Sinossi

Walter Scott's "Poetry" is a compelling collection that encapsulates the breadth of Romantic verse, showcasing his masterful command of language and diverse poetic forms. Infused with themes of chivalry, history, and the natural landscape, the collection reflects the era's fascination with the past and national identity, employing vivid imagery and rhythmic elegance that engage the reader's senses. Scott seamlessly weaves narrative and lyric, often drawing upon Scottish folklore and historical events to create a tapestry that honors cultural memory while exploring universal human experiences. A pivotal figure in the development of the historical novel, Scott's background as a Scottish law clerk and a quintessential Romanticist informs his poetic vision. His deep appreciation for Scotland's languid history and stunning scenery is reflected in the emotive and evocative quality of his work. Scott's childhood experiences, coupled with his social and political contexts, led him to articulate a voice that resonates with the collective memory of his nation, thereby amplifying his literary significance. This collection is highly recommended for readers seeking an immersive exploration of Romantic poetry and its socio-cultural implications. Scott invites readers into a world where history and imagination converge, making "Poetry" an essential addition to the library of anyone invested in the evolution of modern literature.

When This Is Over - A Blueprint...

Ned Glasier, Three Company,...

A group of teenagers, their lives shaped by billions of seemingly random events going back to before they were born, come together onstage to share stories about their past, their present, and what might lie ahead.
When This Is Over is a uniquely personal, theatrical celebration of hope, possibility and imagination. It's about how we can work with chaos, and embrace our collective imagination as we prepare for a deeply uncertain future – together.
Originally conceived by Company Three – and developed alongside more than fifty other youth theatres across the UK – When This Is Over is a play designed to be created and performed by teenage casts, drawing directly on their own life experiences and the stories they want to tell. As with Company Three's widely performed youth-theatre play Brainstorm, the script is a blueprint for an amazing theatrical adventure.
This published edition contains a series of exercises and activities for schools, youth-theatre groups and community companies to create and perform their own unique productions, and also features the complete script of Company Three's version, which was performed at The Yard, London, in 2022.
When This Is Over was named Community Project of the Year at The Stage Awards, and Outstanding Drama Initiative at the Music and Drama Education Awards.
