Enjoy this classic work today. These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Heroes of Asgard - Tales from Scandinavian Mythology: Look inside the book: The worlds beginning, the golden years, the first shadow of evil, evil that came with times, evil fated to come, the troubles of various kinds, all death shadows which fell upon the gods (we shall trace them in the following tales); and above all, hanging over all, crowning all, the twilight, the struggle, the end, the renewing; for it is not, be it observed, the end of the world, of time, of succession of events that is recorded in this myth (called the Ragnark Myth), but rather of the struggling powers that had been brought by these, that had formed these. . . . But we, who are not so presumptuous as to enquire into the future of the ages, and are neither learned nor over inquisitive like king Gylfi, will go on listening to the great-grandmothers stories, giant stories and god stories-a little bit that one remembers, and a little bit that another remembers, and so on; and all the time we will try to make the story tellers clear to one another and to ourselves as they go on, translating their old fashioned words into our own common every day words and modes of speech, so that we may have at least a chance of understanding them.

Burns (history, California State U., Los Angeles) and Siracusa (global studies, social science, and planning, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia) present a resource text covering a period in U.S. history regarded by many as the best and worst of times. Opening with a chronology followed by an introductory essay focusing on the two administrations and placing them in context, the text features a dictionary section with entries for key individuals, major events, path-breaking legislations adopted, and the economic, social, and cultural background to the period. Five appendices provide lists of officials, elections, and congresses; constitutional amendments; a sampling of addresses by Kennedy and Johnson; and the text of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech. The text also contains a selected bibliography organized into 30 topic areas. Originally published in hardback under the title Historical Dictionary of the Kennedy-Johnson Era. (2009 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR), Scarecrow Pr., 2009, Viva Books, 2014. First edition. Hardcover. New. .. .. It is in situations of ‘free play of the mind’ (as happens in Shakespeare’s comedies) that Shakespeare’s women shine, and outshine, men. Rosalind or Portia, Hermia or Helena, each outshines their lovers as well as those against their love. They always remind us of the need to change the mind-set: “I would my father looked but with my eyes,” says Hermia in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Also, for the life or strife in the political sphere, women in Shakespeare show better instinct and intelligence, if not greater passion for power, daring for destruction, or cunning for contrivance. Think of Lady Macbeth, Calphurnia, Cleopatra, and Juliet. All in all, Shakespeare seems to plead and promote the cause of women’s rightful place both in private and public spheres. The present book stresses this particular aspect through essays included in it. The book has essays selected out of 200 presentations at The Shakespeare Association’s 5th annual international conference held at Kota (Rajasthan) on October4-6, 2012. Including a galaxy of senior scholars and young researchers, the volume presents a variety of perspectives built around the woman question in Shakespeare. Contents: CHAPTER 1: Introduction — Bhim S.

Paperback. New. Paperback. 624 pages. Dimensions: 7.7in. x 4.9in. x 1.1in.In the fourteenth century Geoffrey Chaucer, who served three kings as a customs official and special envoy, virtually invented English poetry. He did so by wedding the language of common speech to metrical verse, creating a medium that could accommodate tales of courtly romance, bawdy fabliaux, astute psychological portraiture, dramatic monologues, moral allegories, and its authors astonishing learning in fields from philosophy to medicine and astrology. Chaucers accomplishment is unequalled by any poet before Shakespeare andin The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Cressidaranks with that of the great English novelists. Both The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Cressida are presented complete in this anthology, in fresh modern translations by Theodore Morrison that convey both the gravity and gaiety of the Middle English originals. The Portable Chaucer also contains selections from The Book of Duchess, The House of Fame, The Birds Parliament, and The Legend of Good Women, together with short poems. Morrisons introduction is vital for its insights into Chaucer as man and artist, and as a product of the Middle Ages whose shrewdness, humor, and compassion have a wonderfully contemporary ring.
