Sinossi

In "The Rise of Historical Criticism," Oscar Wilde presents a compelling examination of the influence of historical context on literature and art. Through an elegant prose style interwoven with artistic wit, Wilde critiques the rigid conventions of his time, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of texts that acknowledges the socio-political forces shaping them. His engagement with the philosophical tenets of romanticism and the emerging modernist trajectory situates this work at a pivotal moment in literary discourse, reflecting early debates around the intersection of history and criticism in the late 19th century. Oscar Wilde, a key figure of the Aesthetic Movement, was deeply influenced by his immersion in classical literature and vibrant cultural currents of his era. His own experiences with censorship and his trials against public morality, especially regarding his famous trials in 1895, provided him unique insight into the interplay of personal identity and historical context, motivating him to challenge conventional literary interpretations through this work. This book is essential for scholars and readers intrigued by the foundations of literary criticism and its historical underpinnings. Wilde's sharp intellect and passionate engagement with enduring questions about art, truth, and the past invite readers to reevaluate their understanding of literature and its contextual influences.

    The late Van Slayden trained on the PT-3 kite-like biplane in 1937, but he learned fighter pilot operations flying "by the seat of his pants," walking away from five crashes. Shortly after the invasion of Normandy, he landed on Utah Beach to help establish a US Army Air Forces' (AAF's) presence in Europe. He flew the P-47 Thunderbolt, a fighter-bomber, in combat over Northern France and commanded the 36th Fighter Group-the "Fightin' 36th-at Batogne, St. Vith, the Bridgehead at Remagen, Operations Grenade, Clarion, Varsity and other missions. His 22nd Fighter Squadron was the first in the AAF to land voluntarily on German soil. 
     
     
     
    He was deep into Germany when the Nazis surrendered on May 8, 1945, which was remarkably anticlimactic. Van Slayden, a country boy from rural Tennessee, like so many of his contemporaries, stepped up to the challenge as part of the Greatest Generation.

    Psychopathy is a complex personality disorder characterized by a unique set of emotional, interpersonal, and behavioral traits. Individuals with psychopathy often exhibit a profound lack of empathy, manipulativeness, and an inability to form deep emotional connections. They are skilled at deception and can appear charming and charismatic, which allows them to navigate social situations with ease while hiding their true nature. 
    One of the most defining traits of psychopathy is emotional detachment. Psychopaths do not experience emotions in the same way that most people do. While they may understand emotions on an intellectual level, they lack the ability to genuinely feel them, particularly emotions such as guilt, remorse, or love. This emotional deficit makes them highly adept at exploiting others without any sense of moral conflict. They can feign emotions convincingly, using charm and flattery to manipulate those around them for personal gain. 
    Manipulativeness is another hallmark of psychopathy. Psychopaths use deception and persuasion to control others, often without their victims realizing it. They are highly strategic and will adjust their behavior based on what benefits them the most in a given situation. Because they lack empathy, they do not hesitate to lie, cheat, or deceive if it serves their interests.
