This book demonstrates that during the early twentieth century, the Monroe Doctrine served the role of a national security framework that justified new directions in United States foreign relations when the nation emerged as one of the world's leading imperial powers. As the United States' overseas empire expanded in the wake of the Spanish-American War, the nation's decision-makers engaged in a protracted debate over the meaning and application of the doctrine, aligning it to two antithetical core values simultaneously: regional hegemony in the Western Hemisphere on the one hand, and Pan-Americanism on the other. The doctrine's fractured meaning reflected the divisions that existed among domestic perceptions of the nation's new role on the world stage and directed the nation's approach to key historical events such as the acquisition of the Philippines, the Mexican Revolution, the construction of the Panama Canal, the First World War, and the debate over the League of Nations.

The steady growth of May Sarton's following and critical importance has revealed a creative writer of remarkable scope—equally at home in three literary forms: fiction, autobiography, and poetry.

It is her poetry, however, where she achieves the full extent of her revelation as artist and human. The poems in this first selection from her whole work were written over a period of forty years. They convey a wonderfully energetic alteration of mood, idea, and experience that are part of her unique creative process.

As the editors say, the arrangement of this selection is not chronological; rather it is arranged so as to clarify and preserve Sarton's rhythms of voice of voice, vision and inner passions. here are occasional poems exploring the private moments of erotic love as well as a public event such as the Kent State killings, and the voice expressing these occasions ranges from the pastoral to the polemical. The tone ranges from the lyrical to the dissonant, the form from closed couplet to strong, clean free verse.

One pervading theme is the poet's exploration of the creative process itself, its sources both within and without, its strong unforgiving demands and the fears and joys it can bring.

In all, it is a superb selection, a fascinating guide to the thought, emotions, and intuitions of May Sarton. It will be of enormous help to the student and a revelation to those who know Sarton only through her novels and her journals.

CUA Press is proud to announce the CUA Studies in Canon Law. In conjunction with the School of Canon Law of the Catholic University of America, we are making available, both digitally and in print, more than 400 canon law dissertations from the 1920s to 1960s, many of which have long been unavailable. These volumes are rich in historical content, yet remain relevant to canon lawyers today. Topics covered include such issues as abortion, excommunication, and infertility. Several studies are devoted to marriage and the annulment process; the acquiring and disposal of church property, including the union of parishes; the role and function of priests, vicars general, bishops, and cardinals; and juridical procedures within the church. For those who seek to understand current ecclesial practices in light of established canon law, these books will be an invaluable resource.

This edition of "Manon Lescaut" incorporates an English introduction and footnotes. It assesses the persuasiveness of the self-justifying narrative which lies at the heart of the book, and on interpreting the motivation of the main characters whose tragic love-affair the novel charts.
