Index of poem titles. 246 pp. Publisher's blurb, "Collected Poems contains the previously published poetry of Rowan Williams, together with a significant body of new work. Also included are his celebrated translations from Welsh, German, and Russian poetry. His earlier collections have included pieces prompted by the landscape and literature of West Wales, and a sequence of poems on the varieties of love in the plays of Shakespeare. This Collected adds a sequence commissioned for the fiftieth anniversary of the Aberfan disaster, tributes to writers as different as Alan Garner and John Milton, and a reflection on sculptures by Antony Gormley. The book reflects the poet's wide range of interest and the variety of poetic mediums he has explored. His poems continue to respond vividly to the visual arts, and to the experience and imagination of 'pre-modern' cultures, as well as to the crises and tragedies of our time. He continues to read with uncanny clarity the signs that are manifest in nature and history. Imagination working through language brings us as close as we can get to our condition.

All for Love or, The World Well Lost is John Dryden's 1677 adaptation of the tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra into a neo-classical quintet with supporting voices: After Cleopatra's desertion of Antony at the battle of Actium, not only his wife Octavia but also his general Ventidius and his friend Dolabella strive to win him over to their side. Antony, torn between the claims of duty, friendship, dignity and love, despairs when he hears the rumour of Cleopatra's death, which is not, as in Shakespeare's version, spread by the queen herself but by her deceitful eunuch. This edition includes Dryden's dedication of the play to the Earl of Danby and his preface, in which he defends against French neo-classicist strictures the liberties he took with his sources; it further discusses the play's austere power in the theatre, which is unjustly considered to be inferior to Shakespeare's quite distinct version of the story., 6, London: J.M, Dent and Co.

New. <p><i>The Sacred Wood: Essays on Poetry and Criticism</i> (1920) is a collection of essays by T.S. Eliot. Although Eliot is primarily recognized as one of the twentieth centuryâs leading English poets, he was also a prolific and highly influential literary critic. This collection, which includes essays on Algernon Charles Swinburne, <i>Hamlet</i>, William Blake, and Dante, is central to Eliotâs legacy and vision of art.</p> <p>In âTradition and the Individual Talent,â Eliot sheds light on his vision of the role of poet with respect to tradition. Well-versed in classical poetry, Eliot possessed a dynamic vision of poetic tradition that viewed the working poet as an extension of those who came before. The role of the poet, then, is to innovate while remaining in conversation with poets throughout history, to remain âimpersonalâ by surrendering oneself to a process involving countless others. In âHamlet and His Problems,â Eliot provides a critical reading of Shakespeareâs iconic tragedy arguing that both the play and its main character fail to accomplish the playwrightâs true intention. Coining the concept of the âobjective correlative,â referring to the expression of emotion through a grouping of things or events, Eliotâs essay is a landmark in literary scholarship central to the formalist movement known as the New Criticism. Concluding with essays on Blake and Dante, important spiritual and formal forebears for Eliot, <i>The Sacred Wood: Essays on Poetry and Criticism</i> is central to T.S. Eliotâs legacy as a leading intellectual and artist of the modern era.</p> <p>With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of T.S. Eliotâs <i>The Sacred Wood: Essays on Poetry and Criticism</i> is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.</p>, 6, Oxford University Press, 4/28/1988 12:00:01 A. hardcover.
