Focuses on a single central problem: the frequently noted similarity between Ford's protagonists, men whose peculiarly alien temperaments and ethics lead them into inevitable conflict with their particular milieu. The main argument of the study is that behind these struggles, traced out through four successive centuries, lies a previously unnoted pattern.

This is the story of a revolution - the factors influencing management's decision to sell, the extent of the sales, procedures followed in the various sales, psychological effects upon the worker, effects upon labour-management relations, the reaction of the union, and the changes in mill village life resulting from the sales.

Hibbard begins by setting court Catholicism in the context of English court alignments on domestic and foreign policy. She then describes public reaction to royal policy and court Catholicism and the use parliamentary leaders made of anti-Catholicism from 1640 to 1642.

Brown (1771-1810) was America's first professional man of letters.

Grabo's work is a radical interpretation of Brown's fiction.

Lowell's continuing productivity and his ever-increasing stature as a poet demand a new evaluation of his work, and Cooper has provided it in this penetrating study.
