F. Scott Fitzgerald's Odyssey

F. Scott Fitzgerald's Odyssey

Bernard R. Tanner

University Press of America
2003
nidottu
Here for the first time a reader can understand The Great Gatsby as F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote it. Fitzgerald wanted praise for showing skills like those of James Joyce in Ulysses. He set the table for a party to which no one came. No reviewers or interpreters of his novel until now have fully explained its structure, its individual chapter topics, biblical parodies, puns, games with numbers, and burlesques hidden in images. He drew from The Gospel According to John, a 5th century apocryphal book (The Gospel of Nicodemus), The Epistle of James, The Acts of the Apostles, and legends of the saints in ways similar to Joyce's use of adventures in Homer's The Odyssey.

Dry-Fly Fishing: A Guide with a Scottish Perspective

Dry-Fly Fishing: A Guide with a Scottish Perspective

R. C. Bridgett

Westphalia Press
2018
nidottu
Dry-Fly Fishing is a specific style of fishing done with floating lines and flies that float, rather than typical lines and lures that sink. Most fish, particularly trouts, feed underwater, there is roughly 10% of their diet that consists of items found floating on the surface. This adds an interesting challenge for fishers, as well as a new experience to fishing. Some fishers prefer dry-fly fishing because it provides a new visual component to fishing and the catch. Adding more complexity to the experience is the development of lures to float attractively, and the process of drying the flies once they have been used is also complex. This reprint offers a look at past fishing methods and may be a source of inspiration to new and experienced fishers alike.

Religion and the Science of Human Nature in the Scottish Enlightenment

Religion and the Science of Human Nature in the Scottish Enlightenment

R.J.W. Mills

Springer International Publishing AG
2024
sidottu
This book examines how enlightened Scottish social theorists c.1740 to c.1800 understood the origin and development of religion. Challenging scholarly disregard for the topic, it shows how most prominent thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment thought deeply about the relationship between religion, human nature and historical change. The Scots viewed this relationship as an important strand within the study of the 'science of human nature' and the 'history of man.' The fruits of this investigation were a sophisticated and innovative account of religious change that is characterized by a striking modernity and naturalism, even by the more devout theorists. The views of the literati surveyed here need to be incorporated into our larger histories of the 'science of religion' as much as they do into our understanding of the social theory of the Scottish Enlightenment.

In the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, Minneapolis resident Walter R. Scott produced a series of books profiling the African American community of the Twin Cities. The people and stories presented in the three original volumes--Centennial Edition of the Minneapolis Beacon (1956), Minneapolis Negro Profile (1968), and Minnesota's Black Community (1976)--reflect a vibrant community of businesspeople, artists, educators, athletes, and other public figures while providing an intimate look at everyday life in black homes, schools, neighborhoods, and businesses.The Scott Collection brings back into print these fascinating documents of African American life and history in the Twin Cities. The original photos and profiles are supplemented with introductory essays that put Scott's work into context and shed light on what the images and descriptions from the time reveal about Minnesota's diverse populations then and now. The collection offers a "pictorial resume of the black community, its achievements, and its goals" and a fascinating window into particular moments in time.

Scottish Literacy and the Scottish Identity

Scottish Literacy and the Scottish Identity

R. A. Houston

Cambridge University Press
2002
pokkari
Scottish education and literacy have achieved a legendary status. A campaign promoted by church and state between 1560 and 1696 is said to have produced the most literate population in the early modern world. This book sets out to test this belief by comparing the ability to read and write in Scotland with northern England in particular and with Europe and North America in general. It combines extensive statistical analysis with qualitative and theoretical discussion to produce an important argument about the significance of literacy and education for the individual and society of relevance not just to the Scottish experience but to a far broader social and geographical area.
