Free #OnlineEvent from #LibraryOfAmerica: What is #Totalitarianism? Understanding #HannahArendt Now
Registration is required, but there is no fee.
In her masterpiece, The Origins of Totalitarianism, Arendt linked the horrors of Nazism and Stalinism, seeing them as twin manifestations of a terrifying new political system that sought absolute control over all aspects of life. How does this book, which probed the psychology and pathology of the twentieth century, take on new relevance in today’s political landscape?

The metadata for this is a bit odd, but this is the #LibraryOfAmerica volume of Woolson. It is not a complete collection (which is interesting) but rather collected stories, with a few missing from each of the volumes published during her lifetime and immediately after her death.
Have not read any Woolson previously, and excited by her apparent interest (implicit or explicit) in regionality. Not a whole lot of fiction writers from this period were dwelling on the upper #Midwest!

Free #OnlineEvent sponsored by #LibraryOfAmerica:
The Revolutionary Writings of #BlackAmericans with James G. Basker and Annette Gordon-Reed.
The story told and retold about America’s founding often excludes the Black communities that existed during the Revolution and the early republic. Black Writers of the Founding Era, a new volume from Library of America, changes that.

Oh, damn! #LibraryOfAmerica is adding to their crime novel collections by going to the ‘60s with two volumes. And they’ve chose photorealist painters Don Eddy and Richard Estes for the covers (the ‘40s and ‘50s volumes had Edward Hopper and George Ault, respectively).

WHAT? Library of America has a boxed set of Women Crime Writers from the '40s and '50s?
'Course, I may have to pull a heist to afford it.
