Melnick elaborates this idea through an in-depth look at jewish songwriters, composers, and perfomers who made "black" music in the first few decades of this century remarkably flexible, this narrative can organize diffuse materials into a coherent story that has a powerful hold on our imaginationhe shows how jews such as george gershwin, irving berlin, al jolson, and others were able to portray their "natural" affinity for producing "black" music as a product of their jewishness while simultaneously depicting jewishness as a stable white identitysee oxfam website for delivery information read moremoving beyond the narrow focus of advocacy group politics, this book complicates and enriches our understanding of the cultural terrain shared by african americans and jewsa volley of discussion follows, but little in the way of progress or enlightenment results--and this is how things will remain until we radically revise the way we think about the complex interactions between african americans and jews"black-jewish relations," jeffrey melnick argues, has mostly been a way for american jews to talk about their ambivalent racial status, a narrative collectively constructed at critical moments, when particular conflicts demand an explanationoxfam shop dumfries all too often an incident or accident, such as the eruption in crown heights with its legacy of bitterness and recrimination, thrusts black-jewish relations into the news"a right to sing the blues" offers just such a revisionmelnick also contends that this cultural activity competed directly with harlem renaissance attempts to define blackness

But don't be fooled: this is an extremely practical book, which is why it remained in print for so many decadesthis may be an unfair observation, but there can surely be few modern manuals on agricultural matters that quote both milton and confucius within the first few pagesthis is how one online source describes it: "the interest of the book to present-day readers lies not so much in the detailed methods adopted by elliot in the field, but rather in light shed on the agricultural problems of the closing years of the nineteenth century and the picture it gives of a man of highly independent mind striving to influence his fellow farmers with rather less than no support from official sourcesforeword by sir rmaroon cloth boardsbeside a photographic illustration (plate 1) of 'the seeds used in laying down land to grass on the clifton park system'Â one comes across a wonderfully poetic list of grasses'effect of turnips on'Â etcthe clifton park system of farming, by robert hfold-out map in rearbrett'Â purchased it in foyles ingeorge stapledonoriginal dust-jacket (badly torn but still intact)" see oxfam website for delivery information read morethe pasture would be turned under after four to eight years, row crops grown until the humus levels declined to a threatening level, and then the field would be restored to grass/clover/herbal mixtureswho can resist names such as 'italian ryegrass', 'tufted hair grass'Â 'mountain hair grass', or 'yorkshire fog'? or, after turning to the index, these names of fields (all from clifton park): 'alghope', 'bowmont side', 'hayhope shank', 'longshot'Â and 'stackyard'? or this entry: 'sheep, death from swallowing grit'Â ? anyone who has a deep and abiding love of our northern borderlands (still largely devoted to sheep-farming) will want to read this insightful and informative little book about tried and tested methods of farming, both traditional and modern, in the hill country of roxburghshire" it may be worth noting that regenerative farming of the kind recommended in these pages is currently making a comebackbetween pages 52 and 53 he left interleaved an advertisement for 'stabilarsan veterinary for the treatment of blackhead in turkeys'Â (this is an example of the sort of casual ephemera that sets my own pulses racing): which suggests he was a proper farmer himself, and not just someone who approved of literary allusionsthis volume's owner, one 'japparently "elliot developed a system of laying down land to grass, dependent on little input except a complex mixture of deep-rooting pasture seedspoor jacket, book in good conditionindeed the board of agriculture and the newly formed agricultural colleges were supporting the 'fertilizer and feeding stuff'Â approach to farming, which in elliot's view would be largely unnecessary under a rational system of grassland management

The primary concern of this book is with the english theory of poetry, and to a lesser extent of the other major arts, during the first four decades of the nineteenth centuryit stresses the common orientation which justifies us in identifying a specifically 'romantic' criticism; but not, i trust, at the cost of overlooking the many important diversities among the writers who concern themselves with the nature of poetry or art, its psychological genesis, its constitution and kinds, its major criteria, and its relation to other original and enduring critics of the time, rather than with the run-of-the-mill reviewers who often had more immediate, though shorter-lived influence on the general reading publicthere were many important differences between, let us say, horace's art of poetry and the criticism of drthis continuity was broken by the theories or romantic writers, english and german; and their innovations include many of the points of view and procedures which make the characteristic differences between traditional criticism and the criticism of our own time, including some criticism which professes to be anti-romanticsee oxfam website for delivery information read moreoxfam bookshop byres road the development of literary theory in the lifetime of coleridge was to a surprising extent the making of the modern critical mindjohnston, but there was also a discernible continuity in premises, aims and methods
