Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Printed in the U.S.A. [Date from the copyright page.] First Printing. Introduction, Footnotes include Bibliographical References; 220 pages. The original polished black cloth is in excellent shape, with gilt lettering and decorative lines on the spine as bright as if just issued; author's signature in blind on the upper board. The interior is pristine---bright, crisp, and clean despite some dust-spotting on the top edge. The original attractive dust jacket is a bit toned with a clipped inner flap; however, the price appears at the top ($8.95) with the date 4-75 still present at the bottom. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] "The first essay gives an historical account of the level at which his other writings must be read. As philosophical autobiography, it gives a fairly detailed account of his relation to phenomenology, and is also an excellent preview of that transmutation of circumstances into doctrine and method so characteristic of his work. It opens with a 'preface' that never appeared in Germany. Events in Munich in 1934 so disgusted Ortega that he forbade its publication." [Flap and Translator's Note] As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.

"As one of the major figures in the history of jazz, Horace Silver's reminiscences are priceless. Simply put, the man is a national treasure. Horace's sensitivity, passions and creative sources emerge in this engaging book, a tribute to his determination and to Phil Pastras' skill and sensitivity as an editor. It will be celebrated by jazz scholars and fans everywhere." - Steven Isoardi, author of The Dark Tree and Central Avenue Sounds.

The fact that it does - and in the United States a rape is reported every six minutes - indicates that we live in a rape-prone culture where rape or the threat of rape functions as a tool for enforcing sexual difference and hierarchy. Rape and Representation explores how cultural forms construct and re-enforce social attitudes and behaviors that perpetuate sexual violence. The essays proceed from the observation that literature not only reflects but also contributes to what a society believes about itself. ***Fourteen essays by authors in the fields of English, American and African-American, German, African, Brazilian, Classical, and French literatures and film present a wide range of texts from different historical periods and cultures. Contributors demythologize patriarchal representation in literature and art in order to show how it makes rape seem natural and inevitable. Contributors include: the editors, John J. Winkler, Patricia Klindiest Joplin, Susan Winnett, Ellen Rooney, Coppelia Kahn, Eileen Julien, Marta Peixoto, Kathryn Gravdal, Carla Freccero, Nellie V. McKay, Nancy A. Jones, and Froma I. Zeitlin. Their work raises pressing - and often difficult - questions for feminist criticism.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper). ***A hard to find academic study on the cultural representation of rape. Uncommon in the UK. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. ***Please note that this is quite a heavy book and will incur extra postage - the book weighs in at 1.2kg.
