Dryden S Main Contribution To Literary Criticism Is Represented By An Essay Of Dramatic Poesy In Which In The Form Of A Lively Dialogue His Views On Drama Are Propounded. In This Landmark Of English Criticism, Dryden Examines Five Important Issues : The Relative Merits Of Ancient And Modern Poets, The French Versus The English School Of Drama, The Elizabethan Dramatists Versus Those Of Dryden S Own Time, Conformation To The Dramatic Rules Laid Down By The Ancients And The Question Of Substituting Rhyme For Blank Verse.Considering The Fact That Dryden Had No Settled Body Of English Criticism To Bank Upon, His Theorising On The Form Of Drama Is A Distinguished Achievement And Many Of The Issues Raised By Him Can By No Means Be Treated As Finally Decided. Dryden S Special Advantages Were A Strong, Clear, Common-Sense Judgement And A Very Remarkable Faculty Of Arguing The Point . Add To This His Intimate Knowledge Of Both Ancient And Modern Playwrights, Including The French Masters, And His Personal Initial Experiments In Writing Plays.Thomas Arnold S Explanatory Notes Make This Volume All The More Valuable To The Scholars And Students Of Dryden As A Critic. William T. Arnold In His Revision Of The Third Edition, Made The Notes Fuller And More Helpful By, Among Other Things, Adding Quotations From Corneille.
This book is exactly what the subtitle indicates. It is a highly knowledgeable, realistic - yet positive - review and assessment of the United Nations. Convenient for use in courses on international organization. The reviewer would particularly recommend it to individuals connected officially or otherwise professionally concerned with the United Nations'. American Journal of International Law In the first edition of this book the late Evan Luard questioned whether or not the UN had failed and suggested ways in which the institution could be improved. Into this context he placed analyses of the operation of the Security Council, the General Assembly, economic and social bodies, the World Court and the International Law Commission, the Secretariat and the budget. In preparing this new edition Derek Heater has up-dated the core material and written a new concluding chapter showing how, since the mid- 1980s, the UN has perhaps been acquiring a new lease of life.

With gentle humor, the Reverend Meade broaches topics throughout Scripture with an evangelist’s heart, a scholar’s insight, and a grandfather’s tender touch. His heart ached to see souls saved and lives mended. But, even further, his passion was to see Christians fulfilling their place in God’s plan. Lawrence A. Meade was our "Papa." His life spanned the changes of both world wars and Vietnam, yet he shook the hands of Civil War veterans. In the days when the Rev. Meade preached, people were worried about impending war, financial problems, cultural changes, and the uncertain future. The same things concern people today. Yet because he stood fast on the timeless truths of Scripture, his words are as much for today as they were for yesterday, and they will be as much for tomorrow as they are for today. Gleaned from a lifetime of Christian service, these daily devotions will challenge and encourage, uplift and promote real growth. Each day’s devotion is conveniently laid out in a two page format with a key verse, an expanded suggested reading, a meditation, and a prayer. The meditations provide profound insight deep enough for long-time Christians, plain enough for new believers and challenging for everyone. Classic Christianity is suitable not only for personal or family devotions, but also for teachers, bible study leaders, and pastors. An exceptional resource, Classic Christianity provides a foundation for spiritual growth for all who are searching to walk closely with the Lord.
