Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The power of nature and the forces that make our earth and environment appear to have come home to the author in his retirement. The clarity of his vision separates the material world from the true spiritual meaning of his surroundings. The verses of the weather, his garden, friends both living and deceased, his love for socializing with food, wine and his work are beautifully spelled out in verse. His verses speak of the passion, hurt and even melancholy that is in everyone of our lives. Darryl is lucky to have found the true meaning for human existence in our environment on this lonely planet that is so small compared with the billions of stars in the cosmos. He knows that the human soul is here for eternity. Seek the comfort from the sun, wind, sea, birds, animals and the flowers and enjoy all with a glass of nature's gift to mankind a glass of red wine, cheese and whole some bread. "This book will keep you enthralled with it's humour, personal accounts about everyday activities of humans in their ingenuity and peculiarities." The Senns (on their round the world trip)

Download or read book First Readers of Shakespeare s Sonnets 1590 1790 written by Faith D. Acker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than four centuries, cultural preferences, literary values, critical contexts, and personal tastes have governed readers’ responses to Shakespeare’s sonnets. Early private readers often considered these poems in light of the religious, political, and humanist values by which they lived. Other seventeenth- and eighteenth- century readers, such as stationers and editors, balanced their personal literary preferences against the imagined or actual interests of the literate public to whom they marketed carefully curated editions of the sonnets, often successfully. Whether public or private, however, many disparate sonnet interpretations from the sonnets’ first two centuries in print have been overlooked by modern sonnet scholarship, with its emphasis on narrative and amorous readings of the 1609 sequence. First Readers of Shakespeare’s Sonnets reintroduces many early readings of Shakespeare’s sonnets, arguing that studying the priorities and interpretations of these previous readers expands the modern critical applications of these poems, thereby affording them numerous future applications. This volume draws upon book history, manuscript studies, and editorial theory to recover four lost critical approaches to the sonnets, highlighting early readers’ interests in Shakespeare’s classical adaptations, political applicability, religious themes, and rhetorical skill during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Download or read book The Self and the Sonnet written by Rajan Barrett and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-13 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Self and the Sonnet is an interdisciplinary study which considers the sonnet, a near eight hundred year old form, and looks at the historical meanderings and the popularity of the form among cultures that are far removed from the location of its origin in Italy. The book tracks the notion of the self from its Platonic beginnings to the Postmodern, using insights from Charles Taylor, Brian Morris and Calvin O. Schrag so as to work out a model of the self. Jan Patočka’s phenomenological notions of the self and Chaos Theory are important cohesive elements in the composition of this model. A limit point in Mathematics is a point that is not in the set around which all the points cluster. The book looks at the self from the limit points of the body, mind, world and language. It analyzes sonnets which predominantly show a tendency to one of these limit points. However, it keeps in mind the other limit points as possibilities of a comprehensive analysis. The motivation for this body of research comes primarily from the notion of the sonnet being a form that initially exists along with the epic as canonical writers of literary epics also write sonnets. The historic and narrative moment of self in sonnet form calls for a questioning of both the self and the sonnet. The book tries to address the questions: ‘What changes in the notion of self prompt the origin and persistence of the sonnet across cultures?’ and ‘Why and how is this form compatible with a self that is postmodern and global?’ The Anglo-American sonnet, for the most, is addressed but cultures and their attendant forms are also addressed when considering the sonnet. The Arabic zajal, the Persian ghazal, the Chinese sonnet and the Korean Sijo-sonnet are forms that are touched upon along with the Indian postcolonial versions like the forms of the sonnet in Modern Indian Languages such as Bangla, Gujarati and Marathi.
