William Hickling Prescott May 4 1796 January 28 1859 was an American historian and Hispanist who is widely recognized by historiographers to have been the first American scientific historian Despite suffering from serious visual impairment which at times prevented him from reading or writing for himself Prescott became one of the most eminent historians of 19th century America He is also noted for his eidetic memory After an extensive period of study during which he sporadically contributed to academic journals Prescott specialized in late Renaissance Spain and the early Spanish Empire His works on the subject The History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic 1837 The History of the Conquest of Mexico 1843 A History of the Conquest of Peru 1847 and the unfinished History of the Reign of Phillip II 18561858 have become classic works in the field and have had a great impact on the study of both Spain and Mesoamerica During his lifetime he was upheld as one of the greatest living American intellectuals and knew personally many of the leading political figures of the day in both the United States and Britain Prescott has become one of the most widely translated American historians and was an important figure in the development of history as a rigorous academic discipline Historians admire Prescott for his exhaustive careful and systematic use of archives his accurate recreation of sequences of events his balanced judgments and his lively writing style He was primarily focused on political and military affairs largely ignoring economic social intellectual and cultural forces that in recent decades historians have focused on Instead he wrote narrative history subsuming unstated causal forces in his driving storyline

We do not have too much intellect and too little soul but too little precision in matters of the soulRobert MusilBest known as author of the novel The Man without Qualities Robert Musil wrote these essays in Vienna and Berlin between 1911 and 1937 Offering a perspective on modern society and intellectual life they are concerned with the crisis of modern culture as it manifests itself in science and mathematics capitalism and nationalism the changing roles of women and writers and more Writing to find his way in a world where moral systems everywhere were seemingly in decay Musil strives to reconcile the ongoing conflict between functional relativism and the passionate search for ethical valuesRobert Musil was born in 1880 and died in 1942 His first novel Young Törless is available in English A new twovolume translation by Burton Pike and Sophie Wilkins of The Man without Qualities is forthcoming from Alfred A KnopfNow we have these thirtyone invaluable and entertaining pieces from an article on The Obscene and Pathological in Art to the equally provocative talk On Stupidity which with a new translation of The Man without Qualities forthcoming amount to a literary event for the reader of English comparable to Constance Garnetts massive translation of Chekhovs storiesJoseph Coates Chicago TribuneMusil is one of the few great moderns one of the handful who ventured to confront the issues that shape and define our time He has a range and a striking capacity every bit as great as that of Mann Joyce or BeckettBoston ReviewThese essays are crucial in understanding a writer and critic whose lifelong task was an attempt to resolve the dichotomy between the precision of scientific form and the soulthe matter of life and artChoice

nbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspnbspIt is a magnificent epic said William H Prescott after the publication of History of the Conquest of Mexico in 1843 Since then his sweeping account of Cortéss subjugation of the Aztec people has endured as a landmark work of scholarship and dramatic storytelling This pioneering study presents a compelling view of the clash of civilizations that reverberates in Latin America to this dayRegarded simply from the standpoint of literary criticism the Conquest of Mexico is Prescotts masterpiece judged his biographer Harry Thurston Peck More than that it is one of the most brilliant examples which the English language possesses of literary art applied to historical narration Here as nowhere else has Prescott succeeded in delineating character All the chief actors of his great historic drama not only live and breathe but they are as distinctly differentiated as they must have been in life Cortés and his lieutenants are persons whom we actually come to know in the pages of Prescott Over against these brilliant figures stands the melancholy form of Montezuma around whom even from the first one feels gathering the darkness of his coming fate He reminds one of some hero of Greek tragedy doomed to destruction and intensely conscious of it yet striving in vain against the decree of an inexorable destiny Prescott transmuted the acquisitions of laborious research into an enduring monument of pure literature
