The Japanese word for influence (eikyo) combines the characters for "shadow" and "echo."

![]() Since epics were typically written about heroic kings and queens (and with pagan gods), Milton originally envisioned his epic to be based on a legendary Saxon or British king like the legend of King Arthur. ![]() Leonard also notes that Milton "did not at first plan to write a biblical epic". However, parts were almost certainly written earlier, and its roots lie in Milton's earliest youth." Leonard speculates that the English Civil War interrupted Milton's earliest attempts to start his "epic that would encompass all space and time". The biographer John Aubrey (1626–1697) tells us that the poem was begun in about 1658 and finished in about 1663. ![]() In his introduction to the Penguin edition of Paradise Lost, the Milton scholar John Leonard notes: "John Milton was nearly sixty when he published Paradise Lost in 1667.

He won because he possessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin demonstrates, was the result of a character that had been forged by experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals. ![]() Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. Winner of the prestigious Lincoln Prize and the inspiration for the Oscar Award winning–film Lincoln, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, directed by Steven Spielberg, and written by Tony Kushner. ![]() One of the most influential books of the past fifty years, Team of Rivals is Pulitzer Prize–winning author and esteemed presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin’s modern classic about the political genius of Abraham Lincoln, his unlikely presidency, and his cabinet of former political foes. ![]() ![]() In 1967, Betty Comden, Adolph Green, and Jules Styne poured their liberal hipness and guilt into “Hallelujah, Baby!,” which tells the story of Georgina (played, in the original production, by Leslie Uggams, who won a Tony for her performance). Diahann Carroll gave it her all as Barbara Woodruff, a model whose race was not a plot point, in Richard Rodgers’s 1962 piece, “No Strings.” But that show was unusual, and remains so. Still, some politically committed theatre artists have fought to bring different kinds of stories to the musical form, and to liberate black female stars from the bondage of playing “black,” rather than embodying a complete character. ![]() American musicals are, for the most part, about boys, or boyish pursuits and aspirations-the fantasy of freedom and resolve-and those dreams have little to do with the reality of most black women’s lives. Although the civil-rights movement did a lot to change how black life was dramatized on the American stage in the fifties and sixties, white composers and lyricists often still rely on familiar tropes when it comes to representing black women in musicals. ![]() ![]() ![]() We moved to Chicago because I was hired to teach at the university in Evanston, which is within walking distance of Rogers Park. Women push baby carriages here, little boys eat bags of potato chips in front of the markets, and men smoke outside the train station while the trains rattle the air. There is an open Jamaican restaurant, a Caribbean-American bakery, a liquor store, a shoe store, and several little grocery markets. ![]() There are a dozen empty storefronts on the avenue between the lake and the train station – a closed Chinese restaurant, a closed dry cleaners, a closed thrift shop, a closed hot-dog place. Seven blocks to the east of the train station is the shore of Lake Michigan, which rolls and crashes past the horizon, reminding us, with its winds and spray, that we are on the edge of something vast. The Chicago trains end here, and the tracks turn back in a giant loop around the gravel yard, where idle trains are docked. This neighbourhood is now called Rogers Park, and the city blocks of Chicago, all paved and lit, run directly into the city blocks of Evanston, with only a cemetery to mark the boundary between the two municipalities. At the turn of the century, this was the sparsely populated place between the cities of Chicago and Evanston, a place where the streets were unpaved and unlit. S hortly after we married, my husband and I moved to a part of Chicago that was once known as No Man’s Land. ![]() ![]() Yet as time goes on, Anastasia learns that even the people she hates maybe aren’t that bad after all, and comes up with a much nicer name for her baby brother when he is finally born. ![]() ![]() So when Anastasia’s mother says she can name the baby, she conjures up the most horrible name she can think of – One-Ball Reilly – and writes it down in a secret part of her diary. Yet when Anastasia’s parents announce that she’s going to have a new baby brother, Anastasia has to make some changes, and it’s hard when you’ve been an only child for ten years. Life is good, unless you count the fact that she hates Mr Belden in the Chemist’s, all boys and her teacher, Mrs Westvessel, who gave her an F for her (actually very good) poem. Ten-year-old Anastasia Krupnik lives with her father, a poetry professor, and her mother, an artist, in Greenwich Village. ![]() ![]() It’s a very strange story but in a good way which makes it stand out over so many other books. Despite being a little difficult to read at times the overall plot was very interesting to read. It almost seems as if Stephen King got carried away with his writing and tried his hardest to drag it on for as long as he could. There’s constant senseless rants that add nothing to the story and if anything just make it less enjoyable. One issue with this book was that it takes patience to read.
