Sinopse

In 'King Lear's Wife; The Crier by Night; The Riding to Lithend; Midsummer-Eve; Laodice and Danaë,' Gordon Bottomley presents a collection of plays that delve into the intricacies of human emotions, familial bonds, and societal norms. His literary style combines lyrical poetry with dramatic dialogue, evoking the metaphorical depths behind each character's plight. Thematically, Bottomley's works resonate with the complexities of love, betrayal, and redemption often found in Shakespearean narratives, yet he takes bold strides to explore these themes through a modern lens, making the ancient seem refreshingly relevant and poignant. Gordon Bottomley (1874-1948) was an English playwright and poet, whose diverse experience as a writer came from a background steeped in the artistic movements of his time. His journey through literature led him to examine the lives of isolated, often overlooked characters, paralleling his own struggles with identity and artistic expression. Bottomley's fascination with Shakespearean drama, combined with his interest in the metaphysical, culminates in this collection, reflecting both personal and universal dilemmas. This collection is a compelling read for those who appreciate the richness of character-driven narratives and the emotional resonance of poetic language. Literature enthusiasts, theatrical practitioners, and scholars alike will find Bottomley's work not only enlightening but also a celebration of the human experience—a must-have addition to any literary collection.

For much of history women have been seen rather than heard. Their thoughts, their views have lain too long in the shadows of our culture.  Whilst this traditional view has some merit it is not entirely accurate. 
Here, gathered together in these volumes, we can, through their words, experience their lives; we can hear their voices, their thoughts, joys, loves and losses. 
For the Female Poet there was always the confining hand of men to instruct that their time was perhaps spent more productively elsewhere.  These lines, these gilded verses often protest otherwise. 
The contribution of women in these earlier centuries is immense and in this series we bring together poets who have created some of the most beautiful and expressive verses ever written.  And remember these words, these telling lines, have been written against the grain of society's male bias.  With their remembered words these female poets have given us a history that we can all now share. 
This volume comes to you from Portable Poetry, a specialized imprint from Deadtree Publishing.  Our range is large and growing and covers single poets, themes, and many compilations.

The Sentimental Bloke tells the story of Bill, a member of a larrikin push (or gang) in Melbourne's Little Lonsdale red-light district, who encounters Doreen, a young woman "of some social aspiration", in a local market. Narrated by Bill, the poems chronicle their courtship and marriage, detailing his transformation from a violence-prone gang member to a contented husband and father. Read by John Derum, these "songs" show us the great romance of the Bloke and his girl Doreen, full of Australian slang about such hi-fallutin' things.
