Ten Little Herrings

'Davis has written a fascinating, illuminating book. Rather than focusing on a single text supposedly representing Sir Philip Sidney's 'true' intentions, Davis examines the thematics of each individual issue of the Arcadia and Astrophil and Stella. Davis then examines how Elizabethan sonneteers and polemicists used Sidney's name for their own purposes. Brilliantly combining literary history, textual scholarship, metrical analysis, and intense close-reading, Davis has irrevocably changed Sidney scholarship as well as providing a model for how 'un-editing' early modern texts provides fascinating, revisionary criticism.' - Peter C. Herman, Professor, San Diego State University and author of Destablizing Milton: 'Paradise Lost' and the Poetics of Incertitude

'Davis's new book makes a significant contribution to both the textual history and the reception history of Sir Philip Sidney and the Sidney circle through carefully and intelligently reconstructing the contexts in which the poet's writings first made it into print. Davis not only offers valuable and original insights into the place of Sidney's publications within early modern book history, but he reveals the true extent of what amounted to a competition to represent Sidneyfollowing his death, bothby his immediate literary heirs and by modern critics and commentators. This book leads us to revise how we read, interpret and conceive of Sidney's printed works.' - Matthew Woodcock, Senior Lecturerin Literature, University of East Anglia and author of Fairy in the Faerie Queene: Renaissance Elf-Fashioning and Elizabethan Myth-Making

'A learned and provocative study of the contexts and textual states of the works associated with Sidney and the idea of 'Sidney.' Davis's powerful reading sets the Arcadia in all its forms within an unfolding succession of literary, commercial, and political worlds.' - Jason Powell, Assistant Professor of English, Saint Joseph's University

"Written from an insightful radical perspective.[Teaching Values] brings a necessary voice to these discussions, a voice that blends theoretical knowledge with practical experience." -- bell hooks, author of Teaching to Transgress"Written from an insightful radical perspective.[Teaching Values] takes on issues that are usually addressed soley by conservatives; it's time other voices entered these debates.  The book brings a necessary voice to these discussions; a voice that blends theoretical knowledge with practical experience." -- bell hooks, author of Teaching to Transgress"Teaching Values calmly extricates multiculturalism from the hands of Ravitch, Schlesinger, et al. and astutely places it in the traditions of Western thought that it is supposed to be destroying, and on the high ethical ground where it belongs.  Deftly avoiding both polemics and postmodern nihilism, Scapp defies current caricatures of 'the left.'  Allowing his years of experience as an educator and his keen intelligence to guide the way, he helps us to think carefully, wisely, humanely, and freshly about a range of controversial issues." -- Susan Bordo, Otis A. Singletary Professor of Humanities, University of Kentucky

Teaching Values

&ldquo;To read science fiction is to read Simak. A reader who does not like Simak stories does not like science fiction at all.&rdquo; &mdash;Robert A. Heinlein &#160; &ldquo;Like Olaf Stapledon and SF&rsquo;s later mystics, Simak could dream on a grand scale.&#160;.&#160;.&#160;. Thoreau or Wordsworth would feel at home in his isolated houses rooted in natural landscapes.&rdquo; &mdash;Locus &#160; &ldquo;Simak is the most underrated great science fiction writer alive, and has never written a bad book.&rdquo; &mdash;Theodore Sturgeon &#160; &ldquo;I read [Simak&rsquo;s] stories with particular attention, and I couldn&rsquo;t help but notice the simplicity and directness of the writing&mdash;the utter clarity of it. I made up my mind to imitate it, and I labored over the years to make my writing simpler, clearer, more uncluttered, to present my scenes on a bare stage.&rdquo; &mdash;Isaac Asimov &#160; &ldquo;Without Simak, science fiction would have been without its most humane element, its most humane spokesman for the wisdom of the ordinary person and the value of life lived close to the land.&rdquo; &mdash;James Gunn
