Synopsis

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.

    The highly acclaimed Russian classic of twentieth-century theatre about a wealthy family unable to let go of the past or face the future. At the turn of the century, Russia is undergoing massive changes. Feudalism has ended, the middle class is growing, and the aristocracy are uncertain of their future . . .  The cherry orchard on the Ranevskaya grounds is known throughout the country for its beauty, but it now sits on the brink of ruin. The entire estate is headed for auction if the family cannot pay off their debts. The land’s fate lies in the hands of the family’s matriarch, Madame Ranevskaya, recently returned from five years in Paris where she wasted away much of her fortunes.  Neither Ranevskaya nor anyone else in her household can fathom the gravity of the situation. But a merchant, the son of a former serf on the land, has an idea . . .  Written in 1903, The Cherry Orchard premiered in Moscow in 1904. It was Chekhov’s last play before his death that same year. Since then, the work has been translated and adapted into numerous languages and performed around the world.

    Gibran Khalil Gibran was born on 6th January 1883 in the village of Bsharri, Beirut Vilayet, then part of the Ottoman Empire 
    His mother took him and his siblings to the United States in 1895 where he was enrolled into a Boston school and his creative talents soon noted.  He was sent home to be schooled at the Collège de la Sagesse in Beirut but returned to Boston following the death of his youngest sister in 1902.  Within a year his mother had also died. 
    In 1904, Gibran's drawings were displayed for the first time and, a year later, his first book, in Arabic, was published in New York City.  With financial help from a benefactress he studied art in Paris from 1908 and here his path crossed with dissident Syrian exiles.  Over the years he would meet many more like-minded exiles who were exploring ways to overthrow the yoke of the Ottoman Empire.   
    By 1911 he had settled in New York working on his drawings and paintings which were now being regularly exhibited. His writing was also attracting much attention and gaining an audience.   
    His first book in English, ‘The Madman’ became an international phenomenon.  Whilst his writing has overshadowed his visual works there is no doubt that a copy of ‘The Mad Man’ is never far from any bookshelf.  This and other works have ensured his stature as an artist is world-wide and that it continues into these more modern times.  Gibran was regarded as a literary rebel and a leading figure of the Arabic literary Renaissance and made influential contributions to Western poetry, stories and thought. 
    Khalil Gibran died on 10th April 1931 in New York City from cirrhosis and incipient tuberculosis in one lung.  He was 48.
