Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Eight new essays on topics from Shakespeare and Dryden to Donne,
Bronzino, Sidney, Hutchinson, and Milton. Renaissance Papers
collects the best scholarly essays submitted each year to the
Southeastern Renaissance Conference. In the 2005 volume, two essays
focus on Shakespeare: one on "choric juxtaposition" in his twinned
characters and one on the rhetoric of The Tempest; another essay on
drama considers Dryden's critical response to Epicoene. There are
two essays on John Donne, one on the choir space in his conduct of
worship in St. Paul'sand the other on the revisions to his Elegies.
Other essays consider the influence of Castiglione on the paintings
of Bronzino, the metaphor of the horse and horsemanship in Sidney's
poetics, and the role of conversation inHutchinson and Milton.

A changeling is a fickle person, a waverer, a person posing as
another person, or an idiot. The Changeling portrays them all. The
play interchanges not only characters, but authors, too. Written in
1622, it is one of the most successful collaborations in the
history of the theater. Two plots, each the work of one playwright,
interweave and collide. Words, lines, episodes, and scenes mix
double meanings. Rowley's tragic plot combines hypocricy and love.
Middleton's comic plot mixes madness and educated fools. Deceits
tie things together, suspicions tear them apart.
* The daring exploits of the first special forces unit of WWII
*World War II tale of adventure *Available in paperback for the
first time The first special service forces of WWII were known as
the Devil's Brigade. Ferocious and stealthy combatants, they were
handpicked U.S. and Canadian soldiers trained in mountaineering,
airborne, and close-combat skills. They numbered more than 2,300
and saw action in the Aleutians, Italy, and the south of France.
Co-written by a brigade member and a WWII combat pilot, the book
explores the unit's unique characteristics, including the men's
exemplary toughness and their ability to fight in any terrain
against murderous opposition. It also profiles some of the
unforgettable characters that comprised the near-mythical force.
