Thought by many to be director John Ford's masterpiece, 'The
Searchers' tells the story of Ethan Edwards (John Wayne), an
ex-confederate soldier who swears revenge after his brother's
family is butchered by Comanches and his niece (Natalie Wood) is
kidnapped. Accompanied by Martin Pawley (Jeffrey Hunter), a young
foundling raised by the family, Ethan sets out on a epic seven-year
search for the missing girl. But as their quest draws to a close,
Martin begins to realise the extent to which Ethan has been
dehumanised by his own thirst for revenge.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Western literary
study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope,
Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann
Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.
