Book Description
'The wind is rising!... Let us try to live!' One of the preeminent intellectuals of modern French culture, Val?ry is widely considered one of the country's greatest poets of the twentieth century. Following a flurry of sonnets in his late teens, he abruptly abandoned verse for twenty years. If the publication of The Young Fate in 1917 won him immediate and immense acclaim, his status as the outstanding poet of the era was firmly consolidated with the Album of Early Verse and Charms with its beautiful meditation on mortality, 'The Graveyard by the Sea', considered one of the finest poems in French. A classical voice in an era of avant-garde modernism, Val?ry's often sensuous work was inspired by mysticism, myth, the Mediterranean, and above all passionate love. This bilingual edition brings together for the first time the complete verse with many unknown and previously unpublished poems taken from his abundant correspondence, which offers intimate insight into a private side of the writer.

Includes an introduction by Martin Tickner and Coward's long-time companion, Graham Payn.
Author: Stéphane Mallarmé Publisher: OUP Oxford ISBN: 0191623091 Category : Poetry Languages : en Pages : 316
Book Description
'sense too definite cancels your indistinct literature' Stéphane Mallarmé was the most radically innovative of nineteenth-century poets. His writings, with their richly sensuous texture and air of slyly intangible mystery, perplexed or outraged many early readers; yet no writer has more profoundly influenced the course of modern poetry - in English as well as in French. In both form and content, his poems created new ways of conveying existential doubt, fragmentation, and discontinuity. This is the fullest collection of Mallarmé's poetry ever published in English, and the only edition in any language that presents his Poésies in the last arrangement known to have been approved by the author. Apart from verse, it includes all the prose poems and the unique, unclassifiable Un Coup de dés... (A Dice Throw...). The lucid, wide-ranging introduction and invaluable notes help an understanding of this astonishing poet's work. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Book Description
'Flint and Feather: Collected Verse' by E. Pauline Johnson is an exquisite collection of poetry that showcases the heart and soul of Canada's greatest poet. Johnson's work, born from her experiences of the ancient legends of the Iroquois and the great works of English literature, travels around Canada, and natural scenery, has a timeless quality that still resonates today. Her vivid descriptions of Canadian lakes, rivers, mountains, trees, and fauna capture the Canadian soul's gentle loneliness and exotic fascination with faraway places. With themes of nationalism, nature, and survival, Johnson's poetry is a must-read for anyone looking to immerse themselves in Canadian literature. Here's an excerpt from one of the many poems included in this collection, 'The Cattle Thief': "They were coming across the prairie, they were galloping hard and fast / For the eyes of those desperate riders had sighted their man at last— / Sighted him off to Eastward, where the Cree encampment lay / Where the cottonwoods fringed the river, miles and miles away."
