This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Collected Poems, Lyrical and Narrative, of A. Mary F. Robinson (Madame Duclaux): With a Preface and Portrait We cannot all be great poets but the humblest, it they be sincere, may give a genuine pleasure. I have marked in red the days on which I discovered certain poets, most certainly minor, who died centuries ago. With what delight I made acquaintance with Ausonius and Dr. Donne, still more so with joachim de Bellay, Marie de France, or Shahid the Bactrian: dear, en chanting books, exhumed from the dustiest corner of the library, that never counted on me for an audience. I may have to wait as long till I repay my debt to some other student who perchance, beside a bookstall of Cape Town or Honolulu, may fish my poems from the fourpenny box, or light on them in some anthology. But I count on his appreciation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mary's Vision: A Poem "So, 't was an idle dream" - well, dreams have been A power that shaped the destinies of men. A Pharaoh dreamed, a captive Hebrew heard, That skilled in dreams, interpreted the word, And stores of corn in Egypt's garners grew, That plenty's hand to suppliant famine threw; And Judah lived, and Judah's line gave birth To Him whose kingdom fills the heavens and earth. A sightless beggar dreamed of Helen's charms And Illion's fall; and skilled in arts and arms, A State grew up, whose influence will expire When the last mortal sees a world on fire. When idle visions of a midnight hour, Saved the Redeemer from a tyrant's power; A long predicted empire sprung to view, And hoary time began to count anew Creation's annals, from a kingdom's rise, Whose grand emporium is in the skies; Its borders unexplored - and none will write, (No future Gibbon, ) "Here, it reached its height: About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Eleanor H Porter s Pollyanna written by Roxanne Harde and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appearing first as a weekly serial in The Christian Herald, Eleanor H. Porter's Pollyanna was first published in book form in 1913. This popular story of an impoverished orphan girl who travels from America's western frontier to live with her wealthy maternal Aunt Polly in the fictional east coast town of Beldingsville went through forty-seven printings in seven years and remains in print today in its original version, as well as in various translations and adaptations. The story's enduring appeal lies in Pollyanna's sunny personality and in her glad game, her playful attempt to accentuate the positive in every situation. In celebration of its centenary, this collection of thirteen original essays examines a wide variety of the novel's themes and concerns, as well as adaptations in film, manga, and translation. In this edited collection on Pollyanna, internationally respected and emerging scholars of children's literature consider Porter's work from modern critical perspectives. Contributors focus primarily on the novel itself but also examine Porter's sequel, Pollyanna Grows Up, and the various film versions and translations of the novel. With backgrounds in children's literature, cultural and film studies, philosophy, and religious studies, these scholars extend critical thinking about Porter's work beyond the thematic readings that have dominated previous scholarship. In doing so, the authors approach the novel from theoretical perspectives that examine what happens when Pollyanna engages with the world around her—her community and the natural environment—exposing the implicit philosophical, religious, and nationalist ideologies of the era in which Pollyanna was written. The final section is devoted to studies of adaptations of Porter's protagonist.
Download or read book To Mary in Heaven Classic Reprint written by Robert Burns and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from To Mary in Heaven A fire of fierce and laughing light That clove the shuddering heart of night Leapt earthward and the thunder's might That pants and yearns Made fitful music round its flight - And earth saw Burns. - Swinburne Robert Burns was the great leader in the movement that advocated the Brotherhood of Man and liberty of mind and speech for the individual. He was the great poet of the masses, - not of the masses alone, but of all men everywhere. Lord Rosebery, speaking in Glasgow, said: "I have often asked myself if a roll-call of fame were read over at the beginning of every century, how many men of eminence would answer a second time to their names; but of our poet there is no doubt or question. The Adsum of Burns rings out clear and unchallenged. There are few before him on the list, and we cannot now conceive of a list without him."

Download or read book A People s History of Classics written by Edith Hall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A People’s History of Classics explores the influence of the classical past on the lives of working-class people, whose voices have been almost completely excluded from previous histories of classical scholarship and pedagogy, in Britain and Ireland from the late 17th to the early 20th century. This volume challenges the prevailing scholarly and public assumption that the intimate link between the exclusive intellectual culture of British elites and the study of the ancient Greeks and Romans and their languages meant that working-class culture was a ‘Classics-Free Zone’. Making use of diverse sources of information, both published and unpublished, in archives, museums and libraries across the United Kingdom and Ireland, Hall and Stead examine the working-class experience of classical culture from the Bill of Rights in 1689 to the outbreak of World War II. They analyse a huge volume of data, from individuals, groups, regions and activities, in a huge range of sources including memoirs, autobiographies, Trade Union collections, poetry, factory archives, artefacts and documents in regional museums. This allows a deeper understanding not only of the many examples of interaction with the Classics, but also what these cultural interactions signified to the working poor: from the promise of social advancement, to propaganda exploited by the elites, to covert and overt class war. A People’s History of Classics offers a fascinating and insightful exploration of the many and varied engagements with Greece and Rome among the working classes in Britain and Ireland, and is a must-read not only for classicists, but also for students of British and Irish social, intellectual and political history in this period. Further, it brings new historical depth and perspectives to public debates around the future of classical education, and should be read by anyone with an interest in educational policy in Britain today.
