Munsee Delaware, an Eastern Algonquian language, is spoken by a small and steadily declining number of individuals. The Delaware-speaking peoples originally lived in the area of what is now New York City, adjacent regions of New York State, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. Today, a small number of speakers of the closely related Unami Delaware language are located in Oklahoma, and, of the three sites where Munsee Delaware was the predominant Delaware language spoken in Canada, only Moraviantown, Ontario, has surviving speakers.

Myth, Depravity, Impasse

An in-depth study of Robert Graves, the modern theory of myth and Ted Hughes, with further reference to Shakespeare...

The period covered in this book ranges from the early part of the 20th century right through to its end-roughly from the death of Chekhov to that of Ted Hughes. The question is raised whether the vision of the modern world that opened up to the authors of this period does not still apply in our own time.

The book's main theme is the finality of modern nothingness. What remains that is superhumanly possible, despite all appearances that nothing more and nothing new is left to man to break through with? Civilization for these authors had become denuded of all of its vital forces, and it...

O Meara s work is the perfect supplement to Ted] Hughes s Shakespeare and the Goddess of Complete Being, shedding further illumination into those areas where Hughes s penetrating lens finally appears to dim. This work] shines utterly clear light on the path of understanding we may re-win with regard to myth, forcing the reader to face the incredible starkness of the prospect we face and the lack of options ever closing in and also giving the reader the necessary clues to follow, particularly Barfield, Shakespeare and Rudolf Steiner. Richard Ramsbotham, author of "Who Wrote Bacon?...

Recent interest in who Shakespeare's Muse may have been prompts one to come forthto dispel the drastically simplistic notions that have been brought forward.In this essay John O'Meara suggests where our concern with Shakespeare shouldactually lie or what form of Muse we can suppose it was that commanded hisdevelopment the way it did.

Shakespeare was fated for a certain experience from which he could not extricatehimself, even if he had wished to. Highlighted is his struggle with Martin Luther'sinjunction to imagine human depravity to the fullest, with which O'Meara comparesthe route...

This collection of texts, in presenting Rudolf Steiner's highly evolved understanding of the nature of thinking, points the direction to take today to carry on with the work of Goethe, of Coleridge and of Emerson as the three principal spokesmen for Romantic Imagination in 19th century Europe and America.

Their Romantic epoch came to an end, because the creative thought that served that epoch could not fully satisfy the requirements of thinking or the further necessity of theory that properly characterize our own age.

But Romantic tradition continues, with the full theory and culture...

These are the main issues arising out of Western literary tradition that John O'Meara explores in this book.

In the work of Robert Graves, Shakespeare, and Keats, O'Meara sees the deepest expression at once of our most far-reaching hopes and our sadly alienated case in respect of any mythical experience we may conceive of having in the immediate...

As the third part of his trilogy on Shakespeare, "Prospero's Powers" extends the study of the late plays O'Meara offered in "Othello's Sacrifice," to consider more closely how Shakespeare fulfills his personal artistic development in "The Tempest."

The play is seen as expressing in its structure the whole of Shakespeare's tragic development up to that time. Great powers of self-knowledge and of inner knowledge of the cosmos are shown to have emerged from this development, which Prospero now embodies. Structural links are pursued that further connect Prospero's powers with the mysterious...

Until the launch of this series in 1985, the 15,000 volumes of the ancient Greek commentators on Aristotle, written mainly between 200 and 600 AD, constituted the largest corpus of extant Greek philosophical writings not translated into English or other European languages.
Syrianus, originally from Alexandria, moved to Athens and became the head of the Academy there after the death of Plutarch of Athens. Syrianus attacked Aristotle in his commentary on Books 13 and 14 of the Metaphysics, just as his pupil Proclus was to do later in his commentaries on Plato. This is because in...

Syrianus, originally from Alexandria, moved to Athens and became the head of the Academy there after the death of Plutarch of Athens. This discussion of Aristotle's Metaphysics 3-4 shows how metaphysics, as a philosophical science, was conceived by the Neoplatonic philosopher of Late Antiquity. The questions raised by Aristotle in Metaphysics 3 regarding the scope of metaphysics are answered by Syrianus, who also criticises the alternative answers explored by Aristotle. In presenting Metaphysics 4, Syrianus explains in what sense metaphysics deals with 'being as being'...
