Book Synopsis Earnest, Earnest? by : Eleanor Boudreau
Download or read book Earnest, Earnest? written by Eleanor Boudreau and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize Finalist, 2021 Eric Hoffer Award Silver Medal, 2020 Florida Book Award In Earnest, Earnest?, the speaker, Eleanor, writes postcards to her on-again-off-again lover, Earnest. The fact that her lover’s name is Earnest and that their relationship is fraught, raises questions of sincerity and irony, and whether both can be present at the same time. While Earnest can be read literally as Eleanor’s lover, he is best understood as another side of the poet’s self. The ambiguity at play in Earnest, Earnest? is embodied in the form of the “Earnest Postcards” that structure the book—these postcards are experimental in their use of images and formal in their dialogue with the sonnet. Thus, Earnest, Earnest? is a question of tone, address, and form.
Download or read book Earnest Games written by Carl Lindahl and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1987 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ernest Games Carl Lindahl recovers a folkloric world long hidden from readers of Chaucer. Lindahl is the first critic to demonstrate how the poem reflects the social and artistic patterns of medieval folk performance. Combining current approaches from the fields of literary criticism, social history, and folklore, Earnest Games begins with a study of Chaucer's setting and characters. Lindahl discovers that Chaucer gives each community -- the gentils, the churls, and the pilgrims -- a game strategy that faithfully reflects the social realities of the English Middle Ages.

Download or read book Earnest written by Andrew C. Koehl and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: B. T. Roberts was born in a small farming community in western New York, on July 25, 1823. By the time of his death in 1893, he had made a profound impact on church and society. Roberts's writing, preaching, and ministry focused on true conversion, the disciplines of the Christian life, and holiness. Rejecting "prosperity theology," he argued for simplicity, generosity, and mission. A prophet of dissent, he vigorously promoted abolition, prohibition, economic justice, and the equality of women. Along the way, he founded Free Methodism and an educational institution that is thriving 150 years later. Roberts exhibited rare and impeccably balanced traits. He displayed the courage and boldness to dissent, as well as the political savvy and communication skills to bring people together. He was a visionary who displayed patience, tact, and pragmatism. His idealism did not obliterate his attention to details and crucial distinctions. He made people feel loved, respected, and challenged; he was authentic. In his dealings in church and world, we see creativity and flexibility grounded in integrity. Earnest settles in to the particularities of this life well lived, showing the human spirit, divine power, and practicalities of progress.

Book Synopsis Earnest Enquirers After Truth by : Bernard E Jones
Download or read book Earnest Enquirers After Truth written by Bernard E Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1970, Bernard E. Jones’s selection of Gifford lectures includes excerpts from the writings of over ninety scholars who occupied a Gifford Chair between 1888 and 1968. Lord Gifford had asked his lecturers to be ‘honest to God’, insisting that they should be ‘earnest enquirers after truth’ and had always envisaged the lectures being published. Dr Jones’s anthology is arranged under headings suggested by phrases from Lord Gifford’s will. The selection, which includes names such as William James, A.N. Whitehead, Temple, Barth, Brunner, Bultmann, Niebuhr and Tillich, was made in such a way that the reader would be able to really grasp what natural theology is about. Bernard Ewart Jones served as a Methodist minister, before being appointed to the Lewins Chair of Philosophy at his old college, Hartley Victoria, Manchester. He was awarded a doctorate by the University of Leeds in 1966 for his thesis on ‘The Concept of Natural Theology in Gifford Lectures’.

Book Synopsis The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays by : Oscar Wilde
Download or read book The Importance of Being Earnest and Other Plays written by Oscar Wilde and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-04-17 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oscar Wilde was already one of the best known literary figures in Britain when he was persuaded to turn his extraordinary talents to the theatre. Between 1891 and 1895 he produced a sequence of distinctive plays which spearheaded the dramatic renaissance of the 1890s and retain their power today. The social comedies, Lady Windermere's Fan, A Woman of No Importance, and An Ideal Husband, offer a moving as well as witty dissection of society and its morals, with a sharp focus on sexual politics. By contrast, the experimental, symbolist Salome, written originally in French, was banned for public performance by the English censor. His final dramatic triumph was his `trivial' comedy for serious people, The Importance of Being Earnest' arguably the greatest farcical comedy in English. Under the General Editorship of Dr Michael Cordner of the University of York, the texts of the plays have been newly edited and are presented with modernized spelling and punctuation. In addition, there is a scholarly introduction and detailed annotation. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
Book Synopsis Quicklet On Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest by : Taryn Nakamura
Download or read book Quicklet On Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest written by Taryn Nakamura and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-02-12 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK The Importance of Being Earnest is one of the few books that actually makes me laugh out loud. Or tremor silently, if I’m reading in public. From witty one-liners on marriage, to solemn cake- and muffin-eating, Oscar Wilde surprised me with quick humor in almost every sentence. But I have to admit, when I read the last sentence, I found myself flipping through the final pages looking to see if my book was missing pages. It just didn’t seem complete. Somehow, the couples forgive each other, and Cecily takes Algernon despite his imperfect name. For me, the problem with the play is that I was not entirely sure what Oscar Wilde was trying to say. He lampoons society and mocks conventions, but once he’s finished tearing it apart, there’s nothing left. He offers no substitute for the lovers with fleeting emotions and shallow attachments. There’s no hope for trust in relationships, lasting marriages, or happy couples. And that’s where it gets scary. Miss Prism says in Act II, “A misanthrope I can understand—a womanthrope, never!” I felt that despite his levity, Oscar Wilde was a misanthrope who saw little hope in the creation of a better society. Just look at his own personal life. He played along as a devoted family man, but he led a double life as a gay lover. When he did finally find a partner, he was imprisoned by a society that couldn’t accept homosexuality. Although The Importance of Being Earnest kept me laughing the whole time, it never took me from “Wow, people suck” to “Maybe we can change.” But maybe that’s Wilde’s point. He would probably tell me to stop being so earnest. MEET THE AUTHOR Taryn Nakamura was born and raised in Hawaii, where she's recently returned after receiving a B.A. in English at Yale University. As a writing concentrator at Yale, she focused on fiction, but as a Hyperink writer, she's learned that nonfiction can also be fun. In her free time, she likes to run at a walking pace, haunt libraries, and eat pickles. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Oscar Wilde may have died an outcast in 1900, but today, his fans commemorate him with countless lipstick kisses on his grave. The kissers have gone too far, it turns out. Oscar Wilde’s Paris monument is now protected by a glass barrier and a 9,000-euro fine. Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin in 1854. His father was a surgeon and his mother was a nationalist poetess, who wrote radical poetry under the name, Speranza. Wilde attended Trinity College and Oxford University. Wilde dabbled in poetry, fiction, and drama, and he wrote both tragedy and comedy. He also wrote The Picture of Dorian Gray, Lady Windemere’s Fan, A Woman of No Importance, and An Ideal Husband. In Henry Popkin’s introduction to the 1965 Avon edition of The Importance of Being Earnest, Popkin writes that Wilde cultivated a persona as a dandy. Wilde was accustomed to wearing knee breeches, silk stockings, and a sunflower or lily to complete the outfit. Wilde married Constance Llyod in 1884, and they had two sons. As Gregory Wheatcroft writes in The Atlantic Monthly, W. H. Auden considered Wilde’s marriage “perhaps the only really heartless act of Wilde’s life.” But unlike Auden, Wilde probably didn’t realize his true sexual preferences until later in life. Merlin Holland writes in The Guardian that Wilde’s first known male lover was Robert Ross in 1886 or 1887. Oscar Wilde’s love affair with Lord Alfred Douglas, also known as Bosie, exploded into the public arena in 1895. With Bosie’s encouragement, Wilde sued Bosie’s father for calling Wilde a “Sodomite.” The Marquis of Queensbury bit back and brought Wilde to court for gross indecency. Oscar Wilde spent 2 years in jail for sodomy. Buy a copy to keep reading!
