characters; Film and Radio: Things to Come; Why I Go to the Cinema; Third Programme; Lawrence of Arabia; Appreciations: Downe House Scrapbook 1907-1957; Alfred Knopf; Blanche Knopf; Questions: Confessions; The Cost of Letters; Portrait of a Woman Reading; Interviews and Conversations: The Living Image - 1; The Living Image - 2; How I Write: A Discussion with Glyn Jones; A Conversation between Elizabeth Bowen and Jocelyn Brooke; Do Women Think Like Men?; Do Conventions Matter?; Conversation on Traitors; Frankly Speaking: Interview, 1959; Notes; Works Cited;

In this second volume of Great Scottish Speeches, more than 60 speeches made by Scots or by others in Scotland have been drawn together, not necessarily for their heart-stopping eloquence (although many have that), but as a testament to their enduring historical significance.

    Book SynopsisThe most complete record ever assembled of the landmark Lincoln-Douglas debates, published on their 150th anniversaryTrade Review"Though based on the same basic transcripts that Lincoln and most subsequent scholars have used, Davis and Wilson have corrected the irregular paragraphing, arbitrary punctuation, and occasionally garbled transcriptions in the originals. The result is a definitive new edition that is far more readable and almost certainly more reliable."--The New York Review of Books"[Davis and Wilson] bring to light a multitude of linguistic, rhetorical, and contextual factors that influenced the formation of an authoritative printed text."--Journal of the Abraham Lincoln Association“Davis and Wilson have crafted a clear, unadulterated presentation on the debates by offering them in their entirety. . . . Recommended.”--Choice"One of the highlight Lincoln publications. . . . The first critical edition, parsing what the candidates actually said, regardless of the source, and clarifying and extending the speakers' words by correcting the originals' irregular paragraphing, arbitrary punctuation, and occasionally confused transcriptions."--American Heritage“This edition of the Abraham Lincoln—Stephen Douglas debates surpasses all previous editions and establishes the standard text for the foreseeable future. . . . Davis and Wilson’s edition is accessible and user-friendly.”--The Journal of American History"The words spoken over the course of these debates deserve every ounce of the critical attention that Davis and Wilson have lavished on them. . . . The most reliable text of the debates now available."--The Journal of Southern History"Davis and Wilson have given us an enduring work of scholarship, allowing these political speeches from a time long passed to be read as a work of literature or history."--Journal of Illinois History"The editors deserve high praise for producing an edition of the debates that is not only interesting but useful."--Fides et historia "This is an outstanding achievement of meticulous scholarship, one of supreme importance. This edition will serve as the standard reference work on the debates as well as the most accessible text for students and others encountering the debates for the first time."--David Zarefsky, author of Lincoln, Douglas, and Slavery: In the Crucible of Public Debate "This edition of the Lincoln-Douglas debates must certainly become the urtext of those great debates. Along with the useful introductions offered for each of the seven debates, Davis and Wilson have created a fuller version of the debaters' words--even down to the heckling of the crowds--than has ever been available before. No Lincoln library can afford to be without it; no one with even a passing interest in the history of American politics can afford not to read it."--Allen C.

  • Lincolns Speeches Reconsidered

    Johns Hopkins University Press Lincolns Speeches Reconsidered

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisOriginally published in 2005. Throughout the fractious years of the mid-nineteenth century, Abraham Lincoln's speeches imparted reason and guidance to a troubled nation. Lincoln's words were never universally praised. But they resonated with fellow legislators and the public, especially when he spoke on such volatile subjects as mob rule, temperance, the Mexican War, slavery and its expansion, and the justice of a war for freedom and union. In this close examination, John Channing Briggs reveals how the process of studying, writing, and delivering speeches helped Lincoln develop the ideas with which he would so profoundly change history. Briggs follows Lincoln's thought process through a careful chronological reading of his oratory, ranging from Lincoln's 1838 speech to the Springfield Lyceum to his second inaugural address. Recalling David Herbert Donald's celebrated revisionist essays (Lincoln Reconsidered, 1947), Briggs's study provides students of Lincoln with new insight into Trade ReviewRemarkably, Briggs . . .

Zall, Journal of the Abraham Lincoln AssociationLincoln's Speeches Reconsidered does a finer job than any of the other commentaries on Lincoln's speeches, and its reading will repay richly the serious student of Lincoln and of American political ideas in general.—Allen Carl Guelzo, Indiana Magazine of HistoryJohn Channing Briggs has thought long, hard, and well about the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, and he has produced a book that deserves to be read.—Stewart Winger, Register of the Kentucky Historical SocietyBriggs enriches our understanding of Lincoln's pre-presidential speeches.—David Zarefsky, Rhetoric ReviewA valuable intellectual history of Lincoln's speeches and developing thought on the issues of democracy, slavery, and self-government.—Brian Dirck, American StudiesTable of ContentsAcknowledgments Note on Sources Introduction.

  • The Rhetoric of Mao Zedong: Transforming China

    University of South Carolina Press The Rhetoric of Mao Zedong: Transforming China

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisMao Zedong fundamentally transformed China from a Confucian society characterized by hierarchy and harmony into a socialist state guided by communist ideologies of class struggle and radicalization. It was a transformation made possible largely by Mao’s rhetorical ability to attract, persuade, and mobilize millions of Chinese people. Xing Lu’s book, Rhetoric of Mao Zedong, analyzes Mao’s speeches and writings over a span of sixty years, tracing the sources and evolution of Mao’s discourse, analyzing his skills as a rhetor and mythmaker, and assessing his symbolic power and continuing presence in contemporary China. Lu observes that Mao’s rhetorical legacy has been commoditized, culturally consumed, and politically appropriated since his death.Applying both Western rhetorical theories and Chinese rhetorical concepts to reach a more nuanced and sophisticated understanding of his rhetorical legacy, Lu shows how Mao employed a host of rhetorical appeals and strategies drawn from Chinese tradition and how he interpreted the discourse of Marxism-Leninism to serve foundational themes of his message. She traces the historical contexts in which these themes, his philosophical orientations, and his political views were formed and how they transformed China and Chinese people. Lu also examines how certain ideas are promoted, modified, and appropriated in Mao’s rhetoric. Mao’s appropriation of Marxist theory of class struggle, his campaigns of transforming common people into new communist advocates, his promotion of Chinese nationalism, and his stand on China’s foreign policy all contributed to and were responsible for reshaping Chinese thought patterns, culture, and communication behaviors.
