Описание: Taking its cue from Perry Miller’s 1956 classic of American literary criticism, The Raven and the Whale: The War of Words and Wits in the Era of Poe and Melville, Caroline Chamberlin Hellman’s new book examines ways in which contemporary multi-ethnic American writers of the United States have responded to nineteenth- and early twentieth-century texts historically central to the American literary canon.Each chapter of Children of the Raven and the Whale looks down the roads American literature ultimately traveled, examining pairs and constellations of texts in conversation. In their rewritings and layerings of new stories over older ones, contemporary writers forge ahead in their interrogations of a spectrum of American experience, whether they or their characters are native to the United States, first- or second-generation immigrants, or transnational. Revealing the traces of texts by writers such as Walt Whitman, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Richard Wright, and James Baldwin lying beneath contemporary American literature by Chang-rae Lee, Jonathan Lethem, Jhumpa Lahiri, Junot D?az, Joseph O’Neill, Colum McCann, and Ta-Nehisi Coates, Caroline Chamberlin Hellman posits the existence of a twenty-first-century American Renaissance.

Описание: The Chamberlin Reader reveals the origins and methods of legendary American horseman, Harry Chamberlin's riding system and tells the story of how American riding evolved in the twentieth century.
The Chamberlin Reader contains Chamberlin's difficult-to-find writings on:
Jumping
Evaluating horses and their conformation
Re-training off-the-track Thoroughbreds, polo ponies, and cavalry horses
Developing the rider's seat
Riding cross-country
Training methods that helped William Steinkraus win Olympic Gold in 1968
Excerpts from texts that Chamberlin studied at West Point and in the basic and the advanced horsemanship courses at Ft. Riley's Mounted Service School.
And a rich collection of rare photos including:
Never-before-published photos of the Inter-Allied Games of 1919 where the Italian jumping performance causes American officers to question traditional principles
Reprint of a rare French cavalry booklet that describes in photos the Cavalry School at Saumur published when Chamberlin studied there
Photos of Tor di Quinto where Chamberlin astounded his teachers while evaluating the Italian jumping and training methods\
Photos of the 1932 Olympics where the United States won its first Gold medals in Eventing and where Chamberlin won the Silver medal in Stadium Jumping
Photos of the Chamberlin inspired methods of Ft. Riley.
The Chamberlin Reader describes the milestones in Harry Chamberlin's career during which he created the foundation for what George H. Morris calls "The American Jumping Style"and establishes what James Wofford calls "a whole new system" for training horses and riders.
This book is the companion volume to General Chamberlin: America's Equestrian Genius and contains valuable insights into the art and science of riding and training horses.
