Minor Romantic Poets

Charles Lamb others

Charles Lamb's poems are unabashedly sentimental, and perhaps for this reason he is still remembered as a poet and widely read today. Mary Lamb with Charles Lamb produced many well-known collections of poetry and prose for children. Hartley Coleridge published poems in the London Magazine. He excelled at composing sonnets and published a short collection, Poems. In his time, John Clare was commonly known as "the Northamptonshire Peasant Poet". He wrote in Northamptonshire dialect, introducing local words to the literary canon. His early work expresses delight in nature and the cycle of the rural year. Leigh Hunt's vivid descriptions and lyrical quality are noteworthy, as is his keen delight in nature, and he is a master of mood and atmosphere. As a poet, Walter Savage Landor was best known for his classic epigrams and idylls. Most of Dorothy Wordsworth's writing explores the natural world. Hannah More can be said to have made three reputations in the course of her long life: as a poet and playwright in the circle of Johnson, Reynolds and Garrick, as a writer on moral and religious subjects, and as a practical philanthropist. Sir Walter Scott's first love and earliest success was as a poet. Indeed, it is no understatement to say that he was the best-read, best-reviewed and best-paid poet of the Romantic period: Robert Southey was perhaps the most versatile, as well as one of the most prolific. He produced epics, romances, and metrical tales, ballads, plays, monodramas, odes, eclogues, sonnets, and miscellaneous lyrics. Mary Robinson became distinguished for her poetry and was reclassified as "the English Sappho" by the English public. She wrote eight collections of poems.

Lonely and unloved by her father and older sister, and considered of little consequence by her married sister Mary, Anne leads a dull life. However, after the naval war ends, Frederick Wentworth returns to England having earned prestige and fortune. Seven years have now passed. But has Anne gained enough independence from her family and social circle to choose her own future? And do her ties to Captain Wentworth remain unbroken? 
In this delightful audiobook, all 24 chapters are masterfully brought to life by seasoned vocal artist Stephanie Poppins. Her bright and energetic performance expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone.

Transitional - In One Way or...

Munroe Bergdorf

The wise, life-changing, ground-breaking book from writer and activist Munroe Bergdorf. 
Transitioning is an alignment of the invisible and the physical. It is truth rising to the surface. It is one of the most fundamental aspects of the human condition—a part of our experience as a conscious being, no matter who we are. 
As time goes on, we all develop as people. None of us ever becomes someone else entirely—regardless of how we identify—but nor do we stay the same forever. We all transition. It's what binds us, not what separates us. 
In Transitional, activist and writer Munroe Bergdorf draws on her own experience and theory from key experts, change-makers and activists to reveal just how deeply ingrained transitioning is in human experience. 
This is a book to help bring us closer to a shared consciousness: a powerful guide to how our differences can be harnessed as a tool to heal, build community, and construct a better society.
