Lyrical Ballads (1798) is a landmark collection of poems that marks the beginning of the English Romantic Movement in literature. Co-written by friends William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the collection broke away from traditional poetic form. Of the twenty-three poems, Wordsworth penned works such as ''Lines written a few miles above Tintern Abbey'' and ''The Idiot Boy'' that use colloquial speech and take the everyday as their theme. The collection also includes Coleridge''s greatest poem ''The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere'', a supernatural tale of a sailor''s voyage.

This authoritative edition was originally published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of Frank Kermode. It brings together a unique combination of Coleridge''s poetry and prose - all the major poems, complemented by important criticism, letters, and marginalia - to give the essence of his work and thinking. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, poet, critic, and radical thinker, exerted an enormous influence over contemporaries as different as Wordsworth, Southey and Lamb. He was also a dedicated reformer, and set out to use his reputation as a public speaker and literary philosopher to change the course of English thought.

One of the highly praised Lakeland poets, alongside his friend William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge was a founder of the Romantic movement in England. His work - still popular today - includes such classics as The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan as well as the beautiful early poem Frost at Midnight: ''Or if the secret ministry of frost, Shall hang them up in silent icicles, Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.''Despite the great beauty of his work, he suffered from bouts of depression and today it is speculated he may well have had bipolar disorder. For both mental and physical ailments he was treated with laudanum which led to a lifelong addition to opium.Coleridge''s influence was widespread - he was a major influence on Ralph Waldo Emerson - indeed, he invented the phrase suspension of disbelief. This collection is a fascinating insight into his life, as well as his work.

One of the major figures of English Romanticism, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) created works of remarkable diversity and imaginative genius. The period of his creative friendship with William Wordsworth inspired some of Coleridge''s best-known poems, from the nightmarish vision of the ''Rime of the Ancient Mariner'' and the opium-inspired ''Kubla Khan'' to the sombre passion of ''Dejection: An Ode'' and the medieval ballad ''Christabel''. His meditative ''conversation'' poems, such as ''Frost at Midnight'' and ''This Lime-Tree Bower Mr Prison'', reflect on remembrance and solitude, while late works, such as ''Youth and Age'' and ''Constancy to an Ideal Object'', are haunting meditations on mortality and lost love.

William Hazlitt (1778-1830) is among the most brilliant critics and essayists to have ever written in the English language. Combative and insightful, he was close to two generations of romantic poets. His early friendship with Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth as a young man inspired him to a literary career, but he became disillusioned with them as apostates from the cause of liberty he associated with the French Revolution. As a mature writer, he inspired John Keats and contributed to his thinking about imagination and poetic character. A forceful commentator on contemporary London, he was also a committed radical, whose ''What is the People?'' is an almost visionary statement of a new democratic politics. The Spirit of Controversy collects together Hazlitt''s most coruscating and influential essays, using versions as they first appeared, including those that originally found their way into print in the cut and thrust of the newspapers and magazines of his day.

William Wordsworth''s Guide to the Lakes gives a first-hand account of his feelings about the unique countryside that was the source of his inspiration. He addresses concerns that are relevant today, such as how the growing number of visitors, and the money they might bring, would affect such a small and vulnerable landscape.It is now understood that Wordsworth''s notion of the Lake District as ''a sort of national property, in which every man has a right and interest who has an eye to perceive and a heart to enjoy'', expressed in his Guide, gave a rationale for the foundation of the National Trust in 1895 and the establishment of the Lake District National Park in 1951. Furthermore, the 2017 nomination document for the Lake District as a World Heritage site quotes this phrase in recognition of Wordsworth''s contribution to the idea that ''landscape has a value, and that everyone has a right to appreciate and enjoy it''.

With an Introduction by Antonia Till.William Wordsworth (1771-1850) is the foremost of the English Romantic poets. He was much influenced by the events of the French Revolution in his youth, and he deliberately broke away from the artificial diction of the Augustan and neo-classical tradition of the eighteenth century. He sought to write in the language of ordinary men and women, of ordinary thoughts, sights and sounds, and his early poetry represents this fresh approach to his art.Wordsworth spent most of his adult life in the Lake District with his sister Dorothy and his wife Mary, by whom he had four children. His remarkable autobiographical poem ''The Prelude'' was completed in 1805, but was not published until after his death, and it is included in this full edition of Wordsworth''s poetry.

First published in July 1850, shortly after Wordsworth''s death, The Prelude was the culmination of over fifty years of creative work. The great Romantic poem of human consciousness, it takes as its theme ''the growth of a poet''s mind'': leading the reader back to Wordsworth''s formative moments of childhood and youth, and detailing his experiences as a radical undergraduate in France at the time of the Revolution. Initially inspired by Coleridge''s exhortation that Wordsworth write a work upon the French Revolution, The Prelude has ultimately become one of the finest examples of poetic autobiography ever written; a fascinating examination of the self that also presents a comprehensive view of the poet''s own creative vision.

“Though absent long,These forms of beauty have not been to me,As is a landscape to a blind man’s eye:But oft, in lonely rooms, and mid the dinOf towns in cities, I have owed to them,In hours of weariness, sensations sweet,Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart”William Wordsworth’s verse was the embodiment of the Romantic age, with its evocation of a unifying spirit running through all things. This collection brings together a rich and diverse selection of his works, from the epic autobiographical masterpiece The Prelude to much-loved shorter poems such as ‘I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud’ and ‘She Was a Phantom of Delight’. Alongside his more personal and introspective compositions, poems such as ‘Lines Written a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey’, ‘She Dwelt among the Untrodden Ways’ and ‘The Idiot Boy’ demonstrate, in an era of political and social ferment, the manner in which Wordsworth, together with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, forged a revolutionary new poetic style through the publication of Lyrical Ballads – one that embraced the vernacular and subjects previously deemed unworthy of poetry – and thus changed the literary landscape of England for ever.

t is hard to imagine how radically the tender songs and simple stories in this collection changed the history of English poetry, but Wordsworth exerted a profound influence on the whole of nineteeth-century culture in Britain and America.

These three he blended together in a verse which is simple in manner but profound and deeply moving in content.In an age of revolutionary upheaval, industrial stress and religious doubt, Wordsworth rediscovered spiritual value in the individual's encounter with nature. In our own age of ecological disaster and moral uncertainty, his achievement speaks to us more urgently than ever.

William Wordsworth''s later poetry complicates possibilities of life and art in war''s aftermath. This illuminating study provides new perspectives and reveals how his work following the end of the revolutionary and Napoleonic wars reflects a passionate, lifelong engagement with the poetics and politics of peace. Focusing on works from between 1814 and 1822, Philip Shaw constructs a unique and compelling account of how Wordsworth, in both his ongoing poetic output and in his revisions to earlier works, sought to modify, refute, and sometimes sustain his early engagement with these issues as both an artist and a political thinker. In an engaging style, Shaw reorients our understanding of the later writings of a major British poet and the post-war literary culture in which his reputation was forged.

Jedná se o nejprodávanější album této skupiny, čemuž značně dopomohl i klip k písni Where the Wild Roses Grow, který vysílala hudební televize MTV. Ta také ještě tentýž rok nominovala Nicka Cavea na zpěváka roku. Nominace byla později na Caveovu žádost stažena. Obsah: LP 1 A1. Song of Joy A2. Stagger Lee A3. Henry Lee -- Feat. Pj Harvey A4.

The prize-winning biography of Wordsworth''s beloved sister, champion, muse who was at the heart of the Romantic movement in Britain - reissued to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Dorothy''s birth.''Genius ... Its own kind of heaven.'' New York Times ''A most beautiful, deep, and humble study of incredibly complex people.'' Oliver Sacks Dorothy Wordsworth is an enigma. William''s beloved sister was his muse, champion, and most valued reader. She is mythologised as a self-effacing spinster and saintly amanuensis, yet Thomas De Quincey described her as ''all fire and ardour''. Dorothy sacrificed a traditional life to share in her brother''s world of words. In her Grasmere Journals, she vividly recorded their intimate life together in the Lake District, marked by a startling freedom from social convention. The tale that unfolds in her brief, electric entries reveals an intense bond between siblings, culminating in Dorothy''s collapse on William''s wedding day - after which the woman who once strode the hills in all weathers retreated inside the house for the last three decades of her life.In her magisterial biography, Frances Wilson uses the compressed emotion of Dorothy''s journals to evoke the rich interior world of a woman determined to live on her own ...

Samuel Porten, muzikálně nadané a citlivé dítě, má před sebou slibnou kariéru houslisty, ale jeho dětská duše prochází peklem neharmonické viktoriánské rodiny obchodníka s nemovitostmi a jeho ambiciózní, zneuznané ženy - životem zhrzené matky prahnoucí po uznání. Samuel se před matčiným despotismem uzavírá a začíná si utvářet svůj vlastní svět - plný otázek, hledání a zejména fantazie. Po nenadálé otcově smrti se v jeho životě příliš nezmění, ale pak do jejich domu přijde Marion, dívka, která se příležitostně stará o chod domácnosti. Vzájemná náklonost Marion a Samuela přeroste v hlubší vztah. Samuel nalézá odvahu k úniku z dusivého sevření své matky a věří, že Marion mu pomůže se osamostatnit. Jejich společný samostatný život se zdá být životním vítězstvím. Samuel ale netuší, jak zrádný se tento krok, na který není připraven, ukáže. Samuelovy city k Marion jsou konfrontovány s jeho veřejným úspěchem virtuosa a Samuel nedokáže střízlivě zhodnotit svůj nově získaný status celebrity. Status, o němž až příliš pozdě pochopí, jak je iluzorní. Vztah s Marion se hroutí a po jejím nečekaném zmizení se Samuelovi jeho život na dlouhá léta vymkne z rukou. Díky pomoci rodinného přítele pana Harta a také pomoci matky, které není osud syna lhostejný a zpovzdálí vše ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Previously published as The Shorter Pepys, Samuel Pepys'' The Diary of Samuel Pepys: A Selection is a collection of scintillating first-hand accounts of Restoration England, from the most tumultuous events to the simplest domestic pleasures, selected and edited by Robert Latham.The 1660s represent a turning point in English history, and for the main events - the Restoration, the Dutch War, the Great Plague, the Fire of London - Pepys provides a definitive eyewitness account. As well as recording public and historical events, Pepys paints a vivid picture of his personal life, from his socializing and amorous entanglements, to his theatre-going and his work at the Navy Board. Unequalled for its frankness, high spirits and sharp observations, the diary is both a literary masterpiece and a marvellous portrait of seventeenth-century life.Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) achieved fame as a naval administrator and a friend and colleague of the powerful and learned. For nearly ten years he kept a private diary in which he recorded life in Restoration London, commenting on politics, public events, and private matters.If you enjoyed The Diary of Samuel Pepys, you might like Alexander Pope''s The Rape of the Lock and Other Major Writings, also available in Penguin Classics.''''For anyone ...

''Samuel Kasumu has written an important - and very moving - book about the outsider phenomenon.'' - Robert Peston'' I loved reading about your childhood and your anxieties as a father. The personal is so well mixed with the analytical. Thank you for reflecting our experiences and ideas so well and so sensitively. This is really great to read!'' - Kadie Kanneh-MasonSamuel Kasumu was the most senior black advisor in Boris Johnson''s government, until he left in April 2021. Throughout his time in Whitehall, Samuel became increasingly aware that he was an outsider - that his own experiences, assumptions and language were so different to many of those he found himself surrounded by in Downing Street.In this book Samuel considers who outsiders are, why they are not talked about enough and how it can be a source of strength that leads them to become high achievers. He argues that the success of many great people can be explained by their outsider status.Drawing on his own experiences in government, growing up and beyond, as well as the stories of other outsiders, famous and lesser known, Samuel shows how outsiders are more likely to be trailblazers and break barriers, how they have ...
