Speaking Freely A Guided Tour Of American English From Plymouth Rock To Silicon Valley
New York New York: Oxford University Press. Fine in Fine Dust Jacket. 1997. First Printing. Hard Cover. 019510692X . 004676: Dustjacket now protected by a new Brodart Mylar Cover. Scarce Out Of Print Book. Here we discover not only the origin and history of many of our most delightful words but also the changing cultural conditions that produced them. 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 .

Nagy Gregory
THE BEST OF THE ACHAEANS Concepts of the Hero in Archaic Greek Poetry
The Johns Hopkins University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1979. Hardcover. 0801822009 . Foxing to textblock. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. Includes 3 page typed review of book inscribed to G. P. Goold from "John" tipped in. ; Despite widespread interest in the Greek hero as a cult figure little was written about the relationship between the cult practices and the portrayals of the hero in poetry. The first edition of The Best of the Achaeans bridged that gap raising new questions about what could be known or conjectured about Greek heroes. In this revised edition which features a new preface by the author Gregory Nagy reconsiders his conclusions in the light of the subsequent debate and resumes his discussion of the special status of heroes in ancient Greek life and poetry. His book remains an engaging introduction both to the concept of the hero in Hellenic civilization and to the poetic forms through which the hero is defined: the Iliad and Odyssey in particular and archaic Greek poetry in general. ; 414 pages .

Lord Albert Bates
EPIC SINGERS AND ORAL TRADITION
Cornell University Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1991. Hardcover. 0801424720 . Light Foxing/dustsoiling to textblock. Light foxing to endpapers. Scholar's bookplate to inner cover G. P. Goold. ; Albert Bates Lord here offers an unparalleled overview of the nature of oral-traditional epic songs and the practices of the singers who composed them. Shaped by the conviction that theory should be based on what singers actually do and have done in times past the essays collected here span half a century of Lord's research on the oral tradition from Homer to the twentieth century. Drawing on his extensive fieldwork in living oral traditions and on the theoretical writings of Milman Parry Lord concentrates on the singers and their art as manifested in texts of performance. In thirteen essays some previously unpublished and all of them revised for book publication he explores questions of composition transmittal and interpretation and raises important comparative issues.
