D.H. Lawrence, the Poet who was Not Wrong

Author: Douglas A. Mackey
Publisher: Wildside Press LLC
ISBN: 0893702714
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 158

Book Description
Although D. H. Lawrence is justly celebrated as the author of such seminal novels as The Rainbow, Sons and Lovers, Women in Love, The Plumed Serpent, and Lady Chatterley's Lover, he also produced a considerable body of poetry, collected together in a thousand-page volume in 1928. The overall quality of the writer's verse is superb. It is permeated with the Lawrencean voice, the incandescent language, the recurrent symbology, the sense of wonder at nature, the subtle portrayals of human relationships, and the metaphysical thrust. Mackey provides the first lengthy examination of Lawrence's poems. Complete with Chronology, Bibliography, and Index.

The Secret History of Nursery Rhymes

Author: Linda Kathryn Alchin
Publisher: Linda Alchin
ISBN: 0956748627
Category : Folklore
Languages : en
Pages : 97

Book Description
Many nursery rhymes are believed to be associated with actual events in history, and include references to murder, torture, betrayal, greed, and to tyrants and royalty. The words were remembered but their secret histories were forgotten. Political satire was cleverly disguised in the wording of some, seemingly innocent, nursery rhymes. Although some of the most popular Nursery Rhymes are rooted in English history they are told to children throughout the English-speaking world. Old English Nursery Rhymes were taken to America with the settlers from England. They were then spread across Commonwealth countries including Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
