Sinopsis

Verse History explores how poetry's structure has transformed over time, shaped by societal shifts and technological advancements. It examines verse forms from classical rigidity to contemporary experimental styles, revealing how changes in meter, rhyme, and structure reflect evolving cultural values.

 
Understanding the history of poetry provides insights into the changing values, beliefs, and artistic sensibilities of different cultures and periods. The book argues that verse forms are not merely aesthetic choices but are deeply connected to their social and intellectual environments.

 
The book uniquely combines close readings of poems with broad historical analysis, emphasizing the interplay between form and cultural context. For example, the rise of free verse mirrors the industrialization and urbanization of the 19th and 20th centuries. This approach allows for a nuanced understanding of how poetry reflects and shapes the world.

 
Verse History progresses chronologically, beginning with classical roots, moving through medieval and Renaissance transformations, exploring avant-garde movements, and concluding with contemporary trends like digital poetry.

    Language and Mediated...

    From television shows to the manosphere, and from alt-right communities to fatherhood forums, debates about masculinity have come to dominate the media landscape. This growing cultural tension around masculinities has been discussed and analyzed both for general audiences and in burgeoning academic scholarship. What has been typically overlooked, however, is the role that language plays in these mediated performances of masculinity. 
     
     
     
    In Language and Mediated Masculinities, Robert Lawson draws on data from newspapers, social media sites, television programs, and online forums to explore language and masculinities across a range of media contexts. The book offers a critical evaluation of the intersection between language, masculinities, and identities in contemporary society. Lawson furthers our understanding of how language is implicated in (re)creating gender ideologies and how it shapes contemporary gender relations. Against a cultural backdrop of rising neoliberalism, ethnic nationalism, online radicalization, networked misogyny, and fractious gender relations, this book is an important contribution to charting how language is used to monitor, evaluate, and police masculinities in online and offline spaces.

    Tracing the History of Abortion in America by Looking beyond the Laws to the Dramatic Stories and Colorful Personalities of the People They Touched
    Fifty years ago, the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision to legalize abortion-on-demand sparked nationwide tensions that continue to this day. In the decades since that ruling, abortion opponents and proponents have descended on the Capitol each year for marches and protests. But this story didn't begin with the Supreme Court in the 1970s; arguments about abortion have been a part of American history since the 17th century. So how did we get here?
    The Story of Abortion in America traces the long cultural history of this pressing issue from 1652 to today, focusing on the street-level activities of those drawn into the battles willingly or unwillingly. Authors Marvin Olasky and Leah Savas show complex lives on both sides: Some sacrificed much to help the poor and others sacrificed the helpless to empower themselves. The Story of Abortion in America argues that whatever happens legally won't end the debate, but it will affect lives. 
    
    - A Fair Survey of the History of the Debate: Opening with a foreword by renowned social conservative thinker Robert P. George, this book explores historic cases and key cultural moments from 1652 to 2022
    - Examines 5 Selling Points Used by Each Side in Different Eras: Anatomy, Bible, Community, Danger, and Enforcement
    - Chronicles the History of Abortion through Personal Narratives: Includes the memorable stories of Isaac Hathaway, Susan Warren, Elizabeth Lumbrozo, John McDowell, Hugh Hodge, Madame Restell, Augustus St. Clair, Inez Burns, Robert Dickinson, Sherri Finkbine, Henry Hyde, John Piper, Lila Rose, Terrisa Bukovinac, Mark Lee Dickson, and many others
    - Written for a Diverse Audience: While particularly useful for Christians who want to understand the history of abortion and its impact on American politics and culture, the book speaks to anyone who cares about abortion

    What if the stranger haunting your life… was you? 
    The Double is Fyodor Dostoevsky’s unnerving exploration of psychological breakdown, obsession, and the split self.  
    When Yakov Golyadkin, an anxious, low-level bureaucrat, encounters a man identical to him in appearance but opposite in personality, his world begins to unravel. This double not only infiltrates his life but begins to replace him in every way. 
    What follows is a disturbing and poignant descent into paranoia, self-loathing, and existential dread. Is the double a supernatural force, a projection of suppressed desires, or a symptom of madness? 
    What you’ll discover inside: 
    - A Chilling Psychological Drama – A tale of identity theft by one's own reflection. 
    - Themes of Madness and Alienation – A haunting look at isolation and the fractured mind. 
    - A Timeless Parable of Inner Conflict – Dostoevsky’s enduring insight into self and sanity. 
    - A Modern Translation – Updated for clarity while staying true to the original vision. 
    Join Golyadkin on his haunting journey and decide for yourself—who is the real man, and who is the shadow?
