  Poems From The Chinese - A...

  These are called ''' Poems from the Chinese"" and we have Mr. Waley's assurance that there are in existence Oriental originals. But if it be so (and, of course it is) then we have here a literary miracle. It is a platitude that translation of poetry is either bad verse or bad translation. But Mr. Waley, translating not merely from one language into another, but almost from one planet into another, has produced a body of living poetry, in which there is every reason to believe he re-creates, without distorting, the Chinese poets. This is an unparalleled feat. But as we are, with about six exceptions in the whole of Great Britain, incapable of comparing the English and the Chinese, we must address ourselves to these poems as though they had been written by an Englishman of the twentieth century, and judge them on that basis. It is a severe test to apply to translations, but Mr. Waley emerges from it serenely victorious. Indeed, serenity is the keynote of all this work—the serenity of assured mastery in a difficult medium but still more of outlook. The beauty with which these poems are. inlaid is fundamentally a wise beauty and the wisdom is as much in the shape of Mr. Waley's mind as in that of China. There is no need to hurry here. Wisdom goes at an even pace, and has time between her penetrations of the stars to observe the smallest things of life. Her leisurely glance sweeps over them with patient gold, and they settle, almost without a sigh, into decoration and into pattern. We have lost {and the Chinese have lost) the secret of their enamels of the great periods. But Mr. Waley has private access to them, and his poems, varnished with just that cool and even certainty of paint and texture, achieve one filial translation— the translation of colour into speech. -- Humbert Wolfe.

  Roman Gods and Legends -...

  Mythology was at the heart of ancient Roman culture, shaping the way people understood the world, their history, and even their daily lives. Roman myths were more than just entertaining stories; they provided a framework for religious practices, reinforced social hierarchies, and legitimized political authority. From grand temples dedicated to Jupiter to household shrines honoring protective spirits, mythology was deeply embedded in Roman society. These myths explained the origins of Rome, the will of the gods, and the moral expectations placed upon its people.  
    
  One of the most fascinating aspects of Roman mythology is its connection to Greek mythology. The Romans borrowed heavily from the Greeks, adapting their gods, myths, and religious traditions to fit their own culture. Jupiter became the Roman equivalent of Zeus, Venus took the place of Aphrodite, and Neptune mirrored Poseidon. Yet, Roman mythology was not simply a copy of Greek traditions—it evolved to reflect Rome’s unique values, including its emphasis on duty, discipline, and the power of the state. Roman gods were deeply tied to civic life, with religious festivals and rituals reinforcing the unity and strength of the empire.  
    
  As Rome expanded, so did its pantheon. Over time, new deities were integrated from conquered cultures, blending native Italian, Etruscan, and foreign influences into Roman religious beliefs. This constant evolution reflected the empire’s adaptability and its ability to absorb and reshape traditions to maintain social cohesion. The role of mythology also shifted, particularly as emperors began to position themselves as semi-divine figures, further intertwining politics with religion. These myths were not just ancient relics but living traditions that reinforced Rome’s identity and dominance.

  Education in Britain can be traced back to Roman times, but it was not until Victorian times that provision was made in England and Wales for every child to have an elementary school place, whatever their background.
  After new buildings were constructed and changes made in educational administration, British schooling saw a revolution. Literacy rates soared, taking over from the limited success of Sunday Schools previously. This colourful and entertaining guide traces the development of schools in Britain in the 19th century, from the initial religious intervention in education to state intervention later on.
  What was a pupil's day like in a Victorian school? How did teachers discipline children? Was schooling different for girls? Learn all about the school day, public schools and even the buildings children attended in this guide filled with contemporary photographs of students, teachers and their lives.
  Look out for more Pitking guides on social history and heritage, and the 'Life in' series this title is a part of.
