In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This volume explores the period encompassing the War of 1812 and its aftermath through 1828, a transformative epoch in early U.S. history. It begins with the causes of the war Britain s naval blockades, impressment of American sailors, and frontier tensions and chronicles ke…y battles such as the defense of the Capitol, the burning of Washington, and Andrew Jackson's rise at New Orleans. The final peace, sealed by the Treaty of Ghent in December 1814, restored pre-war borders and ushered in the Era of Good Feelings, marked by a surge of nationalism, political unity after the decline of the Federalists, and economic expansion. Overall, this collection offers a rich blend of first-person accounts and historical analysis, illuminating how a brief war reshaped America s national identity, financial systems, foreign policy, and political landscape in the decades that followed.

Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. 2005. xiv, 288pp. The book is in excellent condition with no inscriptions. "Still funny after two thousand years, the Roman playwright Plautus wrote around 200 B.C.E., a period when Rome was fighting neighbors on all fronts, including North Africa and the Near East. These three play…s-originally written for a wartime audience of refugees, POWs, soldiers and veterans, exiles, immigrants, people newly enslaved in the wars, and citizens-tap into the mix of fear, loathing, and curiosity with which cultures, particularly Western and Eastern cultures, often view each other, always a productive source of comedy. These current, accessible, and accurate translations have replaced terms meaningful only to their original audience, such as references to Roman gods, with a hilarious, inspired sampling of American popular culture-from songs to movie stars to slang. Matching the original Latin line for line, this volume captures the full exuberance of Plautus's street language, bursting with puns, learned allusions, ethnic slurs, dirty jokes, and profanities, as it brings three rarely translated works-Weevil (Curculio), Iran Man (Persa), and Towelheads (Poenulus)-to a wide contemporary audience. Richlin's erudite introduction sets these plays within the context of the long history of East-West conflict and illuminates the role played by comedy and performance in imperialism and colonialism. She has also provided detailed and wide-ranging contextual introductions to the individual plays, as well as extensive notes, which, together with these superb and provocative translations, will bring Plautus alive for a new generation of readers and actors.".
