Download or read book Selected Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins with Modern English Paraphrases written by Gerard Manley Hopkins and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Walhout writes of his first series of Hopkins paraphrases that it contained twenty of his most difficult poems. This second series includes all of the remaining early poetry and unfinished poetry from Hopkin's major poetic period. It is designed to reduce the difficulty in understanding the poems by offering complete paraphrases. The purpose is somewhat similar to that of giving a modern version of the Bible compared with, say, the King James Version. My first series of Hopkins paraphrases contains twenty of the most difficult poems. This second series includes all of the remaining poems from Hopkins's major poetic period beginning with The Wreck of the Deutschland in 1875, which was a turning point both in his decision to write poetry and in his distinctive style. The occasional poems, though not ranking high in Hopkins's own estimation, are included here because they reflect the distinctive style. Hopkins produced other poetical work, which is usually classified into early poetry and unfinished poetry. The early poetry seems less urgent for paraphrasing. As for the unfinished poems, it may seem presumptuous to paraphrase poems which Hopkins himself did not perfect. Neverthe

This book was released on 1986 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gerard Manley Hopkins was one of the most creative and influential writers of the nineteenth century. This important new edition contains all of his poetry--including such celebrated works as "The Wreck of the Deutschland", "The Windhover", and "Felix Randall"--arranged for the first time in chronological order showing the range of his poetic interests and talents at each stage of his tragically short life. Catherine Phillips has consulted the original manuscripts in order to present accurate versions of the poems and to reveal the poet's own taste more clearly than in previous editions. She has also selected passages which elucidate the poetry from Hopkins's journals, sermons, and letters. From these the reader gains a strong sense of the poet's personality and the breadth of his intellectual pursuits."--Back cover.

Download or read book A New Midrashic Reading of Geoffrey Chaucer written by Norman Toby Simms and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers a novel interpretation of Chaucer as a "fuzzy Jew", a conflicted descendant of Conversos, who created the complex antisemitic character of the Prioress. Following a psycho-historical approach, suggests that the Prioress was raped as a child by a father-figure and that she projects the blame onto the Jews, who were demonized by her society. Associates child victimization with the alleged victimization felt by Chaucer for his own suffering as a child belonging to a group that had to conceal its identity. In view of Chaucer's putative Jewish heritage, offers kabbalistic perspectives on his work.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American 1920s had many names: the Roaring Twenties, the Jazz Age, the Dry Decade, and the Flapper generation. Whatever the moniker, these years saw the birth of modern America. This volume shows the many colorful ways the decade altered America, its people, and its future. American Popular Culture Through History volumes include a timeline, cost comparisons, chapter bibliographies, and a subject index. Writers as diverse as Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, and Damon Runyon presented distinct literary visions of the world. Jazz, blues, and country music erupted onto the airwaves. The exploits of Babe Ruth and Murderers' Row helped save baseball from its scandals, while such players as Red Grange and Notre Dame's Four Horsemen brought football to national prominence. Yo-yos, crossword puzzles, and erector sets appeared, along with fads like dance marathons and flagpole sitting. Rudolph Valentino, talkies, and Clara BoW's It girl appeared on the silver screen. Prohibition indirectly led to bootlegging and speakeasies, while the growing rebelliousness of teenagers highlighted an increasing generation gap.

Download or read book The Letters Life and Works of John Oldmixon written by Mr. Oldmixon (John) and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the present volume reveals in remarkable detail life was immensely precarious for those who tried to make their living by the pen. Party writers rarely received adequate remuneration for their pains, and Oldmixon, always short of money, was reduced to writing supplicating letters to publishers such as genial Jacob Tonson. It is letters such as these which, when taken in conjunction with Oldmixon's own Memoirs of the Press (1742), offer unique details about the life of the professional writer, and reveal the significance of the sub-title of Professor Rogers's book: Politics and Professional Authorship in Early Hanoverian England. Hardship had forced Oldmixon to turn from writing plays and poetry to writing political pamphlets and essays. Yet despite submitting to labour at the Press like a Horse in a Mill (as James Ralph graphically put it)Oldmixon was never financially secure.
Download or read book Thomas Hardy s The Dorsetshire Labourer and Wessex written by Roger Lowman and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born and brought up in a village-tradesman family, he broke away, re-inventing himself first as a professional architect, and then as a successful man of letters. The imagined societies of his rural novels are significantly selective: he ignores, marginalizes, or treats dismissively the mass of rural poor, the agricultural labourers, whose condition was a running concern of the nineteenth century. His novels focus on the independent group to which his family belonged: 'an interesting and better-informed class, ranking distinctly above' the agricultural labourers, as he pointedly tells us. His fictions are coloured with a rich rural conservatism where social attitudes are concerned. Hardy's Wessex countryside is to be valued as metaphor, not reportage: for the latter we have to turn to that huge bulk of contemporary material highlighting the situation of the agricultural poor, nowhere more severely felt than in Dorset. It is no wonder that his early readers were puzzled.
