Ohio University Press Mirages The Unexpurgated Diary of Ana239s Nin
Book SynopsisMirages opens at the dawn of World War II, when Anaïs Nin fled Paris, where she lived for fifteen years with her husband, banker Hugh Guiler, and ends in 1947 when she meets the man who would be “the One,” the lover who would satisfy her insatiable hunger for connection.Trade Review“The celebrated diarist, novelist and electric personality reappears with all the fire of her eroticism in pages untouched by a Bowdler or a Puritan…. Readers will find Nin a most entertaining companion—her multiple simultaneous relationships with men, her gleefully graphic descriptions of sex acts…. In one late entry, Nin complains, mildly: ‘My world is so large I get lost in it’; readers will do the same—and gratefully so.” * Kirkus Reviews *“Anaïs Nin (1903–1977) is not only one of history’s most dedicated diarists, but also a vocal expounder of the idea that keeping a diary enhances your creativity…. Mirages (is) revelatory in its entirety.” * Brain Pickings *“Exquisitely nuanced, ornate, delicate and raw, endlessly evocative and provocative. Nobody does it better.” * Washington Independent Review of Books *“(Mirages)…is a highly personal account of Nin's inner life and relationships…” * Choice *“The reader benefits from (Nin’s) thoughtful, unique perspective on America in the 1940s, as she reinvented herself as a first-class feminist, entrepreneur and a woman with an incredibly erotic daily life, told through sensual and graphic details…. Anaïs Nin’s diaries have become the standard for personal diaries only a few writers could match. The curious reader, seeking graphic details of Nin’s encounters with intimacy won’t be disappointed.” * Blog Critics *“Mirages underscores the dreamlike mindscape of a woman who is fascinating because she is so human—who writes about love and sexuality with a frankness that makes the reader feel intimate with her…. (Mirages introduces) a new generation of readers to a broader, more complete picture of her complicated mind and evocative prose. And Nin’s diaries will remain popular not just because of their honest and lurid sexuality, but because of what that honesty demonstrates: the universality of feelings rarely exposed.” * The Daily Beast *"At times desperate and suicidal, (Nin) finds life more fulfilling when it conforms to her dreams—a series of mirages she conjures to avoid reality, the horrors of war, and an America she finds abysmally immature…. Nin fans will embrace the book's emotional intensity and sensuality.” * Publishers Weekly *“The fifth volume in the unexpurgated series that is gradually replacing the earlier, sanitized edition of Nin’s famous diary begins with her 1939 flight from war-shadowed Paris to New York and tracks her struggles to adapt to America and reconfigure her writing life…. Nin—calculating, theatrical, and prodigious—provides cascading insights into the traumas that made her a ‘demon of intensity’ determined to turn her life into a literary work of unique psychological revelation.” * Booklist *“This fifth in a series of unexpurgated diary volumes by American novelist and short story and erotica writer Nin (House of Incest; Delta of Venus) covers a period longer than any other volume to date…. Nin's life was steeped in secrecy, lies, passion, longing, and introspection, perhaps the most so during this period. Of the unexpurgated diary volumes thus far, this one benefits the most from full disclosure, illustrating the greater extents of Nin's fragility and ferocity and revealing dimensions of the writer that deeply enrich the reading of her work.” * Library Journal *“The unpublished diary of Anaïs Nin has long been a legend of the literary world.” * The New Yorker *“In Mirages, she stands before us, stripped bare, unmasked, triumphant, among her cast of sacred and noires bêtes (Gore Vidal, Henry Miller, et al.) now revealed, by name, as who and what they were to her. Mirages exposes, reveals and humanizes Nin as much more than the sum of heavily edited parts.”“Henry Miller called her a ‘masterpiece’ and the greatest ‘fabulist’ he had ever known. Her brother Joaquin referred to her as a ‘steel hummingbird.’ As for me, she was a myth in her own time, the Scheherazade of the diary genre, and epitomizes Harold Bloom’s observation in Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, to wit, ‘Romance, literary and human, depends on partial or imperfect knowledge.’”“Mirages provides a treasure of newly disclosed Nin sentiments. Nin transcends self-reflection and offers a glimpse into what women feel but are rarely able to articulate, whether about daily experiences, or love gained and lost. With intense passion, her powerfully seductive prose shares insights, observations, and confessions about the human psyche. Highly recommended.“

Stanford University Press The Queer German Cinema
Book SynopsisThis ambitious and pioneering work rewrites German cinematic history queerly.

Stanford University Press Art as a Social System Meridian Crossing
Book SynopsisThis is an analysis of art as a social and perceptual system by one of Germany's leading social theorist of the late 20th century. It is intended to represent an intellectual step in discussions of art and an important advance in systems theory.Trade Review"Art as a Social System deserves to be read as a brilliant synthesis of every major philosophy of art, from Baumgarten to Kristeva, and as an ambitious attempt to understand art history in its entirety. . . . It seems inevitable that North American academics in the humanities will soon confront this challenging work."—Literary Research / Recherche Litteraire"Thus, what is most interesting about Luhmann's view of art is also what is most interesting about his general theory: its sophisticated and elaborate explorations in the evolutionary development of the media of communication, which are perhaps unparalleled in contemporary theory."—American Journal of Sociology"Overall this is a fascinating, stimulating and thought-provoking book not always in ways that may have been intended by the author."—John Danvers"This book is a pleasure to read. It is literate, informed, unpretentious, and patient...The book is a spectacular example of one anthropologist's selection of the technical world as an object of study after generations of sociocultural anthropologists' bias against the same."—ISISTable of ContentsContents 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Stanford University Press The Zohar
Book SynopsisThis is a translation from the critical Aramaic text of the "Zohar". This volume, together with volume two, covers more than half of the "Zohar's" commentary on the "Book of Genesis" (through Genesis 32:3).Trade Review"Slow and meticulous study of the original text along with Matt's brilliant translation and extensive commentary will prove ultimately rewarding. The Pritzker Edition should find its place in any serious Judaica library together with all of the other major texts of Judaism."—Paul Howard Hamburg, Associaition of Jewish Libaries"[Matt's] text is the most authoritative English translation and the only English edition that goes directly to the source, unearthing many of the major surviving manuscripts of the original language."—Library Journal"Daniel Matt's translation of, and commentary to, the Zohar is a powerfully poetic rendition of this spiritual masterpiece. It is a book to be studied, not read. As one who has pondered and taught the Zohar for many years, I found Matt's interpretation learned, insightful, and very beautiful. Often, his translation and commentary changed my understanding of passages I thought I had already mastered."—David R. Blumenthal, Journal of the American Academy of Religion"Pinchas of Koretz once said that the Zohar saved his soul, and a great many other Jews down through the centuries would agree. The Zohar was considered by many pious Jews to be part of the holy triad by which they lived: the Bible, the Talmud, and the Zohar. And so it is good to have it accesible to a new generation of Jews, who will learn much from it, if they are willing to confront it, to wrestle with it, and to engage in the study of it with mind and soul."—Rabbi Jack Riemer"At last, we have an authoritative version of one of the most significant, misunderstood, brilliant, difficult texts in the whole of the Jewish tradition, a translation that fulfills the wishes and scholars and seekers alike."—The Forward"...Thanks to Matt's achievement the English reader is able, for the first time, to appreciate the depth and complexity of this innovative and, at the same time, canonical mystical text."—Journal of Jewish Studies"While translation may be an art, it can also be genuine scholarship of the highest order. . . . Restoring the Zohar to our comprehension, these volumes are a monumental contribution to the history of Jewish thought."—Koret Jewish Book Award,Philosophy and Thought, 2003-2004,The Zohar: Pritzker Edition, Volumes I and II"A powerfully poetic rendition of this spiritual masterpiece. . . . Matt's new Zohar is a classic already in its first two volumes. The edition alone, or the translation alone, or the commentary alone would be a major contribution. The whole is a work of art."—Journal of the American Academy of Religion"More than a translation, this projected twelve-volume Pritzker edition amounts to an encyclopedia of the Zohar and is set to become one of the single most important contributions to the topic in teh English-speaking world."—Times Liiterary Supplement"Daniel Matt's landmark translation of the Zohar from the original tongues into English is a tour de force of scholarship and linguistic imagination—in the service of heaven."—Laurance Wieder, University of Virginia in CharlottesvilleTable of Contents@fmct:Contents @toc4:Foreword iii @tocca:Margot Pritzker @toc4:Translator's Introduction iii @tocca:Daniel C.

Pye, Foreign Affairs"Zhao's study provides us with a rich and empirically supported nomenclature through which to describe the phenotypical expressions of Chinese nationalism."—H-Net"Suisheng Zhao adds this thorough and illuminating study to his previous work on the People's Republic of China....Throughout the book Zhao shows an admirable breadth of understanding of both Western and Chinese writings about nationalism."—China Review International"In this very significant addition to the scholarly literature on Chinese nationalism, Suisheng Zhao provides a lucid and detailed history of the emergence of the idea of the Chinese nation....A Nation State by Construction is an important book. It is based on a wealth of research, and cogently argued."—Asian Studies Review

In a tour de force of investigative scholarship, Devon Mihesuah offers an accurate depiction of Christie and the times in which he lived.Trade ReviewIn contrast to the century-old popular, usually exaggerated story of outlawry in the Cherokee Nation, Devon Mihesuah presents an accurate historical account of Ned Christie. This book will be a refreshing read for those already familiar with Christie's life, and all will find it an intriguing story well told."" - Daniel F.

Mihesuah's dedication to research and thoughtful writing leave no doubt that her telling of Ned Christie's story will last long into the future."" - Roy Hamilton, Historian for the Cherokee Nation""Mihesuah has written an intriguing and important book, in which she tracks Ned Christie's life and legend. Like a master detective, she skillfully reexamines it all and exposes numerous fabrications, half-truths, and hearsays. Never losing sight of Christie and those associated with him - friends, kin, and enemies alike - her book exposes injustices, prejudices, and conflicts that have impacted Cherokee and Indigenous lives more broadly and that continue to resonate today."" - Native American and Indigenous Studies

Book SynopsisThis well-crafted and engaging biography of Augustus Garrett and his wife, Eliza Clark Garrett, tells two equally compelling stories: an ambitious man's struggle to succeed and the remarkable spiritual journey of a woman attempting to overcome tragedy.Trade ReviewIn telling the story of Augustus and Eliza Garrett, Charles H. Cosgrove has done an excellent job pulling together the slender threads of antebellum Chicago history. More than just a biography of an early mayor and businessman, this history illuminates the importance of evangelical religion in the social and cultural life of early Chicago." —Theodore J. Karamanski, author of Rally 'Round the Flag: Chicago and the Civil War"Cosgrove focuses on two individuals who shaped and reshaped the diverse worlds of nineteenth-century Chicago political, religious, business, and educational life. Readable, enlightening, engaging, and instructive, the dual biography invites the reader into the fabric and feel of early nineteenth-century urban life. [Many] will appreciate greatly the careful attention to Eliza Garrett’s role in the founding of the institution that bears her name and her struggles with controlling clergy." —Russell E. Richey, coauthor of The Methodist Experience in America: A Sourcebook"Grounded in the development of Protestantism in Chicago and especially in the crucial role that Eliza Garrett played in founding Methodist institutions, this thoughtful look at an early Chicago couple who found economic success in the city's rise reminds us of just how many stories of early Chicago are yet to be told." —Ann Durkin Keating, author of The World of Juliette Kinzie: Chicago before the Fire"Cosgrove captures the personal, economic, and religious struggles of a unique nineteenth-century American couple. Steeped in original research, Cosgrove’s book not only brings the sights and sounds of Old Chicago back to life but also allows us to see how the Garretts formed a unique partnership, leading one to a career in early Chicago politics and the other to become the first woman in the United States to found a theological seminary." —Christopher H.

Book SynopsisThrough an examination of the expressive arts of needlework, painting, and writing, Pens and Needles offers insights into women's lives and, in its final chapters, into literary texts such as Shakespeare's Othello and Cymbeline and Mary Sidney Wroth's Urania.Trade Review"Susan Frye's book is a beautiful and powerful contribution to scholarship on early modern women's material culture. . . . No other book covers such ground; Pens and Needles is an invaluable resource for art historians, social historians, literary critics, and anyone interested in the material world that early modern women made." * American Historical Review *"Susan Frye's book is most fascinating in drawing out the histories and texts, both written and sewn, of less well-known women, and showing that they saw their needlework as equally articulate, valuable, and artful as their words." * TLS *"Susan Frye's meticulously researched, beautifully illustrated, and brilliantly titled Pens and Needles makes a significant addition to a growing subfield in early modern gender studies: the expressive arts of women's needlework, which Frye sees as a mode of both female self-fashioning and creative communication." * Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 *"Frye beautifully succeeds in aligning the different material practices, especially in the surprising discovery of a new portrait of Mary Queen of Scots embroidered by Bess of Hardwick." * Maureen Quilligan, Duke University *"No other book analyzes the combination of visual, textile, and textual modes in relation to early modern women as this one does. Frye draws on a vast range of sources, from comments on the minutiae of Shakespeare's plays, to contemporary translations of the poems of Mary Stuart, to a range of theorists including Michel de Certeau, Marcel Mauss and Karl Marx, to make a complex and convincing argument about women's consciousness and work." * Ann Rosalind Jones, Smith College *Table of ContentsList of Illustrations Note on Spelling Preface Introduction Chapter 1.

There is a great deal to admire and ponder [in this book]." * The Medieval Review *"The Beguines of Medieval Paris is an informative and lively book that will make readers see these women not as the hypocritical figures of the satirical tradition nor as the targets of hostile papal pronouncements but as active and charitable women who carved out an important place for themselves in a city replete with religious orders and institutions." * Catholic Historical Review *"Tanya Stabler Miller presents the reader with an elegant, thoroughly researched and persuasively argued study, providing invaluable insight into this urban female community but also making an informed addition to the growing understanding of Later Medieval spirituality more broadly." * French History *"This lovely book engages with the histories of work, women, and spirituality, as well as with urban and intellectual history. . . . Excellent." * Journal of Interdisciplinary History *"This is a wonderful new study of the beguines who lived in Paris and enjoyed considerable public respect, especially by King Louis IX. . . . Tanya Stabler Miller provides a detailed discussion of the available sources and illustrates through a variety of approaches how and why the beguines could establish themselves so well against all protests and condemnations by the theologians and clerics." * Mediaevistik *"Tanya Stabler Miller writes with intelligence and clarity. The contributions she makes to our understanding of how female spirituality was connected to female labor are revelatory." * William Chester Jordan, Princeton University *"An important and rich case study. In telling detail, The Beguines of Medieval Paris sheds light on the broader contours of this religious movement." * Walter Simons, Dartmouth College *Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1.

University of Pennsylvania Press Race and the Making of American Political Science
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Blatt has provided a service to intellectual historians. This well-documented and clearly written book achieves its objectives by squarely positioning racist assumptions at the heart of political science's origins in the modern academy." * The Journal of American History *"[N]ot only a historical work that traces the foundations of racialism within the discipline of political science but is also a compelling account about the disavowal and continued importance of race in politics...those trained in political science (undergraduates, graduates) and those teaching political thought would do well to stock Race and the Making of American Political Science on their bookshelves. " * Journal of African American History *"Jessica Blatt's groundbreaking book explores the leading thinkers who shaped the foundation of the political science discipline . . . [T]his book makes an important contribution to our understanding of the merger between science and politics. It makes a convincing argument that racialism and its various manifestations (White supremacy, colonialism/neocolonialism, imperialism,evolution, and racial psychometrics) have been instrumental to shaping political science." * History of Education Quarterly *"Jessica Blatt has delivered a masterful account of the illiberal fiber inherent in American political reality. That is, how a country committed to democratic equality and freedom has invested so much ink, blood, and money in ideas of racial difference to produce a conjoined history of unfreedoms and massive inequalities. She brings history to life on the page in her compelling telling of the ways that key intellectuals shaped the early field of political science through varied but sustained commitments to normalized white supremacy. Blatt has opened the way for a watershed reflective moment in her field-and beyond." * Duana Fullwiley, Stanford University *"Race and the Making of American Political Science is one of those rare books that makes an important scholarly contribution and a significant intervention in civic discourse. In examining carefully how racialist ideologies shaped the first half century of American political science, Blatt also provides a richly theorized and historically grounded account of what 'race' is as an ideology of essential human difference, how it has evolved, and how its premises continue to shape academic and popular discourses. This book is a must read for anyone interested in the history of the social sciences and anyone concerned with making sense of race ideology and how it works in our society." * Adolph Reed, Jr., University of Pennsylvania *"In an exhilarating story, which never flags in energy or excitement, Jessica Blatt shows how foundational racism and concepts of race were to American political science, not just at the beginning but in its heyday as a social science. A pioneering work exploding with insights and discoveries on every page, her book is also a cautionary tale for today, when academics and journalists increasingly turn to race as a category of political explanation, unwittingly repeating the maneuvers that Blatt so vividly documents and describes." * Corey Robin, Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center *"Jessica Blatt has written a fine book. She is correct that race is a dimension of disciplinary history that has not been seriously explored. Everyone notices the founding generation's Teutonism, but none of the major historical studies have taken it seriously as a species of racialism or examined its lingering consequences." * Dorothy Ross, Johns Hopkins University *"Race and the Making of American Political Science illuminates key elements in the past of American political science-the founding of the discipline around a core racialist scheme and the subsequent evolution of ideas about race within the discipline as practitioners adapted to the rise of U.S. power in the world." * Howard Brick, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor *Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1.

University of Pennsylvania Press Conversion and Narrative Reading and Religious
Book SynopsisSzpiech draws on medieval Christian, Jewish, and Muslim polemics to investigate the role of narrative in the representation of conversion. By investigating conversion not as individual experience but as expression of communal visions of history, he shows how the narratives dramatize the conflict of ideas in disputational writing.Trade Review"In this book Ryan Szpiech has brought us a cogently argued, rigorously researched, and thoughtfully constructed theory of conversion narrative in the Middle Ages. His overall argument is compellingly simple: individual narratives of conversion are as much about the histories of religions as they are about the histories of individuals. . . . Szpiech demonstrates this thesis in a series of rigorous, close readings of conversion narratives written by Jews, Christians, and Muslims in an impressive range of languages." * Speculum *"This wide-ranging, erudite study brings a welcome new perspective to the subject of medieval interfaith polemics. . . . Szpiech's impressive analytical and linguistic skills have allowed him to produce a work of singular value, which will undoubtedly open up new lines of research for the future." * Catholic Historical Review *"Szpiech's insightful reading of a variety of conversion narratives produced within the Abrahamic religions between the ninth and the sixteenth century has produced this densely textured and important book which launches the study of conversion into new territory." * The Medieval Review *"A remarkably learned, ambitious, and important study. Conversion and Narrative will make a signal contribution to medieval studies in general, but more particularly to literary studies, intellectual history, and religious studies." * Thomas E. Burman, University of Tennessee *"This impressive book bridges the fields of religious studies and comparative literature in order to produce close and sophisticated readings of conversion narratives from the later Middle Ages across a broad array of languages (Latin, Castilian/Catalan, Arabic, and Hebrew). Very few scholars can move so gracefully among these languages and areas of scholarship while offering insights from the minutiae of philological analysis to high literary theory, reflections on the nature of religion, and notions of the self." * Jonathan Decter, Brandeis University *Table of ContentsNote on Names, Titles, Citations, and Transliteration Introduction: Conversion and History 1.

The Catholic University of America Press IrishAmerican Autobiography Athletes Priests
Book SynopsisIs there still a distinct Irish identity in America? This highly original survey says yes, though it’s often an indirect one. Opening a new window on the meanings of Irishness over the twentieth century, this work also reveals how Catholicism, so key to the identity of earlier generations of Irish Americans, has also evolved.Trade Review“In Irish-American Autobiography James Silas Rogers engages with more than a century of Irish-American nonfiction. Meticulously researched, intelligently orchestrated, and beautifully written, Rogers’s study—in its deep engagement with the many-sidedness of the Irish experience in the United States—brings into the spotlight the lives of many well and not-so-well-known men and women whose lives and writings allow us to understand the Irish diaspora more thoroughly. Some of his subjects are well-known—Jackie Gleason, Frank McCourt, and Michael Patrick McDonald—while others represent important acts of recovery. This is a wise, informative, excellent, and a vital contribution to both Irish and American Studies.” —Eamonn Wall, author of Writing the Irish West: Ecologies and Traditions.

Rutgers University Press Women Artists on the Leading Edge Visual Arts of
Book SynopsisThis book explores the achievements of a group of young women artists who learned about the New Art through an extraordinary faculty of innovators at Douglass College. New Art rejected the dominance of Abstract Expressionism, advocating that art should be based on everyday life and that “anything can be art.”Trade Review"Joan Marter’s Women Artists on the Leading Edge: Visual Arts at Douglass College is a significant account from an actual participant of the pioneering art program for women students developed at Rutgers after WW II. Inspired in part by the inventive curriculum initiated at Black Mountain College, as well as the avant-garde course taught by composer John Cage at the New School from 1956 to 1961, the multi-media agenda advanced at Douglass College (where many faculty were associated with Pop and Fluxus), was further underscored by an impressive roster of activist campus guests. Marter’s handsome book, including a set of outstanding interviews with notable Douglass alumnae such as Alice Aycock and Mimi Smith, appropriately redresses this historical imbalance, both detailing and celebrating the decisive role Douglass played as an incubator for artistic innovation by women." -- Ellen G. Landau * author of Lee Krasner: A Catalogue Raisonné, Reading Abstract Expressionism: Context and Critique, *"Even before second-wave feminism became a recognized social and political movement in the early 1960s, professors at New Jersey's Douglass College for women recognized the need for art students to become acquainted with some of the most cutting-edge ideas of the time. At long last, the extraordinary history of how this college fostered the growth of such celebrated artists as Alice Aycock, Jackie Winsor, and Joan Snyder is being thoroughly recounted by esteemed art historian Joan Marter, who analyzes Douglass's important contributions to the arts at Rutgers University, where she taught from 1977 to 2016." -- Robert Hobbs * author of Alice Aycock, Sculpture and Projects *"In Women Artists on the Leading Edge, Joan Marter tells the fascinating account of how Douglass College's visual artists' receptivity to the explosive spirit of experimentation in the 1950s and 1960s had a profound impact both on students and contemporary art. Inviting renowned artistic pioneers to teach, visit, or perform galvanized students' artistic ambitions. Dr. Marter's narrative about Douglass College, to which she made many contributions, is engrossing as cultural history. This book's recollections of creative growth by former students forms an institutional history of the confluence of interdisciplinary arts, feminist values, and innovative pedagogy in stimulating achievements by women" -- Suzaan Boettger * author of Earthworks, Art and the Landscape of the Sixties *Table of ContentsIntroduction Part 1 Visual Arts Faculty at Douglas College Interview with Geoffrey Hendricks Interview with Roy Lichtenstein Part 2 Alice Aycock Loretta Dunkelman Kirsten Kraa Frances Tannenbaum Kuehn Linda Lindroth Marion Munk Rita Myers Mimi Smith Joan Snyder Ann Tsubota Jackie Winsor Interview with Alice Aycock Interview with Letty Lou Eisenhauer Interview with Mimi Smith Part 3 The Women Artists Series at Douglass College Mary H.
