Beschreibung

In "The Complete Poetry of George MacDonald," readers are treated to a comprehensive anthology that encapsulates the rich tapestry of MacDonald's poetic imagination. Drawing from a variety of themes including nature, spirituality, and the human condition, the collection showcases MacDonald's signature blend of romanticism and mystical elements. His literary style, characterized by lyrical beauty and philosophical depth, reflects the Victorian context in which he wrote, providing insight into the era'Äôs preoccupation with moral and existential questions. Within these pages, one can observe a profound engagement with allegory and narrative, inviting both emotional resonance and intellectual reflection, making this collection a cornerstone of Victorian poetry. George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a pioneering Scottish author, poet, and early fantasy writer whose works laid the groundwork for subsequent fantasy literature. Influenced by his Calvinist upbringing and the Romantic movement, MacDonald was also a close friend of figures such as Lewis Carroll and Mark Twain. His keen interest in the intersection of faith and imagination prompted him to explore profound spiritual themes in his poetry, often challenging societal norms and advocating for personal experience in matters of faith. This collected volume is essential for readers who seek a deeper understanding of Victorian literature and its philosophical undercurrents. Whether you are a scholar of poetry or a curious reader, MacDonald'Äôs profound insights and exquisite craftsmanship will enrich your literary journey, making this compilation a significant addition to any literary collection.

    The Most Charming Creatures - Poems

    With uncanny wit, inventive beauty, and numinous surprise, The Most Charming Creatures explores the contemporary and its language, considering our wonder, sorrow, bewilderment, anxiety, and tenderness. While these poems energize and connect and “turn the paren- / theses inside out so that / we mean everything,” they are also alive to the alluring complicity of language and its duplicity and deceptions. “This is the way the world ends / Not with a bang but / while we watch.”
    		 
    A follow-up to the award-winning author’s acclaimed selected poems, this new collection continues Barwin’s examination of the possibilities of the poem: a celebration, a story, an investigation, a riff, a word machine, a parable, a transformation. But what are the “most charming creatures” of the title? In 1862, scientific illustrator Ernst Haeckel termed radiolarians (ancient single-celled organisms with mineral skeletons) “the most charming creatures,” but here Barwin turns the microscope around to consider something just as strange and mysterious: language, our culture, and the self. From microorganisms, onion rings, grief, and Gerard Manley Hopkins to beetles, neoliberalism, sandwiches, Martin Luther, and stand-up comedy, he offers: “it’s a miracle that we’ve survived / it’s a miracle that we’ve survived at all.”

    If you cast a reasonable doubt in someone, are you responsible for their actions? Especially when that doubt was planted in order to manipulate? 
    This is one of the central questions posed in August Strindberg's "The Father," a three act play about a power struggle between the over-domineering Adolf and his wife Laura as they discuss the future plans for their child. All doubts come to a head, however, when Laura points out that a child's paternity can never be proven, and thus, under common law, strips Adolf of his power over the child. Through deceit, treachery, and manipulation, the plan to get rid of "The Father" is set in motion, and only time will tell if Adolf is a madman filled to the brim with jealous rage or righteous fury.

    Reaching higher than the Tower of Babel, shining brighter than the Golden Calf, such is the idol of the future man will raise to worship. A rocketship of immense size and power, the culmination of the best efforts earth has to offer. By compulsion or chicanery, all have been forced to build it. And all will be changed by the Apocalypse its fiery crash from orbit ushers in... 
    In the Wasteland, where ignorant armies continue to fight, a small community is spared, eking out a meagre existence amidst the peril and threat. Always on the edge of disaster, they persevere in hope, with skills honed in the old world. After all, had not terrifying angels, visiting out of the dust, promised all would soon change again in the blink of eye? But, the young cannot wait, and a daughter of the tribe takes matters into her own hands... 
    The journey of man is the journey of earth, for all was made for us, and for us to destroy. And it is not just some men, but all who must choose, what is to be their highest value, the Ultimate. Will it be the rocket, in orbit high above, or what all men can share in equally: the love which uplifts every hand, every heart, and every soul it touches. Man's enemy might tempt us to lies and idols, but in the end we learn he who endures will be saved.
