Kniha symbolických próz irského spisovatele a nositele Nobelovy ceny za literaturu z roku 1923 Williama Butlera Yeatse (1865-1939) nachází jednotu historických epoch, hlavních období lidského života a charakterových typů v cyklu měsíčních fází. Kniha měla být po vzoru Poundových Cantos sumou autorova poznání a představuje zdroj nejpůsobivějších Yeatsových symbolů z jeho pozdního tvůrčího období. Yeats věnoval Vizi téměř patnáct let svého života a první verzi z roku 1924 upravoval a doplňoval až do roku 1931. Jeho básnická tvorba tím však ani v nejmenším neutrpěla a pozdní básnické sbírky Věž (The Tower) a Točité schodiště (The Winding Stair) z let 1928 a 1933 jsou právem pokládány za její vrchol. Vize (poprvé vyšla v roce 1937) však není pouhým výkladem autorova esoterického systému. Obsahuje i autobiografické pasáže, v nichž autor vysvětluje genezi této knihy, a nemalý podíl na jeho vzniku měla Yeatsova žena Bertha Georgie - médium a zprostředkovatelka automatického psaní, které tvoří základní obrazy a metafory tohoto výjimečného díla.

The Tower was W. B. Yeats''s first major collection of poetry as Nobel Laureate after the receiving the Nobel Prize in 1923. It is considered to be one of his most influential collections. The title refers to Thoor Ballylee Castle, a Norman tower that Yeats purchased in 1917 and later restored. The Tower includes some of his greatest and most innovative poems including ''Sailing to Byzantium'', a lyrical meditation on man''s disillusionment with the physical world; ''Leda and the Swan'', a violent and graphic take on the Greek myth of Leda and Zeus and ''Among School Children'', a poetic contemplation of life, love and the creative process.

Kniha, kterou lze považovat za vyvrcholení celoživotní tvůrčí práce W. B. Yeatse a základní zdroj jeho pozdní filozoficko-symbolické poezie, vychází v novém českém překladu. Obsahově navazuje na myšlenky z esejů Magie či Per amica silentia lunae a na povídky jako Rosa alchemica, Desky zákona a Klanění králů. Kniha tak spojuje Yeatsův zájem o irský folklor, mystiku a ezoterické vědy, ale i o filozofii, politiku a samozřejmě básnickou tvorbu. Dílo je rozděleno do pěti knih věnovaných psychologii, dějinám umění, estetice či filozofii dějin. Lze ho vnímat jako ucelený soubor „metafor pro poezii“, básnických obrazů v próze i jako ambiciózní pokus o načrtnutí všeobjímajícího filozoficko-estetického systému.

''To see a World in a Grain of Sand''And a Heaven in a Wild FlowerHold Infinity in the palm of your handAnd Eternity in an hour''William Blake wrote some of the most moving and memorable verse in the English language. Deeply committed to visionary and imaginative experience, yet also fiercely engaged with the turbulent politics of his era, he is now recognised as a major contributor to the Romantic Movement. This edition presents Blake''s poems in their literary categories and genres to which they belong: his much-loved lyrics, ballads, comic and satirical verse, descriptive and discursive poems, verse epistles, and, finally, his remarkable ''prophetic'' poems, including the whole of his two diffuse epics, Milton and Jerusalem. Blake''s poetry is intellectually challenging as well as formally inventive, and this edition has a substantial critical introduction which places his ideas in the contemporary context of the Enlightenment and the artistic reaction against its key assumptions.

“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.

In 1593 Shakespeare awoke and found himself famous. Lines from his comic, erotic, tragic poem Venus and Adonis were on everyone's lips.The appearance in 1594 of the darkly reflective and richly descriptive Rape of Lucrece confirmed his fame as 'Sweet Master Shakespeare', Elizabethan England's most brilliant non-dramatic poet. Shorter poems in this volume testify further to Shakespeare's versatility and to his poetic fame. Some, like the much-debated 'Phoenix and Turtle', pose problems of meaning; others raise questions about authorship and authenticity.

With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English, University of Sussex. W. B. Yeats was Romantic and Modernist, mystical dreamer and leader of the Irish Literary Revival, Nobel prizewinner, dramatist and, above all, poet. He began writing with the intention of putting his 'very self' into his poems. T. S. Eliot, one of many who proclaimed the Irishman's greatness, described him as 'one of those few whose history is the history of their own time, who are part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them'. For anyone interested in the literature of the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century, Yeats's work is essential. This volume gathers the full range of his published poetry, from the hauntingly beautiful early lyrics (by which he is still fondly remembered) to the magnificent later poems which put beyond question his status as major poet of modern times. Paradoxical, proud and passionate, Yeats speaks today as eloquently as ever.

From the publication of his first poems at the age of twenty, to his Nobel Prize in 1923, W. B. Yeats grew from an aspiring poet spellbound by the mystical life, to an Irish senator crafting modernist poetry around a complex system of symbolism. When You are Old: Early Poems and Fairy Tales returns to the younger Yeats, encountering him through Irish mythology and much-beloved poems like "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" and "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven" that made him popular during his own lifetime. The poems, plays, and prose collected here present Yeats as the 1890s aesthete who dressed as a dandy, collected Irish folklore, dabbled in magic, and wrote beautiful poems for his beloved, steeped in the late-Victorian aesthetics of the symbolist and decadence movements, as well as early modernism. Approaching his early verse and tales with innocent candor as if reading Yeats for the first time, this volume proffers lush images of western Ireland full of faeries and otherworldly beings, framed within a profound fascination with aestheticism and the Arts and Crafts Movement, all giving expression to Yeats''s early nationalist sympathies.

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.

Less haunting, but still so relevant: ''Life is a long preparation for something that never happens.''W B Yeats was one of the foremost figures of 20th century literature. Winner of a Nobel prize, he was also a political figure, and, as is evident from his earlier work, fascinated by Irish folklore and the occult.

Millicent Fawcett once described Josephine Butler as ''the most distinguished English woman of the nineteenth century''. Among the first feminist activists, Butler raised public awareness of the plight of destitute women, worked to address human trafficking and led a vigorous campaign to secure equal rights for women before the law. In her pursuit of justice, Butler did as much for women as William Wilberforce did for African slaves within the British Empire, and yet, while Wilberforce remains a household name, Butler is forgotten. Underpinning Butler''s public life of political activism lies the full corpus of her writing and the spirituality that grounded her activism. When Courage Calls offers a profound examination of Butler''s inner life of prayer, defined by her radical sense of justice that was able to transform Victorian society. Such conviction offers us a taste of what might be possible for our own time and culture.

An homage to the childhood genius of Black science fiction writer Octavia E. Butler. Bringing to view a selection of Butler''s unpublished writings and drawings, this book traces her fascination with human-alien symbiosis to her early empathy with horses and other marginalized creatures. The figure of the horse, at once earthly and transcendent, represented the contradictions of freedom and captivity that enabled young Octavia to develop her nuanced sense of voice and place. Drawing on previously unknown archival research, this volume illustrates how Butler''s development as a writer was tied to her extraordinary resourcefulness and self-awareness growing up as an awkward, bookish Black girl in segregated, Cold War Pasadena. She persistently re-visited and revised her early writings on teenage angst, Martians, Westerns, and racial politics. In one way or another her supernatural characters defied the constraints of gender, race, and class with equine-inflected resilience.In the spirit of Butler''s passion for library research, this book is comprised of twenty-six short A-Z chapters, on vocabulary, images, and themes central to her authorial formation.

Marked by a vernacular American speech and direct observation of the landscape and people of his native New Jersey, his poetry explores the ''raw merging of American pastoral and urban squalor.

With iconic imagery and engrossing text, Black TV is the first book of its kind to celebrate the groundbreaking, influential, and often under-appreciated shows centered on Black people and their experiences from the last fifty years.  Over the past decade, television has seen an explosion of acclaimed and influential debut storytellers including Issa Rae (Insecure), Donald Glover (Atlanta), and Michaela Coel (I May Destroy You). This golden age of Black television would not be possible without the actors, showrunners, and writers that worked for decades to give voice to the Black experience in America.  Written by veteran TV reporter Bethonie Butler, Black TV tells the stories behind the pioneering series that led to this moment, celebrating the laughs, the drama, and the performances we’ve loved over the last fifty years. Beginning with Julia, the groundbreaking sitcom that made Diahann Carroll the first Black woman to lead a prime-time network series as something other than a servant, she explores the 1960s and 1970s as an era of unprecedented representation, with shows like Soul Train, Roots, and The Jeffersons.

The figures of Michael Robartes and Owen Aherne appear throughout the writing of the great Irish poet W.B. Yeats, featuring in his poems, short fictions, dialogues and as authorities in notes to his work. Bringing together into one volume published and unpublished writings featuring these two enigmatic figures, W.B. Yeats’s Robartes-Aherne Writings traces their history and the development of Yeats’s mystical thought that culminated (twice) in the publication of his visionary work A Vision (1925, 1937). Including reproductions of manuscript and notebook pages as well as transcriptions and extracts from a wide range of Yeats’s mystical writings and substantial commentary and annotation throughout, this book is an essential resource for scholars of Yeats’s thought, his stylistic evolution and the esoteric influences on modernist writing in the early 20th century.
