Beschreibung

In "The Life of the Outlaw (Boxed Set)", George W. Ogden offers a comprehensive exploration of the American outlaw archetype, spanning various historical periods and cultural contexts. This meticulously researched work employs a narrative style that marries vivid storytelling with rigorous scholarship, making it accessible yet profound. Ogden delves into the sociopolitical factors that have shaped the mythos of outlaws in American folklore, examining figures such as Jesse James and Billy the Kid through an analytical lens that reveals deeper societal reflections. The book is divided into themed sections, each providing a nuanced understanding of the interplay between law, morality, and heroism within American history. George W. Ogden, a noted historian and scholar of American folklore, is well-situated to tackle this subject matter. With a background in cultural studies and a passion for the complexities of American identity, Ogden combines academic rigor with a deep understanding of narrative. His previous works have received critical acclaim for their insightful analysis and engaging prose, offering a rich foundation for this boxed set. I highly recommend "The Life of the Outlaw" to readers interested in American history, cultural studies, and the enduring appeal of the outlaw figure. Ogden's engaging narrative style and extensive research provide not only an entertaining read but also a profound examination of the values and tensions that have shaped the American experience.

    The Art of Horsemanship and On...

    Name Xenophon, Morris Morgan

    Xenophon’s The Art of Horsemanship is a highly unusual text in the corpus of Classical Greek literature. It is a short survey on the various aspects of care for horses as seen by a highly experienced rider from the 5th century BCE. It is particularly notable because so many of its observations are relevant to the modern rider. Xenophon, friend of Socrates and professional soldier, is best known as the author Anabasis, the vivid account of a failed military expedition deep into Persia.  
     
    The Art of Horsemanship is very different in tone and content – a practical study from deep personal knowledge gained from working with horses, but none the less fascinating. 
     
     Xenophon considers what features and qualities to look for in a horse – among them broad chest, wide nostrils, prominent eye, supple knees, positive manner– and the sound of the hoof, which indicates good feet. (The ancient Greeks did not shoe their horses). There are even useful tips on approaching the horse to avoid conflict. He discusses training over different terrains and many other useful tips. The translator, Morris H. Morgan, provides extensive notes, not just on technical pointers such as mounting without stirrups or saddle, but also by comparing contemporary sculptures where artists took licence over reality. Furthermore, Morgan provides a fascinating essay The Greek Riding-Horse, which is an extended commentary on Xenophon.  Also on this recording is Xenophon’s On The Cavalry General, a second treatise on horsemanship, but taking a different perspective.
