Readers of bell hooks’s fiery and eloquent attacks on racism and sexism might be surprised to see her take on the elusive subject of love, but in her own unique way, hooks beautifully weaves her childhood search for that emotion with society’s misuse (and dire need) of it. All About Love takes apart the sentimental and often fleeting aspects of romance, stuck in the muddled urges of sex, and details the problems that arise from the confusion between the two. What hooks does best is reveal that the true force of love lies in its spiritual, redemptive power, which can impact positive

A major contribution to the debate about English identity that locates the roots of Englishness in the cultural imagination.What does it mean to be English?For centuries, Englishness was synonymous with Britishness, informed first by the political dominance of the English monarchs over the British isles -- reaching its apogee in the rule of Elizabeth I -- and later by the island’s imperial might and expansion. But alongside that tradition, reaching back to medieval times, there has also been a vision of England as the rural arcadia celebrated by painters and poets. While the mythology of

Here the careful transcriptions of the seminar notes are combined with color reproductions of the visions
