Описание: Book by Samuel Johnson, published in 1775. The Journey was the result of a three-month trip to Scotland that Johnson took with James Boswell in 1773. It contains Johnson's descriptions of the customs, religion, education, trade, and agriculture of a society that was new to him.
The account in Boswell's diary, published after Johnson's death as The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides, with Samuel Johnson, LL.D. (1785), offers an intimate personal record of Johnson's behavior and conversation during the trip.

Описание: Edinburgh-born James Boswell, at 22, kept a daily diary of his eventful second stay in London from 1762 to 1763. This journal presents a record of adventures ranging from his recounted love affair with a Covent Garden actress to his first amusingly bruising meeting with Samuel Johnson, to whom Boswell would later become both friend and biographer.
Описание: The Wallace Effect explores David Foster Wallace’s contested space at the forefront of 21st-century American fiction. Pioneering Wallace scholar Marshall Boswell does this by illuminating “The Wallace Effect”—the aura of literary competition that Wallace routinely summoned in his fiction and non-fiction and that continues to inform the reception of his work by his contemporaries. A frankly combative writer, Wallace openly challenged his artistic predecessors as he sought to establish himself as the leading literary figure of the post-postmodern turn. Boswell challenges this portrait in two ways. First, he examines novels by Wallace’s literary patriarchs and contemporaries that introduce innovations on traditional metafiction that Wallace would later claim as his own. Second, he explores four novels published after Wallace’s ascendency that attempt to demythologize Wallace’s persona and his literary preeminence. By re-situating Wallace’s work in a broader and more contentious literary arena, The Wallace Effect traces both the reach and the limits of Wallace’s legacy.

Critically examines influential novels in English by eminent black female writers
Studying these writers' key engagements with nationalism, race and gender during apartheid and the transition to democracy, Barbara Boswell traces the ways in which black women's fiction criticality interrogates narrow ideas of nationalism. She examines who is included and excluded, while producing alternative visions for a more just South African society. This is an erudite analysis of ten well-known South African writers, spanning the apartheid and post-apartheid era: Miriam Tlali, Lauretta Ngcobo, Farida Karodia, Agnes Sam, Sindiwe Magona, Zo Wicomb, Rayda Jacobs, Yvette Christians , Kagiso Lesego Molope, and Zukiswa Wanner. Boswell argues that black women's fiction could and should be read as a subversive site of knowledge production in a setting, which, for centuries, denied black women's voices and intellects. Reading their fiction as theory, for the first time these writers' works are placed in sustained conversation with each other, producing an arc of feminist criticism that speaks forcefully back to the abuse of a racist, white-dominated, patriarchal power.

Описание:
How does one explain the poverty and marginalization of a group that lives in a remarkably successful economy and peaceful society? A native anthropologist, the author provides critical insight into the dynamics of contemporary Mauritian society. In her meticulously researched study of ethnic, gender and racial discrimination in Mauritius, she addresses debates carried out in many developing societies on subaltern identities, ethnicity, poverty and social injustice. The book therefore also offers important empirical material for scholars interested in the wider Indian Ocean region and beyond.

Описание: NEW Testament scholar Brad Chase is highly skeptical when Rebecca Chatsworth, a graduate student in journalism, tells him she has just stumbled across two recently discovered Dead Sea scrolls. His doubts quickly fade, however, when he learns that one of the scrolls is written in a form of Aramaic spoken by Jesus of Nazareth himself Soon Brad and Rebecca are caught up in a world-wide controversy as extremists on all sides, both religious and secular, struggle against the possibility that this "Dead Sea Gospel" may irrefutably reveal truths about Jesus never before adequately confronted. Few books today so boldly search out the verifiable realities concerning Jesus. The DaVinci Code was fiction based on fiction. The Dead Sea Gospel is fiction based on facts.
