Описание:
In the 120 years since the publication of his final poetry collection, Decorations: In Verse and Prose (1899), Ernest Dowson has become something of a Decadent legend, much anthologized and referenced in almost every study of English Decadent literature, but still is considered a minor figure of the fin de si?cle. He is, in fact, an important intermediary between late nineteenth-century Decadence and literary Modernism. This first collection of critical essays devoted solely to Dowson draws him out of the shadows and acknowledges his talent and legacy. The essays in this volume by established and emergent Dowson scholars offer new perspectives on some of the most noteworthy aspects of Dowson’s oeuvre, including Catholicism and Paganism, desire and sexuality, space and place, his relationships with Decadent contemporaries including Paul Verlaine and Aubrey Beardsley, and his poetic resonance in twentieth-century literature and music.

Описание:
Yeats and his shadow are one of the most closely scrutinised pairs in contemporary literary history. The meaning and significance Yeats gave to the entity by which he was constantly pursued and with which he held frequent colloquy have been held under the critical microscope, and the shadow has emerged alternately as the course of human history, the poet's alter-ego, his inner self, the natural man, or as anything that Yeats wanted but believed himself not to be.
This title, first published in 1988, examines the influence that Shelley had on Yeats and this 'shadow'. The study concentrates primarily on the complex influence of Shelley's Alastor on Yeats, tracing the problems it suggests and the questions it raises from Yeats's early, highly imitative poems through the austere, unromantic middle poems to the late poems where Yeats sees himself as the "last of the romantics." This title will be of interest to students of literature.

Long-lost remnants of ancient Mesopotamian religion, Anunnaki mythology and hidden mysteries of Babylonian magic are coherently revealed in the first complete esoteric guide to a very real underground "Necronomicon Legacy" from the world renown "Mardukite Research Organization" developed by Joshua Free.
World renown expert and Director of the modern "Mardukite Research Organization"--Joshua Free--invites the Seeker on an incredible occult journey into underground esoterica. This amazing guide to modern esoteric underground legacies reveals a secret living Anunnaki tradition of Babylon, forbidden knowledge lost thousands of years ago--now infused within the outlines of all magick, religion and spirituality.
Discover the secret influence of the Sumerian Anunnaki and the origins of all physical and metaphysical systems born from the Mesopotamian Mystery Tradition that directly led to Babylonian religion--a unique combination of Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, Chaldean, Yezidic and Persian lore existing at the heart of the past century of underground occult traditions of Aleister Crowley, Kenneth Grant, Novem Portis: Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows, and the millions of people who have read--or even used--Simon's Necronomicon.
Joshua Free candidly reveals how "spiritual beings" and "alien intelligences" have influenced imaginations of "metaphysical" writers and "fantasy" artists increasingly in the last century--"primordial gods" seeking to have their stories told and knowledge of their existence reborn. What's more, these powers appear to be behind all of the systems installed into human civilization, both social and mystical, since the time of the ancient Sumerians.
Originally published in two installments, this new10th Anniversary commemorative edition of Necronomicon Revelations--Crossing to the Abyss: The Nine Gates of the Kingdom of Shadows collects some of the most controversially pivotal contributions from the modern "Mardukite Research Organization."

Through the use of several iconic early American authors (Anne Bradstreet, James Kirkpatrick, Benjamin Franklin, and Edgar Allan Poe), Jim Egan's Oriental Shadows: The Presence of theEast in Early American Literature explores the presence of "the East" in American writing.
The specter of the East haunted the literature of colonial British America and the new United States, from the earliest promotional pamphlets to the most aesthetically sophisticated works of art of the American Renaissance. Figures of Persia, China, Arabia, and other Oriental people, places, and things played crucial roles in many British American literary works, serving as key images in early American writers' efforts to demonstrate that early American culture could match-and perhaps even surpass-European standards of refinement. These writers offered the East as a solution to America's perceived inferior civilized status by suggesting that America become more civilized not by becoming more European but instead by adopting aesthetic styles and standards long associated with an East cast as superior aesthetically to both America and Europe. In bringing to light this largely overlooked archive of images within the American literary canon, Oriental Shadows suggests that the East played a key role in the emergence of a distinctively American literary tradition and, further, that early American identity was born as much from figures of the East as it was from the colonists' encounters with the frontier.
Long neglected in world history, the Ottoman Empire was a hub of intellectual fervor, geopolitical power, and enlightened pluralistic rule. At the height of their authority in the sixteenth century, the Ottomans, with extraordinary military dominance and unparalleled monopolies over trade routes, controlled more territory and ruled over more people than any world power, forcing Europeans out of the Mediterranean and to the New World.
Yet, despite its towering influence and centrality to the rise of our modern world, the Ottoman Empire's history has for centuries been distorted, misrepresented, and even suppressed in the West. Now Alan Mikhail presents a vitally needed recasting of Ottoman history, retelling the story of the Ottoman conquest of the world through the dramatic biography of Sultan Selim I (1470-1520).
Born to a concubine, and the fourth of his sultan father's ten sons, Selim was never meant to inherit the throne. With personal charisma and military prowess--as well as the guidance of his remarkably gifted mother, G lbahar--Selim claimed power over the empire in 1512 and, through ruthless ambition, nearly tripled the territory under Ottoman control, building a governing structure that lasted into the twentieth century. At the same time, Selim--known by his subjects as "God's Shadow on Earth"--fostered religious diversity, welcoming Jews among other minority populations into the empire; encouraged learning and philosophy; and penned his own verse.
Drawing on previously unexamined sources from multiple languages, and with original maps and stunning illustrations, Mikhail's game-changing account "challenges readers to recalibrate their sense of history" (Leslie Peirce), adroitly using Selim's life to upend prevailing shibboleths about Islamic history and jingoistic "rise of the West" theories that have held sway for decades. Whether recasting Christopher Columbus's voyages to the "Americas" as a bumbling attempt to slay Muslims or showing how the Ottomans allowed slaves to become the elite of society while Christian states at the very same time waged the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade, God's Shadow radically reshapes our understanding of the importance of Selim's Ottoman Empire in the history of the modern world.
