Synopsis

In "Celtic Mythology," T. W. Rolleston embarks on an in-depth exploration of the rich tapestry of Celtic narratives, weaving together the legends, deities, and folklore of the ancient Celtic peoples. Through a scholarly yet accessible narrative style, Rolleston delves into notable figures such as Cú Chulainn and the Tuatha Dé Danann, presenting a comprehensive overview that situates these myths within their cultural and historical contexts. The text juxtaposes the oral traditions with the written accounts, illustrating the transformative nature of myth in Celtic society while drawing parallels with other mythological traditions. T. W. Rolleston, a noted scholar of Celtic studies and mythology, draws upon his extensive knowledge and fervent interest in the ancient Celtic world to craft this seminal work. His engagement with Irish and Welsh literature, combined with his expertise in comparative mythology, allows him to illuminate aspects of Celtic identity and heritage that had long been overlooked in academic discourse. Rolleston's work is informed not only by historical linguistics but also by a deep appreciation for the artistic and spiritual dimensions of these myths. "Celtic Mythology" is an essential read for anyone fascinated by the intersection of history, literature, and mythology. Rolleston's meticulous research and nuanced storytelling make it an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike. Whether you are new to the subject or seeking to deepen your understanding, this book offers profound insights into the cultural legacy of the Celts and the enduring power of their stories.

    A powerful exploration of the human capacity for renewal, as seen through Shakespeare and Freud  
     
    In this fresh investigation, Stephen Greenblatt and Adam Phillips explore how the second chance has been an essential feature of the literary imagination and a promise so central to our existence that we try to reproduce it again and again.  
     
    Innumerable stories, from the Homeric epics to the New Testament, and from Oedipus Rex to Hamlet, explore the realization or failure of second chances—outcomes that depend on accident, acts of will, or fate. Such stories let us repeatedly rehearse the experience of loss and recovery: to know the joy that comes with a renewal of love and pleasure and to face the pain that comes with realizing that some damage can never be undone.  
     
    Through a series of illuminating readings, the authors show how Shakespeare was the supreme virtuoso of the second chance and Freud was its supreme interpreter. Both Shakespeare and Freud believed that we can narrate our life stories as tales of transformation, of momentous shifts, constrained by time and place but often still possible. Ranging from The Comedy of Errors to The Winter’s Tale, and from D. W. Winnicott to Marcel Proust, the authors challenge readers to imagine how, as Phillips writes, “it is the mending that matters.” 
     
    “In this scintillating collaboration between our leading Shakespearean and our most trenchant interpreter of Freud, the concept of the second chance keeps gathering momentum and reach. Second Chances is intellectually nimble and emotionally wise.”—Christopher Benfey, author of A Summer of Hummingbirds

    On Class

    Deborah Dundas is a journalist who grew up poor and almost didn’t make it to university. In On Class, she talks to writers, activists, those who work with the poor and those who are poor about what happens when we don’t talk about poverty or class—and what will happen when we do.
    		 
    Growing up poor, Deborah Dundas knew what it meant to want, to be hungry, and to long for social and economic dignity; she understood the crushing weight of having nothing much expected of you. But even after overcoming many of the usual barriers faced by lower- and working-class people, she still felt anxious about her place, and even in relatively safe spaces reluctant to broach the subject of class. While new social movements have generated open conversation about gender and racism, discussions of class rarely include the voices of those most deeply affected: the working class and poor. 
    On Class is an exploration of the ways in which we talk about class: of who tells the stories, and who doesn’t, which ones tend to be repeated most often, and why this has to change. It asks the question: What don’t we talk about when we don’t talk about class? And what might happen if, finally, we did?
