James Hazlett May, 1987 PREFACE This dissertation is a business history of the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange, and a study of regulation in the American West. Historians generally understand the economic growth of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the business institutions created during that era, within the perspective of "progressive" history. According to that view, Americans shifted from a public policy of laissez faire economics to one of state regulation around the turn of the century. More recently, historians have questioned the nature of regulation in American society, and this study extends that discussion into the livestock industry of the American West. 1 This dissertation relied heavily upon the minutes of the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange. Other sources were also important, especially the minutes of the Chicago Live Stock Exchange, which made possible a comparison of the two exchanges. Critical to understanding the role of the Exchange but unavailable in Kansas City, financial data was 1Morton Keller, "The Pluralist State: American Economic Regulation in Comparative Perspective, 1900-1930," in Thomas K.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

INTRODUCTION CONCEIVE the joy of a lover of nature who, leaving the art galleries, wanders out among the trees and wild flowers and birds that the pictures of the galleries have sen¬ timentalised. It is some such joy that the man who truly loves the noblest in letters feels when tasting for the first time the simple delights of Russian literature. French and English and German authors, too, occasionally, offer works of lofty, simple naturalness; but the very keynote to the whole of Russian literature is simplicity, naturalness, veraciousness.

  • The Overthrow of Authority in Chekhov's "My Life"
    Title The Overthrow of Authority in Chekhov's "My Life" Author(s) DURKIN, Andrew R Citation Acta Slavica Iaponica, 8, 1-11 Issue Date 1990 Doc URL http://hdl.handle.net/2115/7998 Type bulletin (article) File Information KJ00000034166.pdf Instructions for use Hokkaido University Collection of Scholarly and Academic Papers : HUSCAP 1 ARTICLES The Overthrow of Authority in Chekhov's "My Life" Andrew R. Durkin In four long stories of the 1890's, The Duel" ("Duel'," 1891), "An Anonymous Story" ("Rasskaz neizvestnogo cheloveka," 1893), "Three Years" ("Tri goda," 1895) and "My Life" (Moia zhizn'," 1896), Chekhov examined and almost entirely rejected the tradition of the nineteenth-century Russian novel. 1 However, in the last of these works, the rejection of tradition and authority is not limited to non-acceptance of the literary tradition. In "My Life," Chekhov broadens his field of vision to include social, psychological, and even autobiographical elements. In "My Life," to a greater degree than in any of his other works, Chekhov touches on facts of his own life, creating a literary work in part out of his own personal ex­ perience. For various reasons, this aspect of "My Life" has not until now attracted the attention of scholars. In the first place, the dominant orthodoxy in the literary criticism of the nineteenth century treated the author mainly as a passive reflector not meriting particular attention ; dis­ cussion for the most part focussed on the social significance of a work of literature. Chekhov himself contributed to such an interpretation of "My Life" by publishing the story, after its ini­ tial appearance in A.

  • The Malleus Maleficarum
    broedel.cov 12/8/03 9:23 am Page 1 ‘Broedel has provided an excellent study, not only of the Malleus and its authors, and the construction of witchcraft The Malleus Maleficarum but just as importantly, of the intellectual context in which the Malleus must be set and the theological and folk traditions to which it is, in many ways, an heir.’ and the construction of witchcraft PETER MAXWELL-STUART, ST ANDREWS UNIVERSITY Theology and popular belief HAT WAS WITCHCRAFT? Were witches real? How should witches The HANS PETER BROEDEL be identified? How should they be judged? Towards the end of the middle ages these were serious and important questions – and completely W Malleus Maleficarum new ones. Between 1430 and 1500, a number of learned ‘witch-theorists’ attempted to answer such questions, and of these perhaps the most famous are the Dominican inquisitors Heinrich Institoris and Jacob Sprenger, the authors of the Malleus Maleficarum, or The Hammer of Witches. The Malleus is an important text and is frequently quoted by authors across a wide range of scholarly disciplines.Yet it also presents serious difficulties: it is difficult to understand out of context, and is not generally representative of late medieval learned thinking. This, the first book-length study of the original text in English, provides students and scholars with an introduction to this controversial work and to the conceptual world of its authors. Like all witch-theorists, Institoris and Sprenger constructed their witch out of a constellation of pre-existing popular beliefs and learned traditions. BROEDEL Therefore, to understand the Malleus, one must also understand the contemporary and subsequent debates over the reality and nature of witches.

  • A Translation of Selected Short Stories by Colombian Author
    A TRANSLATION OF SELECTED SHORT STORIES BY COLOMBIAN AUTHOR JULIO PAREDES by ANDREA E. OLSEN A thesis submitted to the Graduate School – New Brunswick In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Spanish Written under the direction of Professor Phyllis Zatlin And approved by ____________________________________ ____________________________________ ____________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2008 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS A Translation of Selected Short Stories by Colombian Author Julio Paredes By ANDREA E. OLSEN Thesis Director: Professor Phyllis Zatlin Julio Paredes is a contemporary Colombian writer who has published two novels, three collections of short stories, and a biography. His stories are evocative, thought- provoking narratives of difficulties a variety of characters face as they relate to other human beings and search for meaning in this life. Throughout Paredes’s work, emphasis is placed on the unknown, thus leaving many of his stories open-ended. His characters struggle with existential questions, and quite often, the text is representative of their inner thoughts and feelings. The following selection contains eight short stories from three different collections. While the particular situations of each are quite varied, common themes such as relationships, love, passing from one stage of life to the next, and magic emerge among them. Paredes illustrates the fact that the type of angst felt by his characters does not discriminate; people of different ages and backgrounds share similar experiences. Because these stories focus on the human spirit, which transcends geographic and cultural boundaries, they translate quite nicely from their original Spanish and can certainly be enjoyed and appreciated by an English-speaking audience.
