Synopsis

Old Songs emerges as a revitalizing anthology that celebrates the rich tapestry of lyrical and poetic traditions rooted in early modern England. This collection showcases a formidable array of styles'Äîfrom pastoral musings to politically charged verse'Äîunderscoring the profound diversity and innovation of the era. Standout pieces capture the resonant themes of love, loss, nature, and national identity, each work contributing to a grand mosaic of cultural reflection. Critical engagement with these themes offers readers a nuanced understanding of the intellectual and emotional currents that shaped the landscape of English Renaissance literature. The anthology'Äôs strength lies in the profound contributions from esteemed poets such as Edmund Spenser and George Wither, whose works collectively coalesce to forge an enriching narrative of the times. Their writing, influenced by the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras, reflects the confluence of personal and public realms, of traditional and innovative literary boundaries. The dialogic interplay among these voices illustrates the collective endeavor to explore human experience through the spoken and unspoken contours of poetic expression. Old Songs promises to be an invaluable resource for readers seeking an immersive journey through the poetic sensibilities of a transformational epoch. The anthology offers an unparalleled opportunity for audiences to engage deeply with a spectrum of perspectives, inviting a broader, more inclusive conversation on the interplay of tradition and innovation. Ideal for literary scholars and enthusiasts alike, this volume is a testament to the enduring power of old songs reimagined, fostering a dialogue that bridges the past and present with poignant equilibrium.

    Bringing the Shovel Down maps the long and arduous process of being inculcated with the mythologies of state and power, the ramifications of that inculcation (largely, the loss of our humanity in the service of maintaining those mythologies), and finally, what it might mean, what it might provide us, if we were to transform those myths. The book, finally, has one underlying question: How might we better love one another?

    Two of the most influential and early feminist plays to have ever graced the stage, we have have Miss Julie and The Stronger. 
    Miss Julie is a one act tragedy that finds itself in a similar vein as Henrik Ibsen's "Hedda Gabbler" and "A Doll's House," in which the main woman of the play (Miss Julie) tries to take hold of her own destiny and break away from the system that has failed to meet her needs, but is unable (or unwilling) to see the consequences of her own actions--a desperate cry for legitimacy to a society that seems indifferent to her struggle. 
    The Stronger, in comparison, is a ten minute play about the fallout of such a decision, and confronting that catalyst many years later--a contemplation on the manipulation of thought (both of the main character and the object of her insecurities) and the forgetfulness of coping.

    "Agamemnon" is the first of the three linked tragedies which make up "The Oresteia" trilogy by the ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus. Trilogy as a whole, originally performed at the annual Dionysia festival in Athens in 458 BCE, where it won first prize, is considered to be Aeschylus' last authenticated, and also his greatest, work.
    "Agamemnon" describes the homecoming of Agamemnon, king of Argos, from the Trojan War, and his return to his wife, Clytemnestra, who had been planning his murder (in concert with her lover, Aegisthus) as revenge for Agamemnon's earlier sacrifice of their daughter, Iphigenia.

    Read by the author, Jake Hawkey.In But & Though, Jake Hawkey scrutinizes the impact of parental addiction on families, its title a nod to the language of dependency, its circles of prevarication and excuse.Hawkey’s poems chart the loss of a father and the resilient love between siblings, and take an unflinching look at a parent–child relationship sometimes painfully inverted through alcoholism.Hawkey’s fresh perspective and playful style introduces a vital, authentic new voice in British poetry. It will appeal also to those interested in the wider literature of addiction and the complexities of urban working-class life in Britain. Hawkey approaches these subjects from highly original and personal angles, breathing life into his characters and settings. Ultimately, we come to know a young writer attempting to ‘detach with love’ as he strides forward into his own life.
