Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.

Book Synopsis Deer Companions by : Thomas Lee Boles
Download or read book Deer Companions written by Thomas Lee Boles and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-09-23 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deer Companions includes several years of observations and experiences at a deer farm. The reader will be introduced to a herd of several dozen white-tailed deer, become closely acquainted with several (and their human caretakers), and even see a little of what used to be called natural history. The nearest likeness to the author’s experience is the proverbial traveler to a distant land who becomes adopted into an exotic tribe. We will see the herd’s social structure, as it were, from the inside, and acquire a jealous, but very devoted, sweetheart. (That’s her on the cover.) The author has seen this happen to several other people but, after extensive research, can find no published mention of it. The picture doesn’t do it justice; no one else can see the look in Sugar’s eyes when she does that. There is also an extensive appendix describing habitat and herd manipulations in all fifty states of the Union to “enhance sporting opportunities”—multiply deer populations for hunters’ benefit. This puts away any claim that hunting is about population control.

Download or read book Great Companions (Classic Reprint) written by Edith Franklin Wyatt and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Companions In reading the books of writers of genius one learns something of their knowledge in two ways: directly, by the words of the authors; and indirectly, by their whole manner of regarding creation. This volume is a record of the pleasure one reader has found in the company of many books expressing truth in these two ways. Unlike in almost all other respects, their authors are alike in this characteristic. Each bears striking witness to his own knowledge: and writes of what he has seen and imagined of human life from his own peculiar outlook, that special place of his in the mystery of the universe, where no one has ever stood before, nor will stand again. These essays will have served their purpose if they speed the guest in his acquaintance with the individualities of their comment - whether to old or to new friendships in letters.

Book Synopsis A Companion to Medieval Poetry by : Corinne Saunders
Download or read book A Companion to Medieval Poetry written by Corinne Saunders and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-04-12 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MEDIEVAL POETRY In a series of original essays from leading literary scholars, this Companion offers a chronological sweep of medieval poetry from Old English to the great genres of romance, narrative, and alliterative poetry of the 15th century. Beginning in the Anglo-Saxon period, the volume explores the Old English language and its alliterative tradition, before moving on to examine the genres of heroic, devotional, wisdom and epic poetry, culminating in a discussion of arguably the founding text of the English literary canon, the great epic Beowulf. In part two, the Companion moves on to discuss the linguistic and social changes brought about as a result of the Norman Conquest, exploring how this influenced the development of literary genres. Essays probe the shifts and continuities in genres such as lyric, chronicle and dream vision, and the emergence of new genres such as popular and courtly romance, and drama. A particular focus is the continuation of the alliterative tradition from the Anglo-Saxon period to the fifteenth century. A series of chapters on major authors, including Chaucer, Gower, and Langland, provide fresh approaches to reading and studying key texts, such as The Canterbury Tales, Piers Plowman and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Finally, the collection examines cultural change at the close of the medieval period and the variety of literature produced in the ‘long fifteenth century’, including writing by and for women, Scots poetry, clerical and courtly works, and secular and sacred drama.
