Beschreibung

In 'William Blake,' Algernon Charles Swinburne embarks on an incisive examination of one of English literature's most enigmatic figures. The book marries rich poetry with fervent prose, reflecting Swinburne's admiration for Blake's innovative spirit and unique artistic philosophy. Swinburne's literary style oscillates between lyrical reverence and analytical rigor, as he delves into Blake's themes of visionary mysticism, social critique, and the tension between imagination and reality. Set against the backdrop of the Romantic era, this work invites readers to explore Blake's complex persona while considering the socio-political influences of his time. Algernon Charles Swinburne, a Victorian poet known for his groundbreaking use of meter and a fervent embrace of aestheticism, was profoundly influenced by Blake's revolutionary spirit. Struggling with his own identity within the rigid confines of Victorian society, Swinburne's fascination with Blake'Äôs counter-cultural stance and his use of myth and allegory reflects a deep desire to challenge conventional norms. This biography emerges from Swinburne's own quest for artistic autonomy and an understanding of the imaginative power that Blake epitomizes. 'William Blake' is highly recommended for scholars, poets, and anyone intrigued by the interplay of art and rebellion. Swinburne'Äôs profound insight and passionate advocacy for Blake not only illuminate the life of the poet-artist but also encourage readers to engage with the broader implications of creativity and imagination in their own lives. This book is essential for those wishing to understand the roots of modern poetic discourse.

    "You fool of a boy!" William's father screamed. "You had the world ahead of you, and you threw it away for some religious meeting. Why, Parliament has ordered the heads of a dozen Puritans to be stuck on poles around the city as a warning against disobeying the law. Have you thought of that? Have you thought of anything?"With the favor William's father enjoyed in Britain's royal court, all William had to do was show himself to be a faithful royalist, and wealth and privilege would be his. Instead he chose to follow his conscience--to expulsion from university, disinheritance, imprisonment, and the threat of death.In a world where freedoms were subject to the whims of rulers, William Penn worked passionately for religious tolerance. When this Quaker reformer secured a land grant in America, he laid for Pennsylvania a foundation of liberty, justice, fairness, and tolerance that would later guide the drafting of the Constitution of the United States.The stories of Heroes of History are told in an engaging narrative format, where related history, geography, government, and science topics come to life and make a lasting impression. This is a premier biography line for the entire family.

    Children’s future successes depend on developing the abilities to innovate, be resilient in the face of their mistakes, problem-solve creatively, and collaborate with peers effectively. However, standard American educational practices—stressing memorization, grades, and testing—are failing to foster these skills. There is one complete system of education that effectively supports the natural development of such essential abilities: Montessori. Montessori education expert Paula Lillard Preschlack offers a clear explanation of how the Montessori approach helps children. By looking closely at authentic Montessori practices, she shows the tight correlation between the Montessori system in action and children practicing and strengthening the very traits they will need for adulthood.

    There is no death in the Osirian religion, only decay and change, and periodic renewal; only evolution and transformation in the domain of matter and the transubstantiation into spirit. In the so-called death of Osiris it is rebirth, not death, exactly the same as in the changes of external nature. At the close of the day the solar orb went down and left the sun god staring blankly in the dark of death. Taht the moon god met him in Amenta with the eye of Horus as the light the was to illuminate the darkness of the subterranean world. –from “Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Mysteries of Amenta” It goes unappreciated by modern Egyptologists, but it is embraced by those who savor the concept of a “hidden history” of humanity, and those who approach all human knowledge from the perspective of the esoteric. Gerard Massey’s massive Ancient Egypt: The Light of the World–first published in 1907 and the crowning achievement of the self-taught scholar–redefines the roots of Christianity via Egypt, proposing that Egyptian mythology was the basis for Jewish and Christian beliefs. Here, Cosimo proudly presents Book 4 of Ancient Egypt, in which Massey discusses the Egyptian Book of the Dead as the “pre-Christian word of God,” and explores the idea that Amenta, the threshold to the Egyptian underworld, is the first overt expression of a human desire for a noncorporeal afterlife. Massey goes on to connect the “mystery of the mummy” to “the mystery of the Christ” by likening the Christian dogma of physical resurrection to the Egyptian impetus for mummification. Peculiar and profound, this work will intrigue and delight readers of history, religion, and mythology. British author GERALD MASSEY (1828-1907) published works of poetry, spiritualism, Shakespearean criticism, and theology, but his best-known works are in the realm of Egyptology, including A Book of the Beginnings and The Natural Genesis.
