Book Description
"Much in opposition to New Historicist framing of Sir Thomas Wyatt as a puppet of Henrician power games and a prisoner of his own fate, Krisztina Szalay's book demonstrates what creative energies had sprung from this poet's unceasing fight for personal freedom. This in itself would make him a far more interesting figure than is commonly thought had he not been a truly idiosyncratic master of diction and poetical form. By analyzing some representative poems of his the essay portrays Wyatt as a poet for all seasons."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Six Minutes To Freedom
Author: Kurt Muse
Publisher: Kensington Publishing Corp.
ISBN: 0806536055
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
Dear President Bush, My name is Kimberly Anne Muse. I am writing this letter not for me but for my father, Kurt Frederick Muse. As you should know by now, he is a political prisoner in Panama. . .. Born in the United States and raised in Panama, Kurt Muse grew up with a deep love for his adopted country. But the crushing regime of General Manuel Noriega in the late 1980s threatened his, and a nation's, freedom. A nightmare of murder and unexplained disappearances compelled Kurt and a few trusted friends to begin a clandestine radio campaign, urging the people of Panama to rise up for their basic human rights. Six Minutes to Freedom is the remarkable tale of Kurt Muse's arrest and harrowing months of imprisonment; his eyewitness accounts of torture; and the plight of his family as they fled for their lives. It is also the heart-pounding account of the only American civilian ever rescued by the elite Delta Force. Timelier than ever, this is a thrilling and highly personal narrative about one man's courage and dedication to his beliefs. "A cliffhanger drama of survival against all odds." --Jeffery Deaver "A dramatic portrayal of idealism, courage, integrity, and fortitude." --John Douglas and Mark Olshaker "A must-read for anyone interested in how Delta Force operates." --John Weisman "Harrowing, entertaining, inspiring, and very, very readable." --Col. Lee A. Van Arsdale, U.S. Army Special Forces (Ret) "A thrilling chronicle that puts a human face on unspeakable actions." --Continental magazine A Featured Alternate of the Military Book Club

Literary Canons
Author: Mihály Szegedy-Maszák
Publisher: Akademiai Kiads
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
This book examines the role of canonized cultural products in the shaping of communities. In the nineteenth century interpreters often viewed cultural and literary products as the manifestations of nationhood. The preconception underlying this approach was that to understand a national culture from the inside was the only way to understand it. Currently, in a rapidly shrinking world, we witness a tendency towards global unification. The decisive shift is inseparable from the rise of translation, taken in a broad sense, as representing a retextured context, or rather a wide range of modes in interaction, interplay, and input/output interchange between what is "foreign" and what is "familiar." Highlighting the two-way traffic and tension between the traditions inherited from Romanticism and the globalization of the Postmodern age, with the aim of arriving at some form of cross-cultural understanding, is the basic intent of this work.
