The Words of Winston Churchill
The Words of Winston Churchill, a study that ranges over the course of a rich, controversial and remarkable career, is about the power and art of his language as a writer and speaker. Churchill used words as the greatest of poets and orators do, and did so in Parliament and for the people, Britain and the empire, in war and peace, facing the changes in the world, and resisting Hitler and the Nazis. Drawing on the traditions of poetics, rhetoric and textual commentary, the study concentrates on Churchill’s writing and is sensitive to texts and contexts and to the archive. A central matter is Churchill speaking in Parliament and the reception of his speeches there for over six decades, although his work as a writer and a speaker outside the House of Commons is also important. Churchill speaks to the House, the people, Britain, the Empire, the Commonwealth and the world and, in crisis, defends freedom and democracy.
LOKMANYA BAL GANGADHAR TILAK
Born a year before the First War of Independence, Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak died 27 years before India became free. His life thus spans the major part of our struggle for freedom. Tilak made his countrymen conscious of their slavery and created in them the urge for freedom. He was described by Sir Valentine Chirol, Special Correspondent of the Times, London as “the father of Indian unrest”. But Tilak did much more than that. He made it vocal; he gave it shape; he directed it into constructive channels. Tilak did not merely coin the slogan Swarajya is my birthright and I will have it. He blazed the trail for it through life-long struggle and sacrifice, persecution and imprisonment, dynamic and multifarious activities. N. G. Jog, the author has lucidly compressed and compiled a personality without sacrificing any detail.
