Download or read book Claiming de Wayke written by Colm O'Shea and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on 2022-06-28 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would you do if someone offered you the keys to a limitless reality? Tayto is a saint—someone addicted to their VR halo. He’s uneducated, unmotivated, and loath to quit his habit and embrace the real world: the Wayke. When the mysterious Zeke Zohar contacts him, offering him a chance to be raptured into a VR paradise forever, it seems too good to be true. The catch: Zeke believes this chance hinges on them finding Tayto’s genius brother, and his plan involves journeying to Tayto’s childhood home, navigating the detested Wayke in the process. For all the weirdness of the VR universe, it’s the real world that Tayto finds truly strange. His journey forces him to confront a gang, a cult, and the two great questions that addicts often face: Is it possible to come home? Is it possible to escape from it?
Download or read book James Joyce s Mandala written by Colm O’Shea and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-07-29 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sanskrit word mandala can be translated as "sacred circle." Within the circle sits a microcosm of the universe and/or consciousness, repre-sented by icons. Eastern civilizations developed the spiritual-artistic practice of creating mandalas—with sand, paint, and architecture—to high technical sophistication, making manifest a geometry with layers of esoteric meaning for both the mandala artist and the initiated spectator. James Joyce’s Mandala outlines and explains this iconic sacred geometry, and assesses to what extent Joyce’s works of literature, in particular Finnegans Wake, can be understood as mandalic constructs. Using exam-ples from Dubliners to the Wake, we see how fundamental to Joyce’s fiction is the issue of spiritual paralysis (a problem the mandala attempts to dissolve) and also how fascinated he was by geometric imagery and symmetry, the technical devices employed in mandala construction. This is the first book-length comparison of Joyce’s work with the mythic structure of the mandala. Never discounting the richness of Joyce’s genius, it uses his "collideorscape" to explore the secrets of the mandala principle as much as it uses mandala theory to illuminate his famed book of the night.

Download or read book Written Work written by Steven Justice and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critics of Piers Plowman have often behaved as if the great fourteenth-century English poem were written by committee, Written Work marks a major shift in orientation by focusing on William Langland instead of Piers Plowman. The five original historicist studies collected here are less concerned with searching for Langland's identity in medieval records than with examining the marks, even scars, left on him by the history he touched. Derek Pearsall studies what Langland knew about London—its geography, economics, and social life—and the way his focus on the city shifted in the course of revising the poem. Kathryn Kerby-Fulton examines the conditions for authorship and publishing in late fourteenth-century England and uncovers evidence of Langland's struggles to attract patronage and maintain control over the text and circulation of Piers. Anne Middleton's stunning chapter explores how the long shadow of fourteenth-century labor laws fell across Langland as he reworked his text. Ralph Hanna III examines the conflicting demands of manual and intellectual labor on the poet, while Lawrence M. Clopper uncovers the deep impressions that contemporary controversies about Franciscan poverty made on Langland and his life-work. Each of the chapters unfolds from Langland's apologia, the extraordinary autobiographical passage unique to the last of the three distinct versions of Piers Plowman that have come down to us.

Download or read book Prose and poetry of the age of Chaucer s XIV written by Antonio Bravo and published by Universidad de Oviedo. This book was released on 1998 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The task of the historian of language is to recreate texts as they were at a given stage of their linguistic life. The texts which follow have been selected and edited in the hope of providing means for understanding the English language of the age of Chaucer. The selection in this volume have been chosen to illustrate the history of the English language in the XIVth. Century. This anthology was conceived, at least in part, because I agree with the idea that it is in literature and in the works written by the most outstanding writers that a language displays its full power. Each selection is supplied with a brief introduction, which gives information as to the source and background necessary for understanding the text, and brief bibliography on MSS, modern editions, and language and literature criticism.
