Sinopsis

In "The Cid," Pierre Corneille masterfully crafts a tragic tale that explores themes of honor, love, and vengeance against the backdrop of 11th-century Spain. This classic play, written in the style of French neoclassicism, intricately balances the dramatic tension of personal conflicts with rigid societal expectations. Corneille's innovative use of elevated language, coupled with profound character development, enables readers to engage deeply with the moral dilemmas faced by its central characters — particularly the young nobleman Rodrigo and his beloved Chimène — as they navigate their intertwined fates amidst familial loyalty and societal honor. Pierre Corneille, a pioneering figure of French literature, emerged during a period characterized by shifting cultural values and the rise of classical tragedy. His own conflation of personal experience and philosophical inquiry imbued his works with a sense of authentic emotional gravitas. "The Cid," often lauded for its exploration of the heroic ideal, illustrates Corneille's deep engagement with contemporary issues of honor and identity, reflecting not only his contemporary society but also his own introspections on the human experience. Corneille's "The Cid" remains an essential read for both scholars and enthusiasts of classic literature. Its timeless exploration of love and duty continues to resonate, prompting readers to reflect on their values in an ever-evolving moral landscape. This play not only enriches one's understanding of French literature but also serves as a poignant examination of the complexities of the human condition.

Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
 
Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
 
In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history. 
 
England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature.  Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy.  These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art.  Genius is written in their names. 
 
This long limb of England pushes into the Atlantic yet from its ancient past until today its creative contribution is woven in gloried threads into the culture of the whole Nation.

What is Dynamo? It is the first full-length collection by an extraordinarily entertaining and exhilarating poet. Over the course of this book, things break down, start again, light up, get stuck. Relationships stagnate, mountains and seas diminish, White nationalists fall over in Blackpool, and a wealthy couple's house disappears one day, leaving them surrounded by their appliances, tanned and eating an egg.
I'm always listening out for a new poet who can take the deceptively effortless, witty yet ultimately serious chops of the New York School, make it work for this generation and bring the whole thing in to land just outside a British city, losing nothing in transit. And God it's been worth the wait. This is a poetry of exquisite timing, with some of the most satisfying last lines I've ever read. Yates can take an everyday domestic detail and make it sparkle with the mystery of a Raedecker painting. – Luke Kennard

The Choephori

Produced in 458 BC, Aeschylus' Choephori is the second play in the Oresteian trilogy. The bloodshed begun in the first play with the murder of Agamemnon by his wife Clytemnestra is here continued when Agamemnon's son Orestes avenges his father's death by killing Clytemnestra. It is not until the third and final play, Eumenides, that peace is restored to the family of the Atreidae. The introduction discusses the pre-Aeschylean 'Orestes' tradition in literature and art, as well as the place of Choephori within the Oresteia, its imagery and dramatic structure, the questions of staging the play, and the manuscript tradition.
