  • Bloodstream: Poems
    Bloodstream: Poems
    By author: Sarah Carey
    Sarah Carey's second full-length poetry collection traces the arterial pathways of the poet's past, mapping the vital currents that pulse between memory, perception, and identity. Anchored in place yet mindful of time's fluidity, the poems in BLOODSTREAM traverse Carey's Southern roots in Florida and North Carolina, moving through Alaska and beyond as the poet cycles between past and present, faith and doubt, while exploring the power of language to illuminate such contrasts.
  • The World
    The World
    Edited and translated by: Jarrett A. Carty
    THE WORLD was one of the most ambitious treatises that René Descartes ever undertook; it was also brilliantly original, influential, and controversial. This new translation restores the text as a key part of Descartes's legacy. It includes a helpful introduction, a summary of the translated text, a chronology, a recommended bibliography, and two translated excerpts of the sister treatise to THE WORLD, the TREATISE ON MAN.
  • Shakespeare’s Dramatic States: Ambition, Interpretation, and the Public Good
    Shakespeare’s Dramatic States: Ambition, Interpretation, and the Public Good
    Edited by: Charlotte C.S. Thomas
    In his 1771 letter to Robert Skipwith, Thomas Jefferson wrote, "a lively and lasting sense of filial duty is more effectually impressed on the mind of a son or daughter by reading King Lear than by all the dry volumes of ethics and divinity that ever were written." It is in this spirit that the Thomas C. and Romona E. McDonald Center at Mercer University collected these twelve essays based on papers presented at the 2024 A.V. Elliott Conference on Great Books and Ideas, the theme of which was Shakespeare's Politics.
  • Sinclair Lewis: The 1920s and the Shaping of American Identity
    Sinclair Lewis: The 1920s and the Shaping of American Identity
    By author: Edward Gale Agran
    SINCLAIR LEWIS: THE 1920s AND THE SHAPING OF AMERICAN IDENTITY argues the importance of words, ideas, and values in sculpting twentieth-century identity. Here, Agran encourages literary scholars and all students of American culture to recognize that Lewis's reception in the twenties was formidable because of his sensitivity to the nation's history, its promise, and at points its troubling trajectory.

    Elizabeth Oakes Smith: Selected Writings, Volume III: From Novels and Drama, 1842-1888
    Edited by: Timothy H. Scherman
    The third volume of ELIZABETH OAKES SMITH: SELECTED WRITINGS offers readers selections from several of her longer works written between 1842 and the late 1880s: THE WESTERN CAPTIVE (1842), one of the first "paperback" novels sold in the United States; BERTHA AND LILY (1854), a novel featuring one of the first "fallen" heroines in the sentimental tradition; THE NEWSBOY, Oakes Smith's second novel of 1854 and her deepest foray into the lives of the working poor; “The Queen of Tramps” (1874-1888), a complete novel left in manuscript at the time of her death; and OLD NEW YORK (1853), a historical melodrama bringing a female lead character to the center of late-seventeenth century colonial rebellion in New York City.
