Book excerpt: Revised and updated! Featuring four new, never before published works, this edition of L.E. Harrison's poetry and short story collection features the edited text of the previous edition, along with commentary from the author. L.E. Harrison’s poetry and short story collection spans four decades of writing and publishing. It begins in 1983 with the poem, SHADOW (written when she was fifteen), and ends in 2019 with A WRITER’S LAMENT. KNOWLEDGE OF THE GODS was written in 1997 as an homage to horror writer, Stephen King. The stories I and FAST FORWARD/REWIND reflect collective, as well as individual, spiritual journeys. The stories NINE DAYS, GUILLOTINE, DELUSIONS GRANDER, and THE OTHER ARTHUR: PART ONE blend dark humor and magic realism with touches of surrealism. Each poem is a snapshot of a thought, an exploration of an idea, or a deeply personal attempt to answer a universal question. This collection is an intimate look into the mind and heart of one of the most unique voices of a generation. Reviews: John J. Rinck 5.0 out of 5 stars Tha-thump, tha-thump, tha-thump... March 27, 2013 Format: Paperback Verified Purchase This collection of "uncollected" thoughts gives a rare glimpse of the birth and evolution of an artist. Composed of three parts, one for each self-defined era of her life, LE Harrison evolves from a young, poetic writer with a skeptical yet hopeful view of the world, to an older and wiser sage that still clings to hope, though seems now to have figured out that much of her skepticism was in many ways well perceived. In "Rainbows", written in 1984, the author shows an insight into her early skeptical view of the world with the line "Artists that bloom with a song in their midst capture the feelings I know don't exist." Yet by the time she writes "I", many years later, she seems to acknowledge the important role of artistic expression, though going not so far as to condone its true motivations. However, this is not a book to read linearly or all at once, nor is there a defined pattern. The true beauty of this collection lies in the ability to be able to randomly flip through the book and be able to have your mood set by whatever page you land on. You will question mankind in "I", and will laugh at mankind in "Nine Days". You will see yourself in this book, even if you don't at first realize it.
Download or read book The Uncollected Essays of Elizabeth Hardwick written by Elizabeth Hardwick and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays on music, art, pop culture, literature, and politics by the renowned essayist and observer of contemporary life, now collected together for the first time. The Uncollected Essays of Elizabeth Hardwick is a companion collection to The Collected Essays, a book that proved a revelation of what, for many, had been an open secret: that Elizabeth Hardwick was one of the great American literary critics, and an extraordinary stylist in her own right. The thirty-five pieces that Alex Andriesse has gathered here—none previously featured in volumes of Hardwick’s work—make it clear that her powers extended far beyond literary criticism, encompassing a vast range of subjects, from New York City to Faye Dunaway, from Wagner’s Parsifal to Leonardo da Vinci’s inventions, and from the pleasures of summertime to grits soufflé. In these often surprising, always well-wrought essays, we see Hardwick’s passion for people and places, her politics, her thoughts on feminism, and her ability, especially from the 1970s on, to write well about seemingly anything.

Download or read book The Collected Essays of Elizabeth Hardwick written by Elizabeth Hardwick and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first-ever collection of essays from across Elizabeth Hardwick's illustrious writing career, including works not seen in print for decades. A New York Times Notable Book of 2017 Elizabeth Hardwick wrote during the golden age of the American literary essay. For Hardwick, the essay was an imaginative endeavor, a serious form, criticism worthy of the literature in question. In the essays collected here she covers civil rights demonstrations in the 1960s, describes places where she lived and locations she visited, and writes about the foundations of American literature—Melville, James, Wharton—and the changes in American fiction, though her reading is wide and international. She contemplates writers’ lives—women writers, rebels, Americans abroad—and the literary afterlife of biographies, letters, and diaries. Selected and with an introduction by Darryl Pinckney, the Collected Essays gathers more than fifty essays for a fifty-year retrospective of Hardwick’s work from 1953 to 2003. “For Hardwick,” writes Pinckney, “the poetry and novels of America hold the nation’s history.” Here is an exhilarating chronicle of that history.

Download or read book The Radical Twenties written by John Lucas and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies writers from the 1920s with regard to their political radicalism. Draws on the works of D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Townsend Warner, and Patrick Hamilton, among others, to identify the decade as a time of both political activism and of deliberately transgressive behavior, particularly among women. Meets head-on the argument of earlier commentators who take for granted the post-war decade as defined by cynicism and hedonism, and looks at the work and lifestyles of those determined to find ways out of despair.

Download or read book The Critical Thought of W B Yeats written by Wit Pietrzak and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on W. B. Yeats’s critical writings, an aspect of his oeuvre which has been given limited treatment so far. It traces his critical work from his earliest articles, through to his occult treatises, and all the way to his last pamphlets, in which he sought to delineate the idea of a literary culture: a community of people willing to credit poetry with the central role in imagining and organising social praxis throughout society. The chapters of this study investigate the contexts in which Yeats’s thought developed, his many disputes over the shape of Irish cultural politics, the future of poetry and the place literature occupies in the world. What transpires is an image of Yeats who is strung between the impulses of faith in the existence of a supernatural order and ironic scepticism as to the possibility of ever capturing that order in language. This study is distinguished by its grounding of Yeats's critical agenda in a broader context through textual analysis. In addition, it organises and systematises his conceptions of poetry and its social role through its approach to his criticism as a fully-fledged area of his artistic practice. The monograph has been written within the framework of the project financed by The National Science Centre, Cracow, Poland, pursuant to the decision number DEC-2013/09/D/HS2/02782.

Download or read book National Identity and Political Thought in Germany written by Mark Hewitson and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2000-10-05 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This original study examines the interrelationship between the construction of national identity and the transformation of political thought in Germany before the First World War. During the decade or so before the war, the German Empire was challlenged openly by both left and right for the first time since the 1870s. Paradoxically, however, this pre-war crisis of Germanys system of government occurred during a period of increasing nationalism, which created a solid cross-party basis of support for the Empire as a nation-state. This pioneering study argues that Wilhelmine debates about the reform of the German Empire can only be understood in the context of a broader discussion and comparison of European and American political regimes which took place in Germany after the turn of the century. In such contemporary debates about a German Sonderwag, France remained a principal point of reference because French-style parliamentarism had come to be viewed as the main alternative to German constitutionalism. By analysing Wilhelmine depictions of the Third Republic, Dr Hewitson revises accepted interpretations of German politics and nationalism.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Russian Religious Thought written by Caryl Emerson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Russian Religious Thought is an authoritative new reference and interpretive volume detailing the origins, development, and influence of one of the richest aspects of Russian cultural and intellectual life - its religious ideas. After setting the historical background and context, the Handbook follows the leading figures and movements in modern Russian religious thought through a period of immense historical upheavals, including seventy years of officially atheist communist rule and the growth of an exiled diaspora with, e.g., its journal The Way. Therefore the shape of Russian religious thought cannot be separated from long-running debates with nihilism and atheism. Important thinkers such as Losev and Bakhtin had to guard their words in an environment of religious persecution, whilst some views were shaped by prison experiences. Before the Soviet period, Russian national identity was closely linked with religion - linkages which again are being forged in the new Russia. Relevant in this connection are complex relationships with Judaism. In addition to religious thinkers such as Philaret, Chaadaev, Khomiakov, Kireevsky, Soloviev, Florensky, Bulgakov, Berdyaev, Shestov, Frank, Karsavin, and Alexander Men, the Handbook also looks at the role of religion in aesthetics, music, poetry, art, film, and the novelists Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. Ideas, institutions, and movements discussed include the Church academies, Slavophilism and Westernism, theosis, the name-glorifying (imiaslavie) controversy, the God-seekers and God-builders, Russian religious idealism and liberalism, and the Neopatristic school. Occultism is considered, as is the role of tradition and the influence of Russian religious thought in the West.

Book excerpt: A witch and a son of Corvus must combine their powers to defeat the witch goddess and save the souls of the Merulas trapped in the Shadowlands. As host of the newscast, The Scoop At Five: Live!, Catriona Remington prefers to show the world a brave face. Inside she's barely keeping it together, worrying over the fates of Sarina and Jonathan Lance, who are trapped in the dimension of Blackwater Hills. When she receives disturbing news from the senior Medicus of Blackwater castle, Catriona enlists J. Lance Sr.'s help to infiltrate the dimension of the children of Corvus and aid her friends. But an irresistible attraction to Samuel Singleton, the newly crowned leader of the tribe, awakens a power she's been suppressing since leaving the coven. When Catriona follows Samuel into the Shadowlands, she finds herself at the mercy of the witch goddess and her demons. To save his father's spirit and protect his mate, Samuel must learn to embrace his power and his duty to his tribe as the Merula. He must also learn to accept Bestiae—the god-like part of himself he can't control. Can Catriona be the bridge that ends the feud between the children of Corvus and the daughters of Venefica? Or will her presence in Blackwater Hills irreparably damage the Balance and provoke the wrath of the Raven of Otherworld? Book three in the award-winning contemporary fantasy trilogy about a tribe of shapeshifters in northern Maine, USA. An IHIBRP 5-Star Recommended Read.
Download or read book The Marriage of Sense and Thought written by Stephen Edelglass and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Perception of the idea within the actual is the true communion of the human being" --Goethe Religious ritual is often seen as a way of bringing divine influences down into the material world. In this profound and stimulating work, Rudolf Steiner and Friedrich Benesch introduce the idea of "reverse ritual"--a way that each of us can raise our souls to the spiritual realm. In this process, the everyday world becomes a portal through which we can enter the dimension of the sacred. Here, each of us can be a "priest," and each of our actions can be a cosmic, ritual act. This stimulating collection of writings on spiritual communion of humanity includes two further lectures by Steiner that show how this process can engage our social lives. Also included are two additional essays as appendices: "Sacramental and Spiritual Communion" by Dietrich Asten and "Human Encounters and Karma" by Athys Floride. The introduction by Christopher Schaefer brings these ideas into focus for modern seekers.
