by Mei-lan Liang A little burrowing around on gopher (online service for finding information, organized by topic) revealed 46 recent additions to the Liberal Arts library. So far, only about a quarter of them have ever been checked out, mainly by faculty members. We encourage you to explore the pleasures and knowledge to be found in these and other fine books - before they grow a furry coat of dust! We offer here only a very small sampling of the treasures that await you: The Authority of the Consumer. R. Keat, N. Whiteley, and N. Abercrombie, eds. HF5415.32 A93 1994. “Museum visitors, theatre audiences, sports spectators and TV viewers, university students, hospital patients, social workers’ clients, and even taxpayers and the public served by the police - all are now deemed to be consumers…The aim of this volume is to examine what is meant by this current extension of the status of consumer, to explore what, if anything, is going on beneath the surface of the changing rhetoric…” Gender in Play on the Shakespearean Stage: Boy Heroines and Female Pages. Michael Shapiro. PR3095 S524 1994. “Like other English Renaissance writers and dramatists, Shakespeare was attracted to the heroine in male disguise…The many variations Michael Shapiro traces are placed in the context of female cross-dressing as a social phenomenon and of female impersonation as the standard way of representing women on the Shakespearean stage.”
The Brontes: Their Lives, Friendships, and Correspondence. T.J. Wise and J.A. Symington, eds. PR4168 W56 1933. “This is a complete history of the lives of the Bront family of Haworth - the household of a country parson, his wife and children - with notes on their friendships and their aspirations and achievements in literature.” The City of London: A Photographer’s Portrait. James Bartholomew… TR659 B3z 1989. “One hundred striking, beautifully composed black-and-white photographs capture the famous institutions as well as the lesser-known alleys and passages of the City of London. A historical record, it also shows the extraordinary juxtaposition of old and new, characteristic of today.” a
