The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism presents a staggeringly varied collection of the most influential critical statements from the classical era to the present day. Edited by scholars and teachers whose interests range from the history of poetics to postmodernism, from classical rhetoric to йriture fйminine, and from the social construction of gender to the machinery of academic superstardom, The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism promises to become the standard anthology in its field.

A book for yachtsmen which demonstrates, stage by stage, the tying of 30 knots, 19 rope splices, seven decorative knots and five wire splices. We are naturally gratified that the success of our two Shell Books of Knots and Ropework and Practical and Decorative Ropework has been such that this combined volume is called for. Part One comprises the basic knots and splices with a few of the decorative type thrown in for good measure. Part Two is devoted principally to the decorative work practised by the old sailing-ship seamen whose craftsmanship approached art. Certainly it is on the level of macrame.
