Book Description

THE VERY GREAT MONSTER IN THE WHITE HOUSE was inspired by watching the continuing battle against Donald Trump by the media, many Republicans, Democrats, academics, minority groups, journalists, celebrities, and many others. He has a disapproval rating of about two-thirds of the country. Yet he had continued to struggle from one conflict and scandal to the next, as he appeals to the angry and disaffected, though he was once considered just a reality show entertainer and businessman. This growing battle during the election and in first the eight months of his presidency led me to think of the way these myths about monsters in many cultures can help explain what is going on. As such, I have compared Trump to 15 of these monsters, including the dragon St. George fights, the Chimera, Medusa, the Cyclops, the Kraken, Charybis, the Hyrdra, the Minotaur, the Sphinx, and even the Devil, in his many guises, including Beelzebub, Lucifer, and Satan. These myths reflect the battle against Trump and his message of racism, xenophobia, and hate: - Trump and Monster Myth Mash - Is Trump a Chimera? - Beheading the Trump Campaign - Could Trump Be the U.S. Cyclops? - Beware the Trump Water Monster - Trump and the Monsters of the Sea - Trump and the Many Headed Monsters - Trump and the Human Beasts - Is Trump the Modern-Day Devil?

Book Description

The British are coming. This "biography of a single day" captures the burning of the White House by the British during the War of 1812 from the viewpoint of the people who were there, including First Lady Dolley Madison, a British officer, and a nine-year-old slave. In the early hours before dawn, a cry went out that the British were advancing on Washington, D.C. America was two years into another war—The War of 1812. By nightfall on the 24th, British soldiers were setting fire to D.C., starting with the Navy Yard, then the Capitol and the White House, where First Lady Dolley Madison still kept watch. Jane Sutcliffe draws upon first-person accounts to recreate a compelling chronology of the events of August 24, 1814.

Book Description

Hosting the Monster responds to the call of the monstrous with, not rejection, but invitation. Positing the monster as that which defies classification, the essays in this collection are an ongoing engagement with that which lies outside of established boundaries. With chapters ranging from the monstrous mother or the deformed child to subjectivity in transition, this volume is not only of interest to film and gender scholars and literary and cultural theorists but also students of popular culture or horror. Its wide appeal stems from its invitation both to entertain the monster and to widen the call to and the listening for the monsters that have not yet, and perhaps must not yet, come calling back. This sense of hospitality and non-hostility is one guiding principle of this collection, suggesting that the ability to survey and research the otherwise may reveal more about the subjectivity of the self through the wisdom of the other, however monstrous the manifestation.
