Описание: Timed to release with famed director Tim Burton`s remake of Alice in Wonderland in March 2010, this is a richly philosophic tale that analyzes being and non-being, nonsense and language games, perception and reality, and even drug culture. This is the first book to delve into Alice`s wonderland and analyze the philosophy behind the tale while comparing the work to the philosophy of Socrates, Derrida, Rorty, and Wittgenstein, among many others.

Описание: A scathing critique of the legal status of women and their property rights in nineteenth-century America, Rebecca Harding Davis's 1878 novel A Law Unto Herself chronicles the experiences of Jane Swendon, a seemingly na ve and conventional nineteenth-century protagonist struggling to care for her elderly father with limited financial resources. In order to continue care, Jane seeks to secure her rightful inheritance despite the efforts of her cousin and later her husband, a greedy man who has tricked her father into securing her hand in marriage. Appealing to middle-class literary tastes of the age, A Law Unto Herself elucidated for a broad general audience the need for legal reforms regarding divorce, mental illness, inheritance, and reforms to the Married Women's Property Laws. Through three fascinating female characters, the novel also invites readers to consider evolving gender roles during a time of cultural change. Rebecca Harding Davis (1831-1910) built a career spanning nearly half a century from her apprenticeship newspaper work for the Wheeling (WV) Intelligencer in the 1850s to her last published short story at the time of her death. She is best known for the publication of her novella Life in the Iron-Mills (1861) in the Atlantic Monthly. Alicia Mischa Renfroe is an associate professor of English at Middle Tennessee State University.
