Solid, and extremely well-footnoted, account of the Teapot Dome scandal of the 1920s. It's also fairly well-balanced, and explains readily why the scandal did not topple the Republican Party, owing to some careful management by Calvin Coolidge. A good starting point for any reading on the subject. ( ) no reviews | add a review
This study traces affinities between the late prophetic poems of William Blake and the work of the philosopher Soren Kierkegaard. Both feature concepts (the Spectre fought by Blake's poet-prophet Los, and Kierkegaard's idea of "dread") embodying a spirit of philosophical negation, skepticism, and dialectic which the writers sought to resist. Lorraine Clark uses Kierkegaard's philosophy to illuminate Blake's prophecies, showing that both offer the basis for a profound critique of romanticism, while themselves partaking of some of the ideals and tensions central to our understanding of the romantic movement.
