Writers on the Left: Episodes in American Literary Communism

AARON, DANIEL

History & Criticism

The manifestations of what contemporaries called "Anglomania" have been noted countless times, even though no definitive study of it exists. But comparatively little attention has been directed to the countersentiments to which Anglophile tradition gave rise. These have attracted general interest and intensive study almost solely in connection with the constitutional controversy of 1789, when the anti-Anglophile party contended sharply with those interests which, invoking the alleged example of the English constitution demanded a government of checks and balances. This episode was only a late phase of a controversy that had been going on for many years. The present study undertakes to explore that controversy, beginning some time close to the Seven Years War.

Shakespeare's Henry VI and Richard III

Originally published in 1929, this book contains an examination of Shakespeare's three-part Henry VI and its 'sequel', Richard III. Alexander addresses a number of questions regarding the integrity of the texts of both plays, whether or not Shakespeare wrote them in collaboration with another author, and possible interpolations from other plays. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Shakespeare, particularly his histories.
