The only one-volume edition containing all 1,775 of Emily Dickinson's poems Only eleven of Emily Dickinson's poems were published prior to her death in 1886; the startling originality of her work doomed it to obscurity in her lifetime. Early posthumously published collections -- some of them featuring liberally "edited" versions of the poems -- did not fully and accurately represent Dickinson's bold experiments in prosody, her tragic vision, and the range of her intellectual and emotional explorations. Not until the 1955 publication of The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson, a three-volume critical edition compiled by Thomas H. Johnson, were readers able for the first time to assess, understand, and appreciate the whole of Dickinson's extraordinary poetic genius. This book, a distillation of the three-volume Complete Poems, brings together the original texts of all 1,775 poems that Emily Dickinson wrote. "With its chronological arrangement of the poems this volume becomes more than just a collection; it is at the same time a poetic biography of the thoughts and feelings of a woman whose beauty was deep and lasting." -San Francisco Chronicle

1927. Pictures by Grim Natwick. A posthumous publication of the
writings of humorist, Will Rogers. From the foreword: In a little
over a score of years he had risen from obscurity to become not
only America's foremost comedian, but an Ambassador to the World
and the best beloved character of these United States. He had been
a cowboy, a performer in a circus, an actor on both the stage and
the screen, a lecturer, a writer, a world traveler. For all his
varied experience, he retained a natural simplicity of outlook
which enabled him to express in terse, commonsense, witty phrases
the thoughts and feelings of the common man. He concealed under a
quizzical rustic manner that was infinitely winning the breadth of
wisdom and the real comprehension of world events that were his. He
was always himself; no King, nor President, nor other exalted
personage could overawe him or claim exemption from his humorous
and pointed quips. His targets became his friends. Never was he
more engaging, or funnier, than in this classic tale of a hospital
experience, which is presented here in this volume. See other
titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.

During the 1930s the U.S. Supreme Court abandoned its longtime
function as an arbiter of economic regulation and assumed its
modern role as a guardian of personal liberties. William G. Ross
analyzes this turbulent period of constitutional transition and the
leadership of one of its central participants in ""The Chief
Justiceship of Charles Evans Hughes, 1930-1941"". Tapping into a
broad array of primary and secondary sources, Ross explores the
complex interaction between the court and the political, economic,
and cultural forces that transformed the nation during the Great
Depression. Written with an appreciation for both the legal and
historical contexts, this comprehensive volume explores how the
Hughes Court removed constitutional impediments to the development
of the administrative state by relaxing restrictions previously
invoked to nullify federal and state economic regulatory
legislation. Ross maps the expansion of safeguards for freedoms of
speech, press, and religion and the extension of rights of criminal
defendants and racial minorities. Ross holds that the Hughes
Court's germinal decisions championing the rights of African
Americans helped to lay the legal foundations for the civil rights
movement. Throughout his study Ross emphasizes how Chief Justice
Hughes' brilliant administrative abilities and political acumen
helped to preserve the Court's power and prestige during a period
when the body's rulings were viewed as intensely controversial.
Ross concludes that on balance the Hughes Court's decisions were
more evolutionary than revolutionary but that the court also
reflected the influence of the social changes of the era,
especially after the appointment of justices who espoused the New
Deal values of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
In The Supreme Court under Earl Warren, 1953-1969; Michal R.
Belknap recounts the eventful history of the Warren Court. Chief
Justice Earl Warren's sixteen years on the bench were among the
most dramatic, productive, and controversial in the history of the
Supreme Court. Warren's tenure saw the Court render decisions that
are still hotly debated today. Its rulings addressed such issues as
school desegregation, separation of church and state, and freedom
of expression. In 1954 Warren and his colleagues struck down school
segregation as unconstitutional. They then participated in a broad
campaign to win equal rights for African Americans. While it
cautiously dismantled McCarthy-era infringements on civil
liberties, the Warren Court boldly expanded freedom of expression
in other areas. Frankly using constitutional law as a tool to
promote political and social reform, the Warren Court
revolutionized criminal procedure and mandated an end to the
malapportionment of state legislatures and other representative
institutions. It both invented and constitutionally guaranteed
individuals' rights to privacy with respect to sexual matters. Its
rulings did much to advance the agenda of the liberal reformers who
dominated American politics during the 1960s. But these rulings
also angered many Americans, who accused the Warren Court of
running God out of the public schools, handcuffing the police, and
flooding the country with smut. Although it staggered to an end in
1969 amid controversy and scandal, the Warren Court revolutionized
constitutional law. In the entire history of the Supreme Court,
only John Marshall's tenure can compare with Warren's in respect to
the significance of its decisions and its impact on the development
of American constitutional law. No other Court has had greater
impact on American culture and mores than that of Earl Warren.
Drawing on internal memoranda as well as published opinions of the
justices, Belknap reveals the philosophical debates and personality
conflicts behind the Court's decisions. He also assesses the
overall accomplishments and failures of the Warren Court and places
them in both their political and social contexts.
