The book itself apart from a trace of foxing to the top of the text block shows no damage. ". "This work attempts to distinguish in general terms the ironical from the non-ironical. It summarises the history of the concept of irony from the first appearance of the word " EIRONEIA" in Plato to the present day. It isolates and discusses five "basic features" of irony: the element of "confluent unawareness" the contrast of reality and appearance the comic element the element of detachment and the aesthetic element. It distinguishes carefully the two main types of irony: verbal or behavioural irony and situational irony." -- Front fold over blurb. Size: 12mo Small Hardcover.

"A worthy companion to The Oxford Book of English Verse this anthology covers in 571 selections the whole range of American poetry from colonial times; more than half of it is devoted to the best work of the period from 1900 to 1950. Fifty-one poets represented - deliberately fewer than in most anthologies so that sufficient space can be devoted to each poet to afford a real understanding of his or her work. More recent and less well-known poets are represented wherever possible by works of some length rather than by a scattering of short poems. Brief biographical notes at the end enable the reader to know in what volume of the poet's work each poem originally appeared.": 5 x 7.25 in.: 1132 pages . Oxford University Press hardcover‎

Dustjacket now protected by a new Brodart Mylar Cover. Top edge of dustjacket has small stain on inside. Scarce Out Of Print Book. "In this book Greenawalt explores the three-way relationship between the idea of freedom of speech the law of crimes and the many uses of language. He begins by considering free speech as a political principle and after a thorough and incisive analysis of the justifications commonly advanced for freedom of speech looks at the kinds of communications to which the principle of free speech applies. He then turns to an examination of communications for which criminal liability is fixed. Focusing on threats and solicitations to crime Greenawalt attempts to determine whether liability for such communications seriously conflicts with freedom of speech. In the second half of the book he goes on to develop the significance of his conclusions for American constitutional law addressing such questions as what should be considered "speech" within the meaning of the First Amendment and what tests the courts should employ in deciding whether particular criminal statutes should be held constitutional. He concludes that the issues are too complex to yield simple solutions and insists that the protection of the First Amendment can be reduced neither to one justification nor to one all-purpose test of coverage.

With chapters on Americanisms cyberspace advertising fighting words fitness geography economics sex crime gender generation gaps and many other subjects Speaking Freely covers the whole spectrum of language in America from the Pilgrims to the present. In the chapter on American's love affair with booze for instance we have a rollicking history of all the delectable words we've devised to describe the condition of drunkenness and its insalubrious effects. If for example you were to find yourself frequently groggified half-shaved full as a fiddler's fart balmy owly-eyed pifflicated comboozelated tanglefooted ossified petrified snockered or wazzocked you would often suffer the jim-jams the jitters the heebie-jeebies or the screaming meamies the next day and would eventually come to be seen as an elbow-bender a guzzler a rumhead swiller or tosspot. Speaking Freely also explains the droves of new expressions entering our vocabularies. With over 400 illustrations and a generous offering of quotations from Thomas Jefferson and Mark Twain to Susan B. Anthony Elizabeth Hardwick and many others Speaking Freely takes the lid off the American language and shows us where it is where it's been and why it's ours. ": 8.75 x 11.25 in.: 472 pages .
