Описание: William Blake and the Daughters of Albion offers a challenge to the Blake establishment. By placing some of Blake`s early prophetic works in startingly new historical contexts (most provocatively those of female conduct and pornography) a very different image of the radical Blake emerges.

Описание:

The first anthology ever to present the entire range of ancient Greek and Roman stories--from myths and fairy tales to jokes

Captured centaurs and satyrs, talking animals, people who suddenly change sex, men who give birth, the temporarily insane and the permanently thick-witted, delicate sensualists, incompetent seers, a woman who remembers too much, a man who cannot laugh--these are just some of the colorful characters who feature in the unforgettable stories that ancient Greeks and Romans told in their daily lives. Together they created an incredibly rich body of popular oral stories that include, but range well beyond, mythology--from heroic legends, fairy tales, and fables to ghost stories, urban legends, and jokes. This unique anthology presents the largest collection of these tales ever assembled. Featuring nearly four hundred stories in authoritative and highly readable translations, this is the first book to offer a representative selection of the entire range of traditional classical storytelling.

Set mostly in the world of humans, not gods, these stories focus on figures such as lovers, tricksters, philosophers, merchants, rulers, athletes, artists, and soldiers. The narratives range from the well-known--for example, Cupid and Psyche, Diogenes and his lantern, and the tortoise and the hare--to lesser-known tales that deserve wider attention. Entertaining and fascinating, they offer a unique window into the fantasies, anxieties, humor, and passions of the people who told them.

Complete with beautiful illustrations by Glynnis Fawkes, a comprehensive introduction, notes, and more, this one-of-a-kind anthology will delight general readers as well as students of classics, fairy tales, and folklore.

Описание: In Blake`s designs, transparent skinned bodies passionately contort in his verse, metamorphic bodies burst from each other in gory, gender-bending births. This volume re-evaluates Blake`s central image: the human form.

Описание: In this study, Green (English studies, U. of Nottingham, UK) re-evaluates William Blake`s response to the Enlightenment and offers an alternative reading of his early works. In contrast to more traditional interpretations, Green asserts that Blake`s hostility towards enlightenment thought stems from a sense that it does not go far enough.

Описание: This study should be of interest to the scholar and aficionado alike. It uncovers a thematic unity within Blake`s early work: his far reaching use of humour. Although often dismissed as a product of his eccentricity, the author argues the comic was an essential key to Blake`s concept of Vision.
