Summary

In 'Lyrics of Earth' by Archibald Lampman, the reader is immersed in a collection of nature poetry that reflects the author's deep appreciation for the beauty and tranquility of the natural world. Lampman's lyrical style and vivid imagery transport the audience to serene landscapes filled with the whispering of the wind and the songs of birds. The poems explore themes of unity with nature, the passage of time, and the fragility of life, showcasing Lampman's keen observation and sensitivity to the environment. Written in the late 19th century during the height of the Romantic movement, 'Lyrics of Earth' stands out as a timeless work that continues to resonate with readers today. Archibald Lampman, a Canadian poet known for his nature poetry, drew inspiration from his surroundings in Ottawa and the wilderness of Canada. His love for nature and keen ability to capture its essence are evident in 'Lyrics of Earth', making him a prominent figure in Canadian literature. I highly recommend 'Lyrics of Earth' to those who appreciate lyrical poetry that celebrates the beauty and harmony of the natural world, as well as those interested in the Romantic literary movement and Canadian literature.

    "Greek Tragedy" is meticulously edited collection of the most famous plays written by Aeschylus and Sophocles. 
Aeschylus (525/524 – c. 456/455 BC) was an ancient Greek tragedian. He is often described as the father of tragedy. According to Aristotle, he expanded the number of characters in theater allowing conflict among them; characters previously had interacted only with the chorus.
Sophocles (c. 497/6 – 406/5 BC) is one of three ancient Greek tragedians whose plays have survived. His first plays were written later than those of Aeschylus, and earlier than or contemporary with those of Euripides. Sophocles wrote over 120 plays. For almost 50 years, Sophocles was the most celebrated playwright in the dramatic competitions of the city-state of Athens.

    Rosmersholm is a play written in 1886 by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. In the estimation of many critics the piece is Ibsen's masterwork, only equalled by The Wild Duck of 1884. As expressed by the protagonist, Rosmer, the theme of the play is social and political change, in which the traditional ruling classes relinquish their right to impose their ideals on the rest of society, but the action is entirely personal, resting on the conduct of the immoral, or amoral, "free thinking" heroine, Rebecca, who sets herself to undermine Rosmer's religious and political beliefs because of his influential position in the community. Rebecca has abandoned not only Christianity but, unlike Rosmer, she has abandoned the whole ethical system of Christianity as well. Possibly she may be taken as Ibsen's answer to the question of whether or not Christian ethics can be expected to survive the death of the Christian religion.
