[093141] Gercen, Aleksandr I (Herzen) (Gertsen) ( 1812-1870 ). Byloe i dumy / Iskandera chast' pervaya (1812 - 1838 ) = Detskaya I universiet'. Herzen, Aleksandr Ivanovich 1812 - 1870, Russian revolutionary leader and writer. A member of the aristocracy, he was appalled at the brutality of his class, the lack of freedom at all levels of Russian society, and the terrible poverty of the serfs. He joined a socialist political circle and, as a punishment, was sent (1834) to the provinces as a civil servant. In 1840 he returned to Moscow, where he met and influenced Belinsky. In 1847, Herzen left Russia, never to return. He settled first in Paris, where he supported the Revolution of 1848, and later (1852) in England, where set up the first free Russian press abroad.Alexander Herzen's memoirs Byloe i dumy appeared abroad in fragments over several years, mainly after 1855, on the pages of the very popular almanac Poliarnaia zvezda. From London in 1861 under the title Past and Thoughts (Byloe i dumy) they appeared in book form. Herzen was approaching the end of the time of his greatest influence. Half the book is devoted to the oppositional movement of his youth, thirty years earlier in 1831-32. Two remarkable passages pierce to the very heart of the matter, the first in a chapter on student life at Moscow University and the second in a chapter on his return to legal life after his first exile in the 1840s. Quite unconsciously he sketches, in embryo, the main features of the other route to the Finland Station, the native lineage of the Russian revolution.

[092032-1] Griffiths ,Paul & Mark S. R. Jenner (edited by). Londinopolis: Essays in the cultural and social history of early modern London. (Politics, Culture and Society in Early Modern Britain) Events such as the fire of London and the Plague, and locations like the Globe, are part of our 'national heritage'. Yet until recently the history of London between 1500 and 1750 has been little studied. As a city London underwent exceptional changes. Its population soared from around 50,000 in 1500 to approximately 200,000 in 1600 and by 1700 it was nearly half a million. Whereas in 1500 it contained only 4 per cent of the population of England, by 1750 it was over 11 per cent. This demographic explosion transformed the nature of the city. From being a relatively close knit community it became a vast and rootless metropolis, as big as the great cities of Europe. Londoners came to rely more on newsprint than gossip to find out what was going on and the period saw a rapid expansion in publishing and literacy. The size and diversity of London made it a centre of new social and sexual identities and a solvent of older, more hierarchical forms of social organisation. The essays in this volume range widely, covering the themes of polis and the police, gender and sexuality, space and place, and material culture and consumption. Within these themes we encounter thieves, prostitutes, litigious wives, the poor, disease, 'great quantities of gooseberry pye' and the very taxing question of fresh water. CONTENTS: 1.

In 764, after an epidemic, the Erra epic, the myth of Erra (the god of war and pestilence), was written by Kabti-ilani-Marduk of the Dabibi-family . He invented an original plot, which diverged considerably from the old myths; long discourses of the gods involved in the action form the most important part of the epic. There is a passage in the epic claiming that the text was divinely revealed to the poet during a dream. The Erra-Epic is written as a dialogue between gods [WO ]  £45.00

He took his bardic name from that of the forest of Glyn Cothi, within the confines of which, probably, he was born, perhaps at Pwllcynbyd in the parish of Llanybydder. Early in life he became an outlaw in North Wales in company with Owen ap Gruffudd ap Nicholas. This may have been as early as 1443. The earliest certainly datable of his poems is his elegy upon the death of Sir Griffith Vychan of Guilsfield, in 1447. Like the children of Gruffudd ap Nicholas (q.v.), he sided with the Lancastrian party in the Wars of the Roses, and Jasper Tudor (q.v.), earl of Pembroke, and afterwards duke of Bedford, was his hero. He became an outlaw, on account of his devotion to Jasper, after the battle of Mortimer's Cross, 1461. [ ST ]  £15.00

Oxford, 1983; 408pp., bound with d\jacket, , ill., This study, while primarily intended for the teacher and student of Russian lite rature, should be of value to the general reader. It should be useful to those studying (i) the history of the Russian intelligentsia; (ii) Russian aesthetic, artistic and literary movements e.g. the conflict between adherents of 'pure' and 'committed' art, the advent of Russian modernism; (iii) 19th- and early 20th-century European literary and cultural movements; and (iv) the history and poetics of the short story. It offers sidelights on Turgenev, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Gorky, Andreyev and Babel'; and illustrates the socio-political and ideological controversies in Russia at a crucial stage: the aftermath of the "To the People" Movement (khozhdeniye v narod); the phrase in the Revolutionary Movement dominated by the "Madness of the Brave" (bezumstvo khrabrykh) - the conspirational revolutionary groups of Land and Freedom (Zemlya i Volya) and The People's Will (Narodnaya Volya) of the late 1870's and early 1880's; the "debacle" after the assasination of Alexander II in 1881; and the succeeding period, when Marxism began to oust populism (naronichestvo) as the dominant revolutionary ideology.  £25.00
