Romancero Gitano: By Frederico García Lorca

$39.24

Report copyright infringementby Herbert Ramsden (Editor), Federico Garcia Lorca (Author)Lorca is one of the outstanding poets of Spanish literature, and apart perhaps from his trilogy of stage tragedies, "Romancero gitano" is his most celebrated work: innovative, sophisticated, difficult and uniquely popular. Partly, no doubt, it is the appeal of his gypsies, childlike and magical, oppressed by the world around; partly too, the work's elemental concerns: machismo, honor, sex, betrayal, reveng...

Report copyright infringementby Stephen Halliwell (Author)In this sustained interpretation, Stephen Halliwell demonstrates that Poetics, despite its laconic brevity, contains a coherent statement of mimetic art in general. He assesses this theory against a background of earlier Greek views on poetry and art, particularly Plato's; and he goes further than many previous authors in setting Aristotle's ideas in the wider context of his philosophical system. The core of the book is an appraisal of...

Report copyright infringementby Gareth Reeves (Author)This work argues that although "The Waste Land" demands close reading, the spirit of the old New Criticism works with inappropriate assumptions about unity and closed form. Many critics have tried to fix the text, to find hidden narratives and plots, spiritual guests and allegories of salvation. Instead, this reading sees the poem as resolutely open-ended, supporting this view with recent developments in Reader-Response criticism and Recep...

At the Hut of the Small Mind: a tanka sequence

$10.80

Report copyright infringementby Sanford Goldstein (Author)Sanford Goldstein's 'At the Hut of the Small Mind' is a classic of English-language tanka. As much a work of Zen as of tanka, it was written while the author spent several days on a natural farm operated by a Japanese Zen master. While there he met several other seekers, but most of all, he met himself. It may have been a black butterfly winging into his hut to escape the rain, or a white hen who joined the seekers at the master's feet...

Milton Among the Philosophers: Poetry and Materialism in Seventeenth-Century England

In what has become the classic account of Milton's anim...

Report copyright infringementby Kevin Crotty (Author)In Law's Interior, Kevin M.

Crotty maintains that citizens are "inside" the law--they are the law's interior. Literature, he finds, can be relevant to law by emphasizing the connections between law and the world around i...

Report copyright infringementby Lucien Stryk (Author)Lucien Stryk's poetry is made of simple things - frost on a windowpane at morning, ducks moving across a pond, a neighbor's fuss over his lawn - set into language that is at once direct and powerful. Years of translating Zen poems and religious texts have helped give Stryk a special sense of the particular, a feel for those details which, because they are so much a part of our lives, seem to define us. Stryk's poetry is neither an attempt ...
