Pages : 192
Book Description
In the realm of poetry, where words dance upon the precipice of emotions and thoughts, "Eyes of the Heart: A Century of Poetic Vision" emerges as a kaleidoscope of a hundred vibrant poems. Each verse within this collection serves as a window into the myriad landscapes of the human experience, exploring themes as diverse as the tapestry of life itself.

The Lost Girls
Author: Andrew D. Radford
Publisher: Rodopi
ISBN: 9042022353
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
The Lost Girls analyses a number of British writers between 1850 and 1930 for whom the myth of Demeter's loss and eventual recovery of her cherished daughter Kore-Persephone, swept off in violent and catastrophic captivity by Dis, God of the Dead, had both huge personal and aesthetic significance. This book, in addition to scrutinising canonical and less well-known texts by male authors such as Thomas Hardy, E. M. Forster, and D. H. Lawrence, also focuses on unjustly neglected women writers – Mary Webb and Mary Butts – who utilised occult tropes to relocate themselves culturally, and especially in Butts's case to recover and restore a forgotten legacy, the myth of matriarchal origins. These novelists are placed in relation not only to one another but also to Victorian archaeologists and especially to Jane Ellen Harrison (1850-1928), one of the first women to distinguish herself in the history of British Classical scholarship and whose anthropological approach to the study of early Greek art and religion both influenced – and became transformed by – the literature. Rather than offering a teleological argument that moves lock-step through the decades,The Lost Girls proposes chapters that detail specific engagements with Demeter-Persephone through which to register distinct literary-cultural shifts in uses of the myth and new insights into the work of particular writers.
