Synopsis

In "The Common Reader - First Series," Virginia Woolf presents a collection of essays that illuminate her views on literature and the act of reading. Written with her signature modernist flair, these essays bridge the gap between popular and highbrow literary discourse, exploring works from various authors such as Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. Woolf's prose is characterized by its introspective depth and lyrical quality, offering readers a nuanced appreciation of the literary landscape. The context of the early 20th century—marked by burgeoning feminist thought and a reevaluation of cultural norms—profoundly influences her reflections on literature's role in society. Virginia Woolf, a central figure in the modernist movement and a member of the Bloomsbury Group, brought her unique perspectives on gender, art, and society into her writing. Her advocacy for women's voices in literature, fostered by her own experiences as a groundbreaking female author, informs the insightfulness of "The Common Reader." Woolf's keen analytical eye and empathetic understanding of literature's impact on both individuals and communities further enrich this collection, allowing her to dissect cultural landmarks with remarkable clarity. This collection is highly recommended for readers seeking a deeper appreciation of literature's cultural significance and its interconnectedness with personal identity. Woolf's elegant prose and perceptive analyses invite readers to expand their literary horizons, making "The Common Reader - First Series" an essential read for both scholars and casual readers alike.

    Since its founding as a discipline, Black Studies has been under relentless attack by social and political forces seeking to discredit and neutralize it. Our History Has Always Been Contraband was born out of an urgent need to respond to the latest threat: efforts to remove content from an AP African American Studies course being piloted in high schools across the United States. Edited by Colin Kaepernick, Robin D. G. Kelley, and Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Our History Has Always Been Contraband brings together canonical texts and authors in Black Studies, including those excised from or not included in the AP curriculum. 
     
     
     
    Featuring writings by: David Walker, Frederick Douglass, Anna Julia Cooper, Zora Neale Hurston, W. E. B. Du Bois, C. L. R. James, James Baldwin, June Jordan, Angela Y. Davis, Robert Allen, Barbara Smith, Toni Cade Bambara, bell hooks, Barbara Christian, and many others. 
     
     
     
    Our History Has Always Been Contraband excerpts readings that cut across and between literature, political theory, law, psychology, sociology, gender and sexuality studies, queer and feminist theory, and history. This volume also includes original essays by editors Kaepernick, Kelley, and Taylor, elucidating how we got here, and pieces by Brea Baker, Marlon Williams-Clark, and Roderick A. Ferguson detailing how we can fight back.

    Napoleon Bonaparte’s Most...

    Nearly 50 years after Napoleon met his Waterloo, generals across the West continued to study his tactics and engage their armies the same way armies fought during the Napoleonic Era. Despite advances in military technology and the advent of railroads for transportation, all of which made defensive warfare more effective, acclaimed military geniuses like Robert E. Lee used flank attacks and infantry charges against superior numbers in an effort to win decisive victories, and it would not be until World War I that concepts of modern warfare made the Napoleonic Era of the early 19th century outdated. 
    For those questioning why generals continued using tactics from the Napoleonic Era even as technology changed the battlefield, the Battle of Austerlitz may provide the best answer. Napoleon is regarded as one of history’s greatest generals, and Austerlitz was his greatest victory. In 1805, Britain, Austria, and Russia allied together to form the Third Coalition against the French, and the Third Coalition’s forces consisted of armies from Austria and Russia, with Britain providing naval support as well as its financial powers. Napoleon had already defeated and mostly destroyed an Austrian army in October at Ulm before it could link up with the Russians, setting the stage for the Battle of Austerlitz to be the culmination of the war against the Third Coalition as a whole in early December. Despite the smashing victory at Ulm, Napoleon’s French army would still be well outnumbered at Austerlitz by a joint Russo-Austrian army in a battle that would also come to be known as the Battle of Three Emperors.  
    At Waterloo, however, it would end disastrously, as Napoleon’s armies were unable to dislodge Wellington and unable to keep the Prussians from linking up with the British. The battle would end with the French suffering nearly 60% casualties, the end of Napoleon’s reign, and the restructuring of the European map.
