Jardine, Lisa; Stewart, Alan Hostage to Fortune: The Troubled Life of Francis Bacon
Hill & Wang 2000 0809055406 / 9780809055401 Paperback Fine n/a Paperback
New. Fine in publisher's decorated wrappers. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.For modern readers--especially those in the sciences who revere him as the father of the inductive method--Francis Bacon (1561-1626) is the model of an English Renaissance man whose towering intellectual achievements somewhat paradoxically set him floating above mundane historical particulars. British academics Lisa Jardine and Alan Stewart fling Bacon back into the hurly-burly of Elizabethan and Jacobean politics, where he unquestionably belongs. Indeed, their magnificently detailed rendering of Bacon's bumpy progression to the pinnacle of royal office-holding, as James I's lord chancellor (he was forced to "retire" in 1621 after a bribery scandal), makes his scientific and philosophical contributions even more remarkable. How on earth did he find time to write The Advancement of Learning (1605) and Novum Organum (1620) at all? In the authors' deliciously dense re-creation, notable for their shrewd evaluations of often misleading written source material, Bacon seems almost exclusively preoccupied with intriguing for promotion, struggling to pay debts incurred by his lavish lifestyle, and currying favor with both Elizabeth's and James's male favorites. (The latter tactic leading to contemporary charges of "sodomy" that the authors do not necessarily dismiss.) Some may regret that this warts-and-all portrait does not spend more time on Bacon's books, but Jardine and Stewart brilliantly succeed in their stated goal of providing "a rich context for those works." Seldom has a scholarly tome so palpably conveyed the gritty, sweaty, faction-ridden reality of being a working politician at the turn of the 17th century. --Wendy Smith --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Publishers' WeeklySir Francis Bacon (15611626) was Englands Renaissance man par excellence, and arguably the founder of scientific method, especially induction. His Novum Organum and The Advancement of Learning first articulated the empirical method of inquiry, and his utopian novel, The New Atlantis, continues to be cited in debates on science and politics. In a biography that focuses more on the man than on the work, Jardine (Worldly Goods: A New History of the Renaissance) and Stewart (Close Readers: Humanism and Sodomy in Early Modern England) present Bacon as an intelligent, energetic bundle of paradoxes. He was a man of power and action who held various positions in government, including Solicitor General and Lord Chancellor. Yet he liked to be regarded as a philosopher and man of letters. At times warm and supportive toward his friends, Bacon willingly betrayed his benefactor, the Earl of Essex, and helped convict him of treason. He described himself as the justest chancellor that hath been, yet he accepted bribes in legal cases, for which he was fined 40,000 and imprisoned in the Tower of London. Addressing the mysterious disappearance of Bacons body, the authors chalk it up not to any Rosicrucian plot (a favorite contention of conspiracy theorists) but rather to an undertakers need to make room for another coffin. As they chronicle this multifacted life, Jardine and Stewart also give readers a rollicking portrait of the rich and crowded existence of Elizabethan England, a world where high thinking coexisted, often in the same person, with very low deeds.

Gilbar, Steven; Stewart, Steven Gilbar; Dean (Editor) Not Forgotten: American Writers Remember the Lives of Literary Mentors, Friends, & Rivals
David R Godine 2006 1567922945 / 9781567922943 Paperback Fine n/a Paperback
New. Fine in publisher's decorated wrappers. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.We know the names on both sides of these coins: both the authors whose lives are celebrated, and the names of their friends performing the celebration. And what a list it is: Emerson on Thoreau, Henry James on Lowell, Howells on Twain, O'Hara on Fitzgerald, Tate on Eliot, Davenport on Merton, Merrill on Bishop. If there is a published pantheon in which the best of a writer's life and work is recorded for posterity by their closest friends, this book contains the holy scriptures. For here is a selection of well considered (and often shockingly honest) appraisals of the greatest names in American literature memorialized, eulogized, and sometimes criticized by their dearest friends and their closest peers. All are personal; many are poignant and in every case the reader reaches the final sentences knowing far more about the subject than before, not as they would from a scholarly entry in a biographical dictionary, but at first hand, close up, encomia written in flesh and blood.These memoria consistently manifest an urgency on the writers' part to convey the personal, the intimate, the unknown. Katherine Anne Porter writes of Flannery O'Connor, "I want to tell what she looked like and how she carried herself and how she sounded standing balanced lightly on her aluminum crutches," John O'Hara starts his appraisal of Fitzgerald with the observation, "It is granted that Scott Fitzgerald was not a lovable man, but most of the time he was a friendly one, and that characteristic, in a man of his professional standing, is as much as anyone can ask."Personal, forthright, and honest, these appreciations sound the notes of our literary past that still resonate in our minds.

Stewart Justman The Psychological Mystique (Rethinking Theory)
Northwestern University Press 1999 0810116014 / 9780810116016 Hardcover Near fine Near fine Hardcover
New. Near fine in publisher's quarter-bound boards in like dust jacket. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.From Library Journal. Justman (English, Univ. of Montana), who has written books on Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill, here takes a harsh view of psychology as it has come to shape our personal and social lives. Chapters deal with Edward Bernays (public relations), Stanley Milgram's obedience research, Herbert Marcuse (political psychology), Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Dostoevsky, Orwell, Locke, and Milton. Justman indicts the insidious blandness of diagnosis and treatment that displaces decorum, moral judgment, and responsibility. Erudite, clear, and hard-hitting, this is consciouness-raising in the best sense by a scholar versed in literature, history, and philosophy whose thematic integration of diverse materials is dazzling. What is missing is an acknowledgment of psychological writers?Otto Rank, Erik Erikson, Thomas Szasz, Robert Jay Lifton?who have kept moral principles in mind. Recomended for scholars and general readers interested in psychology, modern culture, and social criticism.?E. James Lieberman, George Washington Univ. Sch. of Medicine, Washington, DC.

Robert Byron; Introduction-Paul Fussell; Preface-Rory Stewart The Road to Oxiana
Oxford University Press, USA 2007-05-18 0195325605 / 9780195325607 Paperback Fine n/a Paperback
New. Fine in publisher's decorated wrappers. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.In 1933, the delightfully eccentric travel writer Robert Byron set out on a journey through the Middle East via Beirut, Jerusalem, Baghdad and Teheran to Oxiana, near the border between Afghanistan and the Soviet Union. Throughout, he kept a thoroughly captivating record of his encounters, discoveries, and frequent misadventures. His story would become a best-selling travel book throughout the English-speaking world, until the acclaim died down and it was gradually forgotten. When Paul Fussell published his own book Abroad, in 1982, he wrote that The Road to Oxiana is to the travel book what "Ulysses is to the novel between the wars, and what The Waste Land is to poetry." His statements revived the public's interest in the book, and for the first time, it was widely available in American bookstores. Now this long-overdue reprint will introduce it to a whole new generation of readers. This edition features a new introduction by Rory Stewart, best known for his book The Places In Between, about his extensive travels in Afghanistan. Today, in addition to its entertainment value, The Road to Oxiana also serves as a rare account of the architectural treasures of a region now inaccessible to most Western travelers, and a nostalgic look back at a more innocent time. ... About the Author... Robert Byron was born in England in 1905 into a family distantly related to Lord Byron. He attended Eton and Merton College, Oxford, and wrote several travel books before his untimely death in 1941, while serving as a correspondent for a London newspaper during World War II.

Stewart, David O. The Summer of 1787: The Men Who Invented the Constitution
Simon & Schuster 2007 0743286928 / 9780743286923 Hardcover Near fine Near fine Hardcover
New. Remainder mark. Near fine in publisher's quarter bound boards in like dust jacket with 2 mm closed tears. Available in our UK premises for prompt dispatch worldwide.Starred Review. Since Catherine Drinker Bowen's Miracle at Philadelphia appeared in 1966, no work has challenged its classic status. Now, Stewart's work does. Briskly written, full of deft characterizations and drama, grounded firmly in the records of the Constitutional Convention and its members' letters, this is a splendid rendering of the document's creation. All the debates are here, as are all the convention's personalities. It detracts nothing from Stewart's lively story to point out that it's just that--a tale--and not an interpretation. Stewart, a constitutional lawyer in Washington, D.C., ignores the recent decades' penetrating scholarship about the Constitution's creation in favor of a fast-paced narrative of a long, hot summer's work. Only one choice mars the book. Stewart, like Bowen, wants us to see the four summer months as the only period when the Constitution was created. But as James Madison and others acknowledged soon afterward, the state ratifying conventions and the First Federal Congress, which added the Bill of Rights, also contributed to the Constitution as we know it. Stewart's excellent book will appeal to those looking for descriptive history at its best, not for a fresh take on the subject. B&w illus. (Apr.) Copyright ¬ Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. From Booklist: This is, of course, a story that has been told before. But like most great stories, it is worth retelling, especially when told exceedingly well. Stewart, a former law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell, is a fine writer whose narrative unfolds like a well-structured novel. He begins with a description of the unsettled period just before the convention, as states quarreled with each other and a group of indebted farmers burned courthouses in Massachusetts. He describes the halting moves toward a Constitutional Convention that essentially were launched at a sparsely attended conference at George Washington's home at Mount Vernon. The narrative gathers steam as the convention begins in the sweltering heat of Philadelphia. Here Stewart artfully shows the roles played by the key players as they grappled with issues as varied as the rights of states and the future of slavery. In Stewart's view, the true genius of these founders was their understanding that free, popular government must be based upon compromise. General readers will find this work stimulating.
