Download or read book ODE TO A NIGHTINGALE written by John Keats and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2017-08-07 with total page 591 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This eBook edition of "Ode to a Nightingale" has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. "Ode to a Nightingale" is either the garden of the Spaniards Inn, Hampstead, London, or, according to Keats' friend Charles Armitage Brown, under a plum tree in the garden of Keats House, also in Hampstead. According to Brown, a nightingale had built its nest near his home in the spring of 1819. Inspired by the bird's song, Keats composed the poem in one day. It soon became one of his 1819 odes and was first published in Annals of the Fine Arts the following July. "Ode to a Nightingale" is a personal poem that describes Keats's journey into the state of Negative Capability. The tone of the poem rejects the optimistic pursuit of pleasure found within Keats's earlier poems and explores the themes of nature, transience and mortality, the latter being particularly personal to Keats. The nightingale described within the poem experiences a type of death but does not actually die. Instead, the songbird is capable of living through its song, which is a fate that humans cannot expect. John Keats (1795-1821) was an English Romantic poet. The poetry of Keats is characterized by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analyzed in English literature.
Download or read book Father of the Tuskegee Airmen John C Robinson written by Phillip Thomas Tucker and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across black America during the Golden Age of Aviation, John C. Robinson was widely acclaimed as the long-awaited “black Lindbergh.” Robinson’s fame, which rivaled that of Joe Louis and Jesse Owens, came primarily from his wartime role as the commander of the Imperial Ethiopian Air Force after Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1935. As the only African American who served during the war’s entirety, the Mississippi-born Robinson garnered widespread recognition, sparking an interest in aviation for young black men and women. Known as the “Brown Condor of Ethiopia,” he provided a symbolic moral example to an entire generation of African Americans. While white America remained isolationist, Robinson fought on his own initiative against the march of fascism to protect Africa’s only independent black nation. Robinson’s wartime role in Ethiopia made him America’s foremost black aviator. Robinson made other important contributions that predated the Italo-Ethiopian War. After graduating from Tuskegee Institute, Robinson led the way in breaking racial barriers in Chicago, becoming the first black student and teacher at one of the most prestigious aeronautical schools in the United States, the Curtiss-Wright Aeronautical School. In May 1934, Robinson first planted the seed for the establishment of an aviation school at Tuskegee Institute. While Robinson’s involvement with Tuskegee was only a small part of his overall contribution to opening the door for blacks in aviation, the success of the Tuskegee Airmen—the first African American military aviators in the U.S. armed forces—is one of the most recognized achievements in twentieth-century African American history.

Download or read book The Sarah Siddons Audio Files written by Judith Pascoe and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2011-06-14 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English actress Sarah Siddons (1755–1831) was an international celebrity widely acclaimed for her performances of tragic heroines.We know what Siddons looked like—an endless number of artists asked her to sit for portraits and sculptures—but what of her famous voice? In lively and engaging prose, Judith Pascoe journeys to discover how the celebrated romantic actor’s voice sounded and to understand its power to move audiences to a state of emotional collapse. The author’s quixotic endeavor leads her to enroll in a “Voice for Actors” class, to collect Lady Macbeth voice prints, and to listen more carefully to the soundscape of her own life. The Sarah Siddons Audio Files is the first full-scale attempt to address the importance of the voice in romantic culture. Bringing together archival discoveries, sound recording history, and media theory, the book shows how the romantic poets’ preoccupation with voices is linked to a larger cultural anxiety about the voice’s ephemerality. The Sarah Siddons Audio Files contributes to a growing body of work on the fascinating history of sound, and will engage a broad audience interest in how recording technology has altered human experience.

Download or read book Witching Hill written by E. W. Hornung and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-11-21 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. W. Hornung's Witching Hill is a collection of short fiction tales. The stories are all intertwined with the idea that riddles and murders are the product of the "old man," the long-dead malevolent Lord Mulcaster. His eight unique pieces were serialized in Scribner's Magazine. The plot centers around strange occurrences on the Witching Hill estate, as well as the efforts of a plantation officer, Gillon, and a local, Delavoye, to manage it. It's worth noting that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's brother-in-law was E.W. Hornung. Each narrative takes set on the Witching Hill estate, which was created on the grounds of a rural estate that was once a hotbed of decadence and wickedness decades ago.
