Download or read book The Soul Exceeds Its Circumstances written by Eugene O'Brien and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Soul Exceeds its Circumstances brings together sixteen of the most prominent scholars who have written on Seamus Heaney to examine the Nobel Prize winner’s later poetry from a variety of critical and theoretical perspectives. While a great deal of attention has been devoted to Heaney’s early and middle poems—the Bog Poems in particular—this book focuses on the poetry collected in Heaney's Seeing Things (1991), The Spirit Level (1996), Electric Light (2001), District and Circle (2006), and Human Chain (2010) as a thematically connected set of writings. The starting point of the essays in this collection is that these later poems can be grouped in terms of style, theme, approach, and intertextuality. They develop themes that were apparent in Heaney’s earlier work, but they also break with these themes and address issues that are radically different from those of the earlier collections. The essays are divided into five sections, focusing on ideas of death, the later style, translation and transnational poetics, luminous things and gifts, and usual and unusual spaces. A number of the contributors see Heaney as stressing the literary over the actual and as always looking at the interstices and positions of liminality and complexity. His use of literary references in his later poetry exemplifies his search for literary avatars against whom he can test his own ideas and with whom he can enter into an aesthetic and ethical dialogue. The essayists cover a great deal of Heaney’s debts to classical and modern literature—in the original languages and in translations—and demonstrate the degree to which the streets on which Heaney walked and wrote were two-way: he was influenced by Virgil, Petrarch, Milosz, Wordsworth, Keats, Rilke, and others and, in turn, had an impact on contemporary poets. This remarkable collection will appeal to scholars and literary critics, undergraduates as well as graduate students, and to the many general readers of Heaney's poetry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most comprehensive volume on one of the most controversial directors in American film history A Companion to D.W. Griffith offers an exhaustive look at the first acknowledged auteur of the cinema and provides an authoritative account of the director’s life, work, and lasting filmic legacy. The text explores how Griffith’s style and status advanced along with cinema’s own development during the years when narrative became the dominant mode, when the short gave way to the feature, and when film became the pre-eminent form of mass entertainment. Griffith was at the centre of each of these changes: though a contested figure, he remains vital to any understanding of how cinema moved from nickelodeon fixture to a national pastime, playing a significant role in the cultural ethos of America. With the renewed interest in Griffith’s contributions to the film industry, A Companion to D.W. Griffith offers a scholarly look at a career that spanned more than 25 years. The editor, a leading scholar on D.W. Griffith, and the expert contributors collectively offer a unique account of one of the monumental figures in film studies. Presents the most authoritative, complete account of the director’s life, work, and lasting legacy Builds on the recent resurgence in the director’s scholarly and popular reputation Edited by a leading authority on D.W.

Download or read book House on the Hill The Poetry of Ville Marie written by Danielle Merriott and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-01-28 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two best friends, Danielle and Lisa, decided to become roommates. Their apartment (named Ville Marie) was in a dilapidated old house on the crest of a hill overlooking their small city of Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Writing poetry was one of their favorite pastimes. Often full of angst or sadness, poetry was a therapeutic outlet to indulge creativity as well as melancholy emotions. This book is a collection of Danielle's poetry from those days in Ville Marie - From the last days of summer 2004, to the autumn days of adjusting to their new life, to the cold, bleak winter without reliable heat and too many reasons to cry, to the poignancy of moving onward with life and leaving Ville Marie in the past... Despite all the despondency that comes through in her words, the book does end with a happier tone - since, after all, she also fell in love at Ville Marie...

Download or read book Buffy the Vampire Slayer written by Christopher Golden and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001-11-27 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenal success of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is owing to a great extent to the quality of the writing. Robert Hanks, TV critic of The Independent, wrote in September 2000: "One of the most consistently brilliant piece of popular entertainment ever... it mixes these broad emotions with real sadness, shifting from wisecracks to loss, self-doubt and utter loneliness without missing a beat. It would be absurd to compare the show's writing to Shakespeare, but there aren't many other precedents for the way it refuses to observer the conventional divisions between comedy and tragedy." The Observer acknowledged the same qualities: "Pulling off these shifts in tone from humour to horror to high emotion is a tribute to the strength of the writing." The Buffy scripts are as rewarding and as entertaining on the page as they are on screen. Now thanks to Pocket Books' volume-by-volume publication of the complete collected scripts from the show, fans can savour every moment of high emotion or of wisecracking quick-fire dialogue. With the added bonus of the original production notes and scenes that were cut from the final aired episodes for length, these are essential reading for all students of TV scriptwriting and a must for Buffy's devoted legion of fans. SEASON 2 VOLUME 2 contains the following six scripts: Lie To Me: The Dark Age: What's My Line Part 1: What's My Line Part 2: Ted: and Bad Eggs.

Download or read book Heine written by Heinrich Heine and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'One of the first men of this century' is how Heine described himself when he claimed to have been born in the early hours of 1800. It was typical of Heine to create this humorous doubt - he was in fact born in 1797. He was a restless and homeless poet, a Jew among Germans, a German in Paris, a rebel among the bourgeoisie and always, as his famous doppelgänger poems show, a man divided against himself. This selection, with the German originals accompanied by English prose translations, provides the perfect introduction to Heine. He can be magnificent as an acute, irreverent commentator on politics and current events, though his genius most often strikes home in the poems filled with despair, or sensuality, or sweetness, or self-mockery, in which he draws out the whole gamut of emotions provoked by love and immanent death.
