    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Twisted Tales from Shakespeare by Richard Armour TWISTED TALES FROM SHAKESPEARE. A limber litterateur, Mr. Armour, not satisfied with having broken the bare bones of history, here beards the Bard and adds not only mustaches and eyeglasses to Shakespearian characters but many a false none and blackened tooth. In the ""General Introduction"" Shakespeare's life, the Elizabethan theater and Shakespeare's development are not confined by any pedagogic plodding; the Appendices add their mutilations to the sonnets and the question of the authorship of the plays. Hamlet Macbeth A Midsummer, Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, The Merchant of Venice and are the plays decontaminated from any sense of pedantry in spite of the hardworking individual introductions. Altogether this should aid and abet any silly moment that might overtake you. Twisted Tales from Shakespeare. Choose your shipping method in Checkout. Costs may vary based on destination.

    Diagnosis Nabj: a Preliminary Study of a Post-Civil Rights Organization

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship Repository DIAGNOSIS NABJ: A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF A POST-CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATION BY LETRELL DESHAN CRITTENDEN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John Nerone, Chair Associate Professor Christopher Benson Associate Professor William Berry Associate Professor Clarence Lang, University of Kansas ABSTRACT This critical study interrogates the history of the National Association of Black Journalists, the nation’s oldest and largest advocacy organization for reporters of color. Founded in 1975, NABJ represents the quintessential post-Civil Rights organization, in that it was established following the end of the struggle for freedom rights. This piece argues that NABJ, like many other advocacy organizations, has succumbed to incorporation. Once a fierce critic of institutional racism inside and outside the newsroom, NABJ has slowly narrowed its advocacy focus to the issue of newsroom diversity. In doing so, NABJ, this piece argues, has rendered itself useless to the larger black public sphere, serving only the needs of middle-class African Americans seeking jobs within the mainstream press. Moreover, as the organization has aged, NABJ has taken an increasing amount of money from the very news organizations it seeks to critique. Additionally, this study introduces a specific method of inquiry known as diagnostic journalism. Inspired in part by the television show, House MD, diagnostic journalism emphasizes historiography, participant observation and autoethnography in lieu of interviewing.

    James Russell Lowell - Poems

    Classic Poetry Series James Russell Lowell - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive James Russell Lowell(22 February 1819 – 12 August 1891) James Russell Lowell was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat. He is associated with the Fireside Poets, a group of New England writers who were among the first American poets who rivaled the popularity of British poets. These poets usually used conventional forms and meters in their poetry, making them suitable for families entertaining at their fireside. Lowell graduated from Harvard College in 1838, despite his reputation as a troublemaker, and went on to earn a law degree from Harvard Law School. He published his first collection of poetry in 1841 and married Maria White in 1844. He and his wife had several children, though only one survived past childhood. The couple soon became involved in the movement to abolish slavery, with Lowell using poetry to express his anti-slavery views and taking a job in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the editor of an abolitionist newspaper. After moving back to Cambridge, Lowell was one of the founders of a journal called The Pioneer, which lasted only three issues. He gained notoriety in 1848 with the publication of A Fable for Critics, a book-length poem satirizing contemporary critics and poets. The same year, he published The Biglow Papers, which increased his fame. He would publish several other poetry collections and essay collections throughout his literary career. Maria White died in 1853, and Lowell accepted a professorship of languages at Harvard in 1854.

So I had best make one thing clear. I am going to recount events differently than you may remember them. I will reach into the stream of memory and pull out this or that pebble that has been cast there by my fate. The pebbles when cast may have had jagged edges, now worn away by the stream. So I tell it as memory permits, and maybe not entirely as it was. This could be called lying, but more charitably it is simply what life gives to each of us as our memories of events are shaped in ways that give us smiles and help us to go on. I do not have transcripts of all the cases in the book, so I recall them as well as I can.

    "TO FULFILL THESE RIGHTS" SPEECHES JUNE 1-2, 1966 WASHINGTON , D. C. Major Addresses at the WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE •• TO FULFILL THESE· RIGHTS." June 1-2, 1966 FOREWORD By Ben W. Heineman, Chairman The White House Conference To Fulfill These Rights was a significant milestone in this nation's drive to remove all the remaining barriers which prevent Negro Americans from full and free participation in our society. More than 2500 men and women, representing every facet of American life, came to Washington on June 1 and 2, 1966, to pool their knowledge, energy and resources in this common cause. Out of their discussions came agreement on basic programs and approaches; the foundation of what should be considered the nation's immediate business in the achievement of equal opportunity. This blueprint for action, published in a separate document, is realistic and attainable. Because their messages played an important role in setting forth these goals, the five addresses to the entire assembly are reprinted in this pamphlet. We believe that these statements by President Lyndon B. Johnson, Vice President Ilube-:t H. Humphrey, Honorary Chairman A. Philip Randolph, Solicitor Gent!ral Thurgood Marshall, and Council Member Roy Wilkins, ~ill be a continuing source of inspiration to all whose support is needed as we, as a nation, move forward to "Fulfill These Rights."
