Dryden's Palamon and Arcite

John Dryden, Geoffrey Chaucer

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

Dryden's Palamon and Arcite stands as a remarkable anthology that explores the confluence of classical myth and human emotion, deftly woven through the rich tapestry of poetic tradition. This collection elegantly bridges Geoffrey Chaucer's medieval text, The Knight's Tale, with John Dryden's restoration reinterpretation, offering readers a chance to appreciate the thematic evolution across centuries. The works contained within range from foundational medieval poetry to reflective restoration style, each piece dissecting themes of chivalry, love, and rivalry, creating a narrative that is both timeless and timely. The standout selections engage with these motifs through diverse literary forms, from the heroic couplets of Dryden to the rhythmic intricacies of Chaucer's Middle English verse, highlighting the dynamic continuum of poetic expression. This compilation gathers the insights of poets who profoundly impacted English literature's landscape, particularly through their collective involvement in the broader movements of medieval and restoration literature. Both Dryden and Chaucer contribute significantly to the anthology's thematic focus, offering distinct yet complementary perspectives that deepen the exploration of societal norms and individual desire. By uniting these two great literary figures, the collection draws upon a rich legacy of linguistic and cultural heritage, framing a dialogue that transcends temporal constraints and resonates with contemporary audiences. Readers are invited to delve into Dryden's Palamon and Arcite not merely as an exploration of classic literature but as an immersive experience in interpreting the broader complexities of human experience through the lens of poetic evolution. The anthology fuses varied perspectives and styles, serving as an invaluable resource for students and enthusiasts seeking to unravel the intricacies of juxtaposed historical narratives. By traversing these pages, the audience engages with enriching dialogues that probe the ever-enduring questions of human ethos, providing both educational merit and enlightening insight.

How to Deal with Difficult...

John Munford

We’ve all dealt with other people’s disruptive behavior in our lives. Whether it’s a demanding customer, a friend who constantly lies, or a coworker who keeps complaining, these things add to the stress of an already hectic lifestyle. That said, true to their name, difficult people are hard to handle even if you’re extremely calm before they approach you. However, there is always a reason for their behavior - and this book will help you reveal it. Likewise, understanding why they act the way they do may also help you answer another question. You’ll learn why it is so difficult to deal with them. After all, people with different socioeconomic backgrounds, cultural beliefs, and cognitive tools can get along just fine most of the time. So, why can’t you do the same with difficult people? 
One of the reasons it may be so challenging to handle difficult people is the lack of a clear definition of what this term really means. Because of this, there isn’t a unified classification of traits. The number of difficult personalities varies depending on the definition. For the sake of simplicity, you’ll find them sorted into six universal categories. These are gas lighters, toxic people, narcissists, energy vampires, manipulators, and aggressive people. This book explains how each type is generally defined, its characteristics, and how to identify it.

Sinn Féin: The History and...

Charles River Editors

From Gaelic, the words Sinn Féin translate loosely into English as “We Ourselves,” or “Ourselves Alone.” The implications of this are that Ireland, historically subject to the political domination of England, could look to none but itself for liberation. 
	By the 18th century, the Irish Parliament and all of the institutions of the state were dominated by Protestants, with Catholics almost entirely excluded. In 1798, a rebellion was launched by the “United Irishmen,” one of the first underground nationalist Republican organizations with the stated objective of overthrowing English rule and replacing it with an Irish republic based on the precepts of the recent French Revolution. The rebellion failed, but the English response was to dissolve the Irish Parliament and integrate Ireland directly into the United Kingdom. Ireland then became integral to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland which was ruled directly from Whitehall under the terms of the 1800 Act of Union. A certain number of Irish members were granted seats in the Parliament of Westminster, and, for all intents and purposes, Ireland existed as a province of the United Kingdom. 
	Thereafter, the tone of Irish political dialogue shifted somewhat, with the objective of moderate Irish nationalists no longer absolute independence from England, but the restoration of an Irish Parliament and a degree of self-government while remaining on some level a dependency of the British Empire. The two signature names in this process were Daniel O’Connell, Member of the Westminster Parliament who campaigned on a platform of repealing the Act of Union, and Charles Stewart Parnell, also a member of the British Parliament, who, between 1880 and 1891, called for “Home Rule.”
