First published in 1993. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor and
Francis, an informa company.
"Nietzsche's Case" combines the multiple perspectives of Bernd
Magnus, a philosopher and Nietzsche scholar, Jean-Pierre Mileur, a
critical theorist/Romanticist, and Stanley Stewart, a Renaissance
literary scholar. Conceptually, it occupies the interface of
philosophy and literature. Nietzsche's texts are brought into
dialogue with the New Testament and texts by Sidney, Bacon,
Spenser, Milton, Shakespeare, Browning, Coleridge, Wordsworth,
Blake, Carlyle and Lawrence, as well as with the standard texts of
the philosophical and critical traditions from Plato to Derrida.
Nietzsche claimed that every great event constitutes "the personal
confession of its author and a kind of involuntary and unconscious
memoir". Magnus, Mileur and Stewart reveal the greatness of
Nietzsche's philosophical achievement and at the same time unravel
the unconscious and involuntary memoir it constitutes. "Nietzsche's
Case" points beyond the philosopher's brief to the objects the
brief interrogates - traditional religion, philosophy, and
morality. It also examines the case Nietzsche himself is,
interrogating the proper name "Nietzsche".
This is a stellar, courageous work of investigative journalism and
historical scholarship grippingly told, meticulously documented,
and doggedly pursued over thirty years. Tracking a Cold War
confrontation that has compromised the national interests of both
Mexico and the United States, Eclipse of the Assassins exposes
deadly connections among historical events usually remembered as
isolated episodes. Authors Russell and Sylvia Bartley shed new
light on the U.S.-instigated dirty wars that ravaged all of Latin
America in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s and reveal for the first time
how Mexican officials colluded with Washington in its proxy contra
war against the Sandinista government of Nicaragua. They draw
together the strands of a clandestine web linking: the
assassination of prominent Mexican journalist Manuel Buendia the
torture and murder of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent
Enrique Camarena the Iran-Contra scandal a major DEA sting against
key CIA-linked Bolivian, Panamanian, and Mexican drug traffickers
CIA-orchestrated suppression of investigative journalists criminal
collusion of successive U.S. and Mexican administrations that has
resulted in the unprecedented power of drug kingpins like El Chapo
Guzman. Eclipse of the Assassins places a major political crime the
murder of Buendia in its full historical perspective and shows how
the dirty wars of the past are still claiming victims today. Best

Literary Revisionism places Bloom, his ally Geoffrey Hartman, and
their contemporary literary situation in a borad historical and
theoretical context by exploring the provenance of the revisionist
stance in the origins of the New Testament canon, in the works of
the Sensibility Poets and the great Romantics, and in the emergence
of our own secular modernity. The results is an uncanny sense of
the wholeness of the tradition, ironically coupled with an
awareness that we are cut off from the past by the very insistence
with which we employ criticism to maintain the fiction of an
isolate modernity. This title is part of UC Press's Voices
Revived program, which commemorates University of California
Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and
give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to
1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship
accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title
was originally published in 1985.Â
