Quiet Testimony finds in such attunement a valuable rethinking of what it means to encounter the truth. It argues that four key writers—Emerson, Douglass, Melville, and Henry James—open up the domain of the witness by articulating quietude’s claim on the clamoring world.The premise of quiet testimony responds to urgent questions in critical theory and human rights. Emerson is brought into conversation with Levinas, and Douglass is considered alongside Agamben. Yet the book is steeped in the intellectual climate of the nineteenth century, in which speech and meaning might exceed the bounds of the recognized human subject. In this context, Melville’s characters could read the weather, and James’s could spend an evening with dead companions.By following the path by which ostensibly unremarkable entities come to voice, Quiet Testimony suggests new configurations for ethics, politics, and the literary.American literature19th centuryHistory and criticismWitness bearing (Christianity) in literatureAmerican literatureHistory and criticism.Witness bearing (Christianity) in literature.810.9/382Goldberg Shari1860273MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910955985303321Quiet testimony4464983UNINA02699nam 2200625 a 450 991097443150332120251116143209.01-134-74119-71-134-74120-01-280-32678-60-203-13663-210.4324/9780203136638 (CKB)111056485530396(EBL)166100(OCoLC)437074637(SSID)ssj0000145497(PQKBManifestationID)11147614(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000145497(PQKBWorkID)10157219(PQKB)10297941(MiAaPQ)EBC166100(Au-PeEL)EBL166100(CaPaEBR)ebr5003757(CaONFJC)MIL32678(OCoLC)49569885(EXLCZ)9911105648553039619990921d2000 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrElizabeth I and foreign policy, 1558-1603 /Susan Doran1st ed.London ;New York Routledge20001 online resource (96 p.)Lancaster PamphletsDescription based upon print version of record.1-138-14665-X 0-415-15355-7 Includes bibliographical references (p. 71-75) and index.Book Cover; Title; Contents; Maps; Genealogical charts; Chronology; Glossary; Background: English Foreign Policy before 1558; New Problems 1558 68; Traditional Directions in Foreign Policy 1558 68; Scotland; France; Crisis Management 1568 85; 1568 73; 1574 81; 1581 85; The Contemporary Debate over Policy 1558 85; War 1585 1603; Conclusions; Select BibliographyAt her accession in 1558 Elizabeth I inherited a troublesome legacy with a long history of wars against France and Scotland.
