Sinopsis

In "Green Bays. Verses and Parodies," Arthur Quiller-Couch masterfully intertwines his nuanced understanding of poetic form with a playful yet discerning critique of literary conventions. This collection showcases Quiller-Couch's adeptness in various styles, ranging from lyrical verses infused with vivid imagery to sharp and witty parodies that comment on contemporary writers and cultural attitudes of his time. His work sits comfortably within the early 20th-century British literary context, where the interplay between tradition and modernity invites both homage and satire, making this collection a rich field for literary analysis. Arthur Quiller-Couch, an influential figure in the literary scene and a noted scholar, served as the professor of English Literature at Cambridge. His extensive background in classical literature and his keen editorial prowess, evidenced through his later work on "The Oxford Book of English Verse," undoubtedly shaped his approach to "Green Bays." Quiller-Couch's profound interest in the mechanics of language and rhythm reflects his desire to engage with and sometimes challenge existing literary norms, a theme prevalent throughout this collection. This collection is highly recommended for readers and scholars alike, as it not only offers a delightful assortment of verse but also invites deep reflection on the art of poetry itself. Whether you are a seasoned reader of poetry or a newcomer seeking a diversified experience, Quiller-Couch's engaging verses and clever parodies will resonate, provoke thought, and inspire appreciation for the multifaceted nature of literary expression.

    Macbeth and his wife show how bad the evil that can possess human souls is. But evil is not all powerful. On the one hand, Macbeth is the gloomiest of the great Shakespeare's tragedies; on the other hand, it's more encouraging than Hamlet, Othello or King Lear. In no other tragedy as in Macbeth the evil is confronted by so many people, and nowhere else they are so active.
    Shakespeare is the author of the world famous sonnets and plays: Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth and Othello, as well as comedies Twelfth Night, A Midsummer's Night Dream, Love's Labour's Lost, The Merry Wives of Windsor, The Two Gentlemen of Verona and As You Like It. William Shakespeare is the most performed playwright, the works of the great English poet have been on top of the world theatre stages for some centuries already.
