Schumann’s Involvement in Resurrecting J.S. Bach As editor and writer for his own music journal, Neue Zeitscrift für Musik, Robert Schumann made it his personal mission to write about worthy composers and lift them up as examples to the music community. He was tired of the “Philistines” of the current music establishment, such as Wagner and Meyerbeer, who he felt were commercial and pretentious. He brought Brahms and Chopin to Germany’s notice, because he felt that their music was “honest craft…

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt appointed a total of seven justices to the United States Supreme Court. Professor of Law at Harvard, and author, Noah Feldman, focuses on the background and evolution of four of FDR’s most influential justice appointees—Felix Frankfurter, Hugo Black, William O.

Kafka writes in the language of the powerful to express his hopelessness, thus undercutting the importance of the language in power.

Although Kitty criticizes Margaret’s unattractive animalistic nature, Kitty is herself equally animalistic and is represented as a bastardized animal. Nothing short of an anthropomorphized cat, Kitty, bearing her animality in her very name, wails (West 5, 7) and moans (15) incessantly like a mewing cat.
