Cicero's Brutus

Edition, Textual Commentary, and Study of the Transmission

By: Douglas R. Thomas

Cicero's Brutus is a history of Roman oratory, in the form of a dialogue between Cicero, Atticus, and the eponymous Brutus. This new edition by Douglas R. Thomas presents the first comprehensive study of the transmission of the text, a critical edition of the Latin text, and a textual commentary. The first part of the book presents the study of the manuscript tradition, employng the stemmatic method to establish the relationships between all 107 extant manuscripts of Brutus, and demonstrating that the stemma has three independent branches in the first part of the text and four in the second. The study also shows that the ninth-century Cremona fragment is part of the long-lost archetype, the Codex Laudensis, and that F, the manuscript copied by Niccolò Niccoli, is the source of the majority of the tradition. Brief descriptions are provided of the manuscripts in a catalogue. The second part of the volume presents a new edition of Brutus with critical apparatus, based on the study of the text's transmission. Each textual problem is considered afresh and careful attention is paid to historical evidence and Ciceronian style. The edition is followed by a detailed textual commentary, which discusses a range of significant textual problems.

Statesman

George Mitchell and the Art of the Possible

By: Douglas Rooks

Over the course of his long and storied career, George Mitchell proved to be much more than just that senator from Maine. He is one of the last from a sort of "golden age" of American politics, when opposing parties worked together to accomplish things for the good of the nation, rather than the good of the party. Before becoming senator, Mitchell was an attorney and then a judge in Maine. Among his many public efforts, he is perhaps known for his environmental work and his work on peace and justice, especially his brokering of the peace in Ireland and his efforts in the Middle East. Now, seasoned journalist Douglas Rooks gives us a thoughtful and highly readable look at the man and his public work. While the book traces his personal life, it is primarily a political biography, exploring his time in office as well as his public work before and after his elected terms.Compiled from extensive interviews with Mitchell as well as staffers and others who've known and worked with him, it is as much an exploration of American politics at a time when politics could actually be said to have "worked," as it is a man whose vision and ideals have helped shape the world.

Immigration Policy in the Federal Republic of Germany

Negotiating Membership and Remaking the Nation

By: Douglas B. Klusmeyer,Demetrios G. Papademetriou

German migration policy now stands at a major crossroad, caught between a fifty-year history of missed opportunities and serious new challenges. Focusing on these new challenges that German policy makers face, the authors, both internationally recognized in this field, use historical argument, theoretical analysis, and empirical evaluation to advance a more nuanced understanding of recent initiatives and the implications of these initiatives. Their approach combines both synthesis and original research in a presentation that is not only accessible to the general educated reader but also addresses the concerns of academic scholars and policy analysts. This important volume offers a comprehensive and critical examination of the history of German migration law and policy from the Federal Republic’s inception in 1949 to the present.

Quoting Shakespeare

Form and Culture in Early Modern Drama

By: Douglas Bruster

William Shakespeare is perhaps the most frequently quoted author of the English-speaking world. His plays, in turn, "quote" a wide variety of sources, from books and ballads to persons and events. In this dynamic study of Shakespeare's plays, Douglas Bruster demonstrates that such borrowing can illuminate the world in which Shakespeare and his contemporary playwrights lived and worked, while also shedding light on later cultures that quote his plays. In contrast to the New Historicism's sometimes arbitrary linkage of literary works with elements drawn from the surrounding culture, Quoting Shakespeare focuses on the resources that writers used in making their works. Bruster shows how this borrowing can give us valuable insight into the cultural, historical, and political positions of writers and their works. Because Shakespeare's plays have often been quoted by other writers, this study also examines what subsequent uses of Shakespeare's plays reveal about the writers and cultures that use them. In this way, Quoting Shakespeare insists that literary production and reception are both integral to a historical approach to literature.

Democracy in Desperation

The Depression of 1893

By: Douglas Steeples,David O. Whitten

The Panic of 1893 and the depression it triggered mark one of the decisive crises in American history. Devastating broad sections of the country like a tidal wave, the depression forced the nation to change its way of life and altered the pattern and pace of national development ever after. The depression served as the setting for the transformation from an agricultural to an industrial society, exposed grave economic and social problems, sharply tested the country's resourcefulness, reshaped popular thought, and changed the direction of foreign policy. It was a crucible in which the elements of the modern United States were clarified and refined. Yet no study to date has examined the depression in its entirety. This is the first book to treat these disparate matters in detail, and to trace and interpret the business contraction of the 1890s in the context of national economic, political, and social development. Steeples and Whitten first explain the origins of the depression, measure its course, and interpret the business recovery, giving full coverage to structural changes in the economy; namely, the growing importance of manufacturing, emergence of new industries, consolidation of business, and increasing importance of finance capitalism. The remainder of the book examines the depression's impact on society—discussing, for example, unemployment, birth rate, health, and education—and on American culture, politics and international relations. Placing the business collapse at the center of the scene, the book shows how the depression was a catalyst for ushering in a more modern America.

The Stockton Saga 6

Mean to the Bone

By: Steven Douglas Glover

Land west of the Mississippi in the late 1870’s is tagged “Wild West” by eastern civilization. Law abiding travelers are accustomed to malicious road agents, thieves, and other scoundrels who make a living taking from hapless folks who can’t defend themselves. Johanna Stockton rides the stagecoach from Bismarck, in the Dakota Territory toward the Colorado Territory when, without warning, the coach is attacked by a gang of outlaws. The driver and all passengers are robbed at gunpoint, then murdered. That is, except for Johanna who is held hostage as the band sets out for Mexico. Cole and Clay Stockton get wind of the situation. With one thought in their minds——“they have our mother.” The lawmen set out in pursuit. A cavalry unit from Fort Lyon, Colorado Territory is on patrol when a few in the group kill their officer and other men before they desert and ride toward Montana and the gold strikes. They wreak havoc on innocent settlers as they pillage their way North. A troop of Cavalry along with U.S. Marshal Cole Stockton are on their trail. Doctor Carlin Simmons is kidnapped at gunpoint from his office by two hard men. He is taken deep into the Colorado Territory wilds to save several gunshot bank robbers from dying. The abductors threaten the doc with “them’s kinfolk. They die, you die.” The doctor closes his eyes in prayer that the ever-vigilant Cole Stockton reads the subtle signs in his office and links them to the robbery. Smokey Joe Walker, a friend of U.S. Marshal Cole Stockton is arrested and held in the Denver City Jail for breaking into the Wells Fargo and Company during the night. He is caught rummaging through files, but manages to telegraph Cole Stockton for help. When trail hardened outlaws escape local posses, a certain brand of lawman is summoned. These men know the territory that they ride and can read the trail signs. There is no place to hide from justice when the United States Marshal is on their trail.
