Book Remembering Roy Campbell

Download or read book Remembering Roy Campbell written by Judith Lütge Coullie and published by . This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anna and Teresa Campbell were the daughters of the handsome young South African poet and writer, Roy Campbell (1901-1957), and his strikingly beautiful English wife, Mary Garman (1898-1979). In their frank and moving memoirs, Anna and Tess recall the extraordinary, and often very difficult, lives they shared with their exceptional parents. The Campbells experienced first-hand the political and social upheavals of post-World War I Europe, the cementing of white power in the Union of South Africa, the rise of communism and-as recent converts to Catholicism - the Spanish Civil War and World War II. Their lives also intersected with profound artistic and philosophical changes and they mixed with some of the key figures in European, South African and American artistic circles, including Virginia Woolf, Wyndham Lewis, the Sitwells, Augustus John, Bernard Meninsky, Jacob Epstein, Laurie Lee, Tristram Hillier, Dylan Thomas, Laurens van der Post, William Plomer, Uys Krige, Hart Crane.... About the editor - - Judith Lutge Coullie is Professor of English at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Her publications include a compilation of South African women's life writing (The Closest of Strangers), an edited collection of critical essays on Breyten Breytenbach (a.k.a. Breyten Breytenbach), a CD on the poet Roy Campbell (Campbell in Context) and edited interviews on southern African auto/biography (Selves in Question). "Remembering Roy Campbell makes a significant contribution to understanding South Africa's best-known poet." / Peter F. Alexander, author of Roy Campbell: A Critical Biography. "The editor's introduction to the two memoirs serves as a further corrective to erroneous assumptions about Campbell's life and poetry and serves as a background against which the memoirs may be read." / Michael Hanke, author of Roy Campbell, Ein Solitar: Interpretationen Seiner Versdichtung

Book The God Fearing People

Download or read book The God Fearing People written by S S Ralph and published by S S Ralph. This book was released on 2023-02-27 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome back to New Hope and Hell. Did you enjoy the last ride? The sinful underbelly in New Hope is starting to swell and is ready to burst, while tensions in Hell are boiling to a head. What could Jacob’s prophetic nightmares possibly signify? And how outside of Hell could they be so detailed― seeing horrific faces that he’d never met before? Perhaps New Hope and Hell are more closely connected than anyone realizes. But why? The number of random beatings for retaliation in Hell continues to escalate, but how much more abuse can the Lost Souls endure? The Dark Lord feels confident that a rebellion can be quickly squashed because He possesses a secret cache of weaponry that is even more powerful than the Demonic telepathic powers wielded by the Campbells. But the Unholy Ruler secretly harbors a more profound hidden fear, a fear of the past. Who is the mysterious Driftwood Blackheart, what is his connection to Eden and its protected background, and why is the Second Leg of Hell terrified of the possibility that the Once Man may one day return?

Book The Presence of Pessoa

Download or read book The Presence of Pessoa written by George Monteiro and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fernando Pessoa (1888–1935) is perhaps the most engaging of the great Western modernists of this century. Born in Portugal but raised and educated in southern Africa, Pessoa wrote poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. George Monteiro provides refreshingly new interpretations of Pessoa's Mensagem (Message) and the modernist novella 0 Banqueiro Anarquista (The Anarchist Banker). But he is primarily interested in tracing Pessoa's influence on a wide range of contemporary writers. Among those Monteiro finds putting Pessoa's work to their own surprising—and sometimes comic—uses are Joyce Carol Oates, Allen Ginsberg, John Wain, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and earlier poets including Thomas Merton, Edouard Roditi, and Roy Campbell. In addition, the complete text of Campbell's pioneering biocritical study of Pessoa is published here for the first time.
