Adrienne Clay '97, co-editor University of California Press, 2000 Acclaimed by Ebony magazine as "one of those rare publishing events that generate as much excitement in the cloistered confines of the academy as they do in the general public," this set of books chronicles one of the 20th century's most dynamic intellects. In Volume IV, King confronts the sudden demands of celebrity while trying to identify the next step in the burgeoning struggle for equality. The volume covers the years 1957 and 1958.

Turning Toward Philosophy Literary Device and Dramatic Structure in Plato's Dialogues Jill Gordon (philosophy) Pennsylvania State University Press, 1999 We know Plato has had a profound impact on philosophical thought, but what is it about his dialogues-and their construction-that is compelling? Gordon shows how Plato's literary techniques engage readers in philosophy and attract them toward the philosophical life. Gordon builds a detailed analysis of literary devices on dramatic form, character development, irony and image making. The Everything Get-A-Job Book Steven Graber '90 Adams Media Corporation, 2000 Looking for your first, second or even 10th job?

Visions of Voices: An anthology of poetry by genre Mark Shovan '67, editor booktech.com, 2000 Shovan, a teacher of English at Brooks School in North Andover, Mass., has produced a textbook intended to take the frustration out of reading poetry. Acknowledging that some high school students come to poetry with "negative preconceptions," Shovan has separated poems into categories according to voice and device. Interior monologue, letter narration, biography, memoir: these designations allow students and instructors alike to better listen to the voice of the poet. |
