Books
A Family Memoir (American University Studies Series Xxiv, American Literature)
Charles Heber Clark (1841-1915) was a Philadelphia journalist/author (and eventually a wealthy businessman) who often wrote under the pseudonym "Max Adeler." A leading figure among the Literary Comedians of the 1870s, his international reputation as a humorist was established by the success of his first book, Out of the Hurly-Burly, in 1874. Clark's autobiography A Family Memoir - published here for the first time - supplies much needed missing information about his life and career, and is a unique source for those interested in the social, political, and economic history of his era. In addition to providing an introduction and bibliography of Clark's works (and a secondary bibliography), David Ketterer argues in an appendix that Clark/Adeler's "Professor Baffin's Adventures" of 1880 (reproduced in facsimile) inspired Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.
Elbow room
In Elbow Room, Dennett shows how the classical formulation of the problem in philosophy depend on misuses of imagination, and he disentangles the philosophical problems of real interest from the "family of anxieties" they get enmeshed in-imaginary agents, bogeymen, and dire prospects that seem to threaten our freedom.
