From this perspective, the author then explores four literary giants: Dante, Milton, Blake, and Joyce. If the vastness of such an undertaking leads at times to the venturing of large claims, the author is to be commended for his courage in being willing to engage issues of immense import. To see the evolution of consciousness through the perspective embodied in specific texts is to attest not only to the continuity of cultural movements but to the primacy of canonical texts as an index to the nature of those movements. In that attestation, the book combines philosophical disquisition and astute textual analysis. At the same time, it succeeds in integrating a vast amount of material within the scope of a unified analysis. What results is an engaging and challenging work, one that will be of interest to literary historians and theologians alike.

At the present time, perhaps, these and other ironies have brought more maturity in judgments of courts and legislatures as they deal with tuition grants unrestricted, academic building appropriations, etc. Apart from these matters of more general interest, B.'s fresh research revises earlier scholarship, which left many of these and other matters too simply explained. Especially his extensive use of petitions to the legislature becomes not only revealing of the broad religious feeling of the times, but an explanation of how Virginia diverged from the other states in its church-state provisions. Since as many as a thousand citizens might sign these communications from a county to the legislature, there is a significant type of quantitative research in the study. The scribblings and legislative writings of Madison and Jefferson have heretofore had to be our fare. B. lets us hear from lesser voices in the legislature and in the counties. As a result, his central concern is highly illuminated and avenues to new areas are indicated. This, however, could have been an unbearable burden (even to a specialist) to share in print with the reader. Instead, we have bright prose, replete with characterizations of his own and from the times, and concise summations of ideology and law. It was a particular grace to this reviewer to find rhetorical Virginia gentlemen paraphrased and aptly quoted with brevity where they deserved it.

Research focusing on hospitality and leisure management education argues for greater cognisance of the relevance of students' experience with third level education. Therefore, the current paper seeks to address the issue of student feedback and satisfaction measurement in light of recent proposals.Design/methodology/approachThe responses to a “course satisfaction questionnaire” taken from a database of first year students (n=263) were factor‐analysed using the principal component technique, the purpose of which was to identify latent explanatory variables of the student satisfaction concept as applied in a hospitality management context. Descriptive analysis was used to examine the level of satisfaction within the data. Tests for gender and nat...

Although many of the clergy professed gifts of prophecy, their vision was eternal rather than secular. A religious calling meant exemplary stewardship as God\u27s vassal, and as such their interests and concerns transcended political affairs. The men of the cloth kept abreast of current event,s but, as God\u27s viceregents, felt a responsibility not blemish their religious calling in unsanctified, mundane matters. Only when the religious and secular lives of the parishoners became fused did the church take a definite partisan stand, and that in the path taken by the state.
