Cult Fiction: Popular Reading and Pulp Theory
Clive Bloom Manufacturer: Palgrave Macmillan ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0312213565 |
Book Description
Here is an exploration of pulp literature and pulp mentalities: an investigation into the nature and theory of the contemporary mind in art and in life. Here too, the violent, the sensational and the erotic signify different facets of the modern experience plays out in the gaudy pages of kitsch literature. Clive Bloom offers the reader a chance to investigate the underworld of literary production and from it find a new set of co-ordinates for questions regarding publishing and reading practices in America and Britain, ideas of genre, problems related to commercial production, concerns regarding high and low culture, the canon and censorship, as well as a discussion of the rhetoric of current critical debate. Concentrating on remembered authors as well as many long regarded or forgotten, Cult Fiction provides a theory of kitsch art that radically alters our perceptions of literature and literary values while providing a panorama of an almost forgotten history: the history of pulp.Customer Reviews:

Great Pulp With Great Mistakes.......2003-10-05
Unfortunately, this potentially great book is marred by some poor formatting, inconsistencies and more importantly, some really careless spelling mistakes. In fact, the editors at Mosaic must have had narcolepsy or something because I found one or more cropping up every couple of pages. It's just embarrassing, not to mention distracting. Sure, a couple of errors I could ignore. But c'mon guys, my edition is on the third printing! You should've caught all this by now. It's like they just threw the whole book together...which is too bad given the earnestness of Hutchison's writing.
It's also too bad the book doesn't go further than it does (it only clocks in at about 276 pages with a large font) and it would've been nice if the cover section had featured some glossy colour instead of plain b&w (but I assume they're just trying to cut down on print costs.)
Other than that, I certainly enjoyed the book and it's definitely worth the read...it's just all the errors I could've lived without.

Messages from the Underground: Transnational Radio in Resistance and in Solidarity
Manufacturer: Praeger Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0275956024 |
Book Description
Examining the role of transnational radio broadcasting in the 20th century, this study compares and contrasts the goals and objectives of six broadcast networks: the BBC, Radio Free Europe, Voice of America, Radio Marti, Radio Free Asia, and Vatican Radio. The work traces the evolution--technical and programmatic--at each institution through world events such as World War II, the Cold War, the Solidarity Movement, the democratization of the Eastern bloc, and Tiananmen Square. Utilizing a series of case studies provided by selected authorities, the study demonstrates the effect of radio upon differing societies. Also, it explores options for alternative programming for each network, emphasizing their relationships to the evolving international political and media community in the late 20th century. The work will be of interest to scholars and students of mass media and international relations.

Basrah, Baghdad, and Beyond: U.S. Marine Corps in the Second Iraq War
USMCR Col. Nicholas E. Reynolds Manufacturer: US Naval Institute Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 1591147174 |
Book Description
This is the story of the Marine Corps in the major combat phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). It tells how the I Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) planned and prepared for war in 2002 and deployed to theater in early 2003, and then how it crossed the line of departure and fought its way to Baghdadand beyond. Written by Marine Corps historian Col. Nicholas Reynolds, this first overview of the history of OIF is solidly grounded in oral history interviews and buttressed by official reports and firsthand journals. It describes not only the execution of the original plan but some of the unusual additions carried out by the Marines, including a small mission sent to Kurdistan to work with local fighters and a task force sent to seize Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit. The book draws to a close with the commanders analyzing the lessons learned in this "transformational" war as the last Marine left the theater in the fall of 2003.While not intended as finished history, this authoritative analysis of what happened will prove useful to students of Marine Corps history and operations and easily accessible to the general reader who wants to understand what the Marines did in a historical context. It is certain to stimulate further research and healthy debate. Comprehensive notes are included for the reader who wants to learn more about a particular part of the war.

The World of the Country House in Seventeenth-Century England
J. T. Cliffe Manufacturer: Yale University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0300076436 |
Book Description
This engaging book takes us back to the domestic world of the landed gentry in seventeenth-century England. J. T. Cliffe explores the interior and exterior of country houses and discusses their social and economic role. He provides colorful details about the lives of squires and their families, the duties of servants and others who lived in the houses, and the scandals that embroiled some households.Customer Reviews:
A flawed but essential survey.......1999-10-13
He deals with the first such in his introduction. Here he explains his aim, "a study of the country houses of the gentry, their inhabitants, including servants and other employees, and the activities which went on around such houses" (vii). This is a laudable endeavour, after all, as he points out, the nobility have had their fair share of historical attention already. The question is, who are the gentry? We all know who and what the nobility are and there is a legal status conferred upon the nobility (such that the duelist Lord Mohan could expect to be judged by his peers rather than a court of law). There is no similar legal definition for the gentry, as one contemporary lawyer, John Seldon once observed, "What a gentleman is, `tis hard with us to define" (vii).
Cliffe's definition is "families owning landed property which were headed by baronets or knights or men described as `esquire' or `gentleman' in such official documents as heraldic visitation records, subsidy rolls and hearth tax returns." (vii) This is a workable, if broad definition but it is a conclusion that Cliffe reaches after only one paragraph. In later chapters he hints at arguments and court cases concerning the definition of gentlemen and it seems to me there might have been material enough for a whole chapter on the subject.
This task is not made any easier by Cliffe's decision to "limit" his study to the seventeenth century. Historians always wrestle with ways of defining period of time and this book highlights the problems that often lead them to focus on the reign of one monarch. Even if a King or Queen rules over a period of incredible social change (like good king Harry) one can rest assured that life at the end of their reign is going to bare a least some resemblances to life when they came to the throne. Perhaps some centuries are similarly blessed with social stability, but surely the least stable must have been the seventeenth? In my uneducated (but intuitive) opinion I'm willing to bet that there was less social change between William III's reign and George IV's than the huge upheaval between James I's and William's. A book that makes a narrative of the upheaval, telling the story of how the world of the country house changed over this period would be an interesting read in it's own right, but Cliffe's book is not it. In fact I'm surprised that Cliffe has not dedicated a chapter to it at least. What we have instead is a book that does not even drawn from its sources in chronological order. The scholar must work through every chapter sifting out the items relevant to their period and being careful not to to use sources from twenty or eighty years before their period to make inaccurate generalisations. That said there are plenty of nuggets of considerable interest.
