Each Vermont country store carries its own particular stock of
special wares and memorable characters. From the Connecticut River
to Lake Champlain, country stores and their dedicated owners offer
warmth against the blizzard, advice and a friendly ear or a stern
word. Neighbors meet and communities are forged beside these feed
barrels and bottomless coffee urns. Author Dennis Bathory-Kitsz
returns once again to the Green Mountain State with this updated
and revised history and guide to its beloved country stores. When
Hurricane Irene threatened many of these local institutions and
communities in 2011, Vermonters came together, often at their
country stores. Explore the very heart of communities big and
small, where locals have been keeping their house keys behind the
counter and solving the world's problems on the front stoop for
more than two hundred years.
Literary works, through their very personal means of
characterization, reveal the direct effect of politics on
individuals in a way a political treatise cannot. The distinguished
contributors to this volume share the belief that Shakespeare is
the author who most effectively sets forth the multifarious pageant
of politics. Shakespeare's rich canon presents monarchy and
republic, tyrant and king, thinker and soldier, and Christian and
pagan. The twelve essays in Shakespeare's Political Pageant discuss
a broad range of Shakespeare's dramatic poetry from the perspective
of the political theorist. This innovative book demonstrates the
immense value of seeing Shakespeare's plays in the context of
political philosophy. It will be an important source for students
and scholars of both political science and literature.
