![]() ![]() ![]() Foner outlines the variation in Southern attitudes and economic status by region and class, pointing out that many yeomen outside the plantation regions had opposed secession and been burdened with much of the Southern war expense due to unfair tax policy-they could possibly be enticed into a postwar coalition with blacks as the earliest efforts sought to replace planter hegemony. ![]() The information in the first half is important, just hard to get through. Just as bad, it abandoned black southerners to violence and poverty, and betrayed the Union dead by allowing antebellum leaders and policies to return. It turned the party from the champion of abolition, free labor rights, and government as catalyst of development to the enforcer for Gilded Age magnates and advocate of small government. But the second half focuses on how racism, postwar economic events, and evolving concepts of the appropriate scope of government ended up reversing both the gains of Reconstruction in the South and the identity of the national Republican Party. The first half is a dry and dense recital of the change in federal laws and early state constitutions that commenced Reconstruction. ![]() ![]() As her tales develop, however, these people become involved in events and perceptions that strike the reader as quite extraordinary-as exaggerated or heightened in ways that may seem deluded or mystical, grotesque or magical, comic or tragic, or some strange mixture of these. ![]() Erdrich’s stories generally begin with a realistic base of ordinary people, settings, and actions. ![]() Erdrich’s fiction further resembles Faulkner’s in that the experience of her characters includes a broad spectrum of experience “from the mundane to the miraculous,” as one critic put it. Like Faulkner, Erdrich created a gallery of diverse characters spanning several generations, using multiple points of view and shifting time frames. The ways in which Erdrich brought this region to literary life have been favorably compared by critics to the methods and style of William Faulkner, who created the mythical Yoknapatawpha County out of his rich sense of rural Mississippi. In a 1985 essay titled “ Where I Ought to Be: A Writer’s Sense of Place,” Louise Erdrich (7 June 1954-) states that the essence of her writing emerges from her attachment to her North Dakota locale. ![]() ![]() Drizzt is the primary hero, but to be perfectly honest, I found his character arc the weakest in the book. The story features many interesting characters: the insidious matron Malice, the vengeful Alton Devir, the noble Zaknafein. By the end of the book, you will have a good feel for what the drow are all about, and likely be hungry for more of their plots and intrigue. Salvatore assumes that the reader is unfamiliar with his setting, and he exposes the reader to the atrocities committed in the name of drow culture through the eyes of the naive and innocent Drizzt. If you've never read a book about the drow, you'll quickly find that there's a lot to learn here. Homeland describes the City of Menzoberranzan, home of the drow, and the struggles for power that take place there. ![]() While it's not the first appearance of Drizzt, it's the place for new readers to start, because here you'll learn of both his origins and his background. Homeland is the first book of the Dark Elf Trilogy and the (truly massive) Legend of Drizzt Saga. ![]() Players will name their characters in an homage to Drizzt, just as they might with Legolas or Gandalf. ![]() He's so popular that within the circles of roleplaying gamers, both tabletop and computer, it's a common joke that every drow is a two-sword wielding goodie goodie, despite their race's fierce reputation. ![]() Drizzt is, by far, the most iconic drow character in fantasy literature. ![]() ![]() Ya da çok uzaklardan birinin seslendiğini duydun.

When Shakespeare wrote, there were many stories about sons avenging the murder of their fathers, and many about clever avenging sons pretending to be foolish in order to outsmart their foes. The editors of the Arden Shakespeare question the idea of "source hunting", pointing out that it presupposes that authors always require ideas from other works for their own, and suggests that no author can have an original idea or be an originator. ![]() There are many works that have been pointed to as possible sources for Shakespeare's play-from ancient Greek tragedies to Elizabethan plays. Hamlet is considered among the "most powerful and influential tragedies in the English language", with a story capable of "seemingly endless retelling and adaptation by others". ![]() ![]() Set in Denmark, the play depicts Prince Hamlet and his attempts to exact revenge against his uncle, Claudius, who has murdered Hamlet's father in order to seize his throne and marry Hamlet's mother. ![]() It is Shakespeare's longest play, with 29,551 words.
