Excerpt from Songs of Democracy: And on Other Themes She knows that the sleeper will wake, She knows that Her hour will come. With axe and the cord and the prison, With guns in the shuddering square, With these they shall quell thee, uprisen; They shall hale thee again by the hair. With wailing, with hands hard clenched, Thou shalt see thy sons laid low, With blood shall thy streets be drenched, Thy heart shall near break with its woe.

For the Western world as a whole, the period from about 1760 to 1800 was the great revolutionary era in which the outlines of the modern democratic state came into being. It is the thesis of this major work that the American, French, and Polish revolutions, and the movements for political change in Britain, Ireland, Holland, Belgium, Switzerland, Sweden, and other countries, although each distinctive in its way, were all manifestations of recognizably similar political ideas, needs, and conflicts. Volume 1 of this distinguished two-volume work, "The Challenge," received critical accolades throughout the world. It was the winner of the Bancroft Prize in 1960 and was called "one of the classic works of American historical scholarship" (Key Reporter) and a book which "will enlarge and clarify our understanding of modern Western history. It will re-emphasize the strength and vitality of the roots that supported the growth of democracy in the Old and New Worlds" (New York Times). "Occasionally a historical work appears which, by synthesis of much previous specialized work and by intelligent reflection upon the whole, makes events of the past click into a new pattern and assume fresh meaning. Professor Palmer's book is such a work" (American Historical Review). "The Challenge" took the story to the eve of the French Revolutionary wars; Volume 2, "The Struggle" continues the account to 1800.

Excerpt from Songs of the Morning, Vol. 1 of 2: Original and Selected Many of those who have consciously rejected the dogmas of old superstition are yet in the acute stage of the outer intellect's strife for liberty to unfold reason's commencing life. Perceiving how effective a use ecclesiastical institutions and pow ers make Of singing to enslave the emotions to superstition, they half-suppose that music and emotion united must be a foe to intellectual free dom, and thus they leave this powerful means of Nature's grace to work against them, while they are chilled and benumbed for want Of it.

Executing Democracy: Capital Punishment & the Making of America, 1683-1807 is the first volume of a rhetorical history of public debates about crime, violence, and capital punishment in America. This examination begins in 1683, when William Penn first struggled to govern the rowdy indentured servants of Philadelphia, and continues up until 1807, when the Federalists sought to impose law-and-order upon the New Republic. This volume offers a lively historical overview of how crime, violence, and capital punishment influenced the settling of the New World, the American Revolution, and the frantic post-war political scrambling to establish norms that would govern the new republic. By presenting a macro-historical overview, and by filling the arguments with voices from different political camps and communicative genres, Hartnett provides readers with fresh perspectives for understanding the centrality of public debates about capital punishment to the history of American democracy.

Yale Classics (Vol. 1) marks an unprecedented assemblage of the luminaries of Ancient Greek literature, philosophy, and historiography, presenting a rich tapestry of the intellectual and creative brilliance that has shaped not only Western literature but also the very foundation of Western thought. This collection spans a breathtaking range of genresfrom the philosophical dialogues of Plato and Aristotle to the epic poetry of Homer, the tragic dramas of Sophocles and Euripides, and the historical narratives of Herodotus and Thucydides. Each work is a testament to the diversity and depth of ancient Greek literary and philosophical tradition, offering readers a glimpse into the myriad ways the ancients grappled with themes of power, morality, fate, and virtue. Noteworthy are the poetic fragments of Sappho and Anacreon, which provide a rare insight into the lyrical expressions of personal emotion, influencing countless generations thereafter. The contributing authors and editors, revered not only for their foundational roles in literature and philosophy but also for their profound impact on the development of Western cultural and intellectual history, emerge from varied backgrounds but share a common heritage of profound insight into the complexity of the human condition and the world. Their collective works represent the confluence of literary genius and philosophical inquiry that defines the Classical era, engaging with themes of heroism, governance, ethics, and aesthetics. This anthology aligns with and celebrates significant historical and cultural movements, encapsulating the essence of the Classical period in a way that no single author could. Culminating in an invitation to modern readers, Yale Classics (Vol. 1) offers an unparalleled opportunity to engage with the seminal works that have not only laid the groundwork for Western thought but continue to challenge and inspire. It beckons to those eager to explore the roots of contemporary culture, ethics, and politics through the lens of ancient wisdom. As such, this volume is an indispensable resource for students, scholars, and anyone with an interest in the endurance of classical themes in modern times, providing a unique dialogue between epochs and glittering testimony to the enduring legacy of Ancient Greek civilization.
