Beschreibung

Beadle's Dime National Speaker, Embodying Gems of Oratory and Wit captures a rich tapestry of eloquence and humor, reflecting the literary zeitgeist of 19th-century America. The anthology stands as a testament to the variegated styles of rhetoric and wit that marked an era of dynamic cultural discourse. From soaring speeches that evoke the fervor of public life to incisive humor that mirrors society's quirks, the collection resonates with voices that once stirred the nation's conscience. Each piece, emerging as a gem of expression, showcases the ability of language to inspire, entertain, and provoke thought. The anthology features celebrated figures such as Daniel Webster and C. H. Spurgeon, whose formidable oratory and persuasive skills are legendary. These works are augmented by softer, yet equally potent voices like Metta Victoria Victor and Alfred Domett, whose contributions underscore the broader cultural narratives at play. United by their engagement with the zeitgeist, the contributing authors bring together a diversity of perspectives, themes, and cultural insights that align with key historical movements like Transcendentalism and the burgeoning national identity narrative. Beadle's Dime National Speaker offers an unparalleled journey into the rich world of 19th-century oration and wit, a confluence of styles that engages the contemporary reader through its depth and relevance. It harbors transformative potential for readers eager to explore the intersections of eloquence and humor across diverse voices, shedding light on societal changes and enduring themes. This collection invites both scholars and enthusiasts to explore its multitude of perspectives, gaining educational enrichment and inspiration from the dialogues it cultivates within its pages.

    In striking photography and informative text, this volume both celebrates and mourns Eastern European Jewish life of the early- to mid-twentieth century.From Odessa to Budapest, Warsaw, Prague, and Sarajevo, the Jews of Eastern Europe established thriving, traditional communities . And while there are still proud Jews who keep the Kehilla robust in the region, they are a shadow of their former glory. In The Last Jews of Eastern Europe, Yale Strom and photographer Brian Blue record a way of life that largely disappeared through the torment, violence, and upheaval of the twentieth century. Through the USSR, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, and Bulgaria, this volume records the three great blows to Eastern European Jewry: the historical persecution of the Jews who suffered the envy of their neighbors; the slaughter of millions during World War II; and the loss of those who accepted the aliyah to Israel. It also records how the Jews of Eastern Europe laugh, weep, and sing.

    Christina MacDonald MacQueen (1884–1959) was born on St Kilda and grew up there at the close of the 19th century. Yearning for the bright modern world beyond the island, she was the first woman to leave of her own accord in 1909, settling in Glasgow. During the crisis that led to the islands' evacuations in 1929-30, she wrote a series of passionate articles about her childhood and the history of the islands. These writings about St Kilda offer a personal and uniquely female perspective on the island's story and its imminent abandonment.
    This book includes all seventeen of her articles, which tell the full history of the island as she understood it, and sets their publication against the dates of the evacuation. These are complemented by a historical introduction and commentary. Despite extensive literature on the story of St Kilda, Christina's contributions have been largely overlooked by historians, though they offer valuable insights into the island's history and the evacuation's impact. To compliment the articles written by Christina, this volume includes a collection of photographs taken by her husband, Robert Chalmers, in 1930.
