Free Spirits : Spiritualism, Republicanism, and Radicalism in the Civil War Era
2016
Often dismissed as a nineteenth-century curiosity, spiritualism influenced the radical social and political movements of its time. Believers filled the ranks of the Free Democrats, agitated for land and monetary reform, fought for abolition, and held egalitarian leanings that found powerful expression in campaigns for gender and racial equality. In Free Spirits, Mark A. Lause considers spiritualism as a political and cultural force in Civil War-era America. Lause reveals the scope, spread, and influence of the movement, both in its links to reformist causes and its ability to amplify previously marginalized voices. Rooting spiritualism's appeal in the crises of the time, Lause considers how spiritualist influences, through the distillation of the war, forced reassessments of the question of Radical Republicanism and radicalism in general. He also delves into unexplored areas such as the movement's role in Lincoln's reelection and the relationship between Native Americans and spiritualists.

Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 1 : The Complete and Authoritative Edition
2010
'I've struck it!'Mark Twain wrote in a 1904 letter to a friend.'And I will give it away—to you. You will never know how much enjoyment you have lost until you get to dictating your autobiography.'Thus, after dozens of false starts and hundreds of pages, Twain embarked on his'Final (and Right) Plan'for telling the story of his life. His innovative notion—to'talk only about the thing which interests you for the moment'—meant that his thoughts could range freely. The strict instruction that many of these texts remain unpublished for 100 years meant that when they came out, he would be'dead, and unaware, and indifferent,'and that he was therefore free to speak his'whole frank mind.'The year 2010 marks the 100th anniversary of Twain's death. In celebration of this important milestone and in honor of the cherished tradition of publishing Mark Twain's works, UC Press is proud to offer for the first time Mark Twain's uncensored autobiography in its entirety and exactly as he left it. This major literary event brings to readers, admirers, and scholars the first of three volumes and presents Mark Twain's authentic and unsuppressed voice, brimming with humor, ideas, and opinions, and speaking clearly from the grave as he intended.

The Encyclopedia of Christian Literature
2010; Vol. 00002
The written word is one of the defining elements of Christian experience. As vigorous in the 1st century as it is in the 21st, Christian literature has had a significant function in history, and teachers and students need to be reminded of this powerful literary legacy. Covering 2,000 years, The Encyclopedia of Christian Literature is the first encyclopedia devoted to Christian writers and books. In addition to an overview of the Christian literature, this two-volume set also includes 40 essays on the principal genres of Christian literature and more than 400 bio-bibliographical essays describing the principal writers and their works. These essays examine the evolution of Christian thought as reflected in the literature of every age.The companion volume also features bibliographies, an index, a timeline of Christian Literature, and a list of the greatest Christian authors. The encyclopedia will appeal not only to scholars and Christian evangelicals, but students and teachers in seminaries and theological schools, as well as to the growing body of Christian readers and bibliophiles.

The Old Atheism Revisited: Robert G. Ingersoll and the Bible.
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833 –1899 ) was the most public opponent of Christianity in nineteenth-century America. Raised in a family and era marked by evangelical fervor, by early adulthood he had distanced himself from this heritage. This article examines Ingersoll ’s major arguments against what he saw as the source of everything wrong with the Christian religion—the Bible. Moreover, it considers the similarities between his proposed alternatives to traditional belief and the biblical religion he rejected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Civic Wars : Democracy and Public Life in the American City During the Nineteenth Century
1997
Mary P. Ryan traces the fate of public life and the emergence of ethnic, class, and gender conflict in the nineteenth-century city in this ambitious retelling of a key period of American political and social history. Basing her analysis on three quite different cities—New York, New Orleans, and San Francisco—Ryan illustrates how city spaces were used, understood, and fought over by a dazzling variety of social groups and political forces. She finds that the democratic exuberance America enjoyed in the 1820s and 1840s was irrevocably damaged by the Civil War. Civic life rebounded after the War but was, in Ryan's words,'less public, less democratic, and more visibly scarred by racial bigotry.'Ryan's analysis is played out on three different levels—the spatial, the ceremonial, and the political. As she follows the decline of informal democracy from the age of Jackson to the heyday of industrial capitalism, she finds the roots of America's resilient democratic culture in the vigorous, often belligerent urban conflicts that found expression in the social movements, riots, celebrations, and other events that punctuated daily life in these urban centers. With its insightful comparisons, meticulous research, and graceful narrative, this study illustrates the ways in which American cities of the nineteenth century were as full of cultural differences and as fractured by social and economic changes as any metropolis today.
