Stephen Crane

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "The Complete Poetical Works of Stephen Crane," readers are invited into the melancholic and vivid world of one of America's foremost modernist poets. This compilation showcases Crane's innovative use of imagery and hauntingly lyrical style, characterized by a blend of Romantic sentiment and Naturalist apprehension. Drawing upon themes of existential despair, nature's indifference, and the human condition, Crane's poetry often reflects the tumult of the late 19th century, marking a radical departure from traditional forms and embracing free verse. The collection includes his most celebrated works alongside lesser-known poems, revealing the breadth and depth of his artistic vision. Stephen Crane, an influential figure in American literature, is often remembered for his seminal works such as "The Red Badge of Courage." Born in 1871, Crane's life was emblematic of the restless spirit of his time, with his experiences as a war correspondent and his encounters with poverty deeply informing his creative expression. His precocious talent surfaced early, and his ability to evoke profound emotional responses through rich imagery and stark realism set him apart from his contemporaries. This collection is highly recommended for anyone seeking to understand the evolution of American poetry and the complexities of human emotion. Crane's distinct voice not only challenges literary conventions but also offers timeless reflections on life and mortality. Engaging with this complete anthology will deepen readers' appreciation for Crane's literary legacy and illuminate the profound implications of his poetic inquiry.

The Aeneid - Revised and...

Vergil

A powerful and poignant translation of Vergil’s epic poem, newly equipped with introduction and notes

"Ruden set the bar for Aeneid translations in 2008, and has raised it now with this revision. I am confident it will be a long time before a translator exceeds the standard that she has set."—A.M. Juster, Athenaeum Review

This is a substantial revision of Sarah Ruden’s celebrated 2008 translation of Vergil’s Aeneid, which was acclaimed by Garry Wills as “the first translation since Dryden’s that can be read as a great English poem in itself.” Ruden’s line-for-line translation in iambic pentameter is an astonishing feat, unique among modern translations. Her revisions to the translation render the poetry more spare and muscular than her previous version and capture even more closely the essence of Vergil’s poem, which pits national destiny against the fates of individuals, and which resonates deeply in our own time.

This distinguished translation, now equipped with introduction, notes, and glossary by leading Vergil scholar Susanna Braund, allows modern readers to experience for themselves the timeless power of Vergil’s masterpiece.

Praise for the First Edition:

“Fast, clean, and clear, sometimes terribly clever, and often strikingly beautiful. . . . Many human achievements deserve our praise, and this excellent translation is certainly one of them.”—Richard Garner, The New Criterion

“Toning down the magniloquence, Sarah Ruden gives us an Aeneid more intimate in tone and soberer in measure than we are used to—a gift for which many will be grateful.”—J. M. Coetzee

“An intimate rendering of great emotional force and purity. . . . The immediacy, beauty, and timelessness of the original Latin masterpiece lift off these pages with gem-like originality.”—Choice

Born in England – Exploring...

Geoffrey Chaucer, William Blake,...

Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another. Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us.

Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy.

In the volumes of this series, we take a look at poetry through the prism of individual regions of England, or sometimes more quaintly known as ‘Albion’, or ‘Blighty’, through the centuries of its gloried history.

England, despite its perception of reserve and under-statement has, in reality, strode the global stage at various time in many things, both good and bad, from Empire to long distance running. Here our focus in on its literature. Famed for its fiction and dramas, it is equally admired for its plethora of gifted poets and the dazzling verse which has added so much to its artistic legacy. These classic poets are wonders of their age and of their art. Genius is written in their names.

In this volume the instantly globally recognisable city of London has, for century after century, dominated the country. Its rich history of art, culture and commerce interweave with generation after generation of poets to produce a supremely rich tapestry of undimmed brilliance. Our poets include Alexander Pope, Amy Levy, Edmund Spenser, John Keats, G K Chesterton and a host of others. Genius has many names.
