Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "John," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have John in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with John when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name John, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description
John Webster's reputation as a dramatist stems mainly from his two great revenge tragedies "The White Devil" and "The Duchess of Malfi". Webster's dramas have attracted critical controversy, as some commentators find his plays incoherent, tangled and chaotic, fitfully illuminated by brilliant scenes and speeches. In "A Winter's Snake", Christina Luckyj dissects the structure of Webster's two most revived plays to reveal a unity of form and clarity of vision. Luckyj analyzes the devices that Webster used and that help to rank him as a principal playwright: juxtaposition of stage analogues for opening a play; large-scale repetition for intensification in mid-play; final act subplots for recapitulation in his plays; and concentric form for clarification of a play's overall shape and meaning. Analyzing trends in criticism of Webster and Renaissance drama, this book presents a new view of Webster, not as an eccentric or morally confused artist but as a careful craftsman who used repetition and other devices to convey a complex moral vision that emerges chiefly in performance. ...

Product Description
Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic examinations. Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are ¿difficult, and often encountered¿ in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many areprovided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster's Online Dictionary.
