L'Orient médiéval est certes une délimitation géographique, mais il est beaucoup plus que cela : il constitue une véritable catégorie encyclopédique sous laquelle se détache un secteur de la réalité et en laquelle vient se ranger un ensemble relativement stable de rubriques. Les merveilles qui s'y détaillent nous inclineraient trop vite à traiter cette région du monde comme le séjour de l'imaginaire et à doter la mentalité médiévale d'une singulière perméabilité à la fiction, ou d'une prédilection remarquable pour le monstrueux. En quoi nous risquons fort de projeter seulement un certain romantisme du dépaysement et de l'exotisme et de manquer le réalisme fondamentalement objectif d'une représentation du xiiie s. L'Orient n'est pas un rêve, c'est un fait. C'est à ce titre qu'il entre dans toute somme du savoir concernant le monde. Et pour se convaincre de l'importance de la place qu'il doit occuper dans le genre encyclopédique dont les dénominations d'Imago ou de Speculum s'assignent l'exacte conformité du reflet, il suffit de rappeler que dans la langue savante et selon la géographie reçue, l'appellation d'Orient ne couvre rien moins que la moitié de la terre habitée.

A leading critic of contemporary Spanish poetry examines here the work of ten important poets who came to maturity in the immediate post-Civil War period and whose major works appeared between 1956 and 1971: Francisco Brines; Eladio Cabañero; Angel Crespo; Gloria Fuertes; Jaime Gil de Biedma; Angel González; Manuel Mantero; Claudio Rodríguez; Carlos Sahagún; and José Angel Valente.Although each of these poets has developed an individual style, their work has certain common characteristics: use of the everyday language and images of contemporary Spain, development of language codes and intertex

For roughnecks in search of trouble, Deadwood was the place to go. An outlaw town--its very beginnings as a mining camp violated government treaties with the Sioux--Deadwood soon acquired a reputation that dime novels could hardly exaggerate. It attracted both the great and the gritty. Calamity Jane lived there, Wild Bill Hickok was shot in the back there and Buffalo Bill was an irregular visitor, not to mention Seth Bullock, Mineral Jack, Slippery Sam, Cold Deck Johnny, and Belle Haskell, the best-known madam in town.To reform the town's notorious habits, Federal Judge Granville G. Bennett moved to Deadwood with his family in 1877, and his young daughter, Estelline, grew up with the town. She saw it change from a congeries of horse thieves, claim jumpers, road agents, painted ladies, and slick or shabby gamblers to a middle-class railroad town, a little dazed by its history and success. Her story of the settlement that grew up around Deadwood Gulch remains one of the finest and fullest accounts of the taming of the West.
