Download or read book CLASSIC BRITISH POETRY written by Industrial Systems Research and published by Industrial Systems Research. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ISR Modernized Poetic Masterpieces series – beautifully readable modern prose translations of renowned verses from the 14th to the 19th centuries Classic poems are priceless cultural artifacts – on par with great books, paintings, musical compositions, and films. They help communicate the beliefs, values, and experiences of people from bygone eras. They provide insights into different times, places, and circumstances that resonate even today. Classic verses not only connect us to the general cultures of countries but also the diverse attitudes and opinions of individuals within those cultural contexts. Nonetheless, understanding such verses can be challenging because of archaic words, outdated grammar, or complex and unconventional syntax. This book presents around 800 significant British poems dating from the Middle Ages to late Victorian times modernized in prose format to improve their readability and understandability. By definition, classic poems have garnered much acclaim over the years. They may have excelled in capturing the essence of individual emotions or made observations and comments in remarkably vibrant ways. Overall, this anthology represents a diverse group of authors with some extraordinary abilities and insights into nature, individuals, society, politics, and a range of other matters. In the NATURE chapter, the collection includes outstanding poems from luminaries such as William Wordsworth, John Keats, and Percy Bysshe Shelley. It also features many less-known writers who have drawn inspiration from the awe-inspiring beauty, changing seasons, and landscapes of the natural world. After nature, LOVE AND ROMANCE has been another perennially important theme in British poetry. The anthology features poems by William Shakespeare, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and many others on the intense yearnings, hopes, and sorrows of lovers. Relations with nature and experiences of love, rejection, health, and DEATH AND MORTALITY are major sources of human HAPPINESS AND SORROW. Many poets have explored these subjects – often connecting them with SPIRITUALITY AND RELIGION. From Chaucer and Milton to Wordsworth and Gray, writers have fearlessly confronted significant SOCIAL AND POLITICAL concerns. They have spoken about rights and freedoms, tyranny, justice and injustice, and the nature and causes of WAR AND CONFLICT. British poetry has featured many captivating stories about individual courage and moral problems, hope, love, and the triumphing of good over evil. Finally, poets have often found inspiration in MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE. They have used ancient tales, legends, and folklore as foundations for fresh stories and commentaries on contemporary themes. Some verses blend multiple styles. Individual writers have developed new genres and experimented with novel lyric forms and content materials. Nonetheless, certain great themes and preoccupations have remained remarkably consistent in poetic literature over the centuries.

Download or read book A Book of Liszts written by John Spurling and published by Seagull World Literature. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraordinary career of Franz Liszt (1811-86) as a composer, conductor, and virtuoso pianist--whose incomparable skill and personal charisma dazzled audiences all over Europe, from London and Paris to Berlin, Moscow, and even Constantinople--made him the nineteenth-century equivalent of a modern international pop star. In the spirit of Liszt's own innovative compositions and sparkling piano transcriptions of other composers' work, John Spurling here takes up the ambitious task of writing a fictionalized biography of Liszt's life. Liszt himself once said, "My biography is more to be invented than written after the fact," and Spurling's fifteen self-contained chapters--themselves virtuoso performances in a variety of styles from a variety of viewpoints--capture precisely this notion of innovation and creativity. Spurling tells of Liszt's mesmeric effect on audiences, his notorious love affairs with remarkable women, and his fraught friendship with Richard Wagner, who deeply offended Liszt by seducing and eventually marrying his daughter Cosima. Inspired by Spurling's own fascination with Liszt's music, A Book of Liszts is a highly original, imaginative, and multifaceted portrait of a humorous, romantic, and passionate genius whose work and life is still not as well known as it deserves to be.

Download or read book Farewell Mr Puffin written by Paul Heiney and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It would be hard to imagine a more thoughtful, intelligent and companionable person to go to sea with than Paul Heiney.' Bill Bryson 'High comedy on the high seas. Informative and warm and freezing. It's quite a combination.' Griff Rhys Jones The puffin is the joker amongst the seabirds of the north Atlantic, but what is happening to this much-loved bird is far from a laughing matter. This is the conclusion of writer and broadcaster, Paul Heiney, who set sail from the east coast of England bound for Iceland, propelled by a desire to breathe the cool, clear air of the high latitudes, and to follow in the wake of generations of sailors who have made this often treacherous journey since the 13th century. In almost every harbour he tripped over maritime history and anecdote, and came face to face with his own past as he sailed north along his childhood coastline of east Yorkshire towards the Arctic Circle. But there was one major thing missing from this voyage - the sight of puffins. They are remarkable birds, uplifting as a ray of sunshine after a storm. To see them and share their waters was also part of Heiney's ambition. Imagine then his disappointment when, first, no puffins appeared off the Farne Islands, then none to be seen on puffin hotspots like Orkney. When he failed to see puffins on Iceland, it was the last straw, and he started to become seriously concerned. Heiney senses that a new chapter is about to be written, and it is one in which we may have to say farewell to the puffin forever. This book is rich in travel and sailing narrative, natural and social history, and with a strong undercurrent of good humour. It provides not only an insight into the private life of the puffin, but an honest portrait of human life on the ocean waves, as well as a reflection on what we might lose if the puffin disappears from our icy northern waters.
