WALTON and JAMES F. SHEPHERD The authors analyse the development of the colonial economy from the early settlement days to the period of the Revolutionary War.

This volume discusses the consequences of these changes. Why have American i policy options narrowed? How well has the Carter administration coped j with these changes? Are these trends likely to persist, and need they j confound policy makers in the 1980's? In addressing these questions the authors move from chapters on the domestic and international ! setting of foreign policy to ten critical issues including the Soviet Union, [ Eurocommunism the Arab-Israeli dispute and nuclear expansion.

'This book is about the decline of freedom in America,' says the author, and he proceeds to overturn three generations of historical literature on Populism and to cast a radically new light on what he calls the undemocratic 'progressive society' of twentieth-century America. Paper covers £2-95 Galaxy Books Slave Religion The 'Invisible Institution' in the Antebellum South Albert J. Raboteau This book studies the Black religious experience under slavery from its African roots through its reinterpretation and reconstitution under Christianity. The author examines the influence of African religious perspectives on the ideology of Christianity and the special way in which Black slaves converted the expression of religiosity into one of the most creative experiences of the Black in servitude. Illustrated £7-95 A Feast of Words The Triumph of Edith Wharton Cynthia Griffin Wolff A product of the most aristocratic element of New York society in the late nineteenth century, a society that positively discouraged women from any occupation save motherhood and becoming a good hostess. Edith Wharton seemed the most unlikely sort of person to be a writer. Yet she became a great novelist. How and why she did so is explained in this full-scale examination of Edith Wharton's works and of her unpublished autobiographical recollec- tions and fiction. This is a paperback edition of the book first published in 1977 and still available in cloth at £8-25. Illustrated paper covers £3-50 Galaxy Books Representative Man Ralph Waldo Emerson in his Time Joel Porte This is a new biographical study of one of the great American writers. The book is divided into the four seasons of Emerson's life: 'Rites of Spring'; 'A Summer of Discontent: Emerson in 1838'; 'The Fall of Man'; and 'A Winter's Tale: The Elder Emerson'. Each part starts with a brief biogra- phical and chronological sketch, then discusses the events and works which together convey the best intellectual portrait of Emerson at that period of his life.

Katzman The industrialization of America brought about massive changes in most sectors of American life. In at least one sector, however—the household—the effects were minimized by the presence and persistence of domestic servants. In this investigation of domestic service in America between the Civil War and the First World War, the author presents a vivid picture of the limitations and hardships faced by the servants, describes servant-employer relations, and shows how the kind of people in service changed as new occupations in shop, factory, and office opened up to women. £7-75 Democracy and the Novel Popular Resistance to Classic American Writers Henry Nash Smith This book discusses problems arising from the relation between certain major American novelists of the nineteenth century and American popular culture of the period. While the writers of the time had to make some contact with the new mass audience if their work was to survive, they actively resisted it. Among the novelists discussed in this reinterpretation of nineteenth-century American literature are Hawthorne and Melville, William Dean Howells, Mark Twain, and Henry James. £7-25 A Companion to California James D. Hart The author of the Oxford Companion to American Literature has followed the model of that book, and of other Oxford Companions, in compiling this reference book to the State of California: its climate, people, architecture, literature, education, flora, fauna, etc. There are over a thousand entries on topics ranging from hotels, banks, newspapers, and missions, to figures from the world of politics, films, and popular music. £10 The Last Romantic The Life of Max Eastman William L. O'Neill Max Eastman's great creation was his own life. A key figure on the American cultural scene for over half a century, Eastman was a prominent member of the Bohemian set in Greenwich Village, was put on trial for his anti-war opinions, edited The Liberator, a radical magazine, after World War I, was one of the first American intellectuals to live in Soviet Russia, later turned against Stalinism and wrote significant books criticizing Russian communism, and then threw away his new-found respectability by joining the Readers' Digest.

It reflects the authors' point of view that the organizational structure of corporate production and the intimate relationship between government and corporate capitalism are directly responsible for the persistent inequalities in American society.

The authors, one a distinguished political scientist, the other a leading political writer, present American government and political institutions in historical context but consistently relate them to con- temporary issues. The result is a textbook that is stimulating, exciting, authoritative, and comprehensive. Inspection copies available from the publisher A M .
