Part 1, The Poet, reconstructs the poet's life and times providing the background for Part II, The Poetry, which traces the influences in Ibn al-R?m?'s distinctive poetic style and themes. This provides a glimpse into a rather fluid period in Arabic literary history when the boundary between poetry and prose was becoming increasingly permeable, due to the emergence of the so-called "secretary-poets," and to the prevalence and importance of the mun??arah , or disputation. Part III, The Poem, analyzes the poet's celebrated 282-line poem commemorating the quashing of the Zanj rebellion. The towering architectonics and sophisticated organization of this poem provide an ideal opportunity to explore Ibn al-R?m?'s poetic contribution. 410 0$aBrill Studies in Middle Eastern Literatures ;$v28. 517 3 $aIbn al-R?m? and his Poetics in Context 606 $aAbbasids 606 $aLyric 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAbbasids. 615 0$aLyric. 676 $a891/.5511 700 $aMcKinney$b Robert$01074776 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450969103321 996 $aThe Case of Rhyme versus Reason$92581580 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05358nam 2200865Ia 450 001 9910791459303321 005 20230725015740.0 010 $a0-8147-8539-5 010 $a0-8147-2112-5 024 7 $a10.18574/9780814785393 035 $a(CKB)2560000000050201 035 $a(EBL)865989 035 $a(OCoLC)779828346 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000418398 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11267803 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000418398 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10377066 035 $a(PQKB)10985610 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0001323738 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC865989 035 $a(OCoLC)670447889 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse4822 035 $a(DE-B1597)548345 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780814785393 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL865989 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10415958 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000050201 100 $a20100520d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aGallatin$b[electronic resource] $eAmerica's Swiss founding father /$fNicholas Dungan 210 $aNew York $cNew York University Press$d2010 215 $a1 online resource (208 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8147-2111-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tForeword --$tForeword --$tAcknowledgments --$tIntroduction --$t1.

Gallatin was the first president of the council of New York University and his name lives on at NYU?s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, so it is with pride that New York University Press and the Swiss Confederation publish this new biography of Gallatin. Gallatin?s story is the opposite of the classic American immigrant tale. Born in Geneva, the product of an old and noble family and highly educated in the European tradition, Gallatin made contributions to America throughout his career that far outweighed any benefit he procured for himself. He got his first taste of politics as a Pennsylvania state representative and went on to serve in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. Gallatin became the Secretary of Treasury in Jefferson?s administration and, despite being of the opposite political party to Alexander Hamilton, Gallatin fully respected his predecessor?s fiscal politics. Gallatin undertook a special diplomatic mission for President Madison, which ended the War of 1812 with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent and gave the United States its genuine independence. Gallatin continued in diplomacy as minister to France and to Great Britain, where he skillfully combined his American experience and European background. In the early 1830's, at the age of seventy, he retired from politics and commenced a new career in New York City as a banker, public figure, and intellectual. He helped establish New York University and the American Ethnological Society, became an expert in Native American ethnology and linguistics, and served as president of the New-York Historical Society. Gallatin died at age 88 and is buried in Trinity churchyard at Broadway and Wall Street. In our own day, as we look at reforming our financial system and seek to enhance America?s global image, it is well worth resurrecting Albert Gallatin?s timeless contributions to the United States, at home and abroad. Nicholas Dungan?s compelling biography reinserts this forgotten Founding Father into the historical canon and reveals the transatlantic dimensions of early American history.Co-published with the Swiss Confederation, Federal Department of Foreign Affairs. 606 $aStatesmen$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aSwiss Americans$vBiography 607 $aGeneva (Switzerland)$vBiography 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1783-1865 610 $aAmerican. 610 $aDungans. 610 $aFather. 610 $aFounding. 610 $aNicholas. 610 $abiography. 610 $acanon. 610 $acompelling. 610 $adimensions. 610 $aearly. 610 $aforgotten. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory. 610 $ainto. 610 $areinserts. 610 $areveals. 610 $athis. 610 $atransatlantic. 615 0$aStatesmen 615 0$aSwiss Americans 676 $a973.4092 676 $aB 700 $aDungan$b Nicholas$01484692 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791459303321 996 $aGallatin$93703472 997 $aUNINA
