Shakespeare Ben Jonson Beaumont and Fletcher

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Beschreibung

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 Oak Papers

James Canton

""A profound meditation on the human need for connection with nature, as one man seeks solace beneath the bows of an ancient oak tree.""—Peter Wohlleben, author of The Hidden Life of Trees 
""James Canton knows so much, writes so well and understands so deeply about the true forest magic and the important place these trees have in it. Knowledge and joy.""— Sara Maitland, author of How to Be Alone 
Joining the ranks of The Hidden Life of Trees and H is for Hawk, an evocative memoir and ode to one of the most majestic living things on earth—the oak tree—probing the mysteries of nature and the healing role it plays in our lives. 
Thrown into turmoil by the end of his long-term relationship, Professor James Canton spent two years meditating beneath the welcoming shelter of the massive 800-year-old Honywood Oak tree in North Essex, England. While considering the direction of his own life, he began to contemplate the existence of this colossus tree. Standing in England for centuries, the oak would have been a sapling when the Magna Carta was signed in 1215. 
In this beautiful, transportive book, Canton tells the story of this tree in its ecological, spiritual, literary, and historical contexts, using it as a prism to see his own life and human history. The Oak Papers is a reflection on change and transformation, and the role nature has played in sustaining and redeeming us.  
Canton examines our long-standing dependency on the oak, and how that has developed and morphed into myth and legend. We no longer need these sturdy trees to build our houses and boats, to fuel our fires, or to grind their acorns into flour in times of famine. What purpose, then, do they serve in our world today? Are these miracles of nature no longer necessary to our lives? What can they offer us?  
Taking inspiration from the literary world—Henry David Thoreau, Leo Tolstoy, Katherine Basford’s Green Man, Thomas Hardy, William Shakespeare, and others—Canton ponders the wondrous magic of nature and the threats its faces, from human development to climate change, implores us to act as responsible stewards to conserve what is precious, and reminds us of the lessons we can learn from the world around us, if only we slow down enough to listen.

Richard Sorge: The Life and...

Editors Charles River

Spies are a feature of countless works of fiction in which they often discover secrets on which the fate of nations hang in the balance. Reality is generally rather more mundane, as spies often gather low-level intelligence that only makes sense when it is examined by analysts and compared to information from other sources. Espionage provides clues to what the enemy is planning, but on its own, it rarely changes the course of a war. Moreover, real spies are generally anonymous, not the bold, swashbuckling action heroes depicted in fiction. Spies must hide in plain sight, and that is best achieved by being as innocuous as possible.
However, there are exceptions. Occasionally, a spy will be so successful that they are able to place themselves in a position where they have access to information at the highest levels, secrets that really can change the course of world events. Sometimes, these spies may even be as handsome, charming, charismatic, and bold as their fictional counterparts.
One such spy was a man named Richard Sorge. Experiencing the horrors of World War I at first-hand turned Sorge into an ardent communist, after which he worked as a spy for the USSR in Germany, China, and Japan before and during World War II. He obtained vital military and political secrets and maintained his cover for over nine years despite frantic searches for the spy who was leaking information to Russia. His effortless charm meant that he didn’t need to steal secrets: people told him willingly, including the many women that he seduced.
