Beschreibung

In "Daniel Defoe," William Minto offers a comprehensive critical study of one of England's most innovative and controversial writers. Minto meticulously examines Defoe's life, exploring his development as a novelist and pamphleteer against the backdrop of the early 18th-century literary scene. With a clear investigative approach, Minto delves into Defoe's diverse body of work, including his renowned novel "Robinson Crusoe," revealing how his realist style and themes of individualism and survival reflect the socio-political currents of his time. Minto's adept analysis provides readers with invaluable insights into Defoe's narrative techniques and his contributions to the rise of the English novel, placing him firmly within the literary tradition of his era. William Minto, a respected Scottish critic and novelist, wrote extensively on various literary subjects, grounding his assertions in both personal literary scholarship and the broader historical context. His thorough understanding of the complexities surrounding Defoe's life—marked by political turmoil, financial struggles, and a keen awareness of societal issues of the time—shapes the nuanced critique found in this work. Minto's insights are not only grounded in literary analysis but also deeply informed by the historical backdrop of early 18th-century England. "Daniel Defoe" is an essential read for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of English literature. Minto's eloquent prose and critical acuity illuminate the depth of Defoe's influence on the novel as a genre and his enduring relevance. This book serves as both an introduction to Defoe's work and a vital resource for any reader seeking to understand the intricate interplay between literature and society during a pivotal period in literary history.

    A Social History of Truth -...

    How do we come to trust our knowledge of the world? What are the means by which we distinguish true from false accounts? Why do we credit one observational statement over another? In A Social History of Truth, Shapin engages these universal questions through an elegant recreation of a crucial period in the history of early modern science: the social world of gentlemen-philosophers in seventeenth-century England. Steven Shapin paints a vivid picture of the relations between gentlemanly culture and scientific practice. He argues that problems of credibility in science were practically solved through the codes and conventions of genteel conduct: trust, civility, honor, and integrity. These codes formed, and arguably still form, an important basis for securing reliable knowledge about the natural world. Shapin uses detailed historical narrative to argue about the establishment of factual knowledge both in science and in everyday practice. Accounts of the mores and manners of gentlemen-philosophers are used to illustrate Shapin's broad claim that trust is imperative for constituting every kind of knowledge. Knowledge-making is always a collective enterprise: people have to know whom to trust in order to know something about the natural world.

    The Biggest Civil War Battles of...

    Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War and its biggest battles, particularly Gettysburg, Antietam, and Shiloh, all of which involved Robert E. Lee or Ulysses S. Grant. But one of the 6 biggest battles of the war, and the one that took the heaviest toll by % on both armies was fought at the end of 1862 in Tennessee, and it involved neither of those generals. Though Stones River is mostly overlooked as a Civil War battle today, it had a decisive impact on the war. The two armies had both suffered nearly 33% casualties, an astounding number in 1862. 
    Of all the Civil War battles fought, and of all the victories achieved by Robert E. Lee at the command of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, the Battle of Chancellorsville is considered the most tactically complex and ultimately the most brilliant Confederate victory of the war. However, it cost them Stonewall Jackson, and the reorganization of the armies and the battle itself played an influential role in the way the Pennsylvania Campaign and the Battle of Gettysburg unfolded later that summer.  
    Without question, the most famous battle of the American Civil War took place outside of the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which happened to be a transportation hub, serving as the center of a wheel with several roads leading out to other Pennsylvanian towns. From July 1-3, Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army of Northern Virginia tried everything in its power to decisively defeat George Meade’s Union Army of the Potomac, unleashing ferocious assaults that inflicted nearly 50,000 casualties in all.  
    While many read about the siege of Vicksburg in the summer of 1863, as well as the desperate straits the Confederate soldiers and Vicksburg residents found themselves in, Grant’s initial attempts to advance towards Vicksburg met with several miserable failures, and it took several months just to get to the point where the Union forces could start a siege.
