Oliver's Surprise: A Boy, a Schooner and the Great Hurricane of 1938

While the main character is a 12 year old boy, Oliver's story, and the story of a powerful weather event that still reverberates along the east coast, is more than appropriate for an adult audience. Written by a 2004 Olympian in sailing, this charming story...

The Politics of Romantic Poetry: In Search of the Pure Commonwealth
ISBN: 9781349414239 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In recent years critics of Romantic poetry have divided into two groups that have little to say to one another. One group, as yet the most numerous, insists that to study a poem is to investigate the historical circumstances out of which it was produced; the other retorts that poetry offers pleasures fully available only to readers whose attention is focused on their language. This book attempts to reconcile the two groups by arguing that a poet's most effective political action is the forging of a new language, and that the political import of a poem is a function of its style.
