Sinopsis

"Fierce warres and faithful loves shall moralize my song."

Step into the enchanted realm of Faerie Land, a world where every forest path leads to a moral trial and every monster represents a vice of the human soul. Commissioned to celebrate the glory of the Tudor dynasty, Edmund Spenser's masterpiece is one of the longest and most intricate poems in the English language. It follows a series of knights—each representing a particular virtue—as they battle wizards, giants, and their own internal failings.

The Birth of the Spenserian Stanza: Experience the lush, musical beauty of a poetic form invented specifically for this work. Spenser's unique nine-line stanza, with its interlocking rhyme scheme and final "Alexandrine" line, creates a dreamlike pace that mirrors the wandering "errant" journeys of his heroes. This style would go on to influence giants of literature from Byron to Keats.

A Mirror for a Queen: At the heart of the poem is Gloriana, the Faerie Queene, a multifaceted allegory for Elizabeth I. Through characters like the warrior-maid Britomart (representing Chastity) and the Redcrosse Knight (representing Holiness), Spenser provides a manual for "fashioning a gentleman or noble person in virtuous and gentle discipline." It is a work of Arthurian legend, Protestant theology, and political intrigue woven into a breathtaking tapestry.

The ultimate fusion of fantasy and philosophy. Purchase "The Faerie Queene" today and lose yourself in the foundational epic of the English Renaissance.

    Two lads. Twelve hours. One million pounds.
    On the rain-drenched West Cumbrian coast, James and Kamran have been mates for more than a decade. They're seventeen, so the world should be theirs – but Workington is a ghost town, an unemployment blackspot where lasses drink Bacardi by the pint and boys don't cry.
    When James discovers he is heir to a single mile of the British railway network, the lads set out on a high-stakes chase through town, where annihilated aunties, Snakebite-drenched drag queens and a zombie Princess Diana are lying in wait.
    Lee Mattinson's Steel is a hilarious and heartfelt play about first loves, forging identities and the wild, wild hearts of teenage boys. It was first performed at Theatre by the Lake, Keswick, in 2024 followed by a UK tour.

  • The Poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge - Hugely influential co-founder of the Romantic movement in England - cover

    The Poetry of Samuel Taylor...

    Samuel Taylor Coleridge was born on October 21st, 1772 in Ottery St Mary in Devon. 
    As a child he was an early and devoted reader and, after being schooled at Christ's Hospital, a charity school, he attended, from 1791, Jesus College, Cambridge and the following year won the Browne Gold Medal for an ode on the slave trade. 
    He was great friends with the poet Robert Southey, indeed they formed a plan, soon abandoned, in 1795, to found a utopian commune-like society, called Pantisocracy, in the wilds of Pennsylvania. But the same year the two friends married sisters Sarah and Edith Fricker and, of course, went on to be part of the Lake Poets movement along with Wordsworth. 
    In 1798, Coleridge and Wordsworth published a joint volume of poetry, Lyrical Ballads, which proved to be the starting point for the English romantic age. 
    In the autumn he and Wordsworth left for a stay in Germany; Coleridge soon went his own way immersing himself in both German philosophy and the language, which later proved invaluable for his translations. 
    In 1800, he returned to England and settled with his family at Keswick in the Lake District, near to where Wordsworth had moved. Soon, however, he was beset by marital problems, illnesses, a growing opium dependency, tensions with Wordsworth, and a lack of confidence in his poetic powers, all of which fuelled the composition of Dejection: An Ode and an intensification of his philosophical studies. He abandoned his family to Southey's care and departed on new travels. 
    Between 1810 and 1820, this "giant among dwarfs", as he was often considered, gave a series of lectures in London and Bristol. Much of Coleridge's reputation as a literary critic is founded on the lectures from the winter of 1810–11 a series on Shakespeare and Milton. Although he rarely prepared anything other than loose notes and was inclined to digress, these lectures were a huge literary event and success. 
    By this time Coleridge was dependent on opium and by 1817 his solution was to live in Highgate under the watchful eye of physician James Gillman where his dependency was somewhat controlled and his output of work could continue.  These included his 23 volume Biographia Literaria, Sibylline Leaves (1817), Aids to Reflection (1825), and Church and State (1826). 
    He died in Highgate, London on 25 July 1834 as a result of heart failure and a lung disorder together with the long term effects of opium.

    The stereotypical image of a poet is one of unknown talent starving in a garret and who’s faithfulness and legacy to the art is discovered only after their death. 
    In some cases this is undoubtedly true, but Poets being human and with the same building blocks of physical and mental health as the rest of us, also had the same afflictions and problems as the rest of us.   
    The long roll call of names and the truncated legacies that were left behind is filled with these lost talents. 
    In this volume the despair at life in general and their art in particular ruins lives in a few short moments.  Do their poems reflect this upcoming tragedy or at a particular point are they simply overwhelmed by what they see as a hopeless situation.   
    The long roll call and the truncated legacies that were left behind is filled with the names of these lost talents.
