Описание:
This anthology of international scholarship offers new critical approaches to the study of the many manifestations of the paranormal in the Middle Ages. The guiding principle of the collection is to depart from symbolic or reductionist readings of the subject matter in favor of focusing on the paranormal as human experience and, essentially, on how these experiences are defined by the sources. The authors work with a variety of medieval Icelandic textual sources, including family sagas, legendary sagas, romances, poetry, hagiography and miracles, exploring the diversity of paranormal activity in the medieval North. This volume questions all previous definitions of the subject matter, most decisively the idea of saga realism, and opens up new avenues in saga research.

Описание: Sappho, the earliest and most famous Greek woman poet, sang her songs around 600 BCE on the island of Lesbos. Of the little that survives from the approximately nine papyrus scrolls collected in antiquity, all is translated here: substantial poems, fragments, single words - and, notably, five stanzas of a poem that came to light in 2014. Also included are new additions to five fragments from the latest discovery, and a nearly complete poem published in 2004. The power of Sappho's poetry - her direct style, rich imagery, and passion - is apparent even in these remnants. Diane Rayor's translations of Greek poetry are graceful and poetic, modern in diction yet faithful to the originals. The full range of Sappho's voice is heard in these poems about desire, friendship, rivalry, family, and 'passion for the light of life'. In the introduction and notes, internationally respected Sappho scholar Andre Lardinois presents plausible reconstructions of Sappho's life and work, the importance of the recent discoveries in understanding the performance of her songs, and the story of how these fragments survived.
Описание: This poetry collection (99 poems in total) takes Chinese culture as the theme. The poems cover cultures both national and personal, and highlight Chinese traditional culture and history, and the personal culture, experience, thinking and emotion of the author as a Chinese. The culture of a nation has both commonness and individuality. Individual culture is embodied in national culture, and national culture in personal culture. Most of the poems are in modern style, and some are in ancient style or with new rhymes.For many years, as an English professor, poet and poetry translator, the author has studied the poetry and poetry translation of Liang Zongdai?Liang Tsong Taï/????, a famous Chinese poet and translator in the last century and also a fellow townsman of the author who is more or less influenced by his poetry and poetry translation. Many of the author’s poems and poetry translations have been published in many poetry journals and poetry websites at home and abroad: Yiyuan Electronic Journal, China Writers’ Net, Chinese Poetry Net, Chinese Poetry Website, Poetry of China, Dusk Snow Poetry Journal, Yangtze River Poetry, the American Better than Starbucks Poetry Magazine and Poetry Hall, etc. 100 Selected English Translations of Chinese Classical Ancient Poems has been published by American Academic Press. They have received the attention and reports of the mainstream medias in China.
According to the nature and characteristics of poetry, based on the “Three Beauties (beauty in sense; beauty in sound and beauty in form) ” in poetry translation advocated by Mr. Xu Yanchong, one of the most distinguished Chinese poetry translators, the poetry creation and translation in this collection have taken one more beauty into consideration, namely, “beauty in emotion” by means of interpreting emotional beauty of poetry with simplicity and true feelings. Most of the poems in this poetry collection have also been published on Poetry China, China Poetry Net, China Writers’ Net, the Platform of Buddhist Culture and New York My Poetry, etc. The publication of this poetry collection aims to introduce Chinese culture overseas in a new way, and, meanwhile, provide reference for overseas readers to understand different Chinese poetry styles, poetry emotions, poetry thinking and art of creation. In addition, readers can also experience the similarities and differences, fun and charm of Chinese and English cultures from the aspect of the translation from Chinese to English.99 poems written by the author have been selected in this poetry collection, “99” means “forever” in Chinese homophony and has a profound meaning in Chinese culture.
Описание: The author analyzes the functional and material conditions of literary culture in England between 1630 and 1700. In a series of case studies he demonstrates how experiences of contingency lead to a fundamental realignment of literary effects. In the process, a new cultural configuration emerges, affecting a wide array of social practices and institutions from poetry to politics and from epistemology to civility. The book thus offers a timely reassessment of English neoclassicism, the much neglected period between Shakespeare and the novel.

Описание: Ovid Unseens provides a bank of 80 practice passages of Latin verse, half elegiac and half hexameter.
Taken from across Ovid's works, including the Metamorphoses, Fasti, Heroides, Amores and Tristia, the passages help build students' knowledge and confidence in a notoriously difficult element of Latin language learning.
Every passage begins with an introduction, outlining the basic story and theme of the passage, followed by a 'lead-in' sentence, paraphrasing the few lines before the passage begins.
The first set of passages are translation exercises of 12-16 lines, each accompanied by a Discendum box which highlights a key feature of poetic Latin, equipping students further with the skills to tackle ever more difficult verse passages at first sight.
These are followed by longer passages with scansion exercises and questions on comprehension and stylistic analysis, replicating unseen verse exam questions in full.
The comprehensive introduction provides an overview of Ovid's life and work, an account of some of the stylistic features of his poetry, and practical help in the form of tips on how to approach the more challenging lines of Latin verse and produce a fluent translation.
A step-by-step guide to scansion, with practice exercises and answers, covers the essential principles for scanning lines of Latin verse, from the basics of understanding syllables, feet and types of metres, to coping with elision and caesurae. A guideline verse vocabulary list is provided which covers words particularly common in Ovid's works. Broken down into small 'checklists', each corresponding to a group of four passages, the vocabulary is learnt cumulatively and as it is encountered.
