Sinossi

Alfred Noyes's 'Rada' artfully intertwines myth and reality, delving into the depths of human emotion against a hauntingly beautiful backdrop. This narrative poem encapsulates the universal themes of love, loss, and the intertwining of fate and desire. Noyes employs rich, evocative language and lyrical rhythms, reflecting the influence of Romanticism while also engaging with modernist sensibilities. The work can be situated within the literary context of the early 20th century, as Noyes grapples with the disillusionment of post-war society while recalling timeless mythic tales. Alfred Noyes, a prominent English poet, was renowned for his command of rhythm and imagery, yet it is his personal experiences—the tumultuous events of World War I and the consequent search for meaning—that imbue 'Rada' with a profound emotional depth. Noyes's background as a schoolteacher and his extensive travels informed his worldview, fuelling his poetic explorations of human connection and existential questioning. Readers seeking a richly woven narrative brought to life through vivid imagery and emotional resonance will find 'Rada' an essential addition to their literary repertoire. This poem not only showcases Noyes's poetic prowess but also invites readers to contemplate their own journeys within the tapestry of love and fate.

    4 STARS from Romantic Times:

    "With a wounded hero to sigh over, his precious princess, scandalous secrets about to be exposed and a rambunctious, hairy pug of a matchmaker, THE SECRET HUNTER is definitely a delightful historical." - J.T., Romance Junkies 
    "A lively and engaging Regency romance; author Susanne Saville has crafted a fresh look at the fun that can be had when a hairy matchmaker draws two unlikely protagonists together. Daniel is a hero to admire.... Together with Gwenllian the sexual tension is a palpable thing, humming along through the story....To witness their falling in love is beautiful, romantic and emotional while working together to foil a traitor." - Lettetia, Ecataromance
