Through all of my research I have come to know and sympathize with a simple, hard working group of isolated mountain farmers who were trying hard to scrounge out a puny living and were happy for the privilege. Almost as hard as their long hours of toil, they had to deal with the lawlessness that frequently abused them. My intention is to reveal their plight and how they dealt with it.

Excerpt from History of Cape Cod, Vol. 2: The Annals of the Thirteen Towns of Barnstable CountyDr. Johnson, the great lexicographer, has de fined one of his vocation, a writer of diction aries a harmless drudge that busies himself in tracing the original and detailing the significa tion of words: we sympathize with him in the feeling that prompted the self-pitying and self humiliating soliloquy. We do not expect either the present or coming generations to appro hend fully the pains which our undertaking costs. The work accomplished, future explorers will profit by our toils. They will have at least some faint landmarks by which to direct their own course, and possibly may detect some omis sions and supply deficiencies, some errors and correct them; the initiate toil they will happily have avoided, and can, therefore, never know the perplexities that attended it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Secret Agent is set in the seedy world of Adolf Verloc, a storekeeper and double agent in late-Victorian London who pretends to sympathize with a group of international anarchists but reports on their activities to both the Russian embassy and the British government. As he is drawn further into a terrorist bombing plot, his family also becomes involved, with devastating consequences. Based on a real-life failed anarchist plot, The Secret Agent is both intimately engaged with its historical moment and profoundly relevant today. This new Broadview Edition helps to recreate the historical context that informed Conrad’s preoccupations with global terrorism, human degeneration, the relativity of time, and the position of women.

More than 400 years after they were first written, Shakespeare's plays still offer a stunning glimpse into the motivations, desires, and deviancies of man. His characters are caught in situations modern readers can sympathize with, and his themes—love, family relations, adultery, power, treachery—are as relevant now as they were then. Surprisingly, another aspect of the Bard's work that has withstood the test of time is his understanding of the brain. The Bard on the Brain is a marvelous combination of close readings of Shakespeare and the most current neurological research that together demonstrate how impulses and actions originate in the brain.Paul Matthews here shows us the center-stage role of the brain in famous scenes from Shakespeare's plays. With stunning color brain scans and clear English, Matthews demonstrates how uncannily Shakespeare perceived the brain at work in his characters' ideas and deeds, and how the living brain mirrors human experiences created centuries ago by the Bard. Matthews's science is beautifully interwoven with Jeffrey McQuain's interpretations of many of the most significant soliloquies in all of Shakespeare's plays. The Bard on the Brain is also illustrated throughout with performance photos of acclaimed British and American actors—such as Morgan Freeman as Petruchio, Sir Ian McKellen as Prospero, Alfre Woodard as Paulina, and Anthony Hopkins as King Lear—from celebrated Shakespeare companies. The result of this partnership between scientist and scholar is a unique view of Shakespeare's characters, a dissection of his language, and a wonderfully oblique perspective on the human brain.

“Stannard has been the first commentator to make me not only understand but deeply sympathize with the desperate ambivalence in this great novelist between his passionate Christian concern with saving souls (including, of course, his own) and his almost maniacal scorn for the follies and mediocrity of the common man.” ―Louis Auchincloss “Definitive. . . . Deeply researched and pondered.” “A literary biography of the same caliber as Richard Ellmann’s James Joyce.” These words of praise from Edmund Morris in the New York Times and Michael Dirda in the Washington Post are but some of the acclaim that greeted Martin Stannard’s Evelyn Waugh: The Early Years 1903-1939. This eagerly awaited second volume, spanning the years from World War II to Waugh’s death in 1966, completes the portrait of one of the foremost writers of the century. This was the period of some of Waugh’s greatest work, including Brideshead Revisited, The Loved One, and the Sword of Honour trilogy.
