Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Myth of the Pent Cuckoo: A Study in Folklore The first purpose of this work includes a scientific enquiry into the meaning and value of the widespread story of the men who pent, or hedged in, the Cuckoo, which appears in the old "Tales of the Wise Men of Gotham" and is also familiar in several parts of the country at the present day. Its further purpose is to give an account of a series of sites bearing the traditional name of "Cuckoo Pens" along the southern part of the Chiltern Hills and in the neighbouring districts. Fifteen such sites are known to me, and although I have made frequent enquiries I have not been able to hear of another; but probably there are several more. A description of each of the fifteen is given with more or less detail. In the majority of cases this is done from personal inspection. In the other cases it is from accounts contributed by friends, and to these I desire to offer an expression of thanks. As far as I have had opportunity of observing, the Cuckoo Pens do not appear in Tithe Awards or Enclosure Awards, but the designation survives only in popular parlance.

Book excerpt: An entertaining and wide-ranging romp through the cultural history of a peculiar bird. The cuckoo is peculiar for inspiring such divergent ideas: a symbol of foolishness to both Aristophanes and Cocoa Puffs, a reliable harbinger of spring and the hours of a cuckoo clock, and the source of innumerable innuendos inspired by a habit of laying eggs in others’ nests. In this short, entertaining book, Cynthia Chris explores both the natural and cultural history of the cuckoo as well as the many stories told throughout the centuries about this fascinating bird.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revised edition of this major writer's complete poetical work And I who was walking with the earth at my waist, saw two snowy eagles and a naked girl. The one was the other and the girl was neither. -from "Qasida of the Dark Doves" Federico García Lorca was the most beloved poet of twentieth-century Spain and one of the world's most influential modernist writers. His work has long been admired for its passionate urgency and haunting evocation of sorrow and loss. Perhaps more persistently than any writer of his time, he sought to understand and accommodate the numinous sources of his inspiration. Though he died at age thirty-eight, he left behind a generous body of poetry, drama, musical arrangements, and drawings, which continue to surprise and inspire. Christopher Maurer, a leading García Lorca scholar and editor, has brought together new and substantially revised translations by twelve poets and translators, placed side by side with the Spanish originals. The seminal volume Poet in New York is also included here in its entirety. This is the most comprehensive collection in English of a poet who—as Maurer writes in his illuminating introduction—"spoke unforgettably of all that most interests us: the otherness of nature, the demons of personal identity and artistic creation, sex, childhood, and death."

Download or read book Cloven Country written by Jeremy Harte and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2023-08-25 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback, an exploration of the myths of England’s deceptively bucolic rolling hills and country lanes believed to be created and shaped by the Dark Lord himself. According to legend, the English landscape—so calm on the surface—is really the Devil’s work. Cloven Country tells of rocks hurled into place and valleys carved out by infernal labor. The Devil’s hideous strength laid down great roads in one night and left scars everywhere as the hard stone melted like wax under those burning feet. With roots in medieval folklore of giants and spirits, this is not the Satan of prayer, but a clumsy ogre, easily fooled by humankind. When a smart cobbler or cunning young wife outwitted him, they struck a blow for the underdog. Only the wicked squire and grasping merchant were beyond redemption, carried off by a black huntsman in the storm. Cloven Country offers a fascinating panorama of these decidedly sinister English tales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Elizabethan Age and for the following hundred and fifty years, such figures as Shakespeare and Jonson, Milton and Pope dominated the English literary scene. But what was the vast majority of society really watching, reading and singing? This pioneering anthology, set in two volumes, attempts to answer this question by offering a wide selection of material, ranging from broadside ballads and drolls to witch trial reports and political newsbooks.
