Summary

In "Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Beaumont and Fletcher," Samuel Taylor Coleridge meticulously analyzes the works of these seminal figures in English literature, exploring their unique contributions to the development of drama. Coleridge employs a Romantic literary style marked by deep introspection and a vivid appreciation for the emotional depth of these playwrights. His examinations highlight the thematic complexities and innovative characterizations that distinguish these writers within the broader context of the Jacobean and Elizabethan theatrical traditions, revealing the interplay between poetic language and dramatic structure. Coleridge, a preeminent figure of the Romantic movement, was profoundly influenced by his extensive knowledge of literature and philosophy. His scholarly pursuits, particularly in the realm of Shakespearean criticism, were shaped by a desire to bridge the gap between classical and contemporary thought, fostering an appreciation for emotional authenticity in drama. The historical and cultural milieu of early 19th-century England informed his nuanced interpretations, reflecting a deep-seated respect for the artistry of his predecessors. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of English drama and the critical perspectives surrounding its giants. Coleridge's insightful observations not only enrich the understanding of individual playwrights but also illuminate the interconnections that define their artistic legacies, making this text a vital addition to both literary scholarship and personal libraries.

    The westward movement of Americans in the 19th century was one of the largest and most consequential migrations in history, and among the paths that blazed west, the most well-known is the Oregon Trail, which was not a single trail but a network of paths that began at one of four “jumping off” points. The eastern section of the Oregon Trail, which followed the Missouri River through Kansas, Nebraska, and Wyoming, was shared by people traveling along the California, Bozeman, and Mormon Trails. These trails branched off at various points, and the California Trail diverged from the Oregon Trail at Fort Hall in southern Idaho. From there, the Oregon Trail moved northward, along the Snake River, then through the Blue Mountains to Fort Walla Walla. From there, travelers would cross the prairie before reaching the Methodist mission at The Dalles, which roughly marked the end of the Trail. 	As many who used the Oregon Trail described in memoirs, the West represented opportunities for adventure, independence, and fortune, and fittingly, the ever popular game named after the Oregon Trail captures that mentality and spirit by requiring players to safely move a party west to the end of the trail. 
    	The most iconic of the major American pathways is the Appalachian Trail, which completes the “triple crown” of the national hiking experience. Covering a range from central Maine to Georgia at a distance of 2,193 miles, it is the longest of the three, following the crest of the Alleghenies and Blue Ridge Mountains through 14 states. All in all, it encompasses 465,000 feet in elevation and hosts three million visitors each year for at least a part of the total distance. On an annual basis, approximately 4,000 hikers begin a south to north trek beginning at Springer Mountain, Georgia, with the goal of hiking all the way to Maine. The northerly direction is greatly preferred because of the weather.

    Medieval queens were seen as mere dynastic trophies, yet many of the Plantagenet queens of the High Middle Ages dramatically broke away from the restrictions imposed on their sex, as Alison Weir shows in this gripping group biography of England's fourteenth-century consorts. 
     
    Using personal letters and wonderfully vivid sources, Alison Weir evokes the lives of five remarkable queens: Marguerite of France, Isabella of France, Philippa of Hainault, Anne of Bohemia and Isabella of Valois. 
     
    The turbulent, brutal Age of Chivalry witnessed the Black Death, the Peasants' Revolt, the Hundred Years War against France and savage baronial wars against the monarchy in which these queens were passionately involved. Queens of the Age of Chivalry brilliantly recreates this truly dramatic period of history through the lives of five extraordinary women. 
     
    "Stunning... [Weir has] brought those five queens to life like never before. I just raced through it - it has all the drama and suspense of a novel." - Tracy Borman, praise for Queens of Crusades
