Book Description
In this accessible critical introduction to Dante's Divine Comedy Robin Kirkpatrick principally focuses on Dante as a poet and storyteller. He addresses important questions such as Dante's attitude towards Virgil, and demonstrates how an early work such as the Vita nuova is a principal source of the literary achievement of the Comedy. His detailed reading reveals how the great narrative poem explores the relationship that Dante believed to exist between God as creator of the universe and the human being as a creature of God.

Book Description
A is for Alphabet...because you probably need a refresher. If you're not laughing by the end of this book...well, you're probably slower than molasses on a cold day. Or maybe you're just as sharp as a cue ball. But the rest of us sure will find plenty of guffaws in this side-splittingly uproarious ABC, which takes comic aim at the redneck lifestyle. It's got 26 letters (yes, that's how many there are) worth of fun, all illustrated with hilarious cartoons of rednecks and their more refined and proper dogs. G is for grandmother (who's also your aunt and your sister). L is for Lottery-otherwise known as the redneck retirement plan. And V is for the velvet Elvis painting that probably hangs in your trailer. This'll be hotter than a mess of collard greens on the back burner of a $4 stove! And because we know how difficult the alphabet can be for those rednecks, we have several extra usages of the letters in the alphabet.

Book Description
Classical Rhetoric in the Middle Ages: The Medieval Rhetors and Their Art 400-1300, with Manuscript Survey to 1500 CE is a completely updated version of John Ward’s much-used doctoral thesis of 1972, and is the definitive treatment of this fundamental aspect of medieval and rhetorical culture. It is commonly believed that medieval writers were interested only in Christian truth, not in Graeco-Roman methods of ‘persuasion’ to whatever viewpoint the speaker / writer wanted. Dr Ward, however, investigates the content of well over one thousand medieval manuscripts and shows that medieval writers were fully conscious of and much dependent upon Graeco-Roman rhetorical methods of persuasion. The volume then demonstrates why and to what purpose this use of classical rhetoric took place.
