Renaissance Papers is a collection of the best scholarly essays on
all aspects of the Renaissance submitted each year to the
Southeastern Renaissance Conference, organized originally in the
early 1950s by scholars at Duke University and the universities of
North and South Carolina. This year's annual volume, the
forty-sixth to be published by the Conference and the fourth by
Camden House, is the most substantial ever, containing twelve
articles. Five articles on Shakespeare range from alchemy and
hermaphroditism in Sonnet 20 to Leontes and skepticism in The
Winter's Tale. There are two pieces on Milton, one involving his
feminine representation of himself as author, the other attempting
a breakthrough in interpretation of Samson Agonistes. There are
also literary studies of Mucedorus, the most popular play in the
English Renaissance, and of Spenser's two female protagonists,
Britomart and Amoret. There are also an examination of the power
struggles in an Italian convent, a new assessment of Stephen
Gardiner's role in the Counter-Reformation in England, and a study
of the early characteristics of Cromwell in the press of the
English Civil War.

For many years Middleton's "A Game at Chess" was more notorious
than read, considered rather a phenomenon of theatrical history
than a pre-eminent piece of dramatic writing. "A Game at Chess" was
a nine days' wonder, an exceptional play of King James' reign on
account of its unprecedented representation of matters of state
usually forbidden on the stage. The King's Men performed the play
uninterruptedly between 5th and 14th August, 1624 at their Globe
Theatre, attracting large audiences, before the Privy Council
closed the theatre by the King's command. More recently, growing
interest in the connections of economics and politics with
authorship have promoted readings that locate the play so firmly
within its historical context as propaganda that, again, its
worthwhile literary and theatrical qualities are neglected. In
writing "A Game at Chess", Middleton employed the devices of the
neoclassical comedy of intrigue within the matrix of the
traditional oral play. What might have seemed old-fashioned
allegory was rejuvenated by his adoption of the fashionable game of
chess as the fiction within which the play was set. The product of
Middleton's experienced craftsmanship is at once deceptively simple
and surprisingly complex. -- .

Archery conjures up many images Robin Hood, the American West, wild
safaris in Africa, and the simplicity of nature on a brisk October
morning. Howard Hill brings to life all of these images with
exciting stories about the thrill of the hunt, oneness with nature,
and the adventure of the great outdoors. Hunting the Hard Way,
considered by many to be the most sought-after archery title, is
now back in print and full of the thrilling escapades of a bow and
arrow purist.
Articles on works of Marlowe, Spenser, Shakespeare, Donne, Marston,
Webster, Jonson, Mary Wroth, and Milton; and two historical
articles on aspects of the court of King James I. Renaissance
Papers is a collection of the best scholarly essays submitted each
year for presentation at the annual meeting of the Southeastern
Renaissance Conference. Organized and sponsored in the early 1950s
by Duke University and the universities of South Carolina and North
Carolina, the annual meeting is now hosted by various colleges and
universities across the southeastern United States. It accepts
papers on all subjects relating to the Renaissance -- music, art,
history, literature, etc. -- from scholars all over North America
and Europe. Camden House has published Renaissance Papers for the
Southeastern Renaissance Conference since 1996. Renaissance
Papers1998 contains fourteen articles. Twelve are literary studies,
reflecting different critical perspectives, on the works of
Marlowe, Spenser, Shakespeare, Donne, Marston, Webster, Jonson,
Mary Wroth, and Milton. Two are historical/sociological studies of
the court of King James I; one on the implications of Pocahontas's
conversion and marriage to an Englishman and the other on the
shifting expression of royal authority from public spectacle to the
realmof learning in the medium of print.
Scholarly interest in The Book of Sir Thomas More has concentrated
on the issue of Shakespeare's contribution to its revision. The
play, which concerns the life of Sir Thomas More, was written in
1593 4, subjected to censorship by the Master of the Revels and
revised by a group of playwrights which probably included
Shakespeare. 148 lines have been claimed as Shakespeare's, and
these were the focus of a collection of essays edited by A. W.
Pollard in 1923. The range of topics in this volume is much wider
than that of the 1923 collection, taking in the problems presented
by the play as a whole, its authorship and revision, structure,
occasion and staging. The terms of controversy are realigned, and
the stature of the play re-established, making it appear more than
ever likely that Shakespeare contributed to its revision.

This collection of wild and woolly adventure stories from real life
was first published by Stackpole Books in 1954. From roping bear
and cougar in Arizona to hunting wild boar with a longbow on Santa
Catalina Island in California and alligator wrestling in the
Everglades, Howard Hill was the prototypical "extreme" guy.
Includes outstanding photography from Hill's adventures of such
animals as grizzly bear, elk, mountain sheep and moose. First
published by Stackpole Books in 1954. Foreword by Errol Flynn. New
preface by Jerry Hill, the author's nephew.
Trainers and educators ask: 'What personality types do best at
e-learning; who really likes e-learning?' Better that they should
ask: 'How can we make e-learning more appealing to more people?'
E-learning is here to stay in the same way that the Internet is
here to stay. The classroom, as a mass education tool, was an
invention of the industrial age and we have made good use of it.
E-learning is an invention of the information age but we have yet
to properly realise its potential. Some of the steam has gone out
of e-learning. Organizations have experienced problems with
technology, variable content, poor course take-up and even greater
drop-out. The problem is that what appeals to the organization, a
mass training and development medium that can be used to train
everyone at once, is at odds with - or at least ignorant of - the
learning needs of the individual. Individual Preferences in
e-Learning focuses on the process of e-learning, with the emphasis
on learning and individual differences. With a firm rooting in
previous research, in particular the author's in-depth knowledge of
the MBTIa"c functions, this book shows you how to make e-learning
work for different personality types.
In his new book, author Howard J. Hill describes building
construction features and how to recognize collapse dangers for all
types of buildings and construction methods.
The book contains a wealth of useful information, including
discussions about: - key elements that warn of imminent
fire-induced collapse - how to prevent injuries to operating
personnel - adapting risk/benefit techniques to manage firefighting
personnel on the fireground - how building codes affect
fire-induced building collapses - and much more
Failure Point is an important resource for chief officers, company
officers, firefighters, and code officials. It meets Fire and
Emergency Services Higher Education (FESHE) requirements for the
Building Construction for Fire Protection course.
