Product Description

By using the 1882 edition of The Portrait of a Lady, the text reflects more clearly the culture from and to which it was written. A significant number of fairly contemporary materials deal with etiquette/behavior, conceptions of the American girl and the American woman, discussions of Americans (especially girls/women) living abroad, and international marriages. Magazine and newspapers articles of the period help to set Isabel Archer in the context of discussions about national character, the American abroad, the American girl/woman, and so forth. The volume includes reprints of contemporary reviews, emphasizing those that found the ending of the novel perplexing.

Chapters: Roy Cohn, Jon Hinson, Jerry Smith, Paul Swift. Source: Wikipedia. Pages: 25. Not illustrated. Free updates online. Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Roy Marcus Cohn (February 20, 1927 August 2, 1986) was an American conservative attorney who became famous during Senator Joseph McCarthy's investigations into KGB and GRU espionage against the United States. Cohn gained special prominence during the Army-McCarthy Hearings. He was also an important member of the U.S. Department of Justice's prosecution team at the espionage trials of Soviet spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Alger Hiss, and William Remington. Born in The Bronx, New York City, Cohn was the only child of Dora Marcus (18921967) and Judge Albert Cohn (18851959), who was influential in Democratic Party politics. He lived in his parents' home until the death of his mother Dora Marcus Cohn in 1967 (his father Albert Cohn died in 1959), after which he lived in New York, the District of Columbia, and Greenwich, Connecticut. After attending Horace Mann School and the Fieldston School, and completing studies at Columbia College in 1946, Cohn graduated from Columbia Law School at the age of 20. He had to wait until his 21st birthday to be admitted to the bar, and used his family connections to obtain a position in the office of United States Attorney Irving Saypol in Manhattan the day he was admitted. Although he was registered as a Democrat, Cohn supported most of the Republican presidents of his time and Republicans in major offices across New York. As Saypol's assistant at the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan, Cohn helped to secure convictions in a number of well-publicized trials of accused Soviet operatives. One of the first involved the prosecution of William Remington, a former Commerce Department employee who had been accused of espionage by ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=320753 ... Read more
