Sinopsis

In "Thamyris; or, Is there a future for poetry?", R. C. Trevelyan explores the vital yet precarious role of poetry in the modern world. Employing a rich tapestry of imagery and lyrical elegance, Trevelyan embarks on a philosophical journey that interrogates the essence of poetry'Äôs significance amidst the clamor of contemporary society. The work is both an homage to the timeless art form and a poignant examination of its potential obsolescence, navigated through a blend of critical reflection and personal insight, reflective of the early 20th-century literary landscape that tugged at the importance of artistic expression during tumultuous times. R. C. Trevelyan was not only a writer but also an esteemed scholar and translator, deeply influenced by classical literature and the evolving thoughts of his time. His academic background in classics and literature informed his aesthetic sensibilities, fostering a profound understanding of poetry'Äôs historical roots and future potential. Trevelyan's experiences during the interwar period, marked by artistic innovation and social upheaval, also shaped his exploration of poetry's relevance in a changing world. This intellectually stimulating book is essential for readers seeking to understand the intersection of tradition and modernity in poetry. Trevelyan's insightful inquiries provoke thoughtful reflection, making "Thamyris" a must-read for poets, scholars, and anyone interested in the enduring power and future direction of literary art.

    What is a stalker? And what kind of life can a woman lead when she knows she is being followed, obsessively and perhaps dangerously, by one?This is the dilemma facing Theresa Bedell, a reporter in New York, in Rebecca Gilman's tensely fascinating new play. When Theresa goes on an awkward blind date with a friend of a friend, she sees no reason to continue the relationship--but the man, an attractive fellow named Tony, thinks otherwise. While Theresa is at first annoyed yet flattered by his continuing attention, her attitude gradually changes to one of fear and fury when he starts violently to menace her and those around her.In brilliantly delineating the kind of terror a woman in full control of her life feels when everything around her suddenly seems to be a threat, Gilman probes the dark side of relationships in the 1990s with the rich insight and compelling characterizations that have distinguished her earlier plays and made her one of the most exciting young playwrights working today.
