This is a major study of the relation between poetry and politcs in sixteenth and seventeenth century English literature, focusing in particular on the works of Spenser, Shakespeare, Jonson, Milton, and Dryden. Howard Erskine-Hill argues that the major tradition of political allusion is not, as has often been argued, that of the political allegory of Dryden's Absalom and Architophel, and other overtly political poems, but rather a more shifting and less systematic practice, often involving equivocal or multiple reference. Drawing on the revisionist trend in recent historiography, and taking issue with recent New Historicist criticism, the book offers new and thought-provoking readings of fam...

The disciples gathered around Jesus listening to His every word. They knew He was not going to be with them much longer. They needed to know, above all things, what they were going to do without Him. Jesus could hear their excitement as it cried out, Lord, what's next? With a smile on His face, He replied, Therefore go... I went. Let me tell you about it... I found mountains, oceans, walls, giants, lions, hard times, good times, rocks, endless roads, challenges, storms, impossibilities, blessings, sorrows, the call...and the answer. If you want to read about life changing experiences and be challenged like you have never been before, open the pages of this book. You won't want to stop reading until you have finished it. My hope is that you will be inspired to answer the call of every Christian...to be a missionary for God. Read on. It gets exciting, it gets emotional, it touches the heart, it gives hope. It makes the call.--Edwin Silié

They found that current terrorism prevention capabilities are relatively limited and that there is a perceived need for federal efforts to help strengthen local capacity. However, any federal efforts will need to focus on building community trust to be successful.
This study contends that folly is of fundamental importance to the implicit philosophical vision of Shakespeare’s drama. The discourse of folly’s wordplay, jubilant ironies, and vertiginous paradoxes furnish Shakespeare with a way of understanding that lays bare the hypocrisies and absurdities of the serious world. Like Erasmus, More, and Montaigne before him, Shakespeare employs folly as a mode of understanding that does not arrogantly insist upon the veracity of its own claims – a fool’s truth, after all, is spoken by a fool. Yet, as this study demonstrates, Shakespearean folly is not the sole preserve of professional jesters and garrulous clowns, for it is also apparent on a thema...
