James Joyce was one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century but he was not immediately recognised as such; rather he lived in exile in the cosmopolitan Europe of the 1920s in a bid to escape the suffocating atmosphere & parochial prejudices of his native Dublin. His unstinting dedication to authorship picks him out as a writer in the romantic tradition. He battled poverty & financial dependency for much of his adult life as well as near-blindness from 1917 & the grief of his daughter Lucias mental illness. He suffered too the slings & arrows of uncomprehending critics especially for his influential Ulysses which was banned in both Britain & America. Drawing on considerable new material that has only recently become available Gordon Bowkers biography attempts to get beyond the exterior life to explore the inner landscape of an extraordinary writer who continues to fascinate & influence well over a century after his birth. ...

This book follows the life of James Madison our 4th president who at the tender age of twenty-five was thrust into significant politics as an elected member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. Even in his first venture into statesmanship. Madison took notes on constitutional deliberations a practice that he would continue in the Federal Convention that proposed the United States Constitution & throughout much of his legislative career whether in Philadelphia New York City or Williamsburg Virginia. Just as most of our knowledge of the framing of the U.S. Constitution is provided by Madisons painstaking notes of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 much of our knowledge of George Masons many contributions to the Virginia Constitution of 1776 are also known through Madisons efforts. His major personal contribution to that seminal state constitution is a brief but key phrase in the Virginia Declaration of Rights that would in many respects become a pattern for the Bill of Rights that Madison was later largely responsible for addition to the United States Constitution. His addition of a simple clause converted Masons proposed language from religious toleration where an official church would permit citizens to attend other churches to religious freedom with its clear implication that it was one of the Rights of Man that were so important to that revolutionary generation. Throughout his career he remained committed to religious freedom & he is still considered one of its greatest contributors. During the brief time between his terms in Congress he would prevail in battles against the re-establishment of the Episcopal Church in Virginia & would win legislative approval for the Statute for Religious Freedom that Jefferson wrote & in which he took enormous pride but which required the legislative management of James Madison to become law. Madison is best & justifiably known as Father of the Constitution because of his heroic role in bringing together the Federal Convention in 1787 influencing its outcomes through the Virginia Plan maintaining records of the debates winning its ratification in the largest state & influencing several other states. ...
