Book Synopsis The Voyage to Illyria by : Kenneth Muir
Download or read book The Voyage to Illyria written by Kenneth Muir and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1937. This study argues that the plays of Shakespeare must be studied by comparison with each other and not as separate entities; that they must be related to one another, to the poems and to the Sonnets; that each individual play acquires a deeper significance from its setting in the corpus. Muir and O'Loughlin's critical analysis takes place against the personality of Shakespeare, asserting that that despite all their diversities a single mind and a single hand dominate them and that they are the outcome of one man's critical and emotional reactions to life.

And why is Tamblyn about to sink his own ship in mid ocean?If that wasn't puzzle enough, there's Tamblyn's assistant, Dimitrios. Nobody knows much about his past. Dimitrios doesn't answer questions.

Book Synopsis The Blood-Drenched Sea by : Alfred S. Bradford
Download or read book The Blood-Drenched Sea written by Alfred S. Bradford and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an indispensable resource for readers who want to know the whole, comprehensive story of ancient naval warfare. The Blood-Drenched Sea describes all the naval battles and wars fought in the ancient Mediterranean. In one volume are the ships, crews, and leaders who determined the course of ancient history, along with the wars and battles, told through artifacts, extant literary and visual sources, and modern reconstructions—the Egyptian mortuary temple, the Minoan domain, the legendary sack of Troy, the expansion of Greeks throughout the Mediterranean, the Athenian victory over the Persians at Salamis, and the Athenian empire, ruined by one moment of superstition. Then the Romans learned how to build ships, man them, row in tiers, and command fleets, and the volume recounts their contributions to history as well. They fought three wars with Carthage that cost them hundreds of thousands of casualties and expenditures of vast wealth, and they conquered the whole of the Mediterranean. Meanwhile, Julius Caesar expanded the empire with the conquest of Gaul and the invasion of Britain, and his adoptive son, Octavian settled the question of who would rule the new empire by winning the naval battle at Actium.
Book Synopsis Comparative Poetics by : Earl Roy Miner
Download or read book Comparative Poetics written by Earl Roy Miner and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1990-10-23 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Comparative literature," Earl Miner writes, "clearly involves something more than comparing two great German poets, and something different from a Chinese studying French literature or a Russian studying Italian literature." But what would a true intercultural poetics be? This work proposes various ways to "study something other than what are, all things considered, the short and simple annals of one cultural parish at one historic moment." The first developed account of theories of literature from an intercultural standpoint, the book shows that an "originative" or "foundational" poetics develops in cultures with explicit poetics when critics define the nature and conditions of literature in terms of the then most esteemed genredrama, lyric, or narrative. Earl Miner demonstrates that these definitions and inferences from them constitute useful bases for comparative poetics.

Book excerpt: At sixteen, Julia Percy is told she’s destined to save the world from some obscure yet impending calamity. Julia thinks this prophecy is a huge cosmic blunder but submits to ten years of intensive preparation on a paradisiacal planet named Illyria. Now returned to Earth, she faces her first challenge as leader of a group of talented young people who call themselves Calvary. A wraithlike assassin called Banshee has targeted three agents of the Global Peace Federation. These GPF officers have obtained information which, if decoded, could lead to the Banshee’s apprehension. But when the first agent of this trio is murdered by the assassin, Calvary’s help is enlisted to safeguard the remaining duo. While protecting the officers, Julia quickly learns that Banshee is a deadlier threat than she’d presumed. Calvary becomes embroiled within a figurative crucible, enduring a literal trial by fire. To salvage Calvary and ransom the lives of her dearest friends, Julia must make an impossible choice: forever surrender her freedom or sacrifice her very life.
