Description:
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1997. First Edition. Signed by the Author. Octavo, black cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, xxxi, 640 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: In the first authorized biography of W. B. Yeats for over fifty years, Roy Foster brings new light to one of the most complex and fascinating lives of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Working from a great archive of personal and contemporary material, he dramatically alters traditional perceptions to illuminate the poet’s family history, relationships, politics and art. From a childhood inheritance of declasse Irish Protestantism with strong nationalist sympathies, and an exceptional and talented family background, the narrative charts Yeats’s development into a great poet. It ends in his fiftieth year with the controversies and disillusionment affecting his personal and public life at the time of the First World War. A bohemian life of uncertain finances, love-affairs, avant-garde friends…

Description:
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1981. Octavo, black cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, xvi, 495 pp. Very Good+, with light foxing (age darkened spotting) to page edges; in a Very Good+ dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges. From dust jacket: This is the first major biography of the man who is arguable the most accomplished and honored poet of his era. His innovations and insights are so much a part of the poet’s conscious today that we tend to forget how great was his contribution. As part of this unique and special biography there are many letters Auden hoped would be destroyed and poems that have never before been published. Humphrey Carpenter, as he did with his works on Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, again paints a vivid portrait of a great writer, catching Auden’s immense charm and extraordinary drive to become the poetic force that he was destined to be. Through his penetrating probe of Auden’s journal, notebooks, and letters, he presents the England of the thirties, Berlin on the eve of…

Manhattan, Kansas: Sunflower University Press, (1996). Octavo, black cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, xii + 263 pp. Near-Fine, in a Near-Fine, mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: ...In 1987, Raab... discovered he...owned the “Loring plot,” the homestead of General William Wing Loring who had grown up in St. Augustine and who was buried on the grounds of the Government House downtown. The lack of information on the General inspired Raab, a transplanted Yankee, to research Loring’s life and career, a task that took over six years. Raab began separating myth from reality, reexamining Loring’s 50 year military service. In W. W. Loring -- Florida’s Forgotten General he sets straight the story of Old Blizzards.

Description:
Winchester, UK: Zero Books, (2011). First Edition. Octavo, softbound (slick orange stiff wrappers), vii, 211 pp. Fine (As New). From lower cover: Jewish identity is tied up with some of today’s most difficult and contentious issues. The purpose of this book is to open up many of these issues for discussion. It examines Jewish identity politics and Jewish contemporary ideology using both popular culture and scholarly texts. Since Israel defines itself openly as the “Jewish State,” we should ask what the notions of Judaism, Jewishness, Jewish culture and Jewish ideology stand for. Atzmon analyses secular Jewish political and cultural discourse, both Zionist and anti Zionist. He looks at Jewish political attitude towards history and time, the role of the Holocaust, anti-gentile ideologies, Jewish pressure groups, Zionist lobbying and more. The current state of world affairs raises an urgent need for a change in our attitudes toward politics, identity politics and history.
