These compelling accounts of hard times and hard work reveal human courage, dignity, and resilience from a generation that endured the Great Depression.One achievement of the 1930s Federal Writers' Project was its ambitious collection of life histories based on interviews with southern workers and farmers. For Up before Daylight James Seay Brown chose 28 of the more than 100 accounts from throughout Alabama as a rich sampling--from the Tennessee Valley to the Gulf Coast and from cities as well as rural regions. First published in 1982, Up before Daylight is now available in a reprint edition containing a revised preface by the editor and a new foreword by Alabama historian Wayne Flynt.

This early work by Otto Jespersen was originally published in 1933 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Essentials of English Grammar' is an informative work on linguistics and includes chapters on 'Sounds', 'Spelling', 'Definitive Pronouns', and much more. Otto Jespersen was born in Randers, Denmark on 16th July 1869. He worked as an academic at Copenhagen University and rose to the position of professor of English, a post he held from 1893 to 1925. Jespersen made a considerable contribution to the study of linguistics and some of his works are still used as the basic texts for study in the field.
