Beschreibung

In "Poems of James Russell Lowell," the reader is invited into a tapestry of lyrical expression woven with deep emotional resonance and keen social insight. Lowell, a transcendentalist and a leading figure in American romanticism, employs a unique blend of personal reflection and progressive themes, tackling issues such as abolitionism, social justice, and national identity. His poetry is marked by rich imagery and an innovative use of form, reflecting the aesthetic movements of his time, while also venturing into the philosophical explorations characteristic of 19th-century American literature. James Russell Lowell (1819-1891) was more than a poet; he was a cultural critic, educator, and diplomat whose literary journey was shaped by the tumultuous social currents of his era. With a profound commitment to social reform and an intellectual engagement with contemporary issues, Lowell'Äôs works often mirror his aspirations for a more equitable society. His academic background and experiences'Äîranging from his involvement in the abolitionist movement to his tenure as an editor for influential literary journals'Äîprovided a fertile ground for his poetic creations. For readers seeking a nuanced understanding of American poetics, "Poems of James Russell Lowell" serves as an essential collection that captures the heart of an era marked by change. This volume not only enriches the literary canon but also invites reflection on enduring social themes, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in the interplay between art and society.

    Many nations have produced outstanding poets who they would gladly have represent their Culture.  But can any Nation say they have an equivalent of Robbie Burns?  Rabbie. The Ploughman Poet.  The Bard (Of Scotland).  This one poet is indelibly linked and intertwined with the culture and people of Scotland.  His life, loves, politics, verse and songs speak as them and for them.  
    From humble roots, the eldest son of seven born in 1759 to parents, both from tenant farming stock, the family endured both hardship and poverty.   Burns endured the test and began to write first at 15 and to publish his first volume some two years later.    
    He wrote in both true Scottish, dialect and English as well as turning his hand to song.  Politically he was an inspiration to both liberalism and socialism as well as a Scottish parliament.  His unique ability enabled him to appeal to all and quite rightly to be viewed as the National poet.    
    As well as creating his own great works he was also an avid collector of Scottish Folk Songs preserving for posterity the works of others.  
    However his own life was short dying at the young age of only 37.   What further greatness would have lain before him is impossible to say.  But, poetically, on the day of his death his son, Maxwell was born.    
    His fame today is worldwide and celebrated in January each year with the Traditional Burns night.  Each New Years Eve friends and families the world over link arms to ‘Auld Lang Syne’, giving immortality to his words and aims.  
    As former Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi Annan says:  Burn’s poems dignify and illuminate the struggle faced by the vast majority of the world’s population today.

    In a reimagined precolonial Africa, a powerful king's nephew comes home to find his nation on the brink of war. Unsure of his own next move, he joins his royal warrior cousins on their westward march to stop an invasion. Though he has no plans to fight, other problems find him on the road, pushing him toward an instability of his own. Back in the kingdom, a more distant relative is called upon to keep the peace in a land missing most of its strength. As the overt invasion looms above, she leads the king's defense against an enemy they cannot see, gathering strength right there at home. 
    All the while, old wounds inside the family and out are brought to the surface, threatening to unravel all the players involved. The demons of the past converge with the troubles of the present, giving way to an uncertain future for them all.
