Originally published in 1998. From its contested origins in nineteenth-century California, through its popularity among the smart set of the 1930s, world leaders of the 1940s, and the men in the gray flannel suits of the 1950s, to its resurgence among today's retro-hipsters: Lowell Edmunds traces the history and cultural significance of the cocktail H. L. Mencken called the only American invention as perfect as a sonnet. --Lori D. Kranz "Well ...

While Greek tragedies are often studied as works of literature, they are less frequently examined as products of the social and political environment in which they were created. Rarely, too, are the visual and spatial aspects of these plays given careful consideration. In this detailed and innovative book, Lowell Edmunds combines two readings of the Oedipus at Colonus to arrive at a new way of looking at Greek tragedy. Edmunds sets forth a sem...

Il cocktail che Roosevelt offrì a Stalin, che Krusciov definì "l'arma più micidiale degli Stati Uniti", che costò al candidato Jimmy Carter una serie di perfide battute e corsivi ironici, che fu citato da Cole Porter in una sua celebre canzone, che ispirò designer quali McConnico e Lalique, senza contare gli scrittori (da Pearl Buck a Maugham, da Jack London a Hemingway) e il cinema, è stato a buon diritto definito da qualcuno "un elemento imp...

Segal, on psychoanalytic interpretations.

How can we explain the process by which a literary text refers to another text? For the past decade and a half, intertextuality has been a central concern of scholars and readers of Roman poetry. In "Intertextuality and the Reading of Roman Poetry, " Lowell Edmunds proceeds from such fundamental concepts as "author, " "text, " and "reader, " which he then applies to passages from Vergil, Horace, Ovid, and Catullus.
