Collecting the Self
Chinese strange tale collections contain short stories about ghosts and animal spirits, supra-human heroes and freaks, exotic lands and haunted homes, earthquake and floods, and other perceived “anomalies” to accepted cosmic and social norms. As such, this body of literature is a rich repository of Chinese myths, folklore, and unofficial “histories”. These collections also reflect Chinese attitudes towards normalcy and strangeness, perceptions of civilization and barbarism, and fantasies about self and other. Inspired in part by Freud’s theory of the uncanny, this book explores the emotive subtexts of late imperial strange tale collections to consider what these stories tell us about suppressed cultural anxieties, the construction of gender, and authorial self-identity.
WAN DAY YAH II
This exercise is not a translation of The Holy Bible. The main intention of this exercise is to pen down Commentaries, in the Mountain Krio Vernacular which I was taught at home from infancy, and which was the cradle of the developing Krio Vernacular in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It is almost undeniable that the main bulk of indigenous missionaries, teachers, traders, and so on, who settled in The Provinces emanated from, or were trained in the Greater Mountain District of the Peninsula. Of course the Krio Vernacular also developed in other parts of the Peninsula.
The Assiniboine
Edwin Thompson Denig entered the fur trade on the Upper Missouri River in 1833. As husband to the daughter of an Assiniboine headman and as a bookkeeper stationed at Fort Union, Denig became knowledgeable about the tribal groups of the Upper Missouri. By the 1840s and 1850s, several noted investigators of Indian culture were consulting him, including Audubon, Hayden, and Schoolcraft. Not content to drawn on his own knowledge, he interviewed in company with the Indians for an entire year until he had obtained satisfactory answers.
REBIRTH OF THE GENTLENESS PART 3
When the Imperial Concubine received the news, she immediately revealed a satisfied smile: “I didn’t expect this child to value wealth more than life. I was really too sentimental before. Loving money is good, as long as you have something you like, it’s good enough.” Guo Mama beside him laughed and said, “This servant has long said that Your Highness is too thoughtful. Such a child, why would Your Highness need to worry about him? Look, isn’t it just mud that can’t be applied to the wall? I wonder what His Majesty’s reaction will be when he receives the news. Concubine Su and Princess Fu Hui are both noble and pure people, how could they give birth to a child who loves money as much as life.”
Indian Tribes of the Upper Missouri
This manuscript is entitled "A Report to the Hon. Isaac I. Stevens, Governor of Washington Territory, on the Indian Tribes of the Upper Missouri, by Edwin Thompson Denig." It has been edited and arranged with an introduction, notes, a biographical sketch of the author, and a brief bibliography of the tribes mentioned in the report. The report consists of 451 pages of foolscap size; closely written in a clear and fine script with 15 pages of excellent pen sketches and one small drawing, to which illustrations the editor has added two photographs of Edwin Thompson Denig and his Assiniboin wife, Hai-kees-kak-wee-lãh, Deer Little Woman, and a view of Old Fort Union taken from "The Manoe-Denigs," a family chronicle, New York, 1924. The manuscript is undated, but from internal evidence it seems safe to assign it to about the year 1854...

When the Grand Design is finally revealed it will spell the last ride for Mr. Armed and Brokenhearted.

Elegies of Chu
Elegies of Chu is an anthology of early Chinese poems and contains the work of Qu Yuan and other poets from the southern state of Chu and the Han dynasty. From Qu Yuan's own challenges to a corrupt regime, to the sensuous descriptive poetry of Song Yu, to the divine encounters of the 'Nine Songs', the anthology privileges individual voices of protest, longing, and transcendence, and so presents us with a unique and unparalleled vantage point on Chinese culture. The contents begin with the predicament of an alienated courtier, and range across the vast landscapes of the Han empire. The anthology provides readers with an understanding of Chinese literature and its evolution from free-spirited, mythico-religious songs to the more formal, polished style of the Han court. This entirely new translation by Nicholas Morrow Williams aims to be faithful to the linguistic specificity and baroque sensibility of the original poems. Book jacket.
