The Death of Reconstruction: Race Labor and Politics in the Post-Civil War North 1865-1901

2001184981Cambridge MA: Harvard University Press 2001. Hardcover. VG-/VG- ex-library with labels and stamps on spine block inside front and rear covers and title page verso. Pages are otherwise very clean and clear. Binding is tight. Burgundy cloth boards with gilt spine lettering; red black and white dj mylar cover; xvi 312 pp. "Historians overwhelmingly have blamed the demise of Reconstruction on the South and on white Americans' persistent racism. Heather Cox Richardson argues instead that class along with race was critical to Reconstruction's end. Northern support for freed blacks and Reconstruction weakened as growing labor interests critiqued the economy and called for government redistribution of wealth." "Using newspapers public speeches popular tracts Congressional reports and private correspondence Richardson traces the changing Northern attitudes toward African-Americans from the Republicans' idealized image of black workers in 1861 through the 1901 publication of Booker T. Washington's Up from Slavery. She examines such issues as black suffrage disfranchisement taxation westward migration lynching and civil rights to detect the trajectory of Northern disenchantment with Reconstruction. She reveals a growing backlash from Northerners against those who believed that inequalities should be addressed through working-class action and the emergence of an American middle class that championed individual productivity and saw African-Americans as a threat to their prosperity."--Jacket.

TREVELYON MISCELLANY OF 1608: A FACSIMILE OF FOLGER SHAKESPEARE LIBRARY MS V.B.232THE

2007108908Washington DC: Folger Shakespeare Library 2007. hardcover dust jacket. 10.75 x 17 inches. hardcover dust jacket. 594 pages. 3. The Trevelyon Miscellany of 1608 is one of the Folger Shakespeare Library's greatest treasures. Aside from Shakespeare's First Folio it is the only book in the Folger collection to have an entire exhibition devoted to it in 2004. Its 594 oversized pages depict life in Shakespeare's England in all of its brilliant complexities-from the mythical to the mundane poetical to practical religious to secular. Thomas Trevelyon the compiler was a skilled scribe and pattern-maker who had access to a stunning variety of English and Continental woodcuts engravings broadsides almanacs chronicles and emblem books which he transformed from small monochrome images into large and colorful feasts for the eyes. Ostensibly created for the entertainment education and edification of his friends and family Trevelyon's miscellany is a lifetime achievement that continues to delight and mystify modern audiences with its familiar scenes of domesticity and husbandry intertwined with epic Protestant and political epitomes: accounts of the rulers of England and the Gunpowder Plot descriptions of local fairs the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge and astronomy according to Ptolemy illustrations of the nine muses and the seven deadly sins of Old Testament history and household proverbs and whimsical flowers alphabets and embroidery patterns. This massive volume full of beautiful illustrations provides an exciting and unparalleled snapshot of the passions concerns and everyday interests of a highly talented London commoner and for this reason is of significant scholarly and general interest. It is a monumental work that was intended to be both studied and enjoyed its pages turned and savored. For the first time since its arrival at the Folger in 1945 a generous gift from Lessing Rosenwald this is possible thanks to state-of-the-art conservation and high resolution digitization by Luna Imaging. The Trevelyon Miscellany of 1608 was published in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Folger Shakespeare Library. Home to the world's largest Shakespeare collection and a primary repository for research material from the early modern period 1500-1750 the Folger Shakespeare Library is an internationally recognized research library offering advanced scholarly programs in the humanities; a national leader in how Shakespeare is taught in grades K-12; and an award-winning producer of cultural and arts programs-theater music poetry exhibits lectures and family programs.
