Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

First Published in 2011. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
In this fourth volume of Joseph E. Gillet's monumental study,
Propalladia and Other Works of Bartolome De Torres Naharro, all
students of Renaissance drama will find a wealth of material on the
origins of the modern European theater. Torres Naharro created the
cloak-and-sword play almost a century before Lope de Vega. The
common-places of romantic comedy appeared, for the first time on
any stage, in his Comedia Ymenea published at Naples in 1517. Two
of his works, the Soldadesca and the Tinellaria--evocations of the
roistering life of the barracks and of a cardinal's scullery--are
remarkable examples of dramatic realism avant Ia lettre. The
influence of Torres Naharro and his work on the Spanish drama of
the sixteenth century was all pervasive. In this volume, all the
material gleaned by Dr. Gillet in extensive research is brought
into clear focus to show Torres Naharro as a man of the Renaissance
and a man of the theater. Of the greatest interest is the
exposition of his intuition of the distinction between poetic and
historic truth--commedias a fantasia and a noticia--long before the
recovery of the true text of Aristotle's Poetics, and of the
substratum of primitivism in many of his plays: ritual societies,
the medicine man, the right to tribute, social discipline, name
changing, loss of memory, sports, games, acrobatics, sorcery,
riddles, genealogies, weddings, propitiation and death song,
resuscitation, license and chastity, and so on. And this dramatic
activity occurred early, antedating most of the Italian plays of
the sixteenth century.

This is the first major collection of letters by the
Revolutionary-era woman writer. This volume gathers more than one
hundred letters - most of them previously unpublished - written by
Mercy Otis Warren (1728-1814). Warren, whose works include a
three-volume history of the American Revolution as well as plays
and poems, was a major literary figure of her era and one of the
most important American women writers of the eighteenth century.
Her correspondents included Martha and George Washington, Abigail
and John Adams, and Catharine Macaulay.Until now, Warren's letters
have been published sporadically, in small numbers, and mainly to
help complete the collected correspondence of some of the famous
men to whom she wrote. This volume addresses that imbalance by
focusing on Warren's letters to her family members and other women.
As they flesh out our view of Warren and correct some
misconceptions about her, the letters offer a wealth of insights
into eighteenth-century American culture, including social customs,
women's concerns, political and economic conditions, medical
issues, and attitudes on child rearing.This title features letters
that Warren sent to other women who had lost family members (Warren
herself lost three children) reveal her sympathies; and, letters to
a favorite son, Winslow, that show her sharing her ambitions with a
child who resisted her advice. What readers of other Warren letters
may have only sensed about her is now revealed more fully: she was
a woman of considerable intellect, religious faith, compassion,
literary intelligence, and acute sensitivity to the historical
moment of even everyday events in the new American republic.
The twelve essays in this fiorilegio of the work of Otis H. Green
afford a representative view of the thought and scholarship of one
of the world's foremost Hispanists. In each of them is developed
some important facet of the intellectual milieu of the Middle Ages
and Renaissance, reflecting Otis Green's life-long and wide-ranging
quest for evidence that would broaden our understanding of those
complex periods and correct the misapprehensions which have
gathered about them. Included are important sections of his great
work, Spain and the Western Tradition and essays from journals now
difficult to obtain or out of print. This book provides a valuable
introduction to Spanish thought and to the work of a scholar who
has done much to elucidate it.
A timely, historical look at Fourth Amendment jurisprudence,
covering more than two centuries of search-and-seizure law, from
landmark judicial decisions to enduring controversies. Unreasonable
Searches and Seizures: Rights and Liberties under the Law provides
a comprehensive exploration of the development of the Fourth
Amendment from the late 18th century to the present. The work
clearly explains complex legal questions and pivotal judicial
decisions, illustrating the controversial nature of Fourth
Amendment issues and differentiating between reasonable and
unreasonable searches and seizures. Presenting a wealth of cases
and examples, the authors analyze important developments, such as
the impact of the Supreme Court's decision in Weeks v. United
States (prohibiting federal courts from admitting evidence obtained
in violation of the Amendment), the expansion of Fourth Amendment
protections in the 1960s, the apparent weakening of rights since
the early 1970s, and the contraction of the exclusionary rule in
response to the war on drugs and the war on terror. A-Z listing of
key individuals, historical events, and landmark court cases,
including Boyd v. United States, the chief justiceship of Earl
Warren, the Rehnquist Court, the war on drugs, and the war on
terrorism Excerpts from critical primary documents, court
decisions, and statutory provisions
