Download or read book Helen of Troy written by Margaret George and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-05-13 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bestselling novelist, Margaret George, here imagines the story of Helen of Sparta and Troy, one of the most amazing female mythical characters, ancient or modern. A war, which lasted for 10 years, was fought over her and nearly all the stories of the heroic age were bound into her story – a measure of her capacity to galvanise men into action. Using her unique gift for research and recreation, Margaret George brings to life a Helen who was a tantalizing enigma from the very first, flesh and blood certainly, but also immortal, as the daughter of Zeus. Her beauty is so overwhelming and dangerous that, as a child, she is protected from seeing her reflection. Kings and princes compete for her hand in marriage, and she marries Menelaus of Sparta, but before marrying him all her other suitors swear to help bring Helen back should she ever be abducted again. When she falls for Paris of Troy it is assumed that he has taken her by force, when her actions are far more complex. The suitors are obliged to honour their oath and so the Trojan War begins – the most pivotal event in the history of ancient Greece . . . and the tragedy of these individuals. ‘An epic novel... Margaret George recreates... passions... with extraordinary intensity. If only history lessons had been like this’ Cosmopolitan

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Daughter of the Gods: The Story of Helen of Troy This is simply a collection of the thoughts and say ings of others about the fair Helen of Troy, and if, as I fear, I have rather overcrowded this sketch with poeti cal quotations, it is because I became an enthusiast, and finding anything which bore reference to her, I could not then omit it. I am indebted to Symonds and Collins for the chap ters on the Iliad and the Odyssey. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Antiquity in Popular Literature and Culture by : Konrad Dominas
Download or read book Antiquity in Popular Literature and Culture written by Konrad Dominas and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritus flat ubi vult academicus. It seems evident that the study of antiquity and the study of antiquity’s persistence will continue to be distributed ubique terrarum. This pleasing circumstance was exemplified in January 2014, at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, an institution named after Poland’s influential nineteenth-century epic and lyric poet. As part of an ongoing series of such academic meetings, the university hosted the Seventh International Conference on Fantasy and Wonder. Its topic was Antiquity in Popular Literature and Culture. Several of the papers given in Poznań appear in this volume in revised form. They demonstrate the continuing presence of the past, or, to put it slightly differently, the importance of the past in the present and, by extension, for the future.

Book Synopsis Conclusion of the Memoirs of Miss Sidney Bidulph by : Frances Sheridan
Download or read book Conclusion of the Memoirs of Miss Sidney Bidulph written by Frances Sheridan and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2013-09-23 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1761, Frances Sheridan published her novel The Memoirs of Miss Sidney Bidulph, which became a popular and widely praised example of the sentimental novel. The Conclusion, that novel’s sequel, is set eight years later, after Sidney Bidulph’s marriage and motherhood. Psychologically subtle and emotionally immediate, the novel is told almost entirely in the form of letters. Many of the letters are between the scheming Sophy and Edward Audley, who are trying to trick Sidney’s daughter into marriage with Edward; these letters provide a startlingly realistic portrayal of villainy, anticipating such later works as Les Liaisons Dangereuses. The historical appendices include documents on the education of young adults in the eighteenth century and contemporary reviews of the novel.

Book Synopsis Byzantine Ecocriticism by : Adam J. Goldwyn
Download or read book Byzantine Ecocriticism written by Adam J. Goldwyn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Byzantine Ecocriticism: Women, Nature, and Power in the Medieval Greek Romance applies literary ecocriticism to the imaginative fiction of the Greek world from the twelfth to fifteenth centuries. Through analyses of hunting, gardening, bride-stealing, and warfare, Byzantine Ecocriticism exposes the attitudes and behaviors that justified human control over women, nature, and animals; the means by which such control was exerted; and the anxieties surrounding its limits. Adam Goldwyn thus demonstrates the ways in which intersectional ecocriticism, feminism, and posthumanism can be applied to medieval texts, and illustrates how the legacies of medieval and Byzantine environmental practice and ideology continue to be relevant to contemporary ecological and environmental concerns.
Download or read book After the Trojan War written by Euripides and published by Oberon Books. This book was released on 1995-03 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenneth McLeish's stunning translations of three plays exploring the Trojan War, by one of the great Athenian dramatists. Each play shows the aftermath of war from a different standpoint. Women of Troy is set amongst a group of captives waiting to be shipped from Troy as slaves - Queen Hecuba is their comforter but in Hecuba she is driven to the edge of insanity by her own great personal loss. Helen takes place seven years after the end of the War. In Egypt - treated as a backwater, far from 'real' events - Helen waits anxiously for her husband Menelaus to rescue her. One of the greatest and most influential of the Greek tragedians, Euripides, is said to have produced 92 plays, the first of which appeared in 455BC.
