Synopsis

Elegy Function explores how elegies, traditionally viewed as expressions of mourning, actively shape public memory and collective grief. The book delves into the evolution of elegies, revealing how they've transformed from personal lamentations into formal public rituals. It argues that these poems are not passive reflections of sorrow but active agents in constructing meaning and memory. Elegies, for example, often help consolidate social cohesion after national tragedies.The book traces the historical development of the elegy, examining its classical origins and subsequent transformations in various social and political contexts. It analyzes specific case studies of elegies written in response to significant historical events, showcasing how they legitimize political narratives and commemorate historical figures. By exploring the interrelation of elegies with national identity, the book highlights their role in reinforcing cultural values.The study progresses across chapters, starting with core concepts and historical evolution, moving to case studies, and concluding with the implications for contemporary mourning practices.

    Zebedee's Calling brings 11th Century England to life, with key battles and royal successions, as well as the efforts among a group of zealous Christians to have access to Scripture written in English. Along with revelations about rulers, military tactics and the Church, there also are descriptions of Anglo-Saxon society and daily life. Although this story is historical fiction, it parallels our time. The accounts of Christian leaders and martyrs who strove to make the Bible accessible to the people draw attention to the immeasurable value of Scripture, and how blessed we are to possess it today. 
    About the Author: 
    Author Joel Francis was born into a God-loving, Bible-believing Christian family in India, and emigrated with his family to Canada when he was a young boy. Learning about the history of the Church and attending a Catholic high school inspired him to write his first book, Zebedee's Calling. Joel conveys the eternal truths he continues learning about God through his writing, and he wishes to serve and glorify Him in every sphere of life. Joel lives with his parents and brother. He graduated from the University of Toronto with majors in applied statistics and economics, and a minor in mathematics.

    This is the true story of a woman who discovered a fascinating new way of living, refreshingly different to the rat race she had become trapped in. This new world was full of machoism, sexism and a complete lack of political correctness. Brizo entered a world where she was constantly surprised that being her filthy and inappropriate self was instantly accepted and even welcomed. She had glided into the world of sailing. The rough and rugged unkempt sailor types kept her dripping wet both in and out of the water. While Brizo was frustrated with the sexism that exists on deck, she was pleasantly surprised to discover that women are respected for taking charge down below. She found herself in a world where women were given credit for having many lovers and for being assertive in the bedroom. I suppose when the ratio of men is so much higher than that of women, a sailor is grateful he's secured a mermaid on his hook.
