Описание: Sixty-sixth annual volume, taking in a range of topics relating to the literature of the period, from the power of naming to Shakespeare and Spenser, Herbert, Margaret Tyler and Margaret Cavendish, and Ben Jonson.
At a time when college football players routinely take under-the-table cash from boosters, when a player's father shops his son to the highest bidder, when a coach discovers violations by his players and sweeps them under the rug, the story of Stewart Ferguson and the Wandering Weevils is a timely reminder that the game wasn't always saturated with money and corruption - that there once was a team that played the game for laughs.
