You are in Catholic school and a girl who you can't remember is looking over your shoulder as you take a test. In this memory, a secondary memory is evoked, but this time it is the author's memory. ![]() Maybe the content of her statement is irrelevant and she only means to signal the stereotype of ‘black people time’ by employing what she perceives to be ‘black people language.’ Maybe she is jealous of whoever kept you and wants to suggest you are nothing or everything to her. Rankine begins the first section by asking the reader to recall a time of utter listlessness. The subject guesses as to why her friend might have called her this: After being just a little late, the friend, who is black, refers to the subject as a “nappy-headed ho” (41). In the first moment, the subject is late for a date with a friend in California: “You are rushing to meet a friend in a distant neighborhood of Santa Monica” (41). ![]()

Much is revealed about the words Whitman chose in 1855-their inflections, meanings, and native usages we wouldn’t otherwise know.

McPherson's accompanying captions sometimes overdo the characterological readings (in one portrait of a Confederate general we can supposedly""almost see Breckinridge's handlebar mustache twitching in anger""), but they provide interesting biographical background as well as piquant details and an indelible period feel. ![]() This new edition eliminates the footnotes and trims a fifth of the text to make way for color maps of major battles and campaigns and hundreds of photographs, cartoons and artist's depictions from the period. ![]() An abridged, illustrated version of the book was published in 2003. It is the sixth volume of the Oxford History of the United States series. Encyclopedic in scope, it synthesizes political and military history into a sweeping narrative of America's national epic, one that paints the North's victory as the triumph of a""revolutionary future"" of""competitive, egalitarian, free-labor capitalism"" over the tradition-bound and hierarchical society of the South.

The book was the third published by Davies, having been preceded by The Soul's Destroyer (1905) and New Poems (1907). Shaw was also instrumental in keeping the unusual title of the book, of which Davies himself was unsure, and which later proved to be controversial with some reviewers. George Bernard Shaw had become interested in Davies, a literary unknown at the time, and had agreed to write a preface for the book, largely through the concerted efforts of his wife Charlotte. A large part of the book's subject matter describes the way of life of the tramp in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States in the final decade of the 19th century.
