William Hope reads leisurely but with feeling, offering listeners the illusion that the author is speaking directly to them. The abridgements are not substantive, so listeners will feel that they have become acquainted with the complexities of a text that is both orderly and sprinkled with irony and other literary devices. The chapters are tastefully set off by musical interludes that complement Thoreau's own rhythms. Not only is this an excellent alternative for students assigned to read the text that is often offered in tiny print without benefit of margins, but it is also possible to suggest this to thoughtful teens who are seeking an intellectually engaging listening experience for their personal enjoyment. Hope's pacing invites readers with minimal skills to accompany their print foray with his narration. The careful editing here assures that they will not become lost between page and sound.<BR><I>Francisca Goldsmith, Berkeley Public Library, CA </I><BR>Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. <em>--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.</em><br /><p>Call #: <a href=http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b9631210>PS3048 .A1 2004c</a></p></td></tr></table>http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b96312105/22/2013<table><tr><td width='130' style='padding:7px 0px 7px 0px'; valign='top'><a href=http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b9545122><img src='http://images.amazon.com/images/P/9780983934622.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg' style='border-style: none'/></a><p><center><a href=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/9780983934622>View title at<br>Amazon.com</a></center>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p></td><td><br /><p>Call #: <a href=http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b9545122>PS3602.I544 W48 2013</a></p></td></tr></table>http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b95451225/22/2013<table><tr><td width='130' style='padding:7px 0px 7px 0px'; valign='top'><a href=http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b9463279><img src='http://images.amazon.com/images/P/193420062X.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg' style='border-style: none'/></a><p><center><a href=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/193420062X>View title at<br>Amazon.com</a></center>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p></td><td> <h3 class="productDescriptionSource" >About the Author</h3> <div class="productDescriptionWrapper" > Hannah Gamble has received writing and teaching fellowships from Rice University, The University of Houston, and The Edward F.

If you think that academics now only write for each other, this book will come as a revelation . . . In his acknowledgments, Gura writes that his book was partly inspired by Edmund Wilson&#8217;s magisterial <I>Patriotic Gore: Studies in the Literature of the American Civil War</I>. Future scholars will be comparably inspired by <I>Truth&#8217;s Ragged Edge</I>.&#8221;<BR><B>&#8212;Michael Dirda, <I>The Washington Post<BR><BR></I></B>&#8220;[Gura] breathes new life into old and largely forgotten novels . . . this book creatively revives the age of ecstatic religion, the steam locomotive, and the daguerreotype. It charts the steady rise of female authorship and of a book-hungry American middle class. It captures the movement, as one later chapter heading reads, &#8216;from a theology of the feelings to an ethic of love.&#8217; And it contrasts with the thoughtless dependence of generations reared on soap operas and video games, recovering the unfamiliar contours of a stricter society that somehow gave birth to a thoughtful individualism.&#8221;<BR><B>&#8212;<I>The Advocate</I> (Baton Rouge)<BR><BR></B>&#8220;Gura provides a long-awaited new map of American fiction.&#8221;<BR>&#8212;<B><I>The American Scholar<BR><BR></I></B>&#8220;Literary criticism on a grand scale.&#8221;<BR>&#8212;<B><I>Harvard Magazine<BR><BR></I></B>&#8220;Those who agree with Hemingway&#8217;s claim that Huckleberry Finn created all modern American fiction will find this study of our pre-Twain literary tradition illuminating . . . Gura tempers this book&#8217;s thrill of discovery over forgotten voices and stories with a still-relevant warning that the fearless individualism of American fiction can come dangerously close to solipsism.&#8221;<BR>&#8212;<B><I>Publishers Weekly<BR><BR></I></B>&#8220;Philip F. Gura has written the most ambitious, most comprehensive study ever attempted of American fiction from its beginnings to 1868. You will find here some novelists you&#8217;ve never heard of alongside old friends such as Cooper, Hawthorne, and Melville. By looking at novels thematically, and in the light of American religious history, Gura has produced a profoundly new kind of literary history, one linked beyond dispute to American theological concerns and American religious life. This book will change the way you look at the American novel. A grand achievement.&#8221; <BR>&#8212;<B>Robert D. Richardson, Bancroft Prize&#8211;winning author of <I>William James: In the Maelstrom of American Modernism<BR><BR></I></B>&#8220;Updated literary history at its very best. By assimilating recent rediscoveries of Afro-American and women&#8217;s fictions&#8212;and adding new insights and new titles of his own&#8212;Philip F. Gura has given us the only comprehensive study of the tumultuous, ever-growing marketplace of the early American novel. He shows us how the &#8216;sentimental&#8217; tradition of women&#8217;s domestic fiction became an unexpected vehicle for conveying spiritual and social heresy.&#8221; <BR>&#8212;<B>John McWilliams, College Professor, Middlebury College<BR><BR></B>&#8220;Most modern-day readers wander into early American fiction as if it were the back lot of an old movie studio&#8212;full of strangely garbed frontiersmen ready for wilderness adventure. <I>Truth&#8217;s Ragged Edge </I>brilliantly brings us face-to-face with dozens of fictional characters much more like us&#8212;urban, introspective, worried about moral survival in a money-grubbing society. Philip F. Gura&#8217;s book has created a new genealogy of American anxiety.&#8221; <BR>&#8212;<B>Richard Rabinowitz, President, American History Workshop<BR><BR></B>&#8220;Philip F. Gura&#8217;s capacious book offers insightful literary analyses, deft book summaries, and concise biographies of authors that will be of great use to those interested in American fiction during its formative period.&#8221;<BR>&#8212;<B>David S. Reynolds, award-winning author of <I>Walt Whitman&#8217;s</I> <I>America: A Cultural Biography<BR><BR></I></B>&#8220;<I>Truth&#8217;s Ragged Edge </I>will allow you to reengage the classic novelists of the nineteenth century and to discover the long-neglected ones as well. Philip F. Gura packs a wealth of information about the early American novel into this illuminating study, and he writes movingly about novelists wrestling with the ideals and realities of democratic liberalism.&#8221;<BR>&#8212;<B>Robert S.

The splintered stories keep their urgency even as they lose their drift. The note of sadness struck in the dedication swells and echoes through the wreckage of narrative, reaching a pitch of extraordinary anguish. This meta-fiction is deeply moving." <I>&#8212;The Wall Street Journal</I> </P>"A potent and thoughtful exploration of the bonds between fathers and children." <I>&#8212;The </I><I>Washington Post</I></P>"Everett is one of the most gifted and versatile of contemporary writers. . . . His work takes hold of us and won't let go."&#160;<I>&#8212;</I>Alan Cheuse, NPR.org</P>"Though funny, the novel also possesses a terrible and still sadness, concerning as it does not only William Styron and Nat Turner but also aging and death, the tragic hatred of racists, the depth of solitude at life's end. . . . The book, though it's frequently philosophical, is not in the least boring. Dear reader, how that impressed me! For there are times when philosophy can be less than action-packed. This is not one of them. Therefore, I heartily commend this book to you. It's like a carnival ride, but not the kind where you vomit. . . . <I>Percival Everett </I>numbers among his very best." <I>&#8212;</I>Lydia Millet<I>, Los </I><I>Angeles Times</I></P>"Funny, insightful, and unpredictable. . . . Everett is a master of his trade." <I>&#8212;</I><I>Time Out Chicago</I></P>"Possessed by a loopy, madcap energy. . . . [Everett] demonstrates that a literary work can be cerebral, emotionally affecting, and highly readable at the same time. The novel also turns out to be relentlessly funny."<I>&#160;&#8212;Paste Magazine</P></I>"In a more perfect world the novelist Percival Everett would dominate the bestseller list to such a degree that they would need to give him his own category, <I>Harry Potter</I> style. . . . The man is practically A Goddamn National Treasure."&#160;<I>&#8212;</I>Alex Balk, <I>The Awl</P></I>"Witty [and] perceptive . . . Everett's writing is dazzling throughout."&#160;<I>&#8212;PopMatters</I></P>"[Contains] scenes of great emotional authenticity. . . . Everett's metafictional reflections on identity will further solidify his critical reputation."<I>&#160;&#8212;Shelf Awareness</I></P>"Everett gives us a work of fiction that grapples with grief, the fragility of human life, death, relationships, loneliness, and yearning for purpose. . . We are left breathless, with heartache and with the understanding we are all made of stories, nothing but products of our diverging and converging plot lines that eventually will come to an inexorable point." <I>&#8212;ZYZZYVA</I></P>"[Percival Everett is] so humanely adept at getting to the heart of the human condition. . . . Everett has created much more than an exercise in unreliable narration, an exploration of the nature of language and the rationales we create to keep ourselves going as we grow old. By the conclusion, every sentence, indeed every word, has come to seem like a valuable key, not just to this puzzle of a novel, but to the meaning of existence." <I>&#8212;</I><I>Publishers Weekly</I></P>"[<I>Percival Everett by Virgil Russell</I> is] an innovative exploration of the outer limits of narrative ambiguity, and it's also a deeply felt book about a father and a son. . . . An intriguing and intricate puzzle of a novel." <I>&#8212;</I><I>Booklist</I> <P></P>"The heart of storytelling and the heart of a complicated man beat together in this extraordinary meditation on love, language, and the irrevocable action of time. Who tells whose story when and why and how do we know when it's over? For Everett, it's never over, and it's never enough, and it's the very best thing we've got. A novel of surpassing intelligence, grief, and tenderness." <I>&#8212;</I>Stacey D'Erasmo, author of <I>The Sky Below</I> <P></P>"Within [a] narrative labyrinth, the novel is much more than an academic exercise . . . as it searches for the possibility of meaning in life as well as narrative and meditates on the process of aging and the inevitability of death." <I>&#8212;</I><I>Kirkus Reviews</I> <P><br /><p>Call #: <a href=http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b9615287>PS3555.V34 P47 2013</a></p></td></tr></table>http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b96152874/17/2013<table><tr><td width='130' style='padding:7px 0px 7px 0px'; valign='top'><a href=http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b9605570><img src='http://images.amazon.com/images/P/9781451695861.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg' style='border-style: none'/></a><p><center><a href=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/9781451695861>View title at<br>Amazon.com</a></center>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p></td><td><br /><p>Call #: <a href=http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b9605570>PS3562.O66 P66 2013</a></p></td></tr></table>http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b96055704/17/2013<table><tr><td width='130' style='padding:7px 0px 7px 0px';></td><td><br /><p>Call #: <a href=http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b9614362>PS3501.S475 Q53 2012</a></p></td></tr></table>http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b96143624/17/2013<table><tr><td width='130' style='padding:7px 0px 7px 0px';></td><td><br /><p>Call #: <a href=http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b9605580>PS3572.I63 Z84 2013</a></p></td></tr></table>http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b96055804/17/2013<table><tr><td width='130' style='padding:7px 0px 7px 0px';></td><td><br /><p>Call #: <a href=http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b9387204>PS3603.A7746 S43 2012</a></p></td></tr></table>http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b93872044/17/2013<table><tr><td width='130' style='padding:7px 0px 7px 0px';></td><td><br /><p>Call #: <a href=http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b9602432>PS3561.I483 Z745 2012</a></p></td></tr></table>http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b96024324/17/2013<table><tr><td width='130' style='padding:7px 0px 7px 0px'; valign='top'><a href=http://laurel.lso.missouri.edu/record=b9545903><img src='http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0985023511.01.MZZZZZZZ.jpg' style='border-style: none'/></a><p><center><a href=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0985023511>View title at<br>Amazon.com</a></center>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p></td><td> <h3 class="productDescriptionSource" >About the Author</h3> <div class="productDescriptionWrapper" > Sam Michel is the author of Under the Light, a collection of stories (Knopf), Lincoln Dahl Turns Five (Tyrant Books), and Big Dogs and Flyboys (Southern Methodist University Press).<BR><BR>His fiction has appeared in The Massachusetts Review, The New York Tyrant, Epoch, and elsewhere.

Not only does Beth Sutton-Ramspeck restore some passages omitted by previous editors of the text, her introduction and selection of 'related writings' smartly situate the story and the controversial issues it raises--political, biological, social, architectural, environmental, literary, and economic--in the context of Gilman's life and times." (Gary Scharnhorst, University of New Mexico )<br /><br />"This edition importantly positions Gilman alongside authors often associated with her&#x2014;such as socialist and fellow utopian writer Edward Bellamy&#x2014;and those rarely paired with her, such as nature writer John Muir. Likewise, Herland and Related Writings brings together excerpts from seminal Gilman works with her lesser-known works, and, of real interest, materials that appeared in The Forerunner in 1915 alongside Herland. In her introduction, Beth Sutton-Ramspeck concludes provocatively in speculating on Gilman's response to approaches to her still prescient novel." (Catherine Golden, Skidmore College )<br /><br />"While numerous editions of Herland have appeared in the years since the novel's recovery, Beth Sutton-Ramspeck's Herland and Related Writings will prove an invaluable resource for scholars and students alike. The carefully chosen "Related Writings" consist of selections from Gilman's wide-ranging oeuvre, including, in an inspired editorial decision, materials appearing alongside Herland in the 1915 run of The Forerunner. Ancillary materials usefully complement and clarify Gilman's best-known novel, making this new volume a welcome addition to Gilman scholarship."
