Kane (1822-1883), a crusader for antislavery, women's rights, and the downtrodden, rose to prominence in his day as the most ardent and persuasive defender of Mormons' religious liberty. Though not a Mormon, Kane sought to defend the much-reviled group from the "Holy War" waged against them by evangelical America. His courageous personal intervention averted a potentially catastrophic bloody conflict between federal troops and Mormon settlers in the now nearly forgotten Utah War of 1857-58. Drawing on extensive, newly available archives, this book is the first to tell the full story of Kane's extraordinary life. The book illuminates his powerful Philadelphia family, his personal life and eccentricities, his reform achievements, his place in Mormon history, and his career as a Civil War general. Further, the book revises previous understandings of nineteenth-century reform, showing how Kane and likeminded others fused Democratic Party ideology, anti-evangelicalism, and romanticism. 410 0$aLamar series in western history. 606 $aMormons$zWest (U.S.)$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMormon pioneers$zUtah$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMormon Church$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSocial reformers$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aAbolitionists$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aSoldiers$zUnited States$vBiography 607 $aUtah$xHistory$y19th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMormons$xHistory 615 0$aMormon pioneers$xHistory 615 0$aMormon Church$xHistory 615 0$aSocial reformers 615 0$aAbolitionists 615 0$aSoldiers 676 $a979.2/02092 700 $aGrow$b Matthew J$01037246 712 02$aCharles Redd Center for Western Studies. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455065703321 996 $a"Liberty to the downtrodden"$92458081 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04189nam 22007451c 450 001 9910779014403321 005 20200115203623.0 010 $a1-4725-4241-X 010 $a1-280-57933-1 010 $a9786613609106 010 $a1-4411-3439-5 024 7 $a10.5040/9781472542410 035 $a(CKB)2550000000101325 035 $a(EBL)918750 035 $a(OCoLC)793996898 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000634803 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11380724 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000634803 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10643397 035 $a(PQKB)11447456 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC918750 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL918750 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10562634 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL360910 035 $a(OCoLC)944224707 035 $a(UtOrBLW)bpp09255833 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000101325 100 $a20140929d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aEthics and desire in the wake of postmodernism $econtemporary satire $fGraham Matthews 210 1$aNew York $cContinuum $d2012. 215 $a1 online resource (209 p.) 225 0 $aContinuum literary studies 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-4725-2637-6 311 $a1-4411-4007-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index 327 $aYou do an awfully good impression of yourself: fear and uncertainty in Bret Easton Ellis' Lunar Park -- Nihilism and the sublime in Chuck Palahniuk's Fight Club -- Revolution and the multitude in J.G.

The previous decade has seen a growing interest in criticism of postmodern ethics and aesthetics from theorists and writers. This book begins to answer what art form or critical methodology might take its place.  Exploring the work of six contemporary novelists - Bret Easton Ellis, J.G. Ballard, Will Self, Michel Houellebecq, Tama Janowitz and Chuck Palahniuk - Ethics and Desire in the Wake of Postmodernism delivers a series of interventions into six key areas of contemporary debate: fear, nihilism, revolution, ethics, enjoyment and feminism. The book goes on to develop an innovative critical methodology which reinvigorates the ability of art and literature to engage in ideological critique. Rather than valorising separatism, plurality or indeterminacy, this approach delivers a critical framework which enacts a radical de-centering of the fundamental coordinates of contemporary society. 410 0$aContinuum literary studies. 606 $aFiction$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc 606 $2Literary studies: from c 1900 - 606 $aSatire 606 $aEthics in literature 606 $aDesire in literature 606 $aPostmodernism (Literature) 615 0$aFiction$xHistory and criticism$xTheory, etc. 615 0$aSatire. 615 0$aEthics in literature. 615 0$aDesire in literature. 615 0$aPostmodernism (Literature) 676 $a809.3/9357 700 $aMatthews$b Graham$0863142 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779014403321 996 $aEthics and desire in the wake of postmodernism$93838712 997 $aUNINA
