The Poems of John Dewey
Author: John Dewey
Publisher: SIU Press
ISBN: 9780809308002
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
A literary discovery of considerable magnitude, these 98 previously unpublished poems by John Dewey, written principally in the 1910-18 period, illuminate an emotive aspect in his intellectual life often not manifest in the prose works. Rumors of the existence of the poems have circulated among students of Dewey's life and writings since 1957, when Mrs. Roberta Dewey gained possession of them from the Columbia University Columbiana collection. But except for the few persons who saw copies made by the French scholar Deladelle five years after Dewey's death, the poems have remained inaccessible until now. None of the poems has hitherto been published. Mrs. Roberta Dewey and Dewey's children from his first marriage seem not to have known of Dewey's experiments in verse during his lifetime. And, as evidence presented here now shows, only two or three acquaintances knew of actual poems written by Dewey, one of them the Polish-American novelist Anzia Yezierska, who had a brief emotional involvement with Dewey in the 1917-18 period. The factual, rather than inferential, evidence of Dewey's relationship with Anzia Yezierska appears in the poems, which, taken as a whole, provide revealing insights into Dewey's feelings and illuminate not only aspects of his emotions but of his thought as well. The fact that Dewey did not publish the poetry himself, together with the circumstances of its discovery and unusual history, has led to the exceptionally careful editorial treatment of the poems given here. Scholars will find all the evidence for the authorship of the manuscripts clearly presented and all the changes and alterations carefully recorded. This edition has received the Modern Language Association of America Center for Editions of American Authors Seal as an "approved text."

Ink's Grace
Author: Regina Sage
Publisher: Regina Sage
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Ink’s Grace is a slow burn Cetean love story set in the Underwater World. This age gap romance is a journey of trauma and healing, where two wounded souls come together over chocolate. Divina knows not all scars are created equal, there are no rules for healing, that each journey has highs and lows, just like any life-giving ocean… Yet she cannot shake the idea of health she imposes on herself. Her life and body have been marked by tragedy, from before she was even born, to her most recent trials in flesh trade with the Witches. Now she is locked in a war between her passionate desire and her aversion to touch. Something must break. Francis is a disciplined male, fully in control of his mind and emotions, but Divina, Requiem housemaid and survivor, tests him with quiet snark and conservative beauty. She is delicate, couldn’t possibly want a twisted male like him. If his age didn’t turn her off, his prosthetics surely would. Except… They do both share a love of chocolate. They can work with chocolate. Then maybe they could work toward something more. That is, if the undercurrents of Cetean politics do not bring the Houses down around their gills…

Notebooks and Unpublished Prose Manuscripts
Author: Walt Whitman
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0814794386
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
General Series Editors: Gay Wilson Allen and Sculley Bradley Originally published between 1961 and 1984, and now available in paperback for the first time, the critically acclaimed Collected Writings of Walt Whitman captures every facet of one of America’s most important poets. Notebooks and Unpublished Prose Manuscripts gathers Whitman’s autobiographical notes, his views on contemporary politics, and the writings he made as he educated himself in ancient history, religion and mythology, health (including phrenology), and word-study. Included is material on his Civil War experiences, his love of Abraham Lincoln, his descriptions of various trips to the West and South and of the cities in which he resided, his generally pessimistic view of America’s prospects in the Reconstruction and the Gilded Age, and his reminiscences during his final years and his preoccupation with the increasing ailments that came with old age. Many of these notes served as sources for his poetry—first drafts of some of the poems are included as they appear in the notes—and as the basis for his lectures.

Dante
Author: Jeremy Tambling
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317883365
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Dante's work has fascinated readers for seven hundred years and has provided key reference points for writing as diverse as that of Chaucer, the Renaissance poets, the English Romantics, Tennyson and the Pre-Raphaelites, American writers from Melville through to Eliot and Pound, Anglo-Irish Modernists from Joyce to Beckett, and contemporary poets such as Heaney and Walcott. In this volume, Jeremy Tambling has selected ten recent essays from the mass of Dante studies, and put the Divine Comedy - Dante's record of a journey to Hell, Purgatory and Paradise - into context for the modern reader. Topics such as Dante's allegory, his relationship to classical and modern poetry, his treatment of love and of sexuality, his attitudes to Florence and to his contemporary Italy, are explored and clarified through a selection of work by some of the best scholars in the field. An introduction and notes help the reader to situate the criticism, and to relate it to contemporary literary theory. In this anthology, Dante's relevance to both English and Italian literature is highlighted, and the significance of Dante for poetry in English is illuminated for the modern reader. This book provides students of English literature and Italian literature with the most comprehensive collection of important critical studies of Dante to date.
