Righteous Gentiles
Sean Durbin’s Righteous Gentiles is an interesting attempt to apply anthropological and other theoretical models to the study of Christian Zionism. It reminds me, though, of something the sociologist Christian Smith said about survey evidence: thinking you can learn about evangelicals and politics from surveys is like flying over Manhattan in a Lear jet and believing you know New York City. Durbin doesn’t cite survey evidence in this book. But he…

Anton Kaes. Shell Shock Cinema
This book has a special place among the spate of recent works dealing with the legacies of the cataclysmic war that began 100 years ago. Distinguished German studies scholar and film specialist Anton Kaes offers a bold and complex reinterpretation of Weimar cinema and, at the same time, the culture of historical memory. He impressively moves from detailed analyses of film sequences to the contexts of their production and reception, and finally to…

Evangelicals and Israel
Most observers attribute evangelical Christians’ bedrock support for Israel to the apocalyptic belief that the Jews must return to Israel as a precondition for Christ’s Second Coming. But the actual reasons, this book argues, are far more complicated. In Evangelicals and Israel, the book delves deeply into the Christian Zionist movement, mining information from original interviews, websites, evangelical publications, survey research, news reports…
Operation Solomon
was one of the most remarkable rescue efforts in modern history, in which more than 14,000 Ethiopian Jews were airlifted to Israel in little more than a day. Now, in this riveting volume, Stephen Spector offers the definitive account of this incredible story, based on over 200 interviews and exclusive access to confidential documents. Written with the pace and immediacy of a novel, here is the dramatic story of the rescue of the dark-skinned Jews…

Flight of Fancy
Critical interpretation of characters in Thomas Hardy's Under Greenwood Tree has endeavored to connect them to a located outside text, usually in social history, as rural types, or in Hardy's biography, as individuals author knew personally or through reminiscence or records. The evocative power of this minor masterpiece comes from its being a recreation of Hardy's childhood environment, of people and surroundings where he spent most impressionab…
Monsters of Metonymy
Dickens bestows hardly a single spark of his vitalizing genius upon Stephen Blackpool and Rachael, Hard Times's thwarted working-class lovers. Like Victor Frankenstein's creation, a monstrous assemblage with limbs and features ironically chosen for their beauty, Stephen and Rachael are automatons compounded of such Victorian middle-class virtues as industry, honesty, selfdenial, chastity, and deference. Where Frankenstein's unattractive child ent…

Wordsworth's Mirror Imagery and the Picturesque Tradition
Though in some important ways Wordsworth is the most typical English Romantic poet, the more noticeable kinds of Romantic mirrors-the Narcissistic mirror of the demonic quest-romance, the mocking mirror-double of the tale of the divided self, the dark, cracked mirror of psychological disintegration'--are conspicuously absent from his poetry, except for his youthful Gothic play, The Borderers. Nevertheless, aside from Shelley, mirror imagery plays…
The Dummy in Critical Discourse
minimum a narrator who has read a text and a narrataire,1 generally a group of readers, who has read the same text. The narrator reveals something in the text he has seen or discovered that he assumes the narrataire has not seen. If the critic supposed that the others saw what he saw he would have no reason to point it out to them. Of course the critic cannot be sure what all the others see, so the general strategy of criticism is to construct a …
