Download or read book Death and the Downs written by Charles Hamilton Sorley and published by Yogh & Thorn Press. This book was released on 2010-08-02 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Hamilton Sorley's poetic career was cut short when he was killed by a sniper's bullet in the Battle of Loos in 1915. He was 20 years old. Robert Graves called Sorley one of the three important poets killed in World War I. Although Sorley's war-related poems continue to appear in many anthologies, his collected poems have been unavailable for many decades. Sorley's nature poems about the Wiltshire landscape, and his thoughtful poems and letters, engaging him with classical and Biblical texts, Goethe, Ibsen, Jefferies, Masefield, Hardy and other writers, show a young poet of discernment and promise. Sorley's war poems are skeptical of the folly of war and refute the war fever of his era. This annotated edition was prepared to help today's reader navigate the cultural terrain of Britain during World War I. Footnotes include unfamiliar terms, place names, historic references, classical and Biblical allusions. Additional materials include biographical notes, an annotated checklist of critical reception of Sorley's writing, juvenilia, and selected letters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Making of Servant and Other Poems was first published in the early 1970's when Zithobile Qangule and Walter Saunders were fellow lecturers at the University of South Africa in Pretoria - the spiritual heart of Apartheid but with a growing 'verligte' or 'enlightened' element. One day Zithobile sent him a Xhosa poem he had translated into English for publication in Ophir, a radical independent anti-apartheid poetry magazine, which Saunders co-edited with Peter Horn and Michael Macnamara. The poem was The Making of a Servant by J.J.R. Jolobe. What a stunning poem! Ophir immediately decided to publish it with a selection of other newly-translated Xhosa poems as a small book. Qangule selected six more poems by six other - St J. Page Yako, S.W. Nkuhlu, M.E. Nyoka, Samuel Edward Krune Loliwe Ngxekengxeke Mqhayi, Alfred Zwelinzima Ngani and R.M Tshaka. All the poems Qangule wanted to work on had already been published in Xhosa and some of them translated. But those were the days of apartheid. The publishers included core Afrikaner Nationalist companies, who were making their money producing books for Bantu Education schools. Qangule felt that all the poems were deeply subversive but they had never been translated in English so as to reveal their satire and political commentary. The brief therefore of the translators, Qangule himself and Robert Mshengu Kavanagh, was to translate or re-translate the poems so as to bring this out.

Download or read book Life Studies and For the Union Dead written by Robert Lowell and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007-10-16 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Lowell, with Elizabeth Bishop, stands apart as the greatest American poet of the latter half of the twentieth century—and Life Studies and For the Union Dead stand as among his most important volumes. In Life Studies, which was first published in 1959, Lowell moved away from the formality of his earlier poems and started writing in a more confessional vein. The title poem of For the Union Dead concerns the death of the Civil War hero (and Lowell ancestor) Robert Gould Shaw, but it also largely centers on the contrast between Boston's idealistic past and its debased present at the time of its writing, in the early 1960's. Throughout, Lowell addresses contemporaneous subjects in a voice and style that themselves push beyond the accepted forms and constraints of the time.

Download or read book Stand in the Trench Achilles written by Elizabeth Vandiver and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-02-18 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Vandiver examines the ways in which British poets of the First World War used classical literature, culture, and history as a source of images, ideas, and even phrases for their own poetry. Vandiver argues that classics was a crucial source for writers from a wide variety of backgrounds, from working-class poets to those educated in public schools, and for a wide variety of political positions and viewpoints. Poets used references to classics both to support and to oppose the war from its beginning all the way to the Armistice and after. By exploring the importance of classics in the poetry of the First World War, Vandiver offers a new perspective on that poetry and on the history of classics in British culture.
