Mulder, in a nine-page 1973 letter to Seventeenth-Century News, addresses both design and methodology in Herbert's Temple, and includes a glance at "Love" (III). A review of some of the commentaries is instructive. However, about forty years ago this approach through literary history began to give way to an approach through literary interpretation specifically by an analysis of the imagery of the poem as physical – indeed as sexual. Hutchinson would offer as a commentary on "Love" (III) a simple comparison with a very similar passage in Southwell's Saint Peter's Complaint, without any argument pro or con with regard to the possibility that it was Herbert's source.

If you are paranoid or believe that the current state of the world is causing you personal anguish, if the word asteroid causes palpitations, do not read further. Warning, the remainder of this text becomes progressively disturbing. I was always struck by Asimov’s ideas on psychohistory (see Further Information below), which are relevant to my What is History Series and the Mule, but that is for another day. Having enjoyed I, Robot, I need to get around to re-reading the Foundation Trilogy. I first read I, Robot and Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy when I began university a long time ago, but also a considerable time after they were first published. I, Robot is quite sufficient to gain an understanding of Asimov’s approach to and ideas on robots. I would only recommend these novels and the additional robot stories beyond those in I, Robot to an Asimov scholar. I must grudgingly admit though that it contained some interesting ideas about robots and humans. The Robots of Dawn I found to be incredibly tedious and lacking in action. ![]() I, Robot is not really a novel but a collection of previously published stories with linking text, by a fictional researcher cum writer. ![]() ![]() ![]() She contacted young women she knew, asking if they were coping with the same shame-induced issues she was.

Purity rings, purity pledges, and purity balls came with a dangerous message: girls are potential sexual "stumbling blocks" for boys and men, and any expression of a girl's sexuality could reflect the corruption of her character. ![]() In the 1990s, a "purity industry" emerged out of the white evangelical Christian culture. In Pure, Linda Kay Klein uses a potent combination of journalism, cultural commentary, and memoir to take us "inside religious purity culture as only one who grew up in it can" (Gloria Steinem) and reveals the devastating effects evangelical Christianity's views on female sexuality has had on a generation of young women. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The next script he wrote was sold to 20th Century Fox.

The Secret Adversary (1922) and the short stories eventually collected in the slender volume Partners in Crime (1929) count among Agatha Christie‘s earliest publications early enough to have promised their quirky protagonists, Tommy and “Tuppence” (Prudence) Beresford as long and eventful a fictional career as that of their colleague Hercule Poirot, who had debuted two years prior to them with his own first case in The Mysterious Affair at Styles. ![]() An Enjoyable Romp Through the Swinging 1920s’ London ![]() ![]() The God who makes us live in this world without using God as a working hypothesis is the god before whom we are standing. ![]() The God who is with us is the God who forsakes us.

How did it happen? Tapping into newly accessible diplomatic archives in several nations and making full use of the published literature, distinguished scholar Fredrik Logevall traces the path that led two Western nations to lose their way in Vietnam. For France, the defeat marked the effective end of her colonial empire, while for America the war left a gaping wound in the body politic that remains open to this day.
