Fingerprints of Thomas More's Epigrammata on English Poetry
No full textThomas More’s Latin epigrams, published with the second edition of Utopia in 1518, were apparently widely read both among contemporary European intellectuals and during the subsequent development of English poetry. With a humble audacity that could engage Classical authors in a Christian posture, More cultivated a literary climate that could retain the earthiness of the middle ages in dialogue with the ancients, and is more responsible for the ensuing expansion of vernacular poetry than perhaps any other Henrican author. This thesis probes the Classical influences and Humanist practices at work in the epigrams, explores their contemporary reception on the continent, and traces their legacy among sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English poets
Three American Frontiers: Writings of Thomas D. Clark
Full text linkThe casual and the serious of American history—fiddlers, yarn spinners, and riverboat gamblers, politicians, educators, and social reformers—have all concerned Thomas D. Clark, celebrated historian of the Western frontier and the changing South. Three American Frontiers, a volume of his selected writings, draws from works produced throughout Clark\u27s long career as a writer, teacher, and lecturer on the frontier West, social change in the South, and the cutting-edge of historical research.
An avid researcher and a tenacious collector of original materials, Clark looks to the everyday items like the record book of a country store, the file of a small-town newspaper, or the diary of a young Gold Rusher for aids to the analysis of larger trends in history. Holman Hamilton conveys Clark\u27s unique approach to his material and his enthusiasm for the common man in America\u27s past.
Among the many books by Thomas Clark are The Rampaging Frontier, The Emerging South, and Pills, Petticoats and Plows.
Holman Hamilton was a reporter and columnist with the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette before receiving his Ph.D. in history from the University of Kentucky. He was a Guggenheim Fellow, Fulbright Scholar, and professor of history at the University of Kentucky as well as President of the Kentucky Civil War Round Table and University Fellow. He was the author or editor of many books, including Three Kentucky Presidents and Prologue to Conflict.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/upk_united_states_history/1054/thumbnail.jp
