Sinopsis

"Specimens with Memoirs of the Less-known British Poets, Complete" is a compelling anthology that delves into the works of British poets who, despite their rich contributions to the literary landscape, have largely remained overshadowed by their more illustrious contemporaries. The collection features a rich tapestry of poetic forms and themes, revealing a diverse array of voices and styles, from the Romantic reveries to the early Victorian sentimentality. The editors provide insightful memoirs that contextualize the poets' lives and works within the broader trajectory of British literature, thus offering a richly layered reading experience that invites both emotional engagement and intellectual inquiry. The anthology is curated by various literary figures who share a passion for unearthing hidden gems within the British poetic canon. Their dedication to shedding light on lesser-known poets not only rescues these voices from obscurity but also reflects a broader movement within literary studies that seeks to reevaluate cultural narratives. This undertaking is inspired by the belief that every poet, regardless of fame, contributes uniquely to the richness of literary traditions. For readers seeking to enrich their understanding of British poetry, this anthology is an essential resource. It serves not only as an introduction to lesser-known poets but also as a testament to the enduring power of poetry to capture the complexities of human experience. Whether you are a seasoned scholar or a curious newcomer, this collection will deepen your appreciation for the diverse tapestry of voices that form the backbone of British literature.

    The human body is the primary instrument of war, yet those waging war often confront soldiers' bodies in a detached or merely intellectual way. In The Tenderness of Silent Minds, Martha C. Nussbaum, a leading thinker on emotion, morality, and justice, conducts a pioneering study of Benjamin Britten's musical representations of the tender male body amidst the brutality of war, and their ability to transform consciousness by evoking potent, non-personal emotions. 
     
     
     
    Offering a reading of Britten's views about the value and beauty of the body that situates these in the context of his thirty-nine year partnership with his lover, the singer Peter Pears, and also surveying pacifist themes in works written both before and after War Requiem, Nussbaum presents a compelling framework for critically assessing Britten's oeuvre. Nussbaum engages with a remarkably wide range of Britten's works, examining his treatment of aggression and its roots in his collaborations with the poet W. H. Auden, offering readings of the value placed on the body in early partnerships with Britten's beloved and singer Peter Pears, and surveying pacifist themes in Britten's earlier works. The analysis throughout is enriched with perspectives from Britten's personal letters and thoughtful study of the social and political backdrop of fear and homophobic disgust in mid-twentieth century Britain.

    The Snow Globe is Jenny Pagdin's powerful, sensitive and stark debut collection. Written from first-hand experience, under the glass dome of postpartum psychosis, her poetry depicts a fearsome, glittering inner storm of severe mental illness during new motherhood, moving through illness, through snow flurry and sunshine, to a place of recovery and love.
    Threaded through this book are illuminating and courageous poems that settle and unsettle in equal measure. They cluster moth-like around spiritual and mythical figures, unravelling and remaking themselves with needlework and yarn, threaded along shorelines and under starry night skies. Jenny Pagdin's skilful and attentive use of a variety of forms reflects multiple and jarring realities – with poems dancing their own chaotic, fragmented and strange glinting beauty towards resolution.
