Sinopsis

In "Christmas at Monticello with Thomas Jefferson," Helen Topping Miller transports readers to the festive celebrations at Thomas Jefferson's renowned estate, Monticello, during the early 19th century. Through a blend of historical narrative and rich sensory detail, Miller captures the essence of holiday traditions and the cultural milieu of the time. The book is not merely a recounting of events; it situates Jefferson within a larger context of American history, exploring the intersection of personal, political, and celebratory realms during a pivotal era. Helen Topping Miller, a historian and author passionate about American history, was profoundly influenced by her own background and education, which emphasized the significance of understanding the personal lives of historical figures. Her meticulous research into Jefferson'Äôs private letters and diaries enriches the narrative, revealing his character and the values he espoused. Miller's previous works also reflect her interest in the interplay between history and personal narratives, making her an apt author for this exploration of a deeply human side of an iconic president. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in American history, holiday traditions, or the life of Thomas Jefferson. It offers a unique glimpse into the celebrations of the past, inviting readers to reflect on how these traditions have evolved while providing insight into the complex figure of Jefferson himself. Miller's engaging prose and thorough research make this work a valuable addition to both historical literature and seasonal reading.

    Foreword by Professor Emma Smith.The more you explore the plays of Shakespeare, the more you realise how they are an interrelated network of ideas and themes - linked to his context, his audience and his understanding of the world. In Bringing Forth the Bard, Zoe Enser equips busy teachers with the core knowledge that will enable them to make links between the themes, characters, language and allusions in Shakespeare's oeuvre. Each chapter includes tips on how to bring his plays to life in the classroom, and features case studies from practising teachers in a range of contexts to illustrate how they can ensure that their students develop an appreciation of his work - moving beyond the requirements of exams and empowering them to engage in the discussion around his influence and enduring appeal.Underpinned by the author's academic enquiries on the subject, at both undergraduate and master's level, the book enables teachers to access the information they need in order to enrich their teaching beyond a single play and begin to unpick the threads of Shakespeare's work as a whole. The link between subject knowledge and pedagogical approaches runs throughout the book, focusing on the Shakespeare plays most popularly taught in the classroom and how we can enrich students' understanding of these by looking both at the links across the domain and the bigger picture his work presents.Zoe builds a detailed schema of Shakespeare's work, his world, his ideas and his influences - and offers signposts to further reading and provides an appendix which will support teachers to rapidly find references to the plays they are teaching, and the ideas related to them.Suitable for teachers of English in all phases.
