No dust jacket. -- "The great difficulty of describing adequately and simultaneously three widely divergent sections of the same tribe must be my excuse for some at least of the deficiencies of this book. It seems certain, humanly speaking, that it is the last tribal monograph I shall ever write, and my thanks are due to all those who made its production possible. The Government of Assam have again provided the funds. All praise is due to those who so regularly and generously pour out money in aid of the physical sciences. But there is no denying that our knowledge of the inorganic world has so far outstripped that of the organic that there is real danger that physical science may become an instrument too powerful for our control. The study of cultures and of their impact upon one another is all important if human progress is not to be left unguided in a shrunken world where the protection of distance has been well nigh destroyed by rapid means of communication. The greater credit is therefore due to a Government which, looking beyond the immediate present, is ready to stand forth as a patron of anthropology even in times of great financial stringency."

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 2012 Cambridge University Press hardcover edition. Unread copy in very good condition. From the cover: Edgar Allan Poe mastered a variety of literary forms over the course of his brief and turbulent career. As a storyteller, Poe defied convention by creating Gothic tales of mystery, horror and suspense that remain widely popular today. This collection demonstrates how Poe's experience of early nineteenth-century American life fueled his iconoclasm and shaped his literary legacy. Rather than provide critical explications of his writings, each essay explores one aspect of Poe's immediate environment, using pertinent writings - verse, fiction, reviews and essays - to suit. Examining his geographical, social and literary contexts, as well as those created by the publishing industry and advances in science and technology, the essays paint an unprecedented portrait of Poe's life and times. Written for a wide audience, the collection will offer scholars and students of American literature, historians and general readers new insight into Poe's rich and complex work. Contents: Part One.
