Eldorado: Or, Adventures in the Path of Empire

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Taylor, Bayard / Cleland, Robert Glass, PUBLISHER: Bison Books, The Eldorado that Bayard Taylor imagined in his youthful poetry was not half so fabulous as the California he finally saw in the historical year of . He joined the flood of Forty-niners, not as a fortune-seeker but as a journalist, sailing from New York on a crowded steamer. The sight of San Francisco dazzled him: the simmering mountains and water and air, the few hundred houses that seemed to multiply before his very eyes, and the streets teeming with people "of a diverse and bizarre character." Real estate was booming, and fortunes were being made, lost, and remade in two months. Before Taylor returned to New York via Mexico in he would tour the missions, mining camps, and scattered ranches farther inland; note the agricultural potential of the valleys; and talk with the overland emigrants. Taking the feverish pulse of a pitched-together society, he would, like everyone else, be changed by California.

Cowper's 'Task': Structure and Influence

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Priestman, Martin, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, William Cowper () is one of the most interesting of late eighteenth-century poets. His poetry is notable as heralding a simpler and more natural style than the classical style of Pope and his imitators, and thus prefiguring the profound innovations of Romanticism. Though Cowper himself has attracted attention as either a religious maniac or a lovably domestic character, his most important poetry has been neglected. This book, which was originally published in , is the first complete critical study of his major long poem The Task. Furthermore, by carefully examining the procedures whereby an autobiographical element is introduced into the poem, the author shows how the concerns and techniques of The Task influenced the major autobiographical poem of the Romantic period, Wordsworth's The Prelude. The connection between the two poems had often been acknowledged in passing, but prior to this work The Task had not been surveyed in sufficient detail to establish the full weight and importance of this connection.

Sijobang: Sung Narrative Poetry of West Sumatra

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Phillips, Nigel, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Sijobang - the singing of a poetic narrative about the legendary hero Anggun Nan Tungga - is a form of popular entertainment in the area around Payakumbuh, in the highlands of West Sumatra. Although the story exists as a written text, it is best known locally as drama and sung narrative, and it is its character as an oral performance that forms the subject of this book. Nigel Phillips begins by setting sijobang in its cultural and literary context, and then goes on to describe the social background and training of the paid storytellers who perform the narrative. He presents a summary of the story, and discusses its transient, fragmentary and unstandardized form. Transcriptions and translations of two recorded performances follow, leading into a description of sijobang's main linguistic and literary features. Finally, Dr Phillips examines in some detail the extent to which performances vary from one occasion to another, and what connection this may have with the storyteller's degree of experience.

Ten in the Morning

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Corbett, William, PUBLISHER: Pressed Wafer Press, Coble, Gerald. Ten in the Morning. Text by William Corbett. Poetry. Art. TEN IN THE MORNING presents an evocative grouping of reader responses. This tandem collection presents Willian Corbett's poems as a response to American artist Gerald Coble's collage, which, itself, comprises responses to writings by Proust, Whitman, Melville, Dickinson, and Thoreau, and to the actress Ava Gardner. Together, these responses remind readers of the possibility of personal readings of public figures. As Corbett writes in his introduction, "Proust, Whitman, Melville, Dickinson, and Thoreau sit firmly in the Western world's pantheon of writers." Perhaps, they sit so far above us that it is easy to forget that those of us who love their work have a personal relationship to it. "Coble's response is of such an individual character-long white gloves and a white thorn branch for Dickinson -that viewers will be spurred to remember their first and ongoing encounters with these generative writers"-William C

Brightest Heaven of Invention: A Christian Guide to Six

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Leithart, Peter, PUBLISHER: Canon Press, Shakespeare was, as Caesar says of Cassius, "a great observer," able to see and depict patterns of events and character. He understood how politics is shaped by the clash of men with various colorings of self-interest and idealism, how violence breeds violence, how fragile human beings create masks and disguises for protection, how schemers do the same for advancement, how love can grow out of hate and hate out of love. Dare anyone say that these insights are irrelevant to living in the real world? For many in an older generation, the Bible and the Collected Shakespeare were the two indispensable books, and thus their sense of life and history was shaped by the best and best-told stories. And they were the wiser for it. Literature abstracts from the complex events of life (just as we do every day) and can reveal patterns that are like the patterns of events in the real world. Studying Literature can give us sensitivity to those patterns and lead towards true wisdom. Acquista Ora
