"Those who Labor for My Happiness"

Slavery at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello

By: Lucia C. Stanton

Our perception of life at Monticello has changed dramatically over the past quarter century. The image of an estate presided over by a benevolent Thomas Jefferson has given way to a more complex view of Monticello as a working plantation, the success of which was made possible by the work of slaves. At the center of this transition has been the work of Lucia "Cinder" Stanton, recognized as the leading interpreter of Jefferson's life as a planter and master and of the lives of his slaves and their descendants. This volume represents the first attempt to pull together Stanton's most important writings on slavery at Monticello and beyond. Stanton's pioneering work deepened our understanding of Jefferson without demonizing him. But perhaps even more important is the light her writings have shed on the lives of the slaves at Monticello. Her detailed reconstruction for modern readers of slaves' lives vividly reveals their active roles in the creation of Monticello and a dynamic community previously unimagined. The essays collected here address a rich variety of topics, from family histories (including the Hemingses) to the temporary slave community at Jefferson's White House to stories of former slaves' lives after Monticello. Each piece is characterized by Stanton's deep knowledge of her subject and by her determination to do justice to both Jefferson and his slaves. Published in association with the Thomas Jefferson Foundation.

Our Perfect Moment

By: Perry Stanton

Susan and Thomas have long admired each other from a distance, and when they finally meet at the beginning of the 1978 school year, the sparks of intense mutual attraction quickly ignite a passionate romance. While they enjoy their senior year at Brainerd High, planning for homecoming and weighing their college options, Kent, a violent and disturbed bully from Susan’s secret past, stalks them, bent on revenge for what he sees as his destroyed life. When an unexpected pregnancy threatens to derail their plans and the expectations of their families, Susan and Thomas face their difficult choice together in the face of ultimatums from family and their own ideals, while recognizing the harsh reality of recession, massive layoffs, and high unemployment in their dying small town. Harsher still are Kent’s increasingly violent and irrational attacks against them as an inner voice leads him on a path of destruction. Inspired by his uncle’s entrepreneurial success and determined to be together, Susan follows Thomas’s lead as he plans their future. Together they embark on a daring venture, realizing they have to create their own perfect moment.

Darke Hierogliphicks

Darke Hierogliphicks

Alchemy in English Literature from Chaucer to the Restoration

By: Stanton J. Linden

The literary influence of alchemy and hermeticism in the work of most medieval and early modern authors has been overlooked. Stanton Linden now provides the first comprehensive examination of this influence on English literature from the late Middle Ages through the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Drawing extensively on alchemical allusions as well as on the practical and theoretical background of the art and its pictorial tradition, Linden demonstrates the pervasiveness of interest in alchemy during this three-hundred-year period. Most writers—including Langland, Gower, Barclay, Eramus, Sidney, Greene, Lyly, and Shakespeare—were familiar with alchemy, and references to it appear in a wide range of genres. Yet the purposes it served in literature from Chaucer through Jonson were narrowly satirical. In literature of the seventeenth century, especially in the poetry of Donne, Herbert, Vaughan, and Milton, the functions of alchemy changed. Focusing on Bacon, Donne, Herbert, Vaughan, and Milton—in addition to Jonson and Butler—Linden demonstrates the emergence of new attitudes and innovative themes, motifs, images, and ideas. The use of alchemy to suggest spiritual growth and change, purification, regeneration, and millenarian ideas reflected important new emphases in alchemical, medical, and occultist writing. This new tradition did not continue, however, and Butler's return to satire was contextualized in the antagonism of the Royal Society and religious Latitudinarians to philosophical enthusiasm and the occult. Butler, like Shadwell and Swift, expanded the range of satirical victims to include experimental scientists as well as occult charlatans. The literary uses of alchemy thus reveal the changing intellectual milieus of three centuries.

Meeting the Challenge of 9/11: Blueprints for More Effective Government

Blueprints for More Effective Government

By: Thomas H. Stanton

9/11 revealed serious public sector shortcomings in such areas as border security and immigration control, cybersecurity, and first responses to hostile acts. This book focuses on how to make government more effective, especially in our post-9/11 era of heightened concern for national and homeland security. "Meeting the Challenge of 9/11" is a top-to-bottom guidebook for improving government organization and performance. While it specifically addresses the key issues of homeland security (biodefense, border security, immigration control, and infrastructure protection), it has a broader agenda - the renewal of an effective, well-managed government. The chapter authors have extensive senior-level experience in managing government organizations or in analyzing government organization and management. Most are Fellows of the National Academy of Public Administration and active participants in NAPA's Standing Panel on Executive Organization and Management.

Grammar for Those Who Missed It in High School

By: Robert Stanton,Frederic Weekes

This book came about because the authors had noticed avoidable errors being made by educated citizens as they spoke over the radio and on the television, and wrote in newspapers and magazines. There is no portion of this book that did not find its origins in errors made by correspondents addressing the public in their own fashion. This book may persuade readers to give up on bloopers such as I got it for free, Between him and I, and I visited my relatives in the Sierras. There are sections on verbs, nouns, and how to handle the passage of time. There is advice on how to write with power. For guidance, there are examples of good writing taken from the works of excellent authors. You no doubt have been subjected to books on grammar throughout your education. Our hope is that none has been entertaining and helpful as this book.

Frackville

By: Lorraine Stanton

Frackville, Pennsylvania, located in Schuylkill County, was chartered in 1876. A group of residents from Frackville and Mountain City had each petitioned to become a borough. The Grand Jury decided that the two areas should consolidate and become the borough of Frackville. After several requests for a second volume of historic Frackville images, local historian Lorraine Stanton has continued the story of this residential town. It chronicles once-thriving businesses, community celebrations, and leaders and members of church groups and clubs. Along with borough officers, mayors, postmasters, and Civil War Veterans, unknown historical facts are also featured within these pages.
