William Penn and Early Quakerism

William Penn and Early Quakerism

Melvin B. Endy

Princeton University Press
2015
pokkari
William Penn is justly famous for his part in the political development of colonial America. Yet he was also one of the leading Quaker theologians of the seventeenth century and the most important translator of Quaker religious thought into social and political reality, and his life and works cannot be fully understood without a knowledge of his religious hopes and ideals. Melvin Endy goes beyond the political histories, biographies, and histories of Quakerism to provide a comprehensive account of Penn's religious thought, its influence on his political thought and activity, and the significance of his life and thought to the Quaker movement. His assessment of Penn's place in the Quaker movement and his discussion of Penn's thought in relation to Puritan, Spiritualist. Anglican, and pre-Enlightenment developments has led to an understanding of Quakerism that differs from the recent tendency to stress strongly its Puritan origins and affinities. Because of the revisionist nature of this interpretation and the author's conviction that early Quaker thought has never been adequately related to its intellectual milieu, this study of Penn has been developed into a vehicle for a new analysis of aspects of early Quaker thought. Finally, the Pennsylvania venture is examined and assessed as a laboratory in which the vision of a society run according to the principles of a spiritual religion was put to the test. Originally published in 1973. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

This is a concise, fluently presented examination of the relation between William Penn's religious convictions and his political behavior, from his years as an active young convert to the Quaker cause to his later years as governor of Pennsylvania. Although not a full biographical treatment of William Penn, the study presents new insights into Penn's life because it is based on many ignored but important pamphlets that Penn wrote. The young William Penn took a leading role in the Quaker fight for the right of free assembly, the right of free speech, and freedom of conscience. However, when faced with governing a booming colony, these very principles and convictions had to be modified in order to maintain his and the Friends' control of Pennsylvania.

The Collected Letters of William Morris, Volume III

The Collected Letters of William Morris, Volume III

William Morris

sidottu
These volumes bring to a close the only comprehensive edition of the surviving correspondence of William Morris (1834-1896), a protean figure who exerted a major influence as poet, craftsman, master printer, and designer. Volumes III and IV, taken together, give in detail the comments and observations that articulate his problematic political and artistic stands and equally problematic position within the aesthetic movement as it developed in the 1890s. Most eloquently voiced also are the complexities of his troubled marriage and his devotion to his epileptic daughter, Jenny, and his other daughter, May. But dominating all these themes, organizing and structuring them, are the Kelmscott Press and the building of Morris's important library of medieval manuscripts and early printed books. The letters record the way in which the Press becomes not only the center of Morris's aesthetic ambitions and achievements but also the site for his closest human relations and for much of his connecting with the makers of early modernism. The letters in Volumes III and IV are thoroughly annotated, and through texts and notes provide a new assessment of Morris's career. Included also, as appendices to Volume IV, are two important documents: the first, never before published, is F. S. Ellis's Valuation List of Morris's library, made after Morris's death, and the second, never before reprinted, is the text of what was to be Morris's final essay on socialism, published in April 1896. Originally published in 1995.

William Carlos Williams and the Ethics of Painting

William Carlos Williams and the Ethics of Painting

Terence Diggory

Princeton University Press
2016
sidottu
In Peter Brueghel's painting The Adoration of the Kings, the depiction of Joseph and Mary suggested to William Carlos Williams a paradigm for the relationship between poem and painting, reader and text, man and woman, that he had sought throughout his life to establish: a marriage that can acknowledge and withstand infidelity. Here Terence Diggory explores the meaning of this paradigm within the context of Williams's career and also of recent critical and cultural debate, which frequently assumes violence and oppression to be inherent in all forms of relationship. Williams's special attention to the art of painting, Diggory shows, put him in a position to challenge such assumptions. In contrast to the "ethics of reading" deduced by J. Hillis Miller from the premises of deconstruction, Diggory illuminates Williams's "ethics of painting" by applying Julia Kristeva's concepts of psychoanalytic transference and nonoppressive desire. The abstract or "objectless" space in which such desire operates is typified by modernist painting, for both Kristeva and Williams, but foreshadowed in the work of earlier artists such as Bellini and Brueghel.

What if the meek really did inherit the earth? "A fantastic story about the rights of a Native American tribe upon finding an extra-terrestrial element on their land, and how they went about defending those rights. A first-class legal story that was a brilliant and interesting read." "I really liked this book. It was thought provoking and a very powerful read. The story included science, technology, adventure and drama and was lyrical in its simplicity but it packed a big punch. The characters were spiritual and very genuine and made you wish that you new them, that they could be members of your own family. The message in this book was an important one and I wish everyone one would read this book I will be recommending it to many." "It's not often that one can find a story that engages the senses and refreshes the mind with originality and attention to detail. Part science -fiction, part historical, and part spiritual, author Jon D. Anthony takes us on a journey of hope intermingled with the sacred beliefs and customs of the Chippewa people. Well-crafted and enjoyable, I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a change from cookie cutter plots and worn out themes." "All Indigenous Peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social, and cultural development. flag"

William Hamilton

Pegasus Imprimis Press
2017

From one of "flyover land's" most-awarded newspaper columnists and laureate of the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame, comes a long-awaited collection of William Hamilton's often humorous, always illuminating, newspaper columns. For 35 years, Dr. Hamilton's "Central View," has informed and entertained readers throughout America's heartland. Striving to be just slightly to the right of center, and relying on successful careers in-the-trenches of military service, political consulting, old-fashioned journalism, and the advertising/public relations business, Dr. Hamilton's penetrating insights into: cultural, geopolitical, economic, history, military, and political affairs provides readers with an unconventional perspective on past and current events -- a perspective not typically found in America's mainstream media (MSM). "Bill Hamilton is a skilled and entertaining writer, a pleasure for an editor to work with, and one of the rarest of literary animals: a conservative with a sense of humor."-- Sid Hurlburt, longtime guest columns editor for USA TODAY Kim Stevens, fellow pilot and publisher of the State Aviation Journal/AVED Magazine comments: "Like the 1980s Lays Potato Chips slogan - I bet you can't eat just one - reading just one of William Hamilton's columns just can't be done. Or shouldn't. To miss even one of his stories is to deprive you of his years of wit, wisdom and smile provoking situations." "Aviator, master parachutist, avid skier, sailor, linguist, highly decorated soldier, Bill Hamilton, lives a life of high adventure about which he writes with wit and wisdom," says Warren Miller, the founder of Warren Miller Entertainment. Readers looking for a refreshing change from the MSM's usual group-think, will find in these columns good-natured humor and new ways of looking at subjects, both old and new.

William Colby and the CIA

William Colby and the CIA

John Prados

University Press of Kansas
2009
nidottu
'It is surprising that no one previous to John Prados attempted a biography of quintessential cold warrior William Colby, because his story is in many ways also the story of the CIA. From Italy to Vietnam, to the military coup in Indonesia, to Watergate, the prosecution of Richard Helms, investigations of CIA assassination plots, and the drugging and surveillance of unwitting Americans, Colby was there, on the ground or deeply involved at headquarters' - ""The Guardian"". William E. Colby was one of the most enigmatic figures of the Cold War and a central player in the operations of the Central Intelligence Agency. While publicly appearing as a calm bureaucrat, behind the scenes Colby helped orchestrate some of CIA's most controversial operations. His mysterious death even added to the aura. In the wake of new questions relating to CIA activities since 9/11 - which John Prados discusses in his new preface - Colby's story provides crucial lessons for a nation that still struggles to reconcile intelligence methods with democratic principles. Prados tracks Colby's life and career from early years in the OSS to his tumultuous tenure as Director of Central Intelligence in the 1970s. Reviled by many outside the CIA for his role in Vietnam - and inside it for his cooperation with probes of the agency - Colby was cast as a scapegoat by the Ford White House during the Church and Pike congressional investigations. In addition, Prados offers fresh insights and new perspectives on Colby's involvement in the notorious Phoenix program in Vietnam and in the bloody Indonesian coup of 1965 that overthrew President Sukarno and brought General Suharto to power, as well as on the CIA's role in the 1963 assassination of President Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam and on the actions of high-level CIA officials during the final demise of South Vietnam in 1975. A masterful study of a master spy, ""William Colby and the CIA"" also offers a vital and timely history of the inner workings of 'the Company' for which he worked. Originally published in a cloth edition under the title ""Lost Crusader"" and retitled for this first paperback edition, ""William Colby and the CIA"" explores dilemmas of intelligence that are of renewed importance today.
