Emphasis in selection of titles is on presentation which is clear, vivid, appea'ing, imaginative. All the books have been read and selected by the Committee on Books for Young Adults which is made up of librarians who work with teenagers in The New York Public Library. A large majority of the 1250 titles have been chosen from adult publications. The juvenile titles listed have value for all ages. Outof print books are included only when they are still generally available in public libraries.

New books, most of which have been published in 1972, are indicated by an asterisk (). The books are constantly tested and tried with teenage readers in New York City, Since teenagers vary greatly in their interests, maturity, and reading ability, the books on this list vary greatly in difficulty and depth, They are not necessarily shelved in young people's collections because they do repre sent such a wide range horn simple to complex, from light to profound. They form a permanent exhibition in the Office of Young Adult Services, and at the Nathan Straus Young Adult Library, Donnell Library Center, 20 West 53rd Street. This library has 14,000 books, a wide selection of magazines, and an informal browsing section. Film programs and other activities of interest to teenagers are frequently scheduled at this center, Every branch has many of the books on this list and other books of special interest to the teen age. They also have programs for teenagers from time to time.

  • One Nation: Power, Hope, Community
    one nation power hope community power hope community Ed Miliband has set out his vision of One Nation: a country where everyone has a stake, prosperity is fairly shared, and we make a common life together. A group of Labour MPs, elected in 2010 and after, describe what this politics of national renewal means to them. It begins in the everyday life of work, family and local place. It is about the importance of having a sense of belonging and community, and sharing power and responsibility with people. It means reforming the state and the market in order to rebuild the economy, share power hope community prosperity, and end the living standards crisis. And it means doing politics in a different way: bottom up not top down, organising not managing. A new generation is changing Labour to change the country.

Two of the travelers—Allen Ginsberg and Gary Snyder—were already well-known back in the States, propelled to fame by the controversy over Ginsberg’s breakthrough poem “Howl,” and by their appearances in Jack Kerouac’s seminal Beat Generation novels On The Road and The Dharma Bums.

ABSTRACT: To what extent does cultural distance interfere with or limit literary experience? What kind of intimacy is needed to make a text into a work? This essay seeks to answer these questions by focusing on the writings of Arvind Krishna Mehrotra. In do- ing so, it suggests that the challenges of cultural distance may be most acute when dealing with texts from homo-linguistic literary environments, and that we might overcome these challenges by undertaking a world literary criticism that attends to localized fields and materials without forgetting the charge of particular works.

  • A Travelling Tale: Shakespeare on the Italian Stage Considers the Transposition from Page to Stage of Some of Shakespeare’S Plays in Italy
    Maria Coduri A Travelling Tale: Shakespeare on the Italian Stage Thesis submitted for the Degree of MPhil January 2013 Departments of Italian and English School of European Languages, Culture and Society University College London University of London 1 DECLARATION I, Maria Coduri, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis considers the transposition from page to stage of some of Shakespeare’s plays in Italy. In particular it concentrates on different approaches to Shakespeare’s texts and different ways to transform them into theatrical action. The first chapter has an introductory function, and lays the groundwork for subsequent discussion. It illustrates the encounter between the work of the English playwright and the Italian people through an overall view of the reception of Shakespeare in Italy from the first mention of his name in 1667 to Francesco De Sanctis’s critical writings in the mid- nineteenth century. The following chapters discuss how Shakespeare’s plays have been adapted for the stage by some prominent Italian actors and directors. The focus is on three periods of the history of Italian theatre. The Great Actors of the mid-nineteenth century offered stagings of Shakespeare’s plays that focused on the main character, thus depriving them of anything that did not enhance the role of the lead actor. The generation of the directors, that flourished in Italy in the mid-twentieth century, advocated a philological reading of the playtexts, after they had been so severely altered by the generation of the actors.
