Sinossi

S. Baring-Gould's "The Book of Were-Wolves" is a seminal text in the study of lycanthropy and its cultural manifestations, weaving together folklore, history, and acute psychological insight. Written in the late 19th century, the book is characterized by a meticulous blend of empirical research and captivating narrative style, reflecting the era's burgeoning interest in the paranormal as well as the romantic ideals of the Gothic. Baring-Gould examines a plethora of werewolf legends from various cultures, grounding supernatural lore in tangible reality and exploring the psychological implications of such transformations, thus enriching the literary context of horror and the uncanny that thrived during the Victorian period. S. Baring-Gould was not only a prolific writer but an astute scholar with a deep-seated fascination for mythology and folklore, having published extensively on various topics, including religious studies and local history. His diverse background and interests informed his examination of lycanthropy; witnessing the complexities of human nature and history led him to explore how mythologies evolve from societal fears and desires. Baring-Gould's insight into the human psyche, combined with his thorough research, allows readers to encounter werewolves not merely as monsters but as reflections of deeper truths. In "The Book of Were-Wolves," readers are invited to traverse the thin boundary between reality and myth. The book serves well both scholars of folklore and casual readers who crave a deeper understanding of the mythos surrounding werewolves. Baring-Gould's exploration will captivate anyone interested in the darker aspects of human nature and the lore that emerges from it, making this an essential read for those drawn to the enigmatic and the eerie.

The Republican House Divided -...

Tim Galsworthy

How the Republican Party transformed from the Party of Lincoln to the Party of Lee 
 
The Republican House Divided is the first comprehensive study of the relationships between the Republican Party and Civil War memory in the twentieth century. Tim Galsworthy reveals how rival Republicans deployed Civil War memory to support, oppose, and ultimately shape the GOP's transformation, during the civil rights era, into a racially conservative party. Drawing on extensive archival research, Galsworthy underlines how references to the past were vitally important to Republican Party politicians as they negotiated their party's positions toward African American civil rights and attempted to appeal to erstwhile white Southern Democrats. Paying attention to a range of actors—including national party leaders, southern conservatives, prominent progressives, and defiant Black Republicans—he traces the actions of Republican politicians and operatives from across the party's ideological and geographical spectrums as they struggled to control and direct party messaging, strategy, and policy. The Republican House Divided is a timely work, offering insight into how the "Party of Lincoln" started on the road to becoming the GOP of today.
