From her immigration to Mandatory Palestine in 1933 until her death
in 1950 American-born Dorothy Kahn Bar-Adon worked as a reporter
for The Palestine Post (later The Jerusalem Post), while
freelancing for periodicals in Palestine and abroad. Bar-Adon
covered life in towns, kibbutzim and Arab communities of Mandatory
Palestine during this period of World War, armed conflict between
Arabs and Jews, immigration to Israel of Holocaust survivors. Close
to 60 years after her death, this edited collection of Bar-Adon's
writing offers a vivid view both of daily life in the Jewish and
Arab communities of pre-State Israel, and of the burning issues of
the day.
Within the last half-century, early scholarly approaches and
analysis of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress have seen siginificant
advances in mandating and enabling a more contextualized view of
Bunyan's oeuvre. Utilizing this fresh examination of context, John
Bunyan's Imaginary Writings in Context explores Bunyan's writings
in a double context: his fictional works vis-a-vis his own
non-fictional writings, and his fictional writings in the context
of written materials by other authors - books, tracts, spiritual
biographies, and poems available to Bunyan. This volumepresents
these recent developments by blurring the boundaries between
fiction and non-fiction, between literature and history, and in the
case of Bunyan, between imaginative literatures in fiction and
theological writing. Moreover, this book aims to delineate the
imaginary world underlying Bunyan's fictional writings by viewing
Bunyan's own fictional works in tandem with his non-fiction
writings. Simultaneously it situates aspects of Bunyan's fiction in
the context of writings available to him, whether these be Holy
Scripture, religious tracts by other authors, or ballads and short
texts current in the wider culture of the time.
Framed by an understanding that the very concept of what defines
the human is often influenced by Renaissance and early modern
texts, this book establishes the beginning of the literary
development of the satanic form into a humanized form in the
seventeenth century. This development is centered on characters and
poetry of four seventeenth-century writers: the Satan character in
John Milton's Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, the Tempter in
John Bunyan's Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners and Diabolus
in Bunyan's The Holy War, the poetry of John Wilmot, earl of
Rochester, and Dorimant in George Etherege's Man of Mode. The
initial understanding of this development is through a sequential
reading of Milton and Bunyan which examines the Satan character as
an archetype-in-the-making, building upon each to work so that the
character metamorphoses from a groveling serpent and fallen
archangel to a humanized form embodying the human impulses
necessary to commit evil. Rosenfeld then argues that this
development continues in Restoration literature, showing that both
Rochester and Etherege build upon their literary predecessors to
develop the satanic figure towards greater humanity. Ultimately she
demonstrates that these writers, taken collectively, have imbued
Satan with the characteristics that define the human. This book
includes as an epilogue a discussion of Samson in Milton's Samson
Agonistes as a later seventeenth-century avatar of the humanized
satanic form, providing an example for understanding a stock
literary character in the light of early modern texts.

Bipolar is a condition that affects peoples? relationships with
others as much as it affects their own mental state. When one
person in a couple is experiencing the extreme highs and lows of a
disorder like this one, it's impossible for their partner not to
feel the strain too.
Reassuring yet realistic, Dr. Bloch, Dr. Golden, and Nancy
Rosenfeld explain what's normal, what's not, what might change, and
what definitely won?t. They provide information and advice on
typical troubling relationship topics, such as:
- Communication
- Trust and loyalty
- Family planning
- Finances
- Sex
- Maintaining a sense of self
By understanding the reality of bipolar and what it means for a
relationship, couples will relate to each other better today and
plan for a successful future together tomorrow.
