Co-published with Pace University Press, this definitive biography of Delia Webster is a fascinating study of a New England spinster who played an important part in the Underground Railroad. Driven by her religious and humanitarian values, Webster smuggled slaves through her 600 acre farm and across the Ohio River from the slave state of Kentucky. This determined abolitionist persevered through the destruction of her farm, theft of her possessions, four incarcerations, and threats of violence to assist runaway slaves in gaining their freedom during the middle of the nineteenth century. She also attempted to establish a 'free labor' farm, and she used her skills as a teacher to establish vocational and academic schools for free blacks and poor whites.

The Social Entrepreneurship of Change

In "The Social Entrepreneurship of Change," the author sets forth his well-informed views on such varied topics as health care, urban planning, unemployment, education, and ecology. His purpose is to announce a new way of thinking about the planning of our society. In his words, this book reveals "how to think about planning creatively in new ways which overcome the paralysis inflicted on us by our present, largely defunct cognitive and institutional structures." Professor Duhl explains why Western cultures have been unable to eliminate poverty and other social problems, and offers some very heartening prescriptions for change.

The annual Journal of the Early Book Society for the Study of Manuscripts and Printing History is published by Pace University Press. The greater part of each volume is devoted to four or five substantial essays on the history of the book, with emphasis on the period of transmission from manuscript to print. The main focus is on English and Continental works produced from 1350 to 1550. In addition, the journal includes brief notes on manuscripts and early printed books, descriptive reviews of recent works in the field, and notes on libraries and collections.
The Early Book Society was founded in 1987 to bring together all those who are interested in any aspect of the study of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts and early printed books. Since 1987, EBS has sponsored special sessions at the International Congress of Medieval Studies, Western Michigan University, and smaller conferences of related interest. EBS also runs an international conference.

Essays & Correspondence

At the end of the twentieth century the questions raised and issues explored in Woolf studies prove to be sufficient themes of inquiry for a new century Can there exist common ground between queer theorists and lesbian feminists or are their causes not connected and must they go their separate ways Virginia Woolf belongs simultaneously to her time and to ours What allusions would her contemporaries have taken for granted that must now be recovered through meticulous scholarship What codes whose meanings are apparent to readers now would have been available to very few in her own time What was popular film culture like and what connections might we find between Woolf s art and British film of the 1920s How can Woolf help us think through the dangers of nationalism What does Three Guineas contribute to a discussion of corporate globalism And how does it illuminate what has happened for women in the academy and in the professions in the sixty years since it was published
