Summary:

This powerful and moving 1860 novel is believed to be George Eliots most autobiographical novel. She was certainly referencing personal experience when she wrote the character of Maggie Tulliver.

The protagonist siblings, Tom and Maggie, are brought up in Lincolnshire, at Dorlcote Mill, on the banks of the imaginary River Floss. Maggie adores and worships her brother. As a young boy, he has adopted a chivalrous, manly, moral code, but also displays a reluctance to learn, and he fails dismally to apply himself to his education. His father, anxious to see Tom formally educated (So as he might be up to the tricks o these fellows as talk fine and write with a flourish) opts to send him to board with a tutor. Tom struggles with Latin and dreads the inclusion of Greek in the syllabus.

Maggie outshines him intellectually, showing herself to be astute and intelligent, which goes against the expectations for a girl in the society of the day and of her family. Her development into adulthood is made difficult by prevailing societal attitudes toward women. Many references to those attitudes are made in the work, and there is clearly a feminist perspective to the novel. However, Maggie is desperate to win approval.

Toms life is changed drastically when his father becomes a debtor to the point of bankruptcy and a fall from his horse leaves him gravely ill. Toms pride and family loyalty push him into a life and career he wouldnt have chosen for himself, desperate to pay off his fathers debts. Eventually, through the encouragement of his inarticulate and lowly-born childhood friend, Bob Jakin, Tom makes the best of his situation. (Bob is a dedicated friend to Tom and Maggie throughout the novel).

Dominating the family are their three aunts (formerly Dodson sisters) and their husbands. These aunts and Mrs. Tulliver are regarded as one of the most wonderful comic creations of nineteenth-century fiction.

Maggie becomes a woman and ultimately involved in relationships with two men. Phillip: a close friend who is the son of her fathers enemy and persecutor. And Steven: a charming, upper-class suitor who just happens to be her cousin Lucys recognized Beau. This internal battle between her sense of decency, her familys expectations of her, and her own desires tears her apart. Tom does not approve of Maggies behavior regarding either one of these relationships and disowns Maggie. Eliot then brings this classic romantic novel to a suspenseful and beautifully written conclusion.

Title: God and the Self in Hegel: Beyond Subjectivism

Author: Paolo Diego Bubbio

Narrator: Sarah Bacaller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:43:02

Language: English

Release date: 01-24-23

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Non-Fiction, Philosophy

Summary:

God and the Self in Hegel proposes a reconstruction of Hegels conception of God and analyzes the significance of this reading for Hegels idealistic metaphysics. Paolo Diego Bubbio argues that in Hegels view, subjectivismthe tenet that there is no underlying true reality that exists independently of the activity of the cognitive agentcan be avoided, and content can be restored to religion, only to the extent that God is understood in Gods relation to human beings, and human beings are understood in their relation to God. Focusing on traditional problems in theology and the philosophy of religion, such as the ontological argument for the existence of God, the Trinity, and the death of God, Bubbio shows the relevance of Hegels view of religion and God for his broader philosophical strategy. In this account, as a response to the fundamental Kantian challenge of how to conceive the mind-world relation without setting mind over and against the world, Hegel has found a way of overcoming subjectivism in both philosophy and religion.

The audiobook form of God and the Self in Hegel includes references deemed essential to the academic integrity of the text.

Summary:

The contents of this book stem from a series of short stories originally in Cosmopolitan Magazine in the early twentieth Century.

University Professor Craig Kennedy was mulling over some of his theories: It has always seemed strange to me that no one has ever endowed a professorship in criminal science in any of our large universities.

In college we had roomed together, had shared everything, even poverty, and now that Craig was a professor of chemistry and I was on the staff of the Star newspaper, we had continued the arrangement. This pairing has often been compared to the Dr. Watson association with the renowned Sherlock Holmes. My name is Walter Jameson and I argued, Why should there be a chair in criminal science crime is just crime the good detective is born and bred to it.

On the contrary, replied Kennedy, there is a distinct place for science in the detection of crime. We have professors of everythingwhy not professors of crime? I am going to apply science to the detection of crime, the same sort of methods by which you trace out the presence of a chemical, or run an unknown germ to earth.

Summary:

A Dusty Tomes Audio BookIn Cooperation with Spoken Realms

Volume 2 of History of the United States of America: From the Discovery of the Continent by George Bancroft. A major US history series in six volumes. Authors Last Revision 1883 by D. Appleton and Company.

Bancroft as US Secretary of the Navy established the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. He was a senior American diplomat in Europe, leading diplomatic missions to Britain and Germany. His comprehensive study of the origins and development of the United States caused him to be referred to as the Father of American history.

From the Authors Preface regarding the Last Revision to the series: greater precision has been sought for; the fitter word that offered itself accepted; and, without the surrender of the right of history to pronounce its opinion, care has been taken never unduly to forestall the judgment of the reader, but to leave events as they sweep onward to speak their own condemnation or praise.

From a 2008 Review by Stephen W. Sawyer:For Bancroft, then, the historian brought the Revolution to life in the present in order that it might circulate within the country and throughout humanity. Bancroft was convinced that a poet-historian could uncover the democratic ideal that was unfolding in the American project.Dawes and Nichols argued that Bancroft was a sound historian in that he grounded his work in archival material. George Bancroft was the first American historian who conscientiously endeavored to make no important statement without reference to an original document.

The author exercises powers of narration which enable the reader to watch the drama of mans experience proceed like a splendid and inspiring pageant. (Dawes and Nichols 280) These remarks still capture an essential element of Bancrofts project. He saw his writing, literary or poetical as it may have been, as part of the realization of mans experience with democracy. This was the Bancroft that was celebrated in the first half of the nineteenth century, pushed aside in the nationalist consensus of American historical professionalism in the 1890s, and then rediscovered in the inter-war period. He was not describing a democracy that already existed in flowery prose, but employing the poets pen to give life to a democratic project which he thought was in the making.
