State Service in Sixteenth Century Novgorod - Vincent E. Hammond - Bog - University Press of America - Booktok.dk

State Service in Sixteenth Century Novgorod - Vincent E. Hammond - Bog - University Press of America - Booktok.dk

State Service in Sixteenth Century Novgorod is about the first century of the legal development of the pomestie established by Ivan III after the conquest of Novgorod. The cadasters from the two provinces (Shelonskaia and Vodskaia) with the highest concentration of pomesties showed most remained in the original landlord''s family. The acquisition of additional land from deceased family members and the exchanges for land near other relatives without the state''s prior permission is evidence of its recognition of the family''s interest in the land. Although the turnover was higher after the 1550s, most estates no longer in the original families'' possession were abandoned or confiscated by Ivan IV''s oprichniks. Since patrimonial votchinas were confiscated too, the higher turnover is evidence of the tsar''s fear of treason rather than the pomestie''s conditionality. The continuing possession of most Vodskaia tax units held in pomestie tenure in 1582 by the original landlords'' families enfeoffed a century earlier supports this thesis. These findings negate the traditional distinction between the conditional pomestie and allodial votchina. The loyal pomeshchiks of sixteenth century Russia could expect to pass their lands to other family members as long as they served the state.

A Century Passing - Richard Krooth - Bog - University Press of America - Booktok.dk

A Century Passing - Richard Krooth - Bog - University Press of America - Booktok.dk

In A Century Passing, Richard Krooth examines one of the great entrepreneurs of the late 19th century, documenting his epic, egregious struggle to accumulate wealth and power, regardless of the toll in human misery and fiber. Andrew Carnegie had well positioned himself financially and came to exercise dominance in the 19th century steel industry. By careful planning to introduce the latest technical inventions, taking away the skills of his elite workers and impoverishing the rest, he pressured his labor force into the seminal strike at his Homestead works in 1892. The leaders of the Homestead''s craft union responded militantly, going beyond the pale of union tradition. Victorious, Carnegie not only subserviated his labor force and made them fearful of losing their jobs, he initiated a new stage of "proletarianization" in his company-ruled towns, laying the foundation for keeping labor on tap over the next 100 years.

Seeking a Country - Taura S. Napier - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Although there are numerous published studies of Irish literature, and several women''s autobiographies, none has combined these areas of study. Literary autobiographies of both women and men have gained popularity and scholarly attention over the last three decades, especially twentieth-century women''s autobiographies.This study identifies and examines the Irishwomen''s literary autobiography and traces its development through the twentieth century. The opening chapter discusses autobiographical trends prior to the present century in Ireland, and charts major movements in forming the women''s autobiography of the twentieth century. Of particular importance are the ways in which the life stories of Irish women writers both affirm and contradict intercultural theories of women''s autobiography, how these writers manifest their autobiographical "I" as a deflected entity, and the relevance of class and religious background to the autobiographical voices of women in Ireland. The core discussion of the study focuses on the self-narratives of Lady Augusta Gregory, Katharine Tynan, Mary Colum, Elizabeth Bowen, Kate O''Brien, and Eavan Boland.

The Cosmopolitan Evolution - Matthew W. Binney - Bog - University Press of America - Booktok.dk

The Cosmopolitan Evolution - Matthew W. Binney - Bog - University Press of America - Booktok.dk

Critical works such as Srinivas Aravamudan''s Tropicopolitans (1999) and Edward Said''s Orientalism (1979) study the influence of Europe upon the colonized and also how the colonized resist its over-generalizing and oppressive drive; but, these and other works have failed to examine the impact of the ''foreign'' on the European consciousness. The Cosmopolitan Evolution argues that reciprocity exists between the cultures and that this relationship has not yet been sufficiently explored. Working from the concept of cosmopolitanism and incorporating textual evidence from philosophy, drama of the English Renaissance, seventeenth-century travel narratives, and eighteenth-century literature, this book explores the interactions between the European consciousness and the foreign. Binney also chronicles the development of cosmopolitanism from a form of representative universalism, which seeks to enfold all humans under one ideal, towards complex universalism, which seeks to account for alternate and particular views.

The Russian Century - - Bog - University Press of America - Booktok.dk

The Russian Century - - Bog - University Press of America - Booktok.dk

The Russian Century is the most comprehensive and accessible collection of readings devoted to Russian culture and civilization. The fascinating first-person accounts paint a vivid picture of the Russian people through the turbulent years of the collapse of the Soviet Union. This book allows readers to see Russia through the private lives of people who come from diverse backgrounds, various educational and socio-economic experiences, and a broad geographic spectrum. Diary entries, personal sketches, memoirs, and letters tell these stories in an intimate and authentic voice of immediate experience rather than the distant, general flow of history. Translated into English for the first time, personal matters as well as the larger social and political context are revealed in a manner that provides significant insight into a powerful, distinctive, and influential culture. All too often the Russian experience has been presented as either horrific or heroic. This volume goes beyond that approach and deals with areas which have received little or no attention to existing studies of Russian history and culture—love, sexuality, courtship, marriage, family life, work, education, and religion.

Horace Bushnell on Women in Nineteenth-Century America - Michiyo Morita - Bog - University Press of America - Booktok.dk

Horace Bushnell on Women in Nineteenth-Century America - Michiyo Morita - Bog - University Press of America - Booktok.dk

Horace Bushnell on Women in Nineteenth-Century America scrutinizes Bushnell''s vision of a Christian America based on the organic unity of family, church, and nation. A Christian America was, for Bushnell, a nation that endorsed basic Christian beliefs. He believed the institutions of family, church, and nation to be the cornerstones in forming, maintaining, and expanding a Christian America. Bushnell thought his vision of a Christian America could be realized through emphasizing the importance of men''s "government" of women and women''s "subordination" to men. His complex views about women ranged from patriarchal and hierarchical to egalitarian and nurturing.

A Hstory of Mathematics Education during the Twentieth Century - Angela Lynn Evans Walmsley - Bog - University Press of America - Booktok.dk

A Hstory of Mathematics Education during the Twentieth Century - Angela Lynn Evans Walmsley - Bog - University Press of America - Booktok.dk

A History of Mathematics Education during the Twentieth Century describes the history of mathematics education in the United States with conceptual themes concerning philosophy, mathematics content, teacher education, pedagogy, and assessment. Each decade of the twentieth century is analyzed using historical documents, within the context of the aforementioned themes, to create a concise history of mathematical reform as it relates to history within the United States. Finally, conclusions are drawn as to which reform movements are similar and different throughout the century—depicting which aspects of reform can be seen again. Mathematics education tends to swing on a pendulum from "traditional education" including teacher-directed instruction with an emphasis on computation skills to "reform education," including student-directed instruction with an emphasis on problem solving. All decades are analyzed to see where they were on the pendulum and what aspects may have contributed to the current reform movements led by the Standards movement.

Transforming American Realism - Lisa Orr - Bog - University Press of America - Booktok.dk

Transforming American Realism - Lisa Orr - Bog - University Press of America - Booktok.dk

At the turn of the twentieth century, realism meant drunken laborers participating in sordid sex and violent acts. As the century progressed, however, the workers seized the pen and forcibly changed the genre. When today''s critics label realism a reactionary attempt to squelch social change, they ignore how working-class writers transformed it to fit their own interests. In doing so, they altered the course of American realism. Working-class women bent to their own purposes several variants of realism, including naturalism, proletarian realism, and magic realism. From the 1903 best-seller by two socialites who posed as ''factory girls'' and wrote about their experiences, to the depression-era authors who tried to include women in the proletariat by writing about sex, to the later writers who incorporated their cultural heritage to create precursors of magic realism, the rise of working-class fiction has helped realism remain fresh, relevant, and lucrative.
