Beschreibung

In "Emerson and Other Essays," John Jay Chapman delves into the philosophical and literary contributions of Ralph Waldo Emerson, weaving together essays that reflect on Emerson's profound influence on American thought. Chapman employs a rich, lyrical prose style that is both accessible and intellectually stimulating, situating Emerson within the broader context of transcendentalism and its pivotal role in shaping modern American identity. Chapman's reflections are not merely historical but also engage critically with Emerson's ideas, illuminating their relevance in contemporary discourse surrounding individuality, nature, and the self. John Jay Chapman (1862-1933) was a prominent essayist, critic, and social reformer whose extensive engagement with literature and philosophy deeply informed his work. His admiration for Emerson propelled Chapman to explore the themes of moral authority and the inner voice, which resonate throughout this collection. Having lived through transformative periods in American history, Chapman's insights reflect both personal and societal quests for meaning, making his essays not only a tribute to Emerson but also a continuation of his legacy. "Emerson and Other Essays" is a must-read for anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of American literature and philosophy. Chapman's incisive analysis not only enriches Emerson's legacy but also offers modern readers valuable insights into our current existential challenges. This collection will appeal to scholars, students, and general readers alike, inviting them to engage with the lasting impact of Emerson's thought.

    Letters from a WWII Airman: How his faith sustained him, is the true story of one of those men from what we acknowledge as "the "Greatest Generation". Like so many who experienced war, Ken Hathaway (1918-2001) was reluctant to talk about those experiences, but the letters and scrapbooks he left behind contained information that, when pieced together, provided a compelling story of: 
    The experiences of training for and participating in aerial combat in World War II. 
    An account of being interned in a neutral country. 
    The importance of connections with family and friends. 
    The significance of his Christian faith. 
    The wartime romance that developed because of the military service.

    The death of John Smith on 12th May 1994 was one of those events which sticks in the memory. He was cut down at the moment that it looked as if he was set to become the next Prime Minister after a long political career and after successive electoral defeats for his party.
    This book, published to mark the thirtieth anniversary of his death, offers a comprehensive assessment of his leadership of the Labour Party, with chapters written by academic experts, on their chosen fields, and by those who knew him as advisers, MPs and journalists.
    There are two themes running through the book. The first seeks to examine the extent to which there was a John Smith 'effect' in terms of politics and policy and assess whether he succeeded in establishing his own agenda or simply followed that of his predecessor. The second examines the extent to which Smith was a representative of 'Old' Labour or 'New' Labour.
