This revised Student Edition includes an introduction by Daniel
Ciba, which looks in particular at the play as a piece of realism
or experimentalism and considers the play through the lens of Queer
Identity. The introduction includes discussion of very recent
revivals and adaptations of the play across the world. The Glass
Menagerie, Tennessee Williams' first great popular success and an
autobiographical play about his mother and sister, launched the
brilliant and controversial career of this ground-breaking American
playwright. Set in St Louis during the depression era of the 1930s,
it is the poignant drama of a family's gradual disintegration,
under pressure both from outside and within. METHUEN DRAMA STUDENT
EDITIONS are expertly annotated texts of a wide range of plays from
the modern and classic repertoires. A well as the complete text of
the play itself, this volume contains: · A chronology of the play
and the playwright’s life and work · an introductory discussion
of the social, political, cultural and economic context in which
the play was originally conceived and created · a succinct
overview of the creation processes followed and subsequent
performance history of the piece · an analysis of, and commentary
on, some of the major themes and specific issues addressed by the
text · a bibliography of suggested primary and secondary materials
for further study.

Scientism: The New Orthodoxy is a comprehensive philosophical
overview of the question of scientism, discussing the role and
place of science in the humanities, religion, and the social
sciences. Clarifying and defining the key terms in play in
discussions of scientism, this collection identifies the dimensions
that differentiate science from scientism. Leading scholars
appraise the means available to science, covering the impact of the
neurosciences and the new challenges it presents for the law and
the self. Illustrating the effect of scientism on the social
sciences, and the humanities, Scientism: the New Orthodoxy
addresses what science is and what it is not. This provocative
collection is an important contribution to the social sciences and
the humanities in the 21st century. Contributors include: Peter
Hacker, Bastiaan van Fraassen, Daniel N. Robinson, Kenneth
Schaffner, Roger Scruton, James K.A. Smith, Richard Swinburne,
Lawrence Principe and Richard N. Williams.
The life and songs of singer-songwriter Momus during his time at
Creation records and beyond. Momus - the stage name of musician
Nicholas Currie - is one of the most prolific and talented indie
songwriters of the last forty years. His work is controversial,
influential and highly regarded. From aspiring indie pop star of
the 1980s to Japanese chart success in the 1990s through many
experimental works to the present day, he has been a constant in
the search for intelligent, thinking person's pop. Jarvis Cocker
asked him to produce his band Pulp, the NME memorably awarded his
album "Hippopotamomus" 0/10, Creation Records dropped him when he
proved too dangerous for them, and his more controversial work led
to astounding legal tussles. His personal life has involved scandal
and heartbreak and he lost an eye following an infection, resulting
in his distinctive eye-patch. His songs including "The Hairstyle of
the Devil", "The Guitar Lesson" and "I Want You but I Don't Need
You" are acclaimed and have been covered by artists including
Amanda Palmer and Steven Wilson.
