Collectively, the four volumes in this series give scholars, teachers, and students easy access to the full texts of the most important, fundamental documents as well as hard-to-find, rarely published primary sources on this critical period in U.S. history. The first two volumes of the series, Legislative Achievements and Political Arguments, were released last year. The final installments, Judicial Decisions, is split into two volumes, with this one, volume 3, spanning from 1857 to 1866. It contains some of the classic judicial decisions of the time such as the 1857 decision in Dred Scott and the 1861 Ex parte Merryman decision. Other decisions are well known to specialists but deserve wider readership and discussion, such as the October 1859 Jefferson County, Virginia, indictment of John Brown and the decision in the 1864 case of political and seditious activity in Ex parte Vallandigham. These judicial voices constitute a lasting and often overlooked aspect of the age of Abraham Lincoln. Mackey's headnotes and introductory essays situate cases within their historical context and trace their lasting significance. In contrast to the war, these judicial decisions lasted well past their immediate political and legal moment and deserve continued scholarship and scrutiny. This document collection presents the raw "stuff" of the Civil War era so that students, scholars, and interested readers can measure and gauge how that generation met Lincoln's challenge to "think anew, and act anew." A Documentary History of the American Civil War Era is an essential acquisition for academic and public libraries in addition to being a valuable resource for courses on the Civil War and Reconstruction, legal history, political history, and nineteenth-century American history. 410 0$aVoices of the Civil War. 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1861-1865$vSources 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yCivil War, 1861-1865$vSources 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a973.71 702 $aMackey$b Thomas C. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464571903321 996 $aA documentary history of the American Civil War era$92455112 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03481nam 2200709Ia 450 001 9910792379303321 005 20230725023117.0 010 $a9786612936128 010 $a1-282-93612-3 010 $a1-282-45793-4 010 $a9786612457937 010 $a0-691-12881-2 024 7 $a10.1515/9781400834358 035 $a(CKB)2670000000009259 035 $a(EBL)483526 035 $a(OCoLC)697174361 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000364214 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12110743 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000364214 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10394746 035 $a(PQKB)10574707 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC483526 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse36557 035 $a(DE-B1597)447047 035 $a(OCoLC)979632406 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781400834358 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4968526 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL483526 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10367848 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL293612 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4968526 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL245793 035 $a(OCoLC)741250558 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000009259 100 $a20090604d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aPen of iron$b[electronic resource] $eAmerican prose and the King James Bible /$fRobert Alter 205 $aCourse Book 210 $aPrinceton, NJ $cPrinceton University Press$d2010 215 $a1 online resource (209 p.) 300 $aIncludes index. 311 $a1-4008-3435-X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $t Frontmatter -- $tContents -- $tAcknowledgments -- $tPrelude.

In this book, acclaimed biblical translator and literary critic Robert Alter traces some of the fascinating ways that American novelists--from Melville, Hemingway, and Faulkner to Bellow, Marilynne Robinson, and Cormac McCarthy--have drawn on the rich stylistic resources of the canonical English Bible to fashion their own strongly resonant styles and distinctive visions of reality. Showing the radically different manners in which the words, idioms, syntax, and cadences of this Bible are woven into Moby-Dick, Absalom, Absalom!, The Sun Also Rises, Seize the Day, Gilead, and The Road, Alter reveals the wide variety of stylistic and imaginative possibilities that American novelists have found in Scripture. At the same time, Alter demonstrates the importance of looking closely at the style of literary works, making the case that style is not merely an aesthetic phenomenon but is the very medium through which writers conceive their worlds. 606 $aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBible and literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBible and literature. 676 $a810.9/3822 700 $aAlter$b Robert$0168752 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792379303321 996 $aPen of iron$93804085 997 $aUNINA
