Very Good. During the past 25 years, a tremendous boom has occurred in the publishing of biographies, especially literary biographies, that is, lives of creative writers. Yet, according to this critical study, literary biographers have most often focused their efforts merely upon presenting historical facts while being generally unaware of artistic possibilities in the subgenre. Criticism of biography frequently quotes Desmond MacCarthy's dictum that the biographer is an artist who is on oath. Undoubtedly, every biographer must be on oath not to deny or change the truth of historical facts. But the literary biographer who aspires to be an artist must include in his or her biographical design aesthetic truth as well. And good biography, like good fiction, is shaped by that individual point of view which alone may make it art. Through an analysis of Steven Millhauser's satiric novel/biography, Edwin Mullhouse: The Life and Death of an American Writer, Petrie outlines a technique for judging specifically literary biographies as aesthetic objects works revealing purpose, structure, and style. He then applies this technique in extensive discussions of three types of literary biography; illustrated here primarily by works about four modern American novelists; Joseph Blotner's Faulkner, Andrew Turnbull's Scott Fitzerald, W. A. Swanberg's Dreiser, and Leon Edel's Henry James., 3, New York: Scholastic, 1973. 4th Printing . Mass Market Paperback. Very Good.

Cover by Denny McMains., Scholastic, 1973, 3, Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 2,3, University of Applied Sciences Bremen, language: English, abstract: In the following home-exam I will write about the monetary and fiscal policies in Europe with the research question, does the EU do it right or wrong? I have chosen this topic because it is a current important but also very complex debate with different points of view. It starts with the first point of my exam, fiscal governance. It includes the fiscal policy rules, independent fiscal institutions, frameworks, and the theory of optimum currency areas. The next point which is produced by the optimum currency areas is the risk and bailout in the European Monetary Union. After this fiscal part, I will focus on the topic of monetary policy. It includes the European Central Bank with its councils. The following part is the goals of the ECB and monetary policy. An interesting question like "does only price stability matter?" will be answered. Afterward, I am going to write about the complex instruments of the ECB. Near the end I will give some important arguments for the question "how advanced is the EU right now?" The last part is the conclusion. It will include all the important facts of this work and answer the research question., GRIN Publishing, United States, 2014, 6, London England: Dennis Dobson, 1961. Hardback. Slight foxing to edge. Couple of tiny tears to edge of D/J. Price clipped to D/J. Translated by Austryn Wainhouse. This book does more than draw attention to the West Indies. It explains them and clarifies what they are by presenting a panoramic, overall view of the Caribbean from which emerges a fact too little recognised and which it impresses on the reader's mind: there is such a thing as a Caribbean unity - a unity, the author declares, that has been fashioned out of poverty. For everywhere in the West Indies - whether thanks to sugar-cane monoculture, to racism or to the Administrations - the same forces concert to produce the same sorry order. Apart from these questions the author's book presents a sketch of the comparative history of all the Caribbean peoples which, going beyond its manifold forms, gets at the core of the dynamisim peculiar to Caribbean history. The solution which the author sees to these problems is the ultimate grouping of the West Indies into a strong independent body, a Confederation of Caribbean States each of which has itself arrived at a full national maturity by following its own path. 192 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . 1st Uk Edition.
