By becoming a monument in the past few centuries, William Shakespeare has been ruined for many children and adults alike. Monuments belie the freshness and passion of their original creation. Shakespeare was not immune to common human suffering and harmful desires. Even within the confines of poetic rhyme and the motives he may have had in addressing individuals (or the more lasting audience that he often alludes to), he used the sonnets to both reveal and explore powerful feelings, and ultimately to examine the ways that one may become, while inevitably flawed in some if not most of the areas of our sometimes unscrupulous and often challenging lives, a better person. Shakespeare's Sonnets, like his plays, lead many readers to Bardolatry. Classics among early English poetry and (more modern) romantic poetry, lines found there (like his plays) mark them out as famous poems that are widely known, but some of the most touching, beautiful, or memorable sonnets are likely never to have reached the eyes or ears of most people. Many will agree with Wordsworth's famous line (in his sonnet on the sonnet) that "with this same key Shakespeare unlocked his heart." As outlined in the introduction, the sonnet sequence begins with seventeen that urge a "right fair" youth to reproduce his beauty, and the remaining sonnets until 126 continue to be addressed to this "thou" and "you"; the sonnets after 127 are focussed on the "dark lady," excluding the last two, which are different in tone and are related to Cupid. Sonnet 126 contains only twelve lines rather than fourteen, and so in a sense acts as a deliberate or incidental turning point between the two sections. Several sonnets touching on mortality appear in the sixties, but the great group of sonnets between number 18 (beginning with perhaps the sole line from the sequence that remains at the forefront of popular culture, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?") and 126 describe a wide range of ideas and, in ways that may be surprising to those who are yet to read them, ordinary daily activities that make them intriguing and revelatory every time they are read, whether keeping to the given sequence or opening here and there to sonnets at random, each of which have a claim to being classic poetry and worthy (in their own unique ways) of as much attention as his greatest plays. William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564. His father was John Shakespeare, an alderman and glover, and his mother was Mary Arden, the daughter of a wealthy landowning farmer. William was the third child of eight, and the eldest surviving son. In 1582, he married Anne Hathaway (about whom little is known, beyond her being eight years his senior), and their daughter Susanna was born six months later. Twins Hamnet and Judith followed in 1585; Hamnet died at the age of eleven of unknown causes. The period from 1585 to 1592 is known as Shakespeare's "lost years." His works began to be published and mentioned in the 1590s; he would ultimately write about 38 plays (sometimes in collaboration, likely making uncertain contributions to other plays), two long narrative poems, 154 sonnets, and other short verses. Shakespeare died--within one month of signing his will, and the date his birth is traditionally observed--on 23 April, 1616.

Download or read book The Wake written by Paul Kingsnorth and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A work that is as disturbing as it is empathetic, as beautiful as it is riveting." —Eimear McBride, New Statesman In the aftermath of the Norman Invasion of 1066, William the Conqueror was uncompromising and brutal. English society was broken apart, its systems turned on their head. What is little known is that a fractured network of guerrilla fighters took up arms against the French occupiers. In The Wake, a postapocalyptic novel set a thousand years in the past, Paul Kingsnorth brings this dire scenario back to us through the eyes of the unforgettable Buccmaster, a proud landowner bearing witness to the end of his world. Accompanied by a band of like-minded men, Buccmaster is determined to seek revenge on the invaders. But as the men travel across the scorched English landscape, Buccmaster becomes increasingly unhinged by the immensity of his loss, and their path forward becomes increasingly unclear. Written in what the author describes as "a shadow tongue"—a version of Old English updated so as to be understandable to the modern reader—The Wake renders the inner life of an Anglo-Saxon man with an accuracy and immediacy rare in historical fiction. To enter Buccmaster's world is to feel powerfully the sheer strangeness of the past. A tale of lost gods and haunted visions, The Wake is both a sensational, gripping story and a major literary achievement.

Download or read book Italian Gothic Horror Films 1957 1969 written by Roberto Curti and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-03-27 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Gothic" style was a key trend in Italian cinema of the 1950s and 1960s because of its peculiar, often strikingly original approach to the horror genre. These films portrayed Gothic staples in a stylish and idiosyncratic way, and took a daring approach to the supernatural and to eroticism, with the presence of menacing yet seductive female witches, vampires and ghosts. Thanks to such filmmakers as Mario Bava (Black Sunday), Riccardo Freda (The Horrible Dr. Hichcock), and Antonio Margheriti (Castle of Blood), as well the iconic presence of actress Barbara Steele, Italian Gothic horror went overseas and reached cult status. The book examines the Italian Gothic horror of the period, with an abundance of previously unpublished production information drawn from official papers and original scripts. Entries include a complete cast and crew list, home video releases, plot summary and the author's analysis. Excerpts from interviews with filmmakers, scriptwriters and actors are included. The foreword is by film director and scriptwriter Ernesto Gastaldi.
Download or read book Developing Minds written by Arthur L. Costa and published by Association for Supervision & Curriculum Development. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does research tell us about the effects of school leadership on student achievement? What specific leadership practices make a real difference in school effectiveness? How should school leaders use these practices in their day-to-day management of schools and during the stressful times that accompany major change initiatives? Robert J. Marzano, Timothy Waters, and Brian A. McNulty provide answers to these and other questions in School Leadership That Works. Based on their analysis of 69 studies conducted since 1970 that met their selection criteria and a recent survey of more than 650 building principals, the authors have developed a list of 21 leadership responsibilities that have a significant effect on student achievement. Readers will learn the specific behaviors associated with the 21 leadership responsibilities; the difference between first-order change and second-order change and the leadership responsibilities that are most important for each; how to work smart by choosing the right work to focus on to improve student achievement; the advantages and disadvantages of comprehensive school reform models for improving student achievement; how to develop a site-specific approach to improving student achievement, using a framework of 11 factors and 39 action steps; and a five-step plan for effective school leadership. Combining rigorous research with practical advice, School Leadership That Works gives school administrators the guidance they need to provide strong leadership for better schools.
