The Life of Artemas Ward : The First Commander-In-Chief, of the American Revolution (Classic Reprint) (9780260478351)



Excerpt from The Life of Artemas Ward: The First Commander-in-Chief, of the American Revolution I have not been alone in my uneasy conviction that Artemas Ward's memory has been unjustly neglected. Others, though lacking the impulse Of relationship, have felt that in the history of the founding Of the United States there is a blank that should be filled with the story Of his life. Even so long as eighty-one years ago, Emory Wash burn expressed a hope that some one would yet prepare a biography of General Ward that would do justice to the memory of one Of the earliest and bravest Of the patriots of the Revolution. If a commonplace biography would have contented me, it could have been produced very easily by interweaving some of the original material in the Artemas Ward Manuscripts with a conventional account Of the American Revolution and the establishment Of the United States, but I had no desire to write or publish such a biography.

From Daniel Mendoza to Mike Tyson, boxers have embodied and enacted our anxieties about race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. In her encyclopedic investigation of the shifting social, political, and cultural resonances of this most visceral of sports, Kasia Boddy throws new light on an elemental struggle for dominance whose weapons are nothing more than fists. Looking afresh at everything from neoclassical sculpture to hip-hop lyrics, Boddy explores the ways in which the history of boxing has intersected with the history of mass media. Boddy pulls no punches, looking to the work of such diverse figures as Henry Fielding and Spike Lee, Charlie Chaplin and Philip Roth, James Joyce and Mae West, Bertolt Brecht and Charles Dickens in an all-encompassing study that tells us just how and why boxing has mattered so much...
