In Staging Harmony, Katherine Steele Brokaw reveals how the relationship between drama, music, and religious change across England’s long sixteenth century moved religious discourse to more moderate positions. It did so by reproducing the complex personal attachments, nostalgic overtones, and bodily effects that allow performed music to evoke the feeling, if not always the reality, of social harmony. Brokaw demonstrates how theatrical music from the late fifteenth to the early seventeenth centuries contributed to contemporary discourses on the power and morality of music and its proper role in religious life, shaping the changes made to church music as well as people’s reception of those changes. In representing social, affective, and religious life in all its intricacy, and in unifying auditors in shared acoustic experiences, staged musical moments suggested the value of complexity, resolution, and compromise rather than oversimplified, absolutist binaries worth killing or dying for.
The theater represented the music of the church’s present and past. By bringing medieval and early Tudor drama into conversation with Elizabethan and Jacobean drama, Brokaw uncovers connections and continuities across diverse dramatic forms and demonstrates the staying power of musical performance traditions. In analyzing musical practices and discourses, theological debates, devotional practices, and early staging conditions, Brokaw offers new readings of well-known plays (Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, Shakespeare’s The Tempest and The Winter’s Tale) as well as Tudor dramas by playwrights including John Bale, Nicholas Udall, and William Wager.

Описание: Tom Brokaw recounts the endgame of the Watergate scandal and the Nixon presidency in real time, from his perspective in the press corps as a young White House correspondent for NBC News. In August 1974, after his involvement in the Watergate scandal was revealed, Richard Nixon became the first and only President to resign from office in anticipation of certain impeachment. The year that preceded was filled with shocking revelations and bizarre events, with power politics, legal jiu-jitsu and high-stakes showdowns, and with head-shaking surprises every day. Tom Brokaw, the NBC News White House correspondent during the final year of Watergate, writes of justice and judgment, in this nuanced and thoughtful chronicle, a close-up, personal account of the players, the strategies, and the highs and lows of the scandal that brought down a president. Brokaw says, "Now, almost half a century later, I find it instructive to remember what the country went through, and I wanted to share press stories from the inside looking out." He recounts Nixon's claims of executive privilege to withhold White House tape recordings of Oval Office conversations; the bribery scandal that led to the resignation of Vice President Spiro Agnew and the choice of Gerald Ford as VP; Nixon's firing of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox; travels with Henry Kissinger and how Nixon organized emergency relief for Israel during the Yom Kippur war in the midst of Watergate; Nixon's "I am not a crook" speech; the unanimous decision of the Supreme Court that required Nixon to turn over the tapes; and other insider moments from this important and dramatic period and event. Published in the 45th anniversary year of Nixon's resignation, The Fall of Richard Nixon allows readers to experience this American epic from the perspective of a journalist on the ground and at the center of it all, during this historic time.

Описание: Every year since 2002, over the third weekend of September, the town of Point Pleasant, West Virginia holds its Mothman Festival. But starting back in November 1966, locals reported dozens of disturbing sightings of a winged man near the Silver Bridge over the Ohio River. A little less than a year later, the Silver Bridge collapsed due to undetected structural defects right at the evening rush hour. Forty-six people lost their lives and nine more were injured.
Mothman's Vengeance offers a new perspective on an ancient Shawnee curse and ongoing mystery. When New York Detective Richard Cooper is found brutally murdered, Point Pleasant police search diligently for clues but come up empty-handed. As Richard's only son Michael presses the police, he begins to remember childhood nightmares of a red-eyed spectre. Then he learns his estranged mother was killed by a hit and run driver. As strange happenings and disturbing phone calls mount around Michael and his young family, the mystery deepens. Safe only within the walls of his ancestral home, Michael must find the clue that will release the curse that has killed generations of his forebears.
