Summary

In "A Key to Lord Tennyson's 'In Memoriam,'" Alfred Gatty provides an intricate and insightful exegesis of Tennyson's celebrated poem, which mourns the death of the poet'Äôs close friend Arthur Hallam. Gatty meticulously analyzes each section of Tennyson'Äôs grieving reflection, delving into its themes of love, loss, and spiritual resurrection. His literary style is marked by clarity and precision, making complex emotional and philosophical depths accessible to readers. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, Gatty'Äôs work situates Tennyson'Äôs poem within the broader discourse on death, mourning, and the search for meaning in an era marked by profound change and uncertainty. Alfred Gatty, a notable figure in Victorian literature and the wife of the influential Anglican clergyman and author, grew up in an environment steeped in literary and religious tradition. Her own experiences with grief, particularly in relation to familial loss, surely informed her desire to elucidate Tennyson's work. Gatty'Äôs background as an author and editor of religious texts provided her with a unique perspective, enabling her to approach Tennyson'Äôs elegy with both reverence and intellectual rigor. This book comes highly recommended for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of Victorian literature alike. Gatty's insightful commentary not only enhances the reader's understanding of "In Memoriam" but also invites personal reflection on the universal themes of grief and hope, making it a valuable companion for anyone grappling with loss.

    Has populism won? Two experts show us how and why this disturbing global political trend has taken root and what it will take to turn the tide
    		 
    From Trump’s America to Putin’s Russia, and from Poland to the Philippines, rapid change and rising inequality have fueled a retreat into tribalist nationalism fed by a fear of being left behind. Populist leaders tap into this fear, with empty promises of looking out for the little guy and promising a return to national greatness. This is happening in countries across the globe and the political spectrum, arising in the right and the left alike. So why are we so susceptible to this pernicious political style at this moment? How did we get here? Will we get back to more even-handed governments? And more importantly, how has the global insurgency captured high offices across the globe, winning election after election? And more importantly, if Putin is defeated in his unprovoked war on Ukraine, will vociferous publics turn against the insurgency? Liberal democracy is at a turning point, as system smashers aren’t about to go quietly into the night, and there are few viable alternatives in the wings.
    		 
    Political scientists Drache and Froese have turned original research into a compelling analysis of the rise of populism and reveal what it will take to douse the flames. This is an essential read for anyone concerned about the encroachments on freedom and the rule of law around the world.
