Download or read book Yeats s Legacies written by Warwick Gould and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two great Yeats Family Sales of 2017 and the legacy of the Yeats family’s 80-year tradition of generosity to Ireland’s great cultural institutions provide the kaleidoscope through which these advanced research essays find their theme. Hannah Sullivan’s brilliant history of Yeats’s versecraft challenges Poundian definitions of Modernism; Denis Donoghue offers unique family memories of 1916 whilst tracing the political significance of the Easter Rising; Anita Feldman addresses Yeats’s responses to the Rising’s appropriation of his symbols and myths, the daring artistry of his ritual drama developed from Noh, his poetry of personal utterance, and his vision of art as a body reborn rather than a treasure preserved amid the testing of the illusions that hold civilizations together in ensuing wars. Warwick Gould looks at Yeats as founding Senator in the new Free State, and his valiant struggle against the literary censorship law of 1929 (with its present-day legacy of Irish anti-blasphemy law still presenting a constitutional challenge). Drawing on Gregory Estate documents, James Pethica looks at the evictions which preceded Yeats’s purchase of Thoor Ballylee in Galway; Lauren Arrington looks back at Yeats, Ezra Pound, and the Ghosts of The Winding Stair (1929) in Rapallo. Having co-edited both versions of A Vision, Catherine Paul offers some profound reflections on ‘Yeats and Belief’. Grevel Lindop provides a pioneering view of Yeats’s impact on English mystical verse and on Charles Williams who, while at Oxford University Press, helped publish the Oxford Book of Modern Verse. Stanley van der Ziel looks at the presence of Shakespeare in Yeats’s Purgatory. William H. O’Donnell examines the vexed textual legacy of his late work, On the Boiler while Gould considers the challenge Yeats’s intentionalism posed for once-fashionable post-structuralist editorial theory. John Kelly recovers a startling autobiographical short story by Maud Gonne. While nine works of current biographical, textual and literary scholarship are reviewed, Maud Gonne is the focus of debate for two reviewers, as are Eva Gore-Booth, Constance and Casimir Markievicz, Rudyard Kipling, David Jones, T. S. Eliot and his presence on the radio.

Download or read book The Old Curiosity Shop written by Charles Dickens and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1997-11-13 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old Curiosity Shop was expanded from a short tale to save Dickens's failing periodical Master Humphrey's Clock (1840-1); it is the first of his novels of which the complete manuscript, many corrected proofs, and some working notes survive. This makes it uniquely interesting to both the textual critic and general reader. Forster's Life of Dickens played down the novelist's dependence on his friend's help, but the proofs reveal at first hand the nature of Forster's assistance as well as Dickens's own practice. In conjunction with the manuscript, which contains two previously unprinted notes to his publisher, they show Dickens dealing with the unexpected demands of weekly serialization of an unplanned, full-length novel. This is most obvious as he approaches the death of Little Nell, in whose fate both he and his readers became emotionally involved. This is the first edition to benefit from the recent revelation of material which Dickens had himself obscured or discarded on manuscript versos, and the first to scrutinize the importance and impact of the wood engravings dropped into the text.

Samples of the types of agreements include commissioning, production, distribution and sponsorship agreements, exclusive licences, location access, buyouts and assignments, merchandising and sub-licensing to third parties. It is a great stepping stone from a contract law course – and a useful training tool and resource as it helps you understand the actual issues and the variety of choices which are made relating to copyright and contracts in the real world. This book will fast track your ability to understand copyright, rights and contracts to another level and be used routinely for inspiration and ideas. The clauses will help you protect your copyright, limit your liability, restrict the scope of an indemnity and encourage you to increase your potential revenue.

There are numerous definitions including Rights, Gross Receipts, Territory and Title. You are able to research potential topics by name and use the extensive cross references in the index. The whole purpose of this book is to help you understand what terms you could negotiate which are to your advantage; to be able to propose actual clauses when you ask for amendments to a contract; and to ensure that you draft documents which cover all the important topics. The aim is to improve your background knowledge of contract drafting which in turn will develop your negotiation skills. Each clause in this book is like a building block in the steps to create a contract. Clauses are deliberatedly drafted in a wide variety of ways – and favour one party or the other. There are eight new articles; a new section on Codes and Policies and hundreds of new clauses.
