Stephen Colbert
On his television show "The Colbert Report," which aired on Comedy Central from 2005 to 2014, Colbert played the nation's fool. By good-naturedly mocking the mainstream media, politicians, and others, he made pointed commentary on how those in power attempt to both manipulate and win the trust of the American public. In 2015, Colbert began hosting his own late night show, "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," where he interviews guests and continues to cover important political and cultural events. His accolades have been serious and prestigious: Colbert has been named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People twice. He has also received Emmy awards, Peabody awards, and an honorary doctorate degree from Knox College. Special attention is paid to explaining the philosophy behind Colbert's comedic personas, reasons for his popularity, and examples of his cultural influence.
Maggie: A Girl of the Streets
First published in 1893, when Stephen Crane was only twenty-one years old, Maggie is the harrowing tale of a young woman’s fall into prostitution and destitution in New York City's notorious Bowery slum. In dazzlingly vivid prose and with a sexual candour remarkable for his day, Crane depicts an urban sub-culture awash with alcohol and patrolled by the swaggering gangland "tough." Presented here with its companion piece George’s Mother and a selection of Crane’s other Bowery stories, this edition of Maggie includes a detailed introduction that places the novel in its social, cultural, and literary contexts. The appendices provide an unrivalled range of documentary sources covering such topics as religious and civic reform writing, slum fiction, the "new journalism," and literary realism and naturalism. An up-to-date bibliography of scholarly work on Crane is also included.
