Synopsis

In "The Brownings, Their Life and Art," Lilian Whiting presents an insightful exploration of the dynamic lives and creative outputs of the renowned Victorian poets, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Robert Browning. Whiting's narrative weaves together biographical details with critical analyses of their poetry, highlighting the intersections of their personal experiences and artistic expressions. The book stands out for its engaging prose and meticulous examination of the socio-political context of the 19th century, showcasing how the Brownings' works reflect and respond to contemporary issues such as love, societal expectations, and personal struggle. Lilian Whiting, a prominent American author and critic, was deeply immersed in the literary culture of her time, establishing personal connections with many literary figures, including the Brownings themselves. Her broad intellectual engagement with the arts and her commitment to exploring themes of emotional depth and societal critique are evident throughout this work. Her familiarity with the literary landscape of both England and America uniquely positions her to chronicle the Brownings' contributions to poetry and their impact on future generations of writers. For readers seeking a richer understanding of the Brownings beyond the surface of their poetic genius, Whiting's book is an indispensable resource. It invites both enthusiasts of Victorian literature and newcomers alike to appreciate the complexity of their relationship and the enduring significance of their art. This text is essential for anyone wishing to explore the depths of human emotion through the eloquent words of two of poetry's greatest figures.

    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. 
     
    For America, as the century closes, she is becoming less isolated.  Her industrial might, her rising military power are pulling her ever closer into the entangled globe of nations.  Her authors flex ideas and lexicons with riveting tales of this astonishing society.

    “The book’s strength is a thorough assessment of Dylan’s career, album by album, song by song. Both longtime fans and newcomers . . . will appreciate.” —Library Journal With Bob Dylan’s receipt of the Nobel Prize in Literature, his iconic status as an American musical, cultural, and poetic giant has never been more apparent. Bob Dylan: American Troubadour is the first book to look at Dylan’s career, from his first album to his masterpiece Tempest. Donald Brown provides insightful critical commentary on Dylan’s prolific body of work, placing Dylan’s career in the context of its time in order to assess the relationship of Dylan’s music to contemporary American culture. Each chapter follows the shifting versions of Dylan, from his songs of conscientious social involvement to more personal exploratory songs; from his influential rock albums of the mid-1960s to his adaptations of country music; from his three very different tours in the 1970s to his “born again” period as a proselytizer for Christ and his frustrations as a recording and performing artist in the 1980s; from his retrospective importance in the 1990s to the refreshingly vital albums he has been producing in the 21st century. “This concise examination of the Dylan corpus is especially good for younger generations who may want to better understand how a musician in his early seventies can still be so compelling and relevant in twenty-first-century America.”. —Booklist    “Fascinating . . . Highly recommended. All readers.  —Choice Reviews “A nearly album by album retrospective of one of the most culturally significant and musically influential musicians in modern history.” —Examiner “A must read for Dylan enthusiasts.”  —Journal of American Culture

    The Film "Braveheart" has it right on some points but does a bad job with historic precision with others, most likely because they're just attempting to dramatize a Hollywood film, not promoting dull precision. 
    Let's see what info we can learn from history about the real William Wallace. William Wallace was a Scottish knight. In order to comprehend the impact of that time's knight civilization and roles, we will discuss the idea itself. We will also discuss the brutal reign of Edward I of England, the sadistic murder of William Wallace (worse than you might think), and several other factors contributing to his capture, his resistance, and his following.
