Late Night with Trump Political Humor and the American Presidency

Late Night with Trump Political Humor and the American Presidency

Political humor has been a staple of late-night television for decades. The Trump White House however has received significantly greater attention than that of past presidents such as Barack Obama George W. Bush and even Bill Clinton. In response to Trump’s strident politics late-night comics including Stephen Colbert Jimmy Kimmel Trevor Noah and Jimmy Fallon have sounded key policy notes further blurring the boundary between news and satire. Weekly humorists including John Oliver and Samantha Bee extend the critique with in-depth probing of key issues while Saturday Night Live continues to tap the progression from outrage to outrageousness. Using unique content analysis techniques and qualitative discussions of political humor Farnsworth and Lichter show how late-night political humor and these seven programs in particular have responded to the Trump presidency. Employing a dataset of more than 100 000 late night jokes going back decades these noted media scholars discuss how the treatment of Trump differs from previous presidents and how the Trump era is likely to shape the future of political humor. The authors also employ public opinion survey data to consider the growing role these late-night programs play in framing public opinion and priorities. This book will interest scholars the curious public and students of politics communications and the media and contemporary American culture. | Late Night with Trump Political Humor and the American Presidency

The Conquest of Santarém and Goswin’s Song of the Conquest of Alcácer do Sal Editions and Translations of De expugnatione Scalabis and Gosui

The Conquest of Santarém and Goswin’s Song of the Conquest of Alcácer do Sal Editions and Translations of De expugnatione Scalabis and Gosui

Achieved at the height of the Crusades the Christian conquests of Santarém in 1147 by King Afonso I and of Alcácer do Sal in 1217 by Portuguese forces and northern European warriors on their way by sea to Palestine were crucial events in the creation of the independent kingdom of Portugal. The two texts presented here survive in their unique thirteenth-century manuscript copies appended to a codex belonging to one of Europe’s most important monastic library collections accumulated in the Cistercian abbey of Alcobaça founded c. 1153 by Bernard of Clairvaux. Accompanied by comprehensive introductions and here translated into English for the first time these extraordinary texts are based on eyewitness testimony of the conquests. They contain much detail for the military historian including data on operational tactics and the ideology of Christian holy war in the twelfth and early thirteenth centuries. Literary historians too will be delighted by the astonishing styles deployed demonstrating considerable authorial flamboyance flair and innovation. While they are likely written by Goswin of Bossut the search for authorship yields an impressive array of literary friends and associates including James of Vitry Thomas of Cantimpré Oliver of Paderborn and Caesarius of Heisterbach. | The Conquest of Santarém and Goswin’s Song of the Conquest of Alcácer do Sal Editions and Translations of De expugnatione Scalabis and Gosui

Edward Lloyd and His World Popular Fiction Politics and the Press in Victorian Britain

Edward Lloyd and His World Popular Fiction Politics and the Press in Victorian Britain

The publisher Edward Lloyd (1815-1890) helped shape Victorian popular culture in ways that have left a legacy that lasts right up to today. He was a major pioneer of both popular fiction and journalism but has never received extended scholarly investigation until now. Lloyd shaped the modern popular press: Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper became the first paper to sell over a million copies. Along with publishing songs and broadsides Lloyd dominated the fiction market in the early Victorian period issuing Gothic stories such as Varney the Vampire (1845-7) and other 'penny dreadfuls' which became bestsellers. Lloyd's publications introduced the enduring figure of Sweeney Todd whilst his authors penned plagiarisms of Dickens's novels such as Oliver Twiss (1838-9). Many readers in the early Victorian period may have been as likely to have encountered the author of Pickwick in a Lloyd-published plagiarism as in the pages of the original author. This book makes us rethink the early reception of Dickens. In this interdisciplinary collection leading scholars explore the world of Edward Lloyd and his stable of writers such as Thomas Peckett Prest and James Malcolm Rymer. The Lloyd brand shaped popular taste in the age of Dickens and the Chartists. Edward Lloyd and his World fills a major gap in the histories of popular fiction and journalism whilst developing links with Victorian politics theatre and music. | Edward Lloyd and His World Popular Fiction Politics and the Press in Victorian Britain

The Economic Thought of William Petty Exploring the Colonialist Roots of Economics

The Economic Thought of William Petty Exploring the Colonialist Roots of Economics

William Petty (1623-1687) long recognised as a founding father of English political economy was actively involved in the military-colonial administration of Ireland following its invasion by Oliver Cromwell and to the end of his days continued to devise schemes for securing England’s continued domination of that country. It was in that context that he elaborated his economic ideas which consequently reflect the world of military-bureaucratic officialdom neo-feudalism and colonialism he served. This book shows that much of the theory and methodology in use within the economics discipline of today has its roots in the writings of Petty and his contemporaries rather than in the supposedly universalistic and enlightened ideals of Adam Smith a century later. Many of the fundamental ideas of today’s development economics for example are shown to have been deployed by Petty explicitly for the purpose of furthering England’s colonialist objectives while his pioneering writings on fiscal issues and national accounting theory were equally explicitly directed towards the raising of funds for England’s predatory colonial and commercial wars. This book argues that exploring the historical roots of economic ideas and methods in this way is an essential aspect of assessing their appropriateness and analytical power today and that this is more relevant than ever. It will be of interest to advanced students and researchers in the history of economic thought early modern economic history development economics and economic geography. | The Economic Thought of William Petty Exploring the Colonialist Roots of Economics
