Right Or Wrong, God Judge Me

The Writings of John Wilkes Booth

By: John Wilkes Booth

All of the known writings of John Wilkes Booth are included in this collection. Of this wealth of material, the most important item is a previously unpublished twenty-page manuscript discovered at the Players Club in Manhattan. Written by Booth in 1860 in a form similar to Mark Antony's funeral oration in Julius Caesar, it makes clear that his hatred for Lincoln was formed early and was deeply rooted in his pro-slavery and pro-Southern ideology. Also included in the nearly seventy documents are six love letters to a seventeen-year-old Boston girl, Isabel Sumner, written during the summer of 1864, when Booth was conspiring against Lincoln; several explicit statements of Booth's political convictions; and the diary he kept during his futile twelve-day flight after the assassination. The documents show that Booth, although opinionated and impulsive, was not an isolated madman. Rather, he was a highly successful actor and ladies' man who also was a Confederate agent. Along with many others, he believed that Lincoln was a tyrant whose policies threatened civil liberties. --From publisher's description.

Underclass

A History of the Excluded, 1880-2000

By: John Welshman

Who are those at the bottom of society? There has been much discussion in recent years, on both Left and Right, about the existence of an alleged 'underclass' in both Britain and the USA. It has been claimed this group lives outside the mainstream of society, is characterised by crime, suffers from long-term unemployment and single parenthood, and is alienated from its core values. In Underclass: A History of the Excluded, 1880-2000 John Welshman shows that there have always been concerns about an 'underclass', whether constructed as the 'social residuum' of the 1880s, the 'problem family' of the 1950s or the 'cycle of deprivation' of the 1970s. There are marked differences between these concepts, but also striking continuities. Indeed a concern with an 'underclass' has is many ways been as long as an interest in poverty itself. This book is the first to look systematically at the question, providing new insights on contemporary debates about behaviour, poverty and welfare reform. In a speech in 2006, Tony Blair signalled a major push on social exclusion. He aimed to show the Government's determination to tackle 'a hard core underclass' estimated at 1 m people. The focus in Whitehall had moved to what were termed 'high-risk, high-harm and high-cost families', and to children in care, teenage mothers, and people with mental health problems on benefit. In all of this, the rhetoric of a 'cycle of deprivation', and of inter-generational continuities, was ever-present, and it is those continuities that this book seeks to explore.

The Lincoln Assassination

By: John Butler Ford

Every schoolchild knows about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln - how the actor John Wilkes Booth shot the president while he was watching a play, leaped to the stage from the presidential box, and made his escape. But there is far more to the story, including the bizarre scheme that Booth first concocted to kidnap Lincoln and trade him for Confederate soldiers held in Northern prisons. Here is the full story of the plot, the bumbling plotters that Booth recruited, Lincoln's lingering death, the manhunt for the assassin, and the trial of the conspirators. It is essential knowledge of a tragedy that shaped America for a century to come.

Julius Caesar on Stage in England and America, 1599-1973

By: John Ripley

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Julius Caesar on Stage in England and America, 1599-1973

By: John Ripley

Professor Ripley, in this 1980 study of Julius Caesar, offers one of the most detailed stage histories ever attempted, focusing upon aspects both of English and American staging from 1599 to 1973. His primary sources include promptbooks and groundplans, letters, diaries and reviews. He approaches the play from four different angles: he examines the texts used in all major productions, and makes valuable deductions about the taste and sensibility of an age from cuts, alterations, additions and redistribution of parts. He explains in detail the staging of the play at various points in time, and demonstrates how sets and costumes, bits of business, handling of crowd scenes and lighting affected its business. He reconstructs performances of the four main roles by the greater and lesser lights of each period. Finally, he comments on the way in which the theories of critics and, in modern times, directors' ideas have influenced understanding of the play.

Woman in Black

By: John Darling

Woman in Black

By: John Darling

Woman In Black is a decidedly eclectic compilation of short stories written in a variety of genres. These stories range from juvenile fiction in the heroic tale Jennifer Rising to the highly original and complex science fiction novella Woman In Black which is the signature story for this collection. There should be something for everyone in this anthology. Following is a synopsis of the work: Love Stories I Know Why It is possible that a man's entire life can be altered by a single moment in time? Higgins knows that it is possible. With the flash of her smile forever etched in his memory, he knows, oh yes, he knows... Crash and Burn Kristie is looking for her soul mate who happens to be a man she has spoken to many times but has never met. When he accepts her invitation to an after work get-together with friends, she knows that nothing will keep them apart... Dream Lovers In one night they were wild passionate lovers for a life time, then they woke up and met in the cold light of the day. Just when does the dream end and when does reality begin? The Powers of Love Elvin loves Katelin, but she is woman and he is but a mere child. Whatever can he do to correct this (since, as you know, Sorcery was never meant to be practiced by children)? The Right Note What do an accomplished cello player and a construction worker/wannabe writer have in common? Well, nothing that can be seen on the surface; fortunately, this couple decided to keep digging. The Last Road Trip Jack is gone! All he left behind is a cryptic list of song titles and a CD with the music burned on it. Now it is up to Catherine and Sarah, two women who both loved him, to unravel the meaning of his actions. Will they be too late? Resurrection Gina is beaten, nearly raped, then saved--twice! But it is up to her to pull herself out of the pit of depression and live once again. Not only does she accomplish this in a most unusual way, she also finds her true love while discovering that she can be more than she ever dreamed of in the past. Buddha´s Dream What happens when two drinking buddies begin to speculate about the meaning of love and life? Tragedy? Revelation? Both? Heroic Stories Myron? The Hero? Not Myron, the eternal geek, who is afraid to even answer the door? In this story he tells the police what happened the one time he does respond to a knock on the door--and why he did it! Running Man Run, not for your life, but for the life of another. Run for your own peace of mind since time is of no consequence to you any longer. So run to see if you can catch time and make amends for the past! Hairy Hero So what if I am a cat? Does that mean I can't be a hero? A lot you Verticals know! Just read what happens when I begin to prowl. Jennifer Rising The danger stalks her family without fear. Only Jennifer knows this. Can she make her family understand? Will they make it out in time? One Minute Hero One minute you're a working stiff, the next you are a hero. Or are you? Maybe you are just the victim of too much TV news and too much imagination! Super Hero Just leave me alone. I don't want to be a hero or super yet I find I am both! What does as self-respecing con man do now? Adventure Novellas The Treasure of Arroyo Seco
