"For many centuries, the world of Islam was in the forefront of human achievement - the foremost military and economic power in the world, the leader in the arts and sciences of civilization. Christian Europe, a remote land beyond its northwestern frontier, was seen as an outer darkness of barbarism and unbelief from which there was nothing to learn or to fear. And then everything changed, as the previously despised West won victory after victory, first on the battlefield and in the marketplace, then in almost every aspect of public and even private life." "In this volume, Bernard Lewis examines the anguished reaction of the Islamic world as it tried to understand why things had changed, how they had been overtaken, overshadowed, and to an increasing extent dominated by the West. Lewis provides a fascinating portrait of a culture in turmoil. He shows how the Middle East turned its attention to understanding European weaponry and military tactics, commerce and industry, government and diplomacy, education and culture. He describes how some Middle Easterners fastened blame on a series of scapegoats, both external and internal, while others asked, not "who did this to us?" but rather "where did we go wrong?" and, as a natural consequence, "how do we put it right?" Lewis highlights the striking differences between the Western and Middle Eastern cultures from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries with thought-provoking comparisons of such things as Christianity and Islam, music and the arts, the position of women, secularism and the civil society, the clock and the calendar."--BOOK JACKET

F.R. Leavis : a literary biography by
G Singh(
Book
)
2 editions published in 1995 in English and held by 168 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"F.R. Leavis (1895-1978), English literary critic, educationalist and thinker, possessed one of the most formidable, incisive and challenging minds of his age. His influence on the critical tradition has been enormous: in works such as New Bearings on English Poetry, Culture and Environment, The Great Tradition and The Common Pursuit, along with the quarterly journal Scrutiny, which he founded and edited, he fought against literary dilettantism and set new standards for criticism." "Leavis was no stranger to controversy: although he had no personal animus against those whose work he analysed, the forthrightness of his approach could not help but stir up debate, often heated, This occurred most famously in his criticism of C.P. Snow's 'Two Cultures', which sparked a controversy that had nationwide repercussions and even reached Europe and the USA." "For Leavis, literature was a criticism of life - the most effective way of training intelligence and sensibility - and he emphasised literature as a discipline of thought, as a vitalising force. Behind his authoritative critiques lie both a preoccupation with artistic values and a moral concern of the most profound and complex kind. His writings amount to a reinterpretation not only of English literature, but of the criteria and ethos implicit in the business of literary criticism itself."--Jacket

Miss Marjoribanks by
Oliphant(
Book
)
5 editions published in 1969 in English and held by 15 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Lucilla Marjoribanks is determined to look after her widowed father and become 'the sunshine of his life' whether he likes it or not. Once installed back at home and presiding over her father's drawing room, she launches herself into Carlingford society, aiming to raise the tone with her select evening parties. Lucilla is optimistic, resourceful, and completely without self-doubt, but will her indomitable nature diminish her marriage prospects? Will she marry the wrong man to save herself from eternal spinsterhood? With its superbly flawed heroine, Miss Marjoribanks (1866) is a wonderfully comic depiction of the conventions and proprieties that rule a vacuous society."--Back cover
