Here is a gold mine of information on American military history, exploring battles & soldiers, ships & weapons, services & doctrines (as well as the social & cultural impact of the U.S. military at home & around the world. "The Oxford Companion to American Military History" boasts over 1,100 entries written by some 500 distinguished contributors. Readers will find Stephen E.

INVALUABLE: INDISPENSABLE: FASCINATING: INSTRUCTIVE: STIMULATING: FINE virtually AS-NEW Fifth Edition hardcover (Orig. 1985) Printing Unstated (Assumed to be First), FINE handsomely-designed mylar-protected jacket w/ sharp AS-NEW edges & corners BUT price-clipped neatly on the diagonal at lower right inside-front flyleaf, SUPERB AS-NEW Oxford-blue linen-over boards cover w/ Oxford crest stamped blue-on-blue at center of front panel & w/ titles BRIGHTLY gilt-stamped on spine, AS-NEW perfect binding w/ tightly-sewn signatures, IMMACULATE smooth-cut text-block exterior, DISTINCTIVE unblemished pearl-gray card-stock end-papers, PRISTINE interior handsomely printed on EXCELLENT unblemished archival paper * 6.25" x 9.50" x 2.50, 1.70 kg, xii+1156 (1168) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: "For students, toilers in intellectual fields, proletarians of the pen, scholars, general readers, anybody & everybody who reads or writes, it would be a daily companion of constant service, a desk book comparable in usefulness to the dictionary." This is how 'The New York Times Book Review' described an earlier edition of this classic reference work. The Fifth Edition represented the must substantial and significant revision in the book's history, including: (a) More than 9,000 total entries, alphabetically arranged in a clear two-column format; (b) Nearly 3,000 concise biographies of authors born up to 1939, ranging from Geoffrey Chaucer to Charles Dickens, from John Milton to William Golding; (c) Over 2,000 plot summaries of novels & plays & outlines of the themes of poems, from 'Tom Jones' to 'The Raj Quartet', from 'Beowulf' to 'The Waste Land'; (d) Extensive coverage of movements in literature & literary criticism, from Existentialism to the New Criticism, from Neo-Classsicism to Structuralism; (e) Information on prizes, periodicals, newspapers, & literary agents; (f) Entries on composers & artists whose work has a special relation to literature; (g) Articles on literary societies, clubs, & coffee houses; (h) Updated appendices on censorship, copyright, & the calendar; (i) Extensive system of internal cross-references. Ms. Drabble's revisions not only bring the book up to date; they both deepen & widen its appeal. Topics once regarded as non-literary--detective stories, science fiction, children's literature, comic strips, for example--are here included, as are numerous foreign-langaueg authors who have become well-known & influentail in translation. The book also perovides incisive coverage of all the important movements & critical theories, including the latest developments in Marxist criticism & Saussurean linguistics & its successors. What is more, the articles on classic works--from 'Beowulf' to 'The Canterbury Tales' to "The Fairie Queen' and so many others--now incorporate the findings of the latest scholarship. In yet another innovation, this splendid reference offers the reader a guide to further study & research by referring to the relevant biographies, memoirs critical studies, & standard scholarly editions of important works . . . * ABOUT THE EDITOR: MARGARET DRABBLE is one of the greatest English novelists of the late 20th-early 21st centuries with works including: 'The Middle Ground', 'The Realms of Gold', 'The Ice Age', "Thank You All Very Much', 'A Writer's Britain', 'The Radiant Way' (1987), 'A Natural Curiosity' (1989), 'The Witch of Exmoor' (1996), 'The Red Queen' (2004), & many others. In addition to her editorship of 'The Oxford Companion to English Literature' she is also author of an important critical biography of 'Angus Wilson'. She is married to the biographer Michael Holroyd and lives in London. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine reference work for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & to international destinations via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL.

The changes & additions are indeed substantial.

In addition to this, the author thoroughly revised the entries on some 590 previously treated authors & subjects previously treated w/ nearly all changes & additions pertain to authors, books & literary matters that came into prominence since the Fourth Edition was published in 1965. As w/ previous editions, the book is thoroughly cross-referenced & includes a chronological index. Ranging from Captain John Smith to John Updike, from Anne Bradstreet to Annie Dillard, from James Fenimore Cooper to James Baldwin, the scrupulously accurate & comprehensive Fifth Edition of "The Oxford Companion to American Literature" is a reliable reference for the student & scholar & is a delight for the casual reader. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.

Two years later, in 'The Tender Passion', Gay continued his eloquent, psycho-analytically informed exploration of the Victorian era & its middle classes. Whereas 'Education of the Senses' focused on the sexual attitudes & practices of the 19th-century bourgeoisie, 'The Tender Passion' concentrates on their notions of love. No less revisionist than he was in his first volume, Gay argues here that the Victorians were able not only to enjoy their sexuality but to know love in its most exalted sense. The realities of love for the Victorians, he shows, came much closer to their ideals than many have thought. Gay delves into a huge body of material, from philosophical treatises to medical texts, from letters & diaries to works of fiction. The book is replete w/ fascinating insights into the lives & works of individual Victorians (Dickens, Stendhal, Wagner, Oscar Wilde, Beatrice Potter & Sydney Webb, among them) & his discussions range from the "discovery" of homosexuality to the ways love was diverted or disguised in music & religion. Particularly compelling is the opening section in which Gay analyzes in depth the separate love stories of 2 young men, one English and one German, stories which, in Gay's view, "dramatize some of the careers in love open to the middle class in the decades of Victoria and beyond." A work of remarkable learning, analytical sophistication, and stylistic verve, 'The Tender Passion' is an impressive addition to a monumental historical enterprise. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Peter Gay, Sterling Professor of History Emeritus at Yale University, is the author of many acclaimed books. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for our posted below-cost additional fee of $12.00 & to all international destinations via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL at our posted rates.

Hardback. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 315 pages; 7 page index; 3 page bibliography; illustrated from photos and line drawings; From the author's preface to the first edition: "All small-boat voyagers have two things in common: a love of freedom--for they can go where they will almost unhampered by rules or restictions, except those which are a part of the seaman's lore--and a desire to pit their skill, wits, and courage against the oceans in every mood. The mainspring of this activity is, I believe, not the desire to be well thought of by others, but the desire to think well of oneself."
