Navigating Failure

Bankruptcy and Commercial Society in Antebellum America

By: Edward J. Balleisen

The "self-made" man is a familiar figure in nineteenth-century American history. But the relentless expansion of market relations that facilitated such stories of commercial success also ensured that individual bankruptcy would become a prominent feature in the nation's economic landscape. In this ambitious foray into the shifting character of American capitalism, Edward Balleisen explores the economic roots and social meanings of bankruptcy, assessing the impact of widespread insolvency on the evolution of American law, business culture, and commercial society. Balleisen makes innovative use of the rich and previously overlooked court records generated by the 1841 Federal Bankruptcy Act, building his arguments on the commercial biographies of hundreds of failed business owners. He crafts a nuanced account of how responses to bankruptcy shaped two opposing elements of capitalist society in mid-nineteenth-century America--an entrepreneurial ethos grounded in risk taking and the ceaseless search for new markets, new products, and new ways of organizing economic activity, and an urban, middle-class sensibility increasingly averse to the dangers associated with independent proprietorship and increasingly predicated on salaried, white-collar employment.

The Making of Sir Philip Sidney

The Making of Sir Philip Sidney

By: Edward Berry

Does a poet make himself, or do his culture and his fiction make him? Sir Philip Sidney is one of the most popular and enduring of Elizabethan authors, and one of those most preoccupied with the relationship between self, society, and art. Edward Berry's The Making of Sir Philip Sidney explores how Sidney 'made' or created himself as a poet by 'making' representations of himself in the roles of some of his most literary creations: Philisides, Astrophil, and the intrusive persona of the Defence of Poetry. Focusing on the significance of these and other self-representations throughout Sidney's career, Berry combines biography, social history, and literary criticism to achieve a carefully balanced portrayal of the poet's life and work. This is a book that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of Sidney, and is likely to appeal to both students and scholars of Sidney, as well as to those wishing to understand the cultural events that shaped this central figure of the English Renaissance.

Tell Me How You Love the Picture

A Hollywood Life

By: Edward S. Feldman,Tom Barton

Edward S. Feldman's legendary career began in advertising and publicity at 20th Century-Fox in the 1950s, and from there he worked his way up to executive studio positions within Seven Arts, Filmways, and Warner Brothers. Following this, he has spent the last twenty-five years as a successful, Academy Award-nominated film producer. Ed's unique story takes readers on a more than fifty-year journey through Hollywood that few can tell--and most will never forget. With tales from the set of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? to why a well-known actor trashed Ed's office and why a major Hollywood mogul tried to turn all of Tinseltown against one of Ed's films, readers will learn what it takes to produce a film and survive the jungles of Hollywood, laughing all the way. Tell Me How You Love the Picture is a smartly written, surprising, hilarious memoir that takes us behind the scenes with wild, no-holds-barred stories about major Hollywood personalities ranging from Bette Davis to Elizabeth Taylor, Stanley Kubrick to Scott Rudin, Harrison Ford to Jim Carrey to Eddie Murphy and more. As a top studio exec and one of Hollywood's most respected producers, Feldman has seen the film business from the inside out, worked with some of the best talent in the industry, and experienced things few can imagine. An incredible Hollywood memoir from one of moviedom's renowned producers, Tell Me How You Love the Picture is full of insight and the stuff of gossip, bad behavior, and high success.
