Sinopse

In "An Author's Mind: The Book of Title-pages," Martin Farquhar Tupper explores the intricate relationship between literary creation and its presentation. Tupper employs a unique blend of introspective prose and structured verse to dissect the concepts of authorship, identity, and the role of aesthetic in literature. This work, characterized by its reflective tone and meticulous attention to typographical design, highlights the importance of title-pages as both artistic expressions and gateways to the text. Set within the context of 19th-century literature, Tupper's profound insights echo the emerging romantic sensibilities, challenging readers to consider the significance of form alongside content. Martin Farquhar Tupper (1810–1889) was a celebrated English poet and essayist whose intellectual engagements frequently revolved around the nature of writing and its cultural implications. His background in law and his exposure to various literary circles deeply influenced his philosophy of writing, prompting him to contemplate the intricacies of literary craftsmanship. Tupper's innovative perspectives on authorship were, in part, a response to the shifting literary paradigms of his time, allowing him to carve a niche for himself within the Victorian literary landscape. "An Author's Mind" is a must-read for those intrigued by the intersections of art, literature, and authorship. Tupper's sophisticated analysis invites readers not only to appreciate the visual and conceptual beauty of title-pages but also to ponder the profound questions surrounding creativity and identity in the literary world. This book serves both scholars and casual readers, illuminating the vital role of presentation in the artistic endeavor.

    Spare the Rod traces the history of discipline in schools and its ever-increasing integration with prison and policing, ultimately arguing for an approach to discipline that aligns with the moral community that schools could and should be. 
     
    In Spare the Rod, historian Campbell F. Scribner and philosopher Bryan R. Warnick investigate the history and philosophy of America’s punishment and discipline practices in schools. To delve into this controversial subject, they first ask questions of meaning. How have concepts of discipline and punishment in schools changed over time? What purposes are they supposed to serve? And what can they tell us about our assumptions about education? They then explore the justifications. Are public school educators ever justified in punishing or disciplining students? Are discipline and punishment necessary for students’ moral education, or do they fundamentally have no place in education at all? If some form of punishment is justified in schools, what ethical guidelines should be followed?  
     
    The authors argue that as schools have grown increasingly bureaucratic over the last century, formalizing disciplinary systems and shifting from physical punishments to forms of spatial or structural punishment such as in-school suspension, school discipline has not only come to resemble the operation of prisons or policing, but has grown increasingly integrated with those institutions. These changes and structures are responsible for the school-to-prison pipeline. They show that these shifts disregard the unique status of schools as spaces of moral growth and community oversight and are incompatible with the developmental environment of education. What we need, they argue, is an approach to discipline and punishment that fits with the sort of moral community that schools could and should be.
