This two-part study written in the English language describes the most important stages in the historical development of drama in Ulster (one of the four original provinces of Ireland and roughly equal in size to today's British province of Northern Ireland). The study attempts to show that drama in Ireland (North and South) has always been deeply affected by and involved in the fight for social and spiritual freedom on the island. Against this background, the plays of the worker-writer Sam Thompson of Belfast (1916-1965) are presented as realistic drama of a strongly political and humanistic character, attempting to heal the wounds and bridge the violent antagonies produced by centuries of sectarian strife.
This listing of several thousand nonbelievers includes ancients such as Euripides; French revolutionaries and statements by or about countless individuals including Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Hugh Hefner, Jack Nicholson, Sally Jesse Raphael, Christopher Reeve, Salman Rushdie, Carl Sagan, Ted Turner and Jesse Ventura. This book makes a case not only for the respectability of nonbelievers but also for their positive outlooks and creativity.
More than fifty specialists have contributed to this new edition of volume 1 of The Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature. The design of the original work has established itself so firmly as a workable solution to the immense problems of analysis, articulation and coordination that it has been retained in all its essentials for the new edition. The task of the new contributors has been to revise and integrate the lists of 1940 and 1957, to add materials of the following decade, to correct and refine the bibliographical details already available, and to re-shape the whole according to a new series of conventions devised to give greater clarity and consistency to the entries.
