Ananda Abeysekara contends that democracy, along with its cherished secular norms, is founded on the idea of a promise deferred to the future.

The 73-year-old author has done it all - survived war, bombs, mother's assassination, abandonment, changes of languages and cultures. Maturing from a curiously privileged child to an impoverished young adult, he progressed from Bohemianism to Zen to Anabaptist cult to avant-garde electronic composer to hippy shaman on two rural open-door communes bulldozed by county authorities. Finally, he emerged from this metaphorical, emotional tsunami to ...

This satire pokes fun at the Romantic Movement in English literature. The characters in the novel are based on historic figures. Peacock sees ...

When we take into c...

Under Queen Anne he was an original poet, but made little money by his verses, under George I. he was chiefly a translator, and made much money by satisfying the Frenchclassical taste with versions of the "Iliad" and "Odyssey." Under George I. he also edited Shakespeare, but with little profit to himself, for Shakespeare was but a ...
