Sinopsis

In "Matthew Arnold," George Saintsbury offers a comprehensive critique of the titular poet and critic, delving into Arnold's thematic concerns, stylistic nuances, and his position within the Victorian literary landscape. This biographical and analytical work is characterized by its eloquent prose and deep literary analysis, bringing to light Arnold's contributions to poetry and literary criticism. Saintsbury artfully navigates Arnold's seminal ideas on culture, morality, and aesthetics, situating them against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society, thus providing essential context for understanding Arnold's enduring influence in literature. George Saintsbury was a prominent literary scholar and critic himself, known for his extensive writings on English literature. His passion for literature and keen intellect were undoubtedly shaped by his own experiences in academia and his exposure to various literary movements. This background not only informs his insightful observations into Arnold's work, but also connects the dots between the historical influences that shaped Arnold's thought process and the literary currents of the time, rendering the biographer's perspective particularly rich and engaging. Readers who seek a deeper understanding of Matthew Arnold's legacy will find Saintsbury's scholarly examination invaluable. By merging biography and criticism, the book serves as an essential resource for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the evolution of literary thought. It invites readers to reassess their own interpretations of Arnold while appreciating the intricate tapestry of 19th-century literature.

    ‘A persuasive manifesto for a better Britain.’ Observer Book of the Day 
    Britain needs a fresh start. This timely book by one of the stars of the new government shows how to achieve it. 
    In this brilliant and accessible intervention, Lisa Nandy reveals how Britain can leave behind the mess in which we find ourselves. All In charts a course towards a fairer, more equal, more prosperous country by drawing on the greatest asset we have – each other. 
    Rapid global changes, political division and economic crisis have left Britain reeling. For decades, large swathes of the country have been shut out, condemned to low productivity, underinvestment and managed decline, and stripped of their voice. With most major cities now beset with high housing costs, air pollution and congestion, even the ‘winners’ are losing. 
    All In shows how, by handing power and resources to people with a stake in the outcome, Britain can draw on the talent, assets and potential in every part of the country and start firing on all cylinders again. Finding strength rather than fear in our differences, it reimagines the relationship between people and government so that all of us can play our part in meeting the challenges of our age and rebuilding Britain the only way that works – together. 
    Lucid, clear-eyed and hopeful, this book sets out how we restore values, energy and direction to our politics and offers a glimpse of the alternative future that remains within our grasp. 
    Nandy's autobiography is a personal exploration of the process of political change, offering a best case scenario for a united, prosperous Britain. Drawing on history and economics, she presents a compelling vision for the 21st century. 
    For fans of Wes Streeting (One Boy, Two Bills and a Fry Up), Gordon Brown (My Life, Our Times), Jess Phillips (Truth to Power), Chris Bryant (Code of Conduct), and Sebastian Payne (Broken Heartlands).

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    In these Isles of Imperial Empire the English language is now the lingua franca of the globe.  But between the Home nations tensions remain, they rise and fall, all is not well.  Authors born abroad and returning have new views, unique, a little off-kilter and literature feeds well on this fuel.  Together the men of these islands produce literature of quite sumptuous quality.

    Breaking the Rules 
     
    Leading with heart, authenticity, and purpose, Thomas Vozzo provides a clear path to a new bottom line—including 55 rules to break—bringing the Homeboy Way to life as the perfect antidote to the massive tidal currents of social injustice and inequities. 
     
    By every traditional measurement of success, Vozzo was a clear winner. In his world of billion-dollar revenues and million-dollar profits, he knew exactly what shareholders wanted and how to get it for them.  
     
    Then, through a series of fateful events, Vozzo landed as CEO of Homeboy Industries, the most successful gang intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the country, founded by Jesuit priest Greg Boyle. “I arrived at Homeboy at a time when I needed to  
    learn more about myself and my life’s journey,” Vozzo writes. “And after 8 years of working with the poor, forgotten, and demonized people of our society, I’ve come to learn that I didn’t really know as much about life as I thought.” 
     
    Vozzo’s enlightening journey leads to his recognition that a radical approach is needed in business and in life: “What Homeboy has taught me is that we need to do business differently. … We need to bust up the system, swim upstream, avoid herd mentality.” 
     
    Blending personal stories of his day-to-day with Fr. Greg and the homies along with counterintuitive business ideas that are changing lives for the better, Vozzo shows you how you can live, lead, and shake things up with kinship, determination, compassion, and grit. 
     
    That’s the Homeboy Way.
