Beschreibung

The Complete Works of Margaret Fuller serves as a luminous testament to the rich tapestry of intellectual and literary endeavors of the 19th century, weaving together genres ranging from groundbreaking essays to sensitive poetry and incisive articles. This comprehensive anthology captures the spirit of transcendentalism while simultaneously grappling with questions of gender, reform, and identity, hallmarks of Fuller's literary canon. Within its pages, the collection showcases a diverse range of narrative styles and thought-provoking content that reflects the zeitgeist of the era. Standout pieces, such as the exploration of women's rights and Fuller'Äôs reflections on self-culture, underscore the richness and depth of this collection. The contributing editors, including eminent figures such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, James Freeman Clarke, and Julia Ward Howe, bring to the anthology a convergence of significant insights and literary prowess. Contextualized within the transcendentalist movement, the collective voices of these editors showcase the overarching influence of Fuller'Äôs work in the broader societal context. With backgrounds reflecting an era of reform, abolitionism, and burgeoning feminist thought, the editors'Äô nuanced perspectives illuminate Fuller's lasting impact and her pivotal role in shaping progressive discourse. For scholars and enthusiasts of literary history, The Complete Works of Margaret Fuller is an indispensable compilation that offers rare insight into a revolutionary period of American letters. This anthology provides readers with a remarkable opportunity to immerse themselves in the multiplicity of Fuller's legacy, fostering a rich dialogue between past and present. By navigating the intersections of literary style and social commentary, this volume not only educates but also inspires reflection and deeper understanding of 19th-century thought.

    To know Sir Walter Scott as a man is as delightful and fruitful an experience as to appreciate the greatness of his books.
    
    
    In the bicentenary year of the publication of Sir Walter Scott's first novel Waverley, this is a timely republication of John Buchan's biography of Scott - one great storyteller exploring the life of another.
    
    
    
    Buchan's sympathetic treatment of Scott is perceptive, and his enthusiasm for Scott's work is infectious. Interspersed with superb extracts exhibiting Scott's storytelling skills, John Buchan's short introduction to Scott has never been bettered. To this day, he remains the ideal advocate and guide to the great Sir Walter Scott.
    
    
    John Buchan is the very person to get us reading Scott again, abandoning the superficial media distractions for a grand rumbling rollercoaster of a read - ideal for a stage coach journey, an airport wait, or a holiday lived out of time.
    
    FROM THE INTRODUCTION BY DONALD SMITH
    
    
    The almost inspired literary criticism of Sir Walter Scott shows Buchan at his best.

    Mary Frances Butts was born on 13th December 1890 in Poole, Dorset. 
     
    Her early years were spent at Salterns, an 18th-century house overlooking Poole Harbour.  Sadly in 1905 her father died, and she was sent for boarding at St Leonard's school for girls in St Andrews. 
     
    Her mother remarried and, from 1909, Mary studied at Westfield College in London, and here, first became aware of her bisexual feelings.  She was sent down for organising a trip to Epsom races and only completed her degree in 1914 when she graduated from the London School of Economics.  By then Mary had become an admirer of the occultist Aleister Crowley and she was given a co-authorship credit on his ‘Magick (Book 4)’. 
     
    In 1916, she began the diary which would now detail her future life and be a constant reference point for her observations and her absorbing experiences. 
     
    During World War I, she was doing social work for the London County Council in Hackney Wick, and involved in a lesbian relationship.  Life changed after meeting the modernist poet, John Rodker and they married in 1918. 
     
    In 1921 she spent 3 months at Aleister Crowley's Abbey of Thelema in Sicily; she found the practices dreadful and also acquired a drug habit.  Mary now spent time writing in Dorset, including her celebrated book of short stories ‘Speed the Plough’ which saw fully develop her unique Modernist prose style. 
     
    Europe now beckoned and several years were spent in Paris befriending many artists and writing further extraordinary stories.   
     
    She was continually sought after by literary magazines and also published several short story collections as books. Although a Modernist writer she worked in other genres but is essentially only known for her short stories.  Mary was deeply committed to nature conservation and wrote several pamphlets attacking the growing pollution of the countryside. 
     
    In 1927, she divorced and the following year her novel ‘Armed with Madness’ was published.  A further marriage followed in 1930 and time was spent attempting to settle in London and Newcastle before setting up home on the western tip of Cornwall.  By 1934 the marriage had failed. 
     
    Mary Butts died on 5th March 1937, at the West Cornwall Hospital, Penzance, after an operation for a perforated gastric ulcer. She was 46. 
     
    In ‘Angèle Au Couvent’ Butts takes up the story of a young school girl desperate for friendships but wrestling with her fluid interpretation of religion.

    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.
