What will these people do? What choices are left for them, and what choices have been taken away? Whom and what can they trust? Novelist Moodyknown for her vivid portrayals of complicated characters and relationships in novels such as Best Friends and Sometimes Mineweaves together cataclysmic events and the most intimate of human emotions to create a future that seems achingly real.

WORLD WAR I NAVAL HISTORY

The compelling experiences of the U.S. Navys only World War I Flying Ace

Hero of the Angry Sky

The World War I Diary and Letters of David S. Ingalls, Americas First Naval Ace
Congratulations to Ohio University Press and Geoffrey Rossano for performing the admirable service of editing the diary of the United States Navys first bona fide ace, David S. Ingalls. Students of history and, especially, of naval aviation will find this a valuable resource and a window into the bygone age at the time of the Great War. Rossano informs Ingallss own words with valuable commentary and astute editing. Buffs and scholars alike will enjoy the book immensely.
John T. Kuehn, associate professor of military history, U.S. Army Command and General Staff College

Edited by Geoffrey L. Rossano

With a foreword by William F. Trimble
Hero of the Angry Sky draws on the unpublished diaries, correspondence, informal memoir, and other personal documents of the U.S. Navys only flying ace of World War I to tell his unique story. David S. Ingalls was a prolific writer, and virtually all of his World War I aviation career is covered, from the teenagers early, informal training in Palm Beach, Florida, to his exhilarating and terrifying missions over the Western Front. This edited collection of Ingallss writing details the career of the U.S. Navys most successful combat flyer from that conflict. While Ingallss wartime experiences are compelling at a personal level, they also illuminate the larger, but still relatively unexplored, realm of early U.S. naval aviation. Ingallss engaging correspondence offers a rare personal view of the evolution of naval aviation during the war, both at home and abroad. There are no published biographies of navy combat flyers from this period, and just a handful of diaries and letters in print, the last appearing more than twenty years ago. Ingallss extensive letters and diaries add significantly to historians store of available material. David S. Ingalls (18991985) was the son of railroad magnate Albert S. Ingalls and Jane Taft, niece of President William Howard Taft. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, he began his studies at Yale in 1916, only to leave to join the First Yale Unit, becoming a member of the U.S. Naval Reserve Flying Corps. After the War, he returned to Yale and then received an LLD from Harvard. During his long and illustrious career, he worked as a lawyer, a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, and Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Air) in 1929. A graduate of Tufts University and the University of North Carolina, Geoffrey Rossano is an instructor of history at the Salisbury School in Salisbury, Connecticut. He is the author/editor of The Price of Honor: The World War One Letters of Naval Aviator Kenneth MacLeish; Stalking the U-Boat: U.S. Naval Aviation in Europe during World War I (winner of the 2010 Roosevelt Prize in Naval History); and Built to Serve: Connecticuts National Guard Armories, 18651940, as well as numerous articles and papers in the fields of maritime, military, and aviation history.

Spear of the Nation (Umkhonto weSizwe)

Janet Cherry
Umkhonto weSizwe, Spear of the Nation, was arguably the last of the great liberation armies of the twentieth centurybut it never got to march triumphant into Pretoria. MKas it was knownwas the armed wing of the African National Congress, South Africas liberation movement, that challenged the South African apartheid government. A small group of revolutionaries committed to the seizure of power, MK discovered its principal members engaged in negotiated settlement with the enemy and was disbanded soon after. The history of MK is one of paradox and contradiction, of successes and failures. In this short study, which draws widely on the personal experiences ofand commentary byMK soldiers, Janet Cherry offers a new and nuanced account of the Spear of the Nation. She presents in broad outline the various stages of MKs thirty-year history, considers the difficult strategic and moral problems the revolutionary army faced, and argues that its operations are likely to be remembered as a just war conducted with considerable restraint. Janet Cherry is a human rights activist, researcher, and academic who teaches at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. She has written and published on the history of the liberation struggle for the South African Democratic Education Trust.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF RIGHTS IN SOUTH AFRICAS

SPEA R OF THE NATIO N

Lindy Wilson
Steve Biko inspired a generation of black South Africans to claim their true identity and refuse to be a part of their own oppression. Through his example, he demonstrated fearlessness and self-esteem, and he led a black student movement countrywide that challenged and thwarted the culture of fear perpetuated by the apartheid regime. He paid the highest price with his life. The brutal circumstances of his death shocked the world and helped isolate his oppressors. This short biography of Biko shows how fundamental he was to the reawakening and transformation of South Africa in the second half of the twentieth century and just how relevant he remains. Bikos understanding of black consciousness as a weapon of change could not be more relevant today to restore people to their full humanity. As an important historical study, this books main sources were unique interviews done in 1989before the end of apartheidby the author with Bikos acquaintances, many of whom have since died. Lindy Wilson is an independent South African documentary filmmaker and writer. Her films include Crossroads, Last Supper in Hortsley Street, and Robben Island Our University.

Epidemics
The Story of South Africas Five Most Lethal Human Diseases Howard Phillips
This is the first history of epidemics in South Africa, lethal episodes that significantly shaped this society over three centuries. Focusing on five devastating diseases between 1713 and todaysmallpox, bubonic plague, Spanish influenza, polio, and HIV/AIDSthe book probes their origins, their catastrophic courses, and their consequences in both the short and long terms. The impacts of these epidemics ranged from the demographicthe Spanish flu, for instance, claimed the lives of 6 percent of the countrys population in six weeksto the political, the social, the economic, the spiritual, the psychological, and the cultural. Moreover, as each of these epidemics occurred at crucial moments in the countrys history such as during the South African War and World War Ithe book also examines how these processes affected and were affected by the five epidemics. To those who read this book, history will not look the same again. Howard Phillips is a professor in the Department of Historical Studies at the University of Cape Town, where he pioneered research in and the teaching of the social history of medicine and disease. He is the author or coauthor of numerous works, including Black October: The Impact of the Spanish Influenza Epidemic of 1918 on South Africa.

OHIO SHORT HISTORIES OF AFRICA

HUMAN RIGHTS SOUTH AFRICAN HISTORY

A Brief History of Rights in South Africa

Saul Dubow
The human rights movement in South Africas transition to a postapartheid democracy has been widely celebrated as a triumph for global human rights. It was a key aspect of the political transition, often referred to as a miracle, which brought majority rule and democracy to South Africa. The countrys new constitution, its Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the moral authority of Nelson Mandela stand as exemplary proof of this achievement. Yet, less than a generation after the achievement of freedom, the status of human rights and constitutionalism in South Africa is uncertain. In government the ANC has displayed an inconsistent attitude to the protection, and advancement, of hard-won freedoms and rights, and it is not at all clear that a broader civic and political consciousness of the importance of rights is rooting itself more widely in popular culture. Saul Dubow is a professor of history at the University of Sussex, England. He has published widely on the development of racial segregation and apartheid in all its aspects: political, ideological, and intellectual, and is the author of A Commonwealth of Knowledge: Science, Sensibility and White South Africa, 1820 2000 (2006), among several other books.

AFRICAN LITERATURE

A rare glimpse into the worlds of Chinese illegal immigrants and the new lives they made in South Africa

The first English translation of a powerful and pathbreaking novel that spoke out against colonialism thirty years before Achebes Things Fall Apart

Paper Sons and Daughters

Growing up Chinese in South Africa A Memoir
Ufrieda Ho
This memoir attracted considerable attention when it was first published in South Africa in 2011, and it will resonate with anyone interested in the worldwide Chinese diaspora. It tells the story of a stowaway, Ho Sing Kee, who hid for long weeks aboard a ship crossing the Indian Ocean. Leaving behind his village and his ancestors, he looked to the mountain of gold in Johannesburg as an escape from his bleak life in devastated 1950s China. In South Africa he became a paper son, a literal translation of the phrase used to refer to the illegal immigrants who bought or borrowed new identities from more established Chinese families to avoid detection by the authorities. He was full of quiet hope for what lay ahead as he set foot on the Durban docks, but Ho Sing Kee would never lose the status of a second-class citizen. He was the geel gevaar, the yellow peril in apartheid South Africa, and he soon learned that the streets were not lined with gold. He could not live where he chose and would not get the jobs reserved for whites. He became a fahfee man in South Africas black townships, running the small-time illegal gambling operations that became his economic lifeline. Fahfee is a betting game based on numbers drawn from dreams, mysterious symbols, and lifes unexpected coincidences. Perfectly suited to survive in the dark shadows of South Africas policies of racial segregation, Ho Sing Kee always dodged the police, always looked to maximize his winnings, and always tried to ensure a better life for his wife and four South Africanborn childrenuntil one night in April 1993 when tragedy struck.

The Conscript
A Novel of Libyas Anticolonial War
Gebreyesus Hailu
Translated by Ghirmai Negash, with an introduction by Laura Chrisman
Eloquent and thought-provoking, this classic novel by the Eritrean novelist Gebreyesus Hailu, written in Tigrinya in 1927 and published in 1950, is one of the earliest novels written in an African language and will have a major impact on the reception and critical appraisal of African literature. Told from the perspective of its central character, Tuquabo, The Conscript depicts, with irony and controlled anger, the staggering experiences of the Eritrean ascari, soldiers conscripted to fight in Libya by the Italian colonial army against the nationalist Libyan forces fighting for their freedom from Italys colonial rule. Anticipating midcentury thinkers Frantz Fanon and Aim Csaire, Hailu paints a devastating portrait of Italian colonialism. Some of the most poignant passages of the novel include the awakening of the novels hero to his ironic predicament of being both under colonial rule and the instrument of suppressing the colonized Libyans. The novels remarkable descriptions of the battlefield awe the reader with mesmerizing images, both disturbing and tender, of the Libyan landscape with its vast desert sands, oases, horsemen, foot soldiers, and the brutalities of waruncannily recalled in the satellite images that were brought to the homes of millions of viewers around the globe in 2011, during the countrys uprising against its former leader, Colonel Gaddafi. Gebreyesus Hailu (1909 ?) was a prominent and influential figure in the cultural and intellectual life of Eritrea during the Italian colonial period and in the post-Italian era in Africa. He was vicar general of the Catholic Church in Eritrea and played several important roles in the Ethiopian government, including that of cultural attach at the Ethiopian Embassy in Rome, member of the national academy of language, and advisor to the Ministry of Information of the Ethiopian government. Hailus novel, The Conscript, is based on a true story of Eritrean conscripts deployed to Libya by the Italians, whom Hailu met on his way to study in Italy. Ghirmai Negash is a professor of English & African literature at Ohio University. He is the author of A History of Tigrinya Literature in Eritrea and Who Needs a Story. His recent publications include articles and essays on Eritrean and South African literatures. Laura Chrisman is a professor of English at the University of Washington, where she holds the Nancy K. Ketcham Endowed Chair.

Ufrieda Ho is a Chinese woman first and a journalist second. Combining her heritage and a love of words, she has written a powerful and lyrical memoir of her familys experience in South Africa, which makes her first book a fascinating read.
The [Natal] Witness

Gebreyesus Hailu does Africa great service in recounting an all but forgotten and therefore all the more reprehensible chapter in African colonial history. In the same spirit, Ghirmai Negashs superb translation brings back to world literature an Eritrean literary jewel of global and timeless relevance.

Illinoiss War
The Civil War in Documents
Edited by Mark Hubbard
On the eve of the Civil War and after, Illinois was one of the most significant states in the Union. Its history is, in many respects, the history of the Union writ large: its political leaders figured centrally in the wars origins, progress, and legacies; and its diverse residents made sacrifices and contributionsboth on the battlefield and on the home frontthat proved essential to Union victory. The documents in Illinoiss War reveal how the state and its people came to assume such a prominent role in this nations greatest conflict. In these crucial decades Illinois experienced its astonishing rise from rural frontier to economic and political powerhouse. But also in these years Illinois was, like the nation itself, a house divided over the expansion of slavery, the place of blacks in society, and the policies of the federal government both during and after the Civil War. Illinoiss War illuminates these conflicts in sharp relief, as well as the ways in which Illinoisans united in both saving the Union and transforming their state. Through the firsthand accounts of men and women who experienced these tumultuous decades, Illinoiss War presents the dramatic story of the Prairie States pivotal role in the sectional crisis, as well as the many ways in which the Civil War era altered the destiny of Illinois and its citizens. Illinoiss War is the first book-length history of the state during the Civil War years since Victor Hickens Illinois in the Civil War, first published in 1966. Mark Hubbard has compiled a rich collection of letters, editorials, speeches, organizational records, diaries, and memoirs from farmers and workers, men and women, free blacks and runaway slaves, native-born and foreign-born, common soldiers and decorated generals, state and nationally recognized political leaders. The book presents fresh details of Illinoiss history during the Civil War era, and reflects the latest interpretations and evidence on the states social and political development.

A Historical Guidebook to Old Columbus

Finding the Past in the Present in Ohios Capital City
Bob Hunter and Lucy S. Wolfe

Union Station, 1903 >

The Civil War in the Great Interior series now with five established titleshas been called remarkable by the Missouri Historical Review. Individual books in the series have been lauded for the chorus of diverse voices (Ohio Valley History).

Ever look at a modern skyscraper or a vacant lot and wonder what was there before? Or maybe you have passed an old house and been curious about who lived there long ago. This richly illustrated new book celebrates Columbus, Ohios, two-hundred-year history and supplies intriguing stories about the citys buildings and celebrated citizens, stopping at individual addresses, street corners, parks, and riverbanks where history was made. As Columbus celebrates its bicentennial in 2012, a guide to local history is very relevant. Like Columbus itself, the citys history is underrated. Some events are of national importance; no one would deny that Abraham Lincolns funeral procession down High Street was a historical highlight. But the authors have also included a wealth of social and entertainment history from Columbuss colorful history as state capital and destination for musicians, artists, and sports teams. The book is divided into seventeen chapters, each representing a section of the city, including Statehouse Square, German Village, and Franklinton, the citys original settlement in 1797. Each chapter opens with an entertaining story that precedes the site listings. Sites are clearly numbered on maps in each section to make it easy for readers to visit the places that pique their interest. Many rare and historic photos are reproduced along with stunning contemporary images that offer insight into the ways Columbus has changed over the years. A Historical Guidebook to Old Columbus invites Columbuss families to rediscover their city with a treasure trove of stories from its past and suggests to visitors and new residents many interesting places that they might not otherwise find. This new book is certain to amuse and inform for years to come. Bob Hunter is a sports columnist for the Columbus Dispatch. He is the author of Saint Woody: The History and Fanaticism of Ohio State Football and seven other books. He is an Ohio University graduate and a member of the board of trustees of the Columbus Historical Society. Lucy S. Wolfe is a lifelong resident of Columbus, a realtor, and a member of the board of trustees of the Columbus Historical Society.

The Engraving Trade in Early Cincinnati examines the vibrant engraving industry that helped fuel the growth of the Queen City in the nineteenth century. Cincinnatis influence as the midwestern center for the print and engraving trade and its key position on the Ohio River played a crucial role in the development of print arts throughout the region.

The Collected Letters of Henry Northrup Castle

Edited by George Herbert Mead and Helen Castle Mead
Introduction by Alfred L. Castle and foreword by Marvin Krislov George Herbert Mead, one of Americas most important and influential philosophers, a founder of pragmatism, social psychology, and symbolic interactionism, was also a keen observer of American culture and early modernism. In the period from the 1870s to 1895, Henry Northrup Castle maintained a correspondence with family members and with Meadhis best friend at Oberlin College and brother-in-lawthat reveals many of the intellectual, economic, and cultural forces that shaped American thought in that complex era. Close friends of John Dewey, Jane Addams, and other leading Chicago Progressives, the author of these often intimate letters comments frankly on pivotal events affecting higher education, developments at Oberlin College, Hawaii (where the Castles lived), progressivism, and the general angst that many young intellectuals were experiencing in early modern America. The letters, drawn from the Mead-Castle collection at the University of Chicago, were collected and edited by Mead after the tragic death of Henry Castle in a shipping accident in the North Sea. Working with his wife Helen Castle (one of Henrys sisters), he privately published fifty copies of the letters to record an important relationship and as an intellectual history of two progressive thinkers at the end of the nineteenth century. American historians, such as Robert Crunden and Gary Cook, have noted the importance of the letters to historians of the late nineteenth century. The letters are made available here using the basic Mead text of 1902. Additional insights into the connection between Mead, John Dewey, Henry and Harriet Castle, and Hawaiis progressive kindergarten system are provided by the foundations executive director ,Alfred L. Castle. Marvin Krislov, president of Oberlin College has added additional comments on the importance of the letters to understanding the intellectual relationship that flourished at Oberlin College. Alfred L. Castle, like his great-uncle, Henry Northrup Castle, is a graduate of Punahou School in Honolulu and Colorado State University (BA and MA) and the author of numerous journal articles, book reviews, and feature articles, as well as the author of a book on the history of philanthropy. Castle has taught at universities in New Mexico, Hawaii, and California. He is the grandnephew of George Herbert Mead and Helen Castle Mead and currently serves as executive director of the Samuel N. and Mary Castle Foundation, one of Americas oldest family foundations. His most recent book is entitled Diplomatic Realism: W. R. Castle, Jr., and American Foreign Policy, 19191953.

AFRICAN HISTORY

AFRICAN HISTORY

With its focus on the spiritual basis of much political action, this new work bridges the misleading divide between religious and political historiography

New African Histories

Series Editors: Jean Allman and Allen Isaacman
The series builds on the significant achievements of social historians over the past two decades, while pushing the boundaries of African social history in exciting new directions theoretically, methodologically, and conceptually. New African Histories promotes continued research on the lived experiences of Africans in their households, communities, workplaces, and classes, as well as in the clubs, associations, and social movements they have created. It insists on the centrality of gender, generation, and social identity to African historiography, while it seeks to expose the constraints at local, national, and transnational levels that structure the daily lives of the poor and disadvantaged. Social historians have long maintained that there can be no social history without economic history. We contend that it is increasingly imperative that politics, environment, and culture receive far greater attention in the exploration of daily life. Books in this series are published with support from the Ohio University National Resource Center for African Studies.

Invisible Agents
Spirits in a Central African History
David M. Gordon
Invisible Agents shows how personal and deeply felt spiritual beliefs can inspire social movements and influence historical change. Conventional historiography concentrates on the secular, materialist, or moral sources of political agency. Instead, David M. Gordon argues, when people perceive spirits as exerting power in the visible world, these beliefs form the basis for individual and collective actions. Focusing on the history of the south-central African country of Zambia during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, his analysis invites reflection on political and religious realms of action in other parts of the world, and complicates the post-Enlightenment divide of sacred and profane. The book combines theoretical insights with attention to local detail and remarkable historical sweep, from oral narratives communicated across slave-trading routes during the nineteenth century, through the violent conflicts inspired by Christian and nationalist prophets during colonial times, and ending with the spirits of Pentecostal rebirth during the neoliberal order of the late twentieth century. To gain access to the details of historical change and personal spiritual beliefs across this long historical period, Gordon employs all the tools of the African historian. His own interviews and extensive fieldwork experience in Zambia provide texture and understanding to the narrative. He also critically interprets a diverse range of other sources, including oral traditions, fieldnotes of anthropologists, missionary writings and correspondence, unpublished state records, vernacular publications, and Zambian newspapers. Invisible Agents will challenge scholars and students alike to think in new ways about the political imagination and the invisible sources of human action and historical change. David M. Gordon is an associate professor of history at Bowdoin College. He is the author of Nachitutis Gift: Economy, Society, and Environment in Central Africa, finalist for the Herskovits Prize, and numerous articles on African social, cultural, and environmental history; and, with Shepard Krech III, he edited Indigenous Knowledge and the Environment in Africa and North America (Ohio University Press, 2012).

Despite the enormous richness of the literature on the history of religion in Africa, I can think of no other book which brings the insights of that literature to bear so directly and convincingly to the interpretation of modern political history. . . . This is a great book.

AFRICA

INTERNATIONAL STUDIES

AFRICA

FILM

A new paperback collection by international scholars that focuses on the tensions between local and global ideas and initiatives of the peacebuilding industry

New approaches to contemporary films about Africawhat has changed and what remains the same

Peacebuilding, Power, and Politics in Africa

Edited by Devon Curtis and Gwinyayi A. Dzinesa
With a foreword by Adekeye Adebajo
Peacebuilding, Power, and Politics in Africa is a critical reflection on peacebuilding efforts in Africa. The authors expose the tensions and contradictions in different clusters of peacebuilding activities, including peace negotiations; statebuilding; security sector governance; and disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration. Essays also address the institutional framework for peacebuilding in Africa and the ideological underpinnings of key institutions, including the African Union, NEPAD, the African Development Bank, the Pan-African Ministers Conference for Public and Civil Service, the UN Peacebuilding Commission, the World Bank, and the International Criminal Court. The volume includes on-the-ground case study chapters on Sudan, the Great Lakes Region of Africa, Sierra Leone and Liberia, the Niger Delta, Southern Africa, and Somalia, analyzing how peacebuilding operates in particular African contexts. The authors adopt a variety of approaches, but they share a conviction that peacebuilding in Africa is not a script that is authored solely in Western capitals and in the corridors of the United Nations. Rather, the writers in this volume focus on the interaction between local and global ideas and practices in the reconstitution of authority and livelihoods after conflict. The book systematically showcases the tensions that occur within and between the many actors involved in the peacebuilding industry, as well as their intended beneficiaries. It looks at the multiple ways in which peacebuilding ideas and initiatives are reinforced, questioned, reappropriated, and redesigned by different African actors. Devon Curtis is a lecturer in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge, and a fellow of Emmanuel College. Her main research interests and publications deal with powersharing and governance arrangements following conflict, African rebel movements, and critical perspectives on conflict, peace, and development. She is currently writing a book about peacebuilding in Burundi.

Hollywoods Africa after 1994

MaryEllen Higgins
Hollywoods Africa after 1994 investigates Hollywoods colonial film legacy in the postapartheid era, and contemplates what has changed in the Wests representations of Africa. How do we read twenty-first-century projections of human rights issueschild soldiers, genocide, the exploitation of the poor by multinational corporations, dictatorial rule, truth and reconciliationwithin the contexts of celebrity humanitarianism, new military humanitarianism, and Western support for regime change in Africa and beyond? A number of films after 1994, such as Black Hawk Down, Hotel Rwanda, Blood Diamond, The Last King of Scotland, The Constant Gardener, Shake Hands with the Devil, Tears of the Sun, and District 9, construct explicit and implicit arguments about the effects of Western intervention in Africa. Do the emphases on human rights in the films offer a poignant expression of our shared humanity? Do they echo the colonial tropes of former civilizing missions? Or do human rights violations operate as yet another mine of sensational images for Hollywoods spectacular storytelling? The volume provides analyses by academics and activists in the fields of African studies, English, film and media studies, international relations, and sociology across continents. This thoughtful and highly engaging book is a valuable resource for those who seek new and varied approaches to films about Africa.

VICTORIAN STUDIES

LITERARY CRITICISM

VICTORIAN STUDIES

BRITISH HISTORY

A nuanced study of how three women poets shaped their religious poetics in relation to their church practices

A fascinating exploration of that most British of establishments: Victorian gentlemens private clubs

Religious Imaginaries
The Liturgical and Poetic Practices of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christina Rossetti, and Adelaide Procter
Karen Dieleman
Religious Imaginaries explores liturgical practice as formative for how three Victorian women poets imagined the world and their place in it and, consequently, for how they developed their creative and critical religious poetics. In doing so, this new study rethinks several assumptions in the field: that Victorian womens faith commitments tend to limit creativity; that the contours of church experiences matter little for understanding religious poetry; and that gender is more significant than liturgy in shaping womens religious poetry. Exploring the import of bodily experience for spiritual, emotional, and cognitive forms of knowing, Karen Dieleman explains and clarifies the deep orientations of different strands of nineteenth-century Christianity, such as Congregationalisms high regard for verbal proclamation, Anglicanism and Anglo-Catholicisms valuation of manifestation, and revivalist Roman Catholicisms recuperation of an affective aesthetic. Looking specifically at Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christina Rossetti, and Adelaide Procter as astute participants in their chosen strands of Christianity, Dieleman reveals the subtle textures of these womens religious poetry: the different voices, genres, and aesthetics they create in response to their worship experiences. Part recuperation, part reinterpretation, Dielemans readings highlight each poets innovative religious poetics. Dieleman devotes two chapters to each of the three poets: the first chapter in each pair delineates the poets denominational practices and commitments; the second reads the corresponding poetry. Religious Imaginaries has appeal for scholars of Victorian literary criticism and scholars of Victorian religion, supporting its theoretical paradigm by digging deeply into primary sources associated with the actual churches in which the poets worshipped, detailing not only the liturgical practices but also the architectural environments that influenced the worshippers formation. By going far beyond descriptions of various doctrinal positions, this research significantly deepens our critical understanding of Victorian Christianity and the culture it influenced.

A Room of His Own

A Literary-Cultural Study of Victorian Clubland
Barbara Black

In nineteenth-century London, a clubbable man was a fortunate man, indeed. The Reform, the Athenaeum, the Travellers, the Carlton, the United Service are just a few of the gentlemens clubs that formed the exclusive preserve known as clubland in Victorian Londonthe City of Clubs that arose during the Golden Age of Clubs. Why were these associations for men only such a powerful emergent institution in nineteenth-century London? Distinctly British, how did these single-sex clubs help fashion men, foster a culture of manliness, and assist in the project of nation-building? What can elite male affiliative culture tell us about nineteenth-century Britishness? A Room of His Own sheds light on the mysterious ways of male associational culture as it examines such topics as fraternity, sophistication, nostalgia, social capital, celebrity, gossip, and male professionalism. The story of clubland (and the literature it generated) begins with Britains military heroes home from the Napoleonic campaign and quickly turns to Dickenss and Thackerays acrimonious Garrick Club Affair. It takes us to Richard Burtons curious Cannibal Club and Winston Churchills The Other Club; it goes underground to consider Uranian desire and Oscar Wildes clubbing and resurfaces to examine the problematics of belonging in Trollopes novels. The trespass of French socialist Flora Tristan, who cross-dressed her way into the clubs of Pall Mall, provides a brief interlude. Londons clublandthis all-important room of his own comes to life as Barbara Black explores the literary representations of clubland and the important social and cultural work that this urban site enacts. Our present-day culture of connectivity owes much to nineteenthcentury sociability and Victorian networks; clubland reveals to us our own enduring desire to belong, to construct imagined communities, and to affiliate with like-minded comrades.

Now in its fourth decade, the Series in Continental Thought publishes philosophy and scholarship inspired by twentieth- and twenty-first-century European thought, especially phenomenology and poststructuralism. Featuring original works that extend the insights of continental theory in novel directions, the series encourages dialogue with other philosophical traditions and fields of research, including architecture, cognitive science, environmental studies, literary criticism, and psychoanalysis. The series also provides a forum for innovative interpretations of eminent thinkers within the tradition, such as Buber, Husserl, Heidegger, MerleauPonty, Levinas, and Derrida, as well as translations of seminal texts. Published in collaboration with the Center for Advanced Research in Phenomenology, Inc., the series is committed to the development of continental philosophy and the work of emerging scholars.

Christine Buci-Glucksmanns The Madness of Vision is one of the most influential studies in phenomenological aesthetics of the baroque. Integrating the work of Merleau-Ponty with Lacanian psychoanalysis, Renaissance studies in optics, and twentieth-century mathematics, the author asserts the materiality of the body and world in her aesthetic theory. All vision is embodied vision, with the body and the emotions continually at play on the visual field. Thus vision, once considered a clear, uniform, and totalizing way of understanding the material world, actually dazzles and distorts the perception of reality. In each of the nine essays that form The Madness of Vision BuciGlucksmann develops her theoretical argument via a study of a major painting, sculpture, or influential visual imageArabic script, Bettinis The Eye of Cardinal Colonna, Berninis Saint Teresa and his 1661 fireworks display to celebrate the birth of the French dauphin, Caravaggios Judith Beheading Holofernes, the Paris arcades, and Arnulf Rainers selfportrait, among othersand deftly crosses historical, national, and artistic boundaries to address Gracins El Criticn; Monteverdis opera Orfeo; the poetry of Hafiz, John Donne, and Baudelaire; as well as baroque architecture and Anselm Kiefers Holocaust paintings. In doing so, BuciGlucksmann makes the case for the pervasive influence of the baroque throughout history and the continuing importance of the baroque in contemporary arts. This edition features a new preface by the author and scholarly annotations by the translator that explicate key terms of phenomenological thought and comment on the ways in which Buci-Glucksmann integrates and extends the language and ideas of other theoreticians within her study. Christine Buci-Glucksmann is a philosopher, professor emerita of the University of Paris VIII, and the author of many books in the fields of political philosophy, aesthetics, contemporary art, the baroque, ornament, Asian art, and virtual art. Her most recent works include Esthtique de lphmre (2003), Au-del de la mlancholie (2005), Philosophie de lornement: DOrient en Occident (2008), and Une femme philosophe (2008), and two of her books have previously been translated into English: Gramsci and the State (1980) and Baroque Reason: The Aesthetics of Modernity (1994). Dorothy Z. Baker is a professor of English at the University of Houston, where she teaches translation studies and American literature. She has translated the poetry of Pierre Reverdy and Armand Robin. In addition, she is the author of Mythic Masks in Self-Reflexive Poetry and Americas Gothic Fiction and the editor of Poetics in the Poem and The Silent and Soft Communion.

The Photography of Lloyd E. Moore
Edited by Rajko Grli
Face to Face: The Photography of Lloyd E. Moore is a remarkable collection of photographs by an ex-Marine who worked as a lawyer in Lawrence County, Ohio, for around thirty-six years. As Moore himself tells us, An attorney who practices family, jury, and criminal law meets a lot of interesting people. Not all of them are clients or even people directly involved in various cases. Even though they might be connected to the job, thats not necessarily why you remember them. . . . My experience led me to the conclusion that everybody matters. In stark black-and-white photographs, or spread across two pages in full color, the images of the people of Ironton and Lawrence County, Ohio, seem to have captured their photographer, and will haunt the viewer as well. Whether in glimpses of stern young boys posing against the backdrop of dire poverty or in the living room of a cheerful member of the Ironton Womens Music Club, Moores uncanny ability to seize a moment in his subjects day brings a timeless quality to his work. Lloyd E. Moore was born in Columbus, Ohio, in 1931 and attended Ohio State University, earning BA and JD degrees. In 1959 he began to practice law in Lawrence County, Ohio, and continued for the next thirty-six years. With a particular dedication, Moore focused on photography from 1971 until 1990, and his most important subjects were people who lived in and around Lawrence County. His photographs have been exhibited in Ohio, New York, London, and Tokyo, among other places, and he was a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. Lloyd E. Moore died in 2010. Rajko Grli was born in 1947 in Zagreb, Croatia, and graduated from the FAMU Film Academy in Prague. As the director and scriptwriter or cowriter, he has worked on eleven theatrical feature films, which have been distributed around the world and have won more than fifty international awards. He has also worked on some twenty Left, Rajko Grli; right, Lloyd E. Moore short films and more than fifteen television documentaries. Grli is currently Ohio Eminent Scholar in Film at Ohio University, and lives in Athens, Ohio.

A ramble through the notes [of Cinematic Hamlet] leaves one with the impression that Cook has read everything of relevance and can be trusted when correcting the wayward critic. His approach is generally thorough, fluent, and smart. Summing Up: Highly recommended.Choice Applying recent developments in neuroscience and psychology, Patrick J. Cook argues that film is a medium deploying an abundance of devices whose task it is to direct attention away from the films viewing processes and toward the object represented. Through careful analysis of each films devices, he explores the ways in which four brilliant directors rework the play into a radically different medium, engaging the viewer through powerful instinctive drives and creating audiovisual vehicles that support and complement Shakespeares words and story.

The second myth it debunks is that these churches are under the control of Americans. The third myth also dispatched is that African Pentecostal churches are politically quietist.
