Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Eight gay men wrote their autobiographies in French between 1845 and 1905; some of them reflected on their childhood, adolescence, and adulthood,others provided brief impressions of their loves and desires. A few of them dramatized their lives following contemporary theatrical and fictional models, while others wrote for medical doctors, who used the men's writings as case studies to illustrate their theories on sexual deviance. In some instances the doctors' extensive interpretations cannot be separated from the men's own stories, but in others the authors speak for themselves.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This comprehensive volume celebrates the 150th anniversary of the 1855 edition of Walt Whitman's 'Leaves of Grass' with twenty essays by preeminent scholars representing a variety of critical perspectives that focus exclusively on the original edition. Once regarded as primarily a collector's item, this edition is now viewed as the poet's most bold and compelling articulation of the possibilities of American democracy. The essays weave a rich tapestry of the most current, innovative criticism on this foundational book of American poetry. The contributors treat Whitman's poetry, his biography, his politics, his reception in the United States and abroad, race and ethnic issues, nineteenth-century America, and even the complex typographical history of the first edition of 'Leaves of Grass.' The volume also includes a tribute from the renowned poet Galway Kinnell.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - For more than a century, the Northern Arapaho people have lived on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming--the fourth largest reservation in the country. In 'The Four Hills of Life,' Jeffrey D. Anderson masterfully draws together aspects of the Northern Arapahos' world--myth, language, art, ritual, identity, and history--to offer a vivid picture of a culture that has endured and changed over time. Anderson shows that Northern Arapaho unity and identity from the nineteenth century on derive primarily from a shared system of ritual practices that transmit vital cultural knowledge. He also provides an in-depth study of the problems that Euro-American society continues to impose on reservation life and of the responses of the Northern Arapahos.
