The Presence of the Word
Some Prolegomena for Cultural and Religious History
by
Walter J. Ong, S.J.
This provocative exploration of the nature and history of the word in some of its
social, psychological, literary, phenomenological, and religious dimensions contends
that the word is initially aural and that sound is essentially an event manifesting
power and presence. Father Dng analyzes the development of the media of verbal
expression from their oral sources through the laborious transfer to
the
visual
world and then to the contemporary means of electronic communication.

Restif's Novels
or An Autobiography in Search of an Author
by
Charles A. Porter
Dismissed until recently as an erotic psychopath, a repetitious reformer of every–
thing from spelling to prostitution, and a poor imitator of Rousseau and Sade,
Restif de la Bretonne (1734-1806) has now captivated the attention of biographers
and cultural historians. This is the first full·scale study of his unique achieve–
ments in the novel, the genre of half of his literary output.
