Book Description
The Horse Interlude presents a pictorial history of the role horses played in the wheat farming operations of the Pacific Northwest, concentrating on the geographical area located along the Snake River in Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. In it Thomas B. Keith surveys the period from the mid-1850s to the 1930s, during which technological innovations progressively enabled farmers to improve the efficiency of wheat farming operations, beginning with the replacement of the cradle and flail by the horse, and ending when the horse was in its turn supplanted by the self-propelled combine. Detailed photographs of horse-drawn equipment illustrate the ways in which the use of horses changed during three successive periods of agricultural history: the pioneer settlement of the area, the inauguration of large-scale farming, and the attainment of mechanization. Other sections of the book relate the histories of threshers, headers, and horse-propelled harvesters, while the conclusion recounts the accomplishments of the Northwest's greatest riders. In telling the story of the "horse interlude," Keith draws the reader back to a time of rapid growth and change, a time created by the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the early wheat farmers of the Pacific Northwest and their hard-working partners, the horses.

The Late Medieval Interlude
Author: Fiona S. Dunlop
Publisher: Boydell & Brewer
ISBN: 1903153212
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
Sensitive study of the 15/16 century interlude, focussing on one of its major concerns, the depiction of male aristocracy and the development to maturity. The commercial theatre of the late sixteenth century is often credited with introducing its audiences to new modes of thought about the self, society and the nation, making them conscious that the self is performed, as an actor performs a role. Yet the earlier interlude drama, originally performed in households and other institutions of the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, indicates that the late medieval period was fully aware of the theatricalityof identity. This book argues that ideas of performance inform the concepts of aristocratic masculinity developed in the plays Nature, Fulgens and Lucres, The Worlde and the Chylde, The Interlude of Youth and Calisto and Melebea. It examines how the depiction of young male aristocrats in these texts is shaped by ideas of male youth constituted in the middle ages, and shows them as failing or succeeding to perform anadult noble masculinity in the aristocratic body and in aristocratic household. The book also suggests ways in which the plays offer discreet praise and censure of the manner in which their noble patrons performed as aristocrats.Throughout, it brings out the subtle qualities of the interludes, which, the author shows, have been unjustly neglected.
