A Florentine Tragedy and La...

Robert Baldwin Ross

Two short fragments: an unfinished and a lost play. A Florentine Tragedy, left in a taxi (not a handbag), is Wilde’s most successful attempt at tragedy – intense and domestic, with surprising depth of characterisation. It was adapted into an opera by the Austrian composer Alexander Zemlinsky in 1917. La Sainte Courtisane, or The Woman Covered in Jewels explores one of Wilde’s great idées fixes: the paradox of religious hedonism, pagan piety. Both plays, Wildean to their core, revel in the profound sadness that is the fruit of the conflict between fidelity and forbidden love. Written towards the end of his tragic life, these fragments give us a glimpse of a genius at his best: visceral, passionate, personal, poetic.

St Andrews Day - A Holiday in Verse

Alexander Anderson, Robert...

Scotland’s official national day is St Andrew's Day, the feast day of Saint Andrew. 
In the bible it is Andrew who introduces his brother Peter to Jesus as the Messiah.  As well as Scotland he is also the Patron Saint of the likes of Russia, Greece, the Ukraine, and Barbados. 
It is thought that the day was first celebrated over a thousand years ago in the reign of Malcolm III (1034–1093). 
In both Scotland and those many countries with connections to, or who have a sizable Scottish population in these more modern times, it is a welcome display of heritage, culture and the fine traits of Scottish hospitality with food, music and dance. 
St Andrews Day is also the start of the Scottish winter festivals and thence follow Hogmanay and Burns Night. 
In this volume we celebrate the very finest of classic Scottish poets. From Burns to Stevenson, from Anderson to Baillie. And celebrate we should.

The Unearthing - A Literary Mixtape

Somara Theodore

The Unearthing is a brief collection of poems best accompanied by the written book. It takes on the age old poetry style of rhyming and cadence. The author's vision was to create a palette of words so vulnerable that the reader is able to paint their own pain, sorrow and joy onto the words and find healing in the release.
