Indians Illustrated: The Image of Native Americans in the Pictorial Press (History of Communication) John M. Coward University of Illinois Press, The History of Media and Communication, 2016

After 1850, Americans swarmed to take in a raft of new illustrated journals and papers. Engravings and drawings of "buckskinned braves" and "Indian princesses" proved an immensely popular attraction for consumers of publications like Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper and Harper's Weekly . In Indians Illustrated , John M. Coward charts a social and cultural history of Native American illustrations—romantic, violent, racist, peaceful, and otherwise—in the heyday of the American pictorial press. These woodblock engravings and ink drawings placed Native Americans into categories that drew from venerable "good" Indian and "bad" Indian stereotypes already threaded through the culture. Coward's examples show how the genre cemented white ideas about how Indians should look and behave—ideas that diminished Native Americans' cultural values and political influence.

The Newspaper Indian: Native American Identity in the Press, 1820-90 (The History of Media and Communication) Coward, John M. Urbana : University of Illinois Press, c1999., The history of communication, Urbana, Illinois, 1999

<p>Newspapers were a key source for popular opinion in the nineteenth century, and The Newspaper Indian is the first in-depth look at how newspapers and newsmaking practices shaped the representation of Native Americans, a contradictory representation that carries over into our own time. John M. Coward has examined seven decades of newspaper reporting, journalism that perpetuated the many stereotypes of the American Indian.<P>Indians were not described on their own terms but by the norms of the white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant society that wrote and read about them. Beyond the examination of Native American representation (and, more often, misrepresentation) in the media, Coward shows how Americans turned native people into symbolic and ambiguous figures whose identities were used as a measure of American Progress.<P>The Newspaper Indian is a fascinating look at a nation and the power of its press. It provides insight into how Native Americans have been woven with newsprint into the very fabric of American life.</p> <h3>Library Journal</h3> <p>The image of American Indians in the press has been much discussed, but mainly the focus is on limited areas, such as the journalism of a particular state or a particular war or incident. Coward (communications, Univ. of Tulsa) has written a broader work exploring the depiction of Indians in the press from 1820 to 1890. He considers a mix of newspapers, urban and rural, Eastern and Western, examining their coverage of Indian affairs by showing how they treated certain incidents or issues: the removal of the Five Civilized Nations from Georgia in the 1830s, the Sand Creek Massacre in 1865, the Fetterman Fight of 1866, Sitting Bull, and the Indian sympathizer reform movement of the 1870s. Coward provides an intelligent look at the varying American perceptions of Indians in the press and provides a panorama of newspaper development, including the growing influence of the Associated Press. Recommended for American history or communications collections in larger academic libraries.--Charles V. Cowling, Drake Memorial Lib., Brockport, NY</p>

Indians Illustrated: The Image of Native Americans in the Pictorial Press (The History of Media and Communication) John M. Coward University of Illinois Press, The history of communication, 1, 2016

Engravings and drawings of “buckskinned braves” and “Indian princesses” proved an immensely popular attraction for consumers of publications like __Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper__ and __Harper's Weekly__. This book charts a social and cultural history of Native American illustrations—romantic, violent, racist, peaceful, and otherwise—in the heyday of the American pictorial press. These woodblock engravings and ink drawings placed Native Americans into categories that drew from venerable “good” Indian and “bad” Indian stereotypes already threaded through the culture.

Cavalcade of comedy; 21 brilliant comedies from Jonson and Wycherley to Thurber and Coward Louis Kronenberger New York: Simon and Schuster, New York, 1953

xv, 715 pages ; 26 cm Spanning the centuries from Ben Jonson to John Van Druten, this sparkling procession of prose comedies is calculated to excite in the reader every expression of felicity ranging between sly-cat amusement and the most earthy of belly laughs. Louis Kronenberger, distinguished critic, scholar, and director of this cavalcade, has staunchly refused admittance to any laughless failures of merely historical interest and has included only those plays which represent a truly happy union of art and merriment. Moving through these pages is a throng of ageless comic figues with whom all adherents of literary laughter will want to renew acquaintanceship at least twice a year. Congreve's Millamant, the wittiest heroine ever to impale a Restoration blood on a subordinate clause, is here with her incomparably suave Mirabell; Wycherley's Lady Fidget, holding aloft her piece of china, once more emerges from Horner's bedroom to begin one of the funniest scenes in comic literature; Sheridan's Lady Teazle is also present, trapped behind the most famous prop in stage history; and Synge's playboy, conquering his world with an axe and a wild Irish imagination; and O'Casey's Captain Boyle, industriously eluding employment to the dismay of the unforgettable Juno; Shaw's Androcles, meekest of early Christians and the lion's best friend; Thurber and Nugent's Professor Tommy Turner, battling college trustees and discoursing with alcoholic eloquence on the sex life of some improbable animals; and others -- a sportive, colorful company of characters who are very good company indeed. Some of these plays are deliciously urbane, and some are murderously so; some are bawdy, others lyrical; some are lighter than air, and some contain elements of tragedy. Richly diverse in theme and manner, they are all wonderfully good reading. - Jacket flap 21 brilliant comedies from Jonson and Wycherley to Thurber and Coward

ia/misanthropeother0000moli.pdf

The Misanthrope and other plays : Such foolish affected ladies, Tartuffe, the misanthrope, the doctor despite himself, the would-be gentleman, Those learned ladies translated by John Wood and David Coward; with an introduction and notes by David Coward Penguin Classics, Penguin classics, London, England, New York, N.Y., USA, England, 2000

Molire (1622-73) combined all the traditional elements of comedywit, slapstick, spectacle and satirewith a deep understanding of character to create richly sophisticated dramas which have always delighted audiences. Most are built around dangerously deluded and obsessive heroes such as The Would-Be Gentleman and The Misanthrope who threaten to blight the lives of those around them. Such Foolish Affected Ladies and Those Learned Ladies (both newly translated for this edition) expose the extravagant, fashionable fads and snobbery of the Parisian smart set, while the story of the falsely devout Tartuffe and his devoted disciple Orgon attracted huge controversy for its attack on religious hypocrisy. Finally, The Doctor Despite Himself forms a hilarious chapter in Molire's long-standing vendetta against the medical profession. Like Shakespeare, Molire was a true man of the theatre whose comedies blend sharp insight into human nature with an unerring sense of what would work on stage and make people laugh. All his greatest achievements are included here and in the accompanying Penguin Classics volume, The Miser and Other Plays . For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Collision Tectonics. (Papers Presented at William Smith Meeting, April 1983). M. P Coward; Alison C Ries; Geological Society of London Oxford, Eng.: Published for the Geological Society by Blackwell Scientific Publications, Geological Society special publication, ISSN 0305-8719 -- no. 19, Geological Society special publication -- no. 19., Oxford, Eng, England, 1986

The theme of this volume was chosen by Professor Robert Shackleton; it reports papers given at a 2-day William Smith Conference on Collision Tectonics, organized by the Geological Society of London in April 1983. Robert Shackleton gave the William Smith Lecture and chose the main accompanying papers. They reflect his major interests (and achievements) over recent years, particularly in the realms of observational structural and metamorphic geology and the use of detailed field and laboratory measurements in understanding regional tectonics. The aim of the meeting and this subsequent volume was to discuss the geometries, kinematics and mechanics of plate collision, in particular the distribution, sequence and timing of deformation, magmatic and metamorphic processes within a collision zone. Most speakers chose to discuss these problems round a regional framework: the Alps, Himalayas or Namibia, but to summarize the main questions and themes (asked and sometimes partially answered) we would list the following: (a) What deformational and thermal processes operate at the base of the crust during subduction, prior to collision and how can these early processes be distinguished in collisional belts? (b) What is the sequence of deformation during continent-continent or continent-arc collision, how much obduction occurs and is the main deformation in the footwall or hangingwall of a suture? (c) What causes large slabs of ocean floor to obduct over continental margins; is it an integral part of continent-continent collision or does it develop from some other process? (d) During continent-continent obduction what controls the deformation rate, how is the deformation partitioned into overthrusting, pure shear or strike-slip events and how does it relate to rates of plate movement? (e) What are the main mechanisms involved in crustal thickening and what are their implications for the subsequent magmatic, metamorphic and uplift/cooling history? (f) What geophysical, geochemical, structural, stratigraphic or petrological techniques should be used to determine the geometry of a suture and its origin? It will be obvious from the papers in this volume that there is no one simple global answer to these questions, or if there is, it is as yet unknown. Each collision belt has its own character. Sometimes the plates just simply lock together with little deformation, examples being the Caledonian Suture of t

The miser and other plays : The school for wives, The school for wives criticized, Don Juan, The miser, The hypochondriac Molière; translated by John Wood and David Coward; with an introduction and notes by David Coward Penguin Classics, Penguin classics, London, England, New York, N.Y., USA, England, 2000

Molire combined all the traditional elements of comedy - wit, slapstick, spectacle and satire - to create richly sophisticated and enduringly popular dramas. The Miser is the story of Harpagon, a mean-spirited old man who becomes obsessed with making money out of the marriage of his children, while The Hypochondriac, another study in obsession, is a brilliant satire on the medical profession. The School for Wives, in which an ageing domestic tyrant is foiled in his plans to marry his young ward, provoked such an outcry that Molire followed it with The School for Wives Criticized - a witty retort to those who disapproved of the play's supposed immorality. And while Don Juan is the darkest and most tragic of all the plays in this collection, it still mocks the soullessness of the skinflint with scathing irony.

The Misanthrope and Other Plays: The Would-Be Gentleman // The Misanthrope //Such Foolish Affected Ladies // Those Learned Ladies // Tartuffe // The Doctor Despite Himself Moliere, Jean-Baptiste;Wood, John;Coward, David Penguin Books, Limited, Penguin classics, London, England, 2000

Molière (1622-73) combined all the traditional elements of comedy—wit, slapstick, spectacle and satire—with a deep understanding of character to create richly sophisticated dramas which have always delighted audiences. Most are built around dangerously deluded and obsessive heroes such as The Would-Be Gentleman and The Misanthrope who threaten to blight the lives of those around them. Such Foolish Affected Ladies and Those Learned Ladies (both newly translated for this edition) expose the extravagant, fashionable fads and snobbery of the Parisian smart set, while the story of the falsely devout Tartuffe and his devoted disciple Orgon attracted huge controversy for its attack on religious hypocrisy. Finally, The Doctor Despite Himself forms a hilarious chapter in Molière's long-standing vendetta against the medical profession.Like Shakespeare, Molière was a true man of the theatre whose comedies blend sharp insight into human nature with an unerring sense of what would work on stage and make people laugh. All his greatest achievements are included here and in the accompanying Penguin Classics volume, The Miser and Other Plays .

The Princess and the Goblin (Hesperus Minor Classics) George MacDonald; Joseph Delaney Hesperus Press Ltd., Independent Publishers Group, London, 2013

Full of exquisite moonlit scenes that play out like dreams and underground escapades descending into nightmare, this is a must-read for all fantasy aficionados and fans of Tolkien, Lewis, and Rowling Eight-year-old Princess Irene lives a lonely life in a wild, desolate, mountainous kingdom, with only her nursemaid Lootie for company. She is protected from the outside world and oblivious to the existence of goblins, hideous creatures that live underground and only come out at night. One day, while out walking, Irene and Lootie get lost. As night falls, strange shadows creep out from under boulders and around corners, closing in on them. Terrified, they try to run but the goblins give chase. It is then they run into Curdie, the brave miner's son who knows how to scare the goblins away. He leads the pair to safety, back to the castle. While working late one night in the mines Curdie overhears the goblins' diabolical plan. The terrible goblin Queen plans to kidnap the princess and force her to marry her son, so humans will be forced to accept goblins as their rulers. Can they be stopped and the kingdom be saved before it is too late? Before the creation of Middle Earth or Narnia, George MacDonald was inventing wonderful kingdoms and populating them with magical creatures and enchanted beings, such as this unique, compelling fantasy.

M Homes; Mark Mitchell Penguin Books, New York, New York, U.S.A, 1994

This Is An Anthology Of Stories That, In The Words Of Its Co-editor David Leavitt, Illuminate The Experience Of Love Between Men, Explore The Nature Of Homosexual Identity, Or Investigate The Kinds Of Relationships Gay Men Have With Each Other, With Their Friends, And With Their Families. It Is Not A Collection Of Stories Written Exclusively By Gay Authors; Indeed, Readers May Be Surprised To Discover That Some Of Their Favorite Women Writers And Straight Male Writers Have Also Explored The Territory. What The Stories Do Share Is A Refusal To Ghettoize Gay Men As Denizens Of The Gay Nocturnal Subculture. The Men In These Stories Live Very Much In The World; Their Sexuality, Though An Important Aspect Of Their Lives, Doesn't Singularly Define Them. The Thirty-nine Stories Brought Together Here Suggest The Ways In Which Gay Experience Has - And Hasn't - Changed Over The Course Of This Century, Starting With The Tender, Unarticulated Longings Of Two Boys Swimming In D.h. Lawrence's A Poem Of Friendship And Ending With The Explicit Sexual Interaction Of Two Boys In A Bathtub In A.m. Homes's The Whiz Kids. In Between There Is Every Imaginable Kind Of Gay Story, As Offered By Well-known Authors And By Those Less Familiar To The Devotees Of The Genre. There Is Wry Humor In Barbara Pym's Clever Manipulation Of Romantic Convention; Painful Accounts Of Discovery In Larry Kramer's Mrs. Tefillin; The Consolation Of Age In Edmund White's Reprise; And In Randall Kenan's Run, Mourner, Run, The Breaking Of Both Racial And Sexual Taboos. The Anthology Also Encompasses A Richly Diverse Subcategory Of Stories Inspired By Aids, From Such Writers As Allen Barnett, Michael Cunningham, Stephen Greco, Dennis Mcfarland, And Peter Wells: Stories That Explore Not Only The Tragedy Of The Epidemic But Also The Triumphs, Even The Erotic Possibilities, That Have Been Generated In Its Wake. These Stories Illuminate The Common Ground Of Gay Male Experience - As Well As Its Astonishing Diversity.--jacket. A Poem Of Friendship / D.h. Lawrence -- Arthur Snatchfold / E.m.

upload/bibliotik/M/Mike Coward - The Bradman Museum's World of Cricket.epub

The Bradman Museum's: World of Cricket Bradman, Donald George;Coward, Mike Allen & Unwin, Allen & Unwin, Saint Leonards, 2015

During the 2014-15 season Australia stages the eleventh ICC World Cup of Cricket, with fourteen nations competing in 49 fifty-over matches. At the same time the Bradman Museum, a monument to the greatest cricketer of all time, celebrates its 25th anniversary. To mark that milestone at a time when the eyes of the cricketing world will be on Australia, this book reveals for the first time in print the founding treasure of the Bradman Museum: the Don's personal collection of 35-mm slides. With Bradman's typed commentary and handwritten amendments alongside, the slides showcase the history of cricket, from its agrarian beginnings in England to its status as a game of Empire, fit for introduction to the colonies. Grace, Hobbs, Hendren, Larwood, O'Reilly, McCabe, Lindwall, Trueman - on these legends and many more Bradman gives us his opinion with characteristic directness. We gain insight into the game as he saw it in all its magic. While Bradman's personal slide collection forms the centrepiece of this stunning collection, the work of three of cricket's greatest photographers are also featured. Among Bruce Postle's black and white photos from the 1960s and 70s are iconic shots that will thrill any cricket lover. Vivian Jenkins' work brings to life the drama of the 1970s and World Series Cricket, while Philip Brown's camera ranges across international cricket up to the present day. This treasure trove of cricket is woven seamlessly together by the matchless commentary of Mike Coward, one of Australia's most acclaimed experts.

Cavalcade of comedy; 21 brilliant comedies from Jonson and Wycherley to Thurber and Coward Louis Kronenberger New York: Simon and Schuster, New York, 1953

xv, 715 pages ; 26 cm Spanning the centuries from Ben Jonson to John Van Druten, this sparkling procession of prose comedies is calculated to excite in the reader every expression of felicity ranging between sly-cat amusement and the most earthy of belly laughs. Louis Kronenberger, distinguished critic, scholar, and director of this cavalcade, has staunchly refused admittance to any laughless failures of merely historical interest and has included only those plays which represent a truly happy union of art and merriment. Moving through these pages is a throng of ageless comic figues with whom all adherents of literary laughter will want to renew acquaintanceship at least twice a year. Congreve's Millamant, the wittiest heroine ever to impale a Restoration blood on a subordinate clause, is here with her incomparably suave Mirabell; Wycherley's Lady Fidget, holding aloft her piece of china, once more emerges from Horner's bedroom to begin one of the funniest scenes in comic literature; Sheridan's Lady Teazle is also present, trapped behind the most famous prop in stage history; and Synge's playboy, conquering his world with an axe and a wild Irish imagination; and O'Casey's Captain Boyle, industriously eluding employment to the dismay of the unforgettable Juno; Shaw's Androcles, meekest of early Christians and the lion's best friend; Thurber and Nugent's Professor Tommy Turner, battling college trustees and discoursing with alcoholic eloquence on the sex life of some improbable animals; and others -- a sportive, colorful company of characters who are very good company indeed. Some of these plays are deliciously urbane, and some are murderously so; some are bawdy, others lyrical; some are lighter than air, and some contain elements of tragedy. Richly diverse in theme and manner, they are all wonderfully good reading. - Jacket flap 21 brilliant comedies from Jonson and Wycherley to Thurber and Coward
