This exciting and practical book for compiler construction combines
history and development of several early programming languages
together with sufficient theory to develop a compiler for an
extensive language. The book reflects the author's views that
compiler construction can best be learned by the actual
implementation of a compiler. A source language, equivalent to
early translating languages, is developed. An object language
consisting entirely of numbers is also developed. The student will
learn to write programs in the developed source and object
language. Using the language C++, the author gently leads the
student through the steps which are necessary to complete a working
compiler in a one-semester effort. Extensive exercises at the end
of each chapter keep the student's focus on the big project - the
implementation of a working compiler.
Late in his life T. S. Eliot, when asked if his poetry belonged
in the tradition of American literature, replied: "I'd say that my
poetry has obviously more in common with my distinguished
contemporaries in America than with anything written in my
generation in England. That I'm sure of. . . . In its sources, in
its emotional springs, it comes from America." In T. S. Eliot: The
Making of an American Poet, James Miller offers the first sustained
account of Eliot's early years, showing that the emotional springs
of his poetry did indeed come from America.
Miller challenges long-held assumptions about Eliot's poetry and
his life. Eliot himself always maintained that his poems were not
based on personal experience, and thus should not be read as
personal poems. But Miller convincingly combines a reading of the
early work with careful analysis of surviving early correspondence,
accounts from Eliot's friends and acquaintances, and new
scholarship that delves into Eliot's Harvard years. Ultimately,
Miller demonstrates that Eliot's poetry is filled with reflections
of his personal experiences: his relationships with family,
friends, and wives; his sexuality; his intellectual and social
development; his influences.
Publication of T. S. Eliot: The Making of an American Poet marks
a milestone in Eliot scholarship. At last we have a balanced
portrait of the poet and the man, one that takes seriously his
American roots. In the process, we gain a fuller appreciation for
some of the best-loved poetry of the twentieth century.
This updated introduction to modern numerical analysis is a
complete revision of a classic text originally written in Fortran
but now featuring the programming language C++. It focuses on a
relatively small number of basic concepts and techniques. Many
exercises appear throughout the text, most with solutions. An
extensive tutorial explains how to solve problems with C++.
A major reinterpretation, T. S. Eliot's Personal Waste Land:
Exorcism of the Demons takes Eliot at his word in his reiterated
statements that The Waste Land was not a "criticism of the
contemporary world" but a personal "grouse against life." It is the
first critical work to investigate in depth the sources of the poem
in Eliot's life, with particular attention to Eliot's
"Calamus"-like attachment to a French youth during Eliot's graduate
year in Paris, his subsequent precipitate (and disastrous) marriage
following the death of his young French friend in World War I, and
his 1921 nervous breakdown (suffering from what he called "an
aboulie and emotional derangement which has been a lifelong
affliction") that led to the writing of The Waste Land. Yet the
main thrust of this work is not on Eliot's life, but on his poetry,
exploring ways in which the fragmentary details of his life shape
and illuminate the poems.
While some consideration is given to the early, confession-like
"Ode" (later suppressed), and to the famous "familiar compound
ghost" of the later Four Quartets, primary attention is focused on
the original drafts of The Waste Land. The poem emerges from a
meticulous and detailed reading of the manuscripts as indeed a kind
of elegy for a dead friend, with links to Tennyson's In Memoriam
and Whitman's "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd," and thus
not a piece of "social criticism" but an expression of anguish and
pain and despair working toward resignation, resolution, and
reconciliation.
It becomes clear that this interpretation is not dependent on
biographical conjecture and reconstruction, but flows inevitably
from simple close scrutiny of the intricate evolution of The Waste
Land; therefore the firm establishment of the full facts of Eliot's
early life is unnecessary to this "meaning." In following Eliot's
own frequent hints, this book offers a vital corrective to all the
previous readings (or misreadings) of The Waste Land, and has
important implications for the entire Modernist Movement.
Comprised of more than 250 selections from Henry James's stories
about writers, his critical and speculative essays, his Notebooks,
Prefaces, and letters, this collection brings together for the
first time, in a single, systematic volume, all the important
passages in James's work which have implications for or ideas about
his theory of fiction. The result is the most comprehensive,
exhaustive, and innovative volume of fictional theory ever
published; in many ways it is the consummation of James's
contribution to letters. In a masterful introductory essay, James
E. Miller Jr., presents James's theory of fiction in outline; he
also contributes brief introductions to each of the seventeen
chapters, summarizing the major points. Abundant guides direct the
reader to subjects and sources. James E. Miller Jr., a professor of
English at the University of Chicago, has written or edited fifteen
books. He has served as editor of College English (1960-66) and as
president of the National Council of Teachers of English (1969-70),
and is a member of the PMLA editorial board.
"J.D. Salinger - American Writers 51 " was first published in
1965. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make

with the Soviet Union, and 2) how to respond to the emergence of
serious economic tensions among the advanced industrialized
nations. The country chapters in this volume emphasize the key
issues that affected each bilateral relationship.
