Free Download Walter S H Lim, "Shakespeare and the Theater of Religious Conviction in Early Modern England"
English | ISBN: 3031400054 | 2023 | 301 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book analyzes Shakespeare’s use of biblical allusions and evocation of doctrinal topics in Hamlet, Measure for Measure, The Winter’s Tale, Richard II, and The Merchant of Venice. It identifies references to theological and doctrinal commonplaces such as sin, grace, confession, damnation, and the Fall in these plays, affirming that Shakespeare’s literary imagination is very much influenced by his familiarity with the Bible and also with matters of church doctrine. This theological and doctrinal subject matter also derives its significance from genres as diverse as travel narratives, sermons, political treatises, and royal proclamations. This study looks at how Shakespeare’s deployment of religious topics interacts with ideas circulating via other cultural texts and genres in society. It also analyzes how religion enables Shakespeare’s engagement with cultural debates and political developments in England: absolutism and law; radical political theory; morality and law; and conceptions of nationhood.

Free Download Peter Wallison, "Ronald Reagan: The Power of Conviction and the Success of His Presidency"
English | 2004 | pages: 336 | ISBN: 0813390478 | EPUB | 1,2 mb
An icon of the twentieth century, Ronald Reagan has earned a place among the most popular and successful U.S. presidents. In this compelling firsthand account of Reagan’s presidency, Peter J. Wallison, former White House Counsel to President Reagan, asserts that Reagan took office with a fully developed public philosophy and strategy for governing that was unique among modern presidents. "I am not a great man," Reagan once said, "just committed to great ideas." Wallison shows how Reagan’s unyielding attachment to certain key ideas – communicated through his speeches – created a cohesive administration and revived the spirit of the nation. Reagan limited his personal efforts to those issues he considered central to his presidency, choosing to delegate to his cabinet and staff those matters he viewed as secondary to his agenda. This leadership style was responsible for Reagan’s accomplishments, but also for his missteps and the criticism he received from his detractors. During his presidency, Reagan experienced both enormous success – in the unprecedented growth of the economy, the first arms reduction agreement with the former Soviet Union, and the revival of confidence in America – and near disaster in the Iran-Contra affair. In Ronald Reagan , Wallison describes what it was like to be on Reagan’s White House staff and how Reagan’s attachment to principle produced both the best and worst days of his presidency.

"Until You Are Dead" chronicles the loss of Canada’s innocence. Prior to June 11, 1959, Canadian parents could allow their children to play outdoors, unsupervised, in places children traditionally love: schoolyards, fields and nearby swimming holes. But on that hot summer day, when the body of a twelve-year-old girl turned up in a woody area near Clinton, Ontario, that innocence was shattered. The girl’s name was Lynne Harper and she had been raped and murdered. The summer was barely over before a popular schoolboy named Steven Truscott, fourteen years old at the time, was tried, convicted and sentenced to hang. Truscott spent ten years in prison after the federal cabinet commuted his death sentence. He has always maintained his innocence. His trial in 1959 was the most famous and controversial in Canadian history.
