Chaucer: Second Edition (Routledge Library Editions: Chaucer)

by S.S. Hussey

Originally published in 1981, this second edition built on the success of the first which had established itself as a standard introduction to the poetry of Geoffrey Chaucer. It shows Chaucer not only in the context of his own age, but, more important, as a writer and a man who is still vivid to us so many years later. As well as examining the early poems, Troilus and Criseyde, and The Canterbury Tales the author gives a thorough account of Chaucer's background. He examines the traditions in which he wrote, his audience, and his position among his contemporaries. The second edition was updated throughout and included a number of revisions and additions, in particular on the second part of the Roman de la Rose and on The Knight's Tale.

Quotations for the Fast Lane

by Richard W. Pound

Richard Pound has spent half a lifetime identifying, collecting, and organizing thousands of quotations. Quotations for the Fast Lane is the result of that effort, selected by someone with an impressive range of local, national, and international experience, and arranged alphabetically by theme to be easily accessible for all readers and all occasions. Words from personalities ranging from William Blake to Warren Buffett on all topics imaginable, serve to elevate and inspire. The great majority of the quotations in this book are pithy, often humorous and sardonic, but always containing an interesting perspective on life, conduct, and achievement. Quotations for the Fast Lane: "I have great faith in fools - my friends call it self-confidence." Edgar Allan Poe "It is better to be approximately right than precisely wrong." Warren Buffett "The last refuge of the insomniac is a sense of superiority to the sleeping world." Leonard Cohen

Fous, prodigues et ivrognes: Familles et déviance à Montréal au XIXe siècle (Studies on the History of Quebec/Études d'histoire du Québec #20)

by Thierry Nootens

À travers l’analyse de près de 500 procédures d’interdiction engagées entre 1820 et 1895, Fous, prodigues et ivrognes examine les interactions entre les acteurs impliqués dans la régulation de la déviance : familles, système judiciaire, institutions asilaires et médecins. Tournant le dos à l’approche institutionnelle classique, Thierry Nootens considère la famille – et non l’État, la profession médicale ou l’asile – comme le lieu principal de définition et de régulation des diverses formes de déviance.

Evolutionary Intuitionism: A Theory of the Origin and Nature of Moral Facts

by Brian Zamulinski

Evolutionary Intuitionism presents a new evolutionary theory of human morality. Zamulinski explains the evolution of foundational attitudes, whose relationships to acts constitute moral facts. With foundational attitudes and the resulting moral facts in place, he shows how they ground a plausible normative morality, give answers to meta-ethical questions, and provide an account of moral motivation. He explains the nature of moral intuitions and, thus, of our access to the moral facts. He shows that the theory makes confirmed empirical predictions, including the observable variation in moral views. The combination of intuitionism and evolutionary ethics enables Zamulinski to overcome the standard objections to both.

Schubert's Songs: A Biographical Study

by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau

In this book Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, one of the greatest interpreters of German Lieder, conducts a masterly study of the genesis and development of Schubert's music, revealed in terms of the composer's own life and growth to psychological maturity. Of the six hundred and eight Lieder that Schubert composed during his brief life, only a very small proportion was widely known until Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau recorded three volumes of them and began to introduce the neglected ones into his concert programs. This book sets the songs against the background of the composer's life in Vienna, revealing the relevance of his Lieder to the age he lived in. With the outstanding musicianship and complete sincerity that are the hallmarks of his art, the author discusses the brilliance and diversity of the Lieder settings, from the simple strophic to the "through composed" song and the great song cycles; and he deals in detail with the texts, which range from those by Goethe and Shakespeare to the often indifferent verses of the composer's friends. For singers and accompanists, professional and amateur musicians, record enthusiasts, and concert-goers everywhere, this is a book of inestimable value--by a great musician--about one of the greatest musicians of all time. Probably the best-known baritone in the Western world, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau was born in Germany in 1925. Since the beginning of his career in post-World War II Germany, his influence on singers and singing has been enormous. Renowned for his performances of the songs of Schubert, Brahms, Schumann, Beethoven, Mozart, Verdi, and Wagner, he is acclaimed by musicians and critics as one of the supreme artists of our time.

He gives examples of tragic writing from a wide variety of dramatic literatures and relates theoretical writings on tragedy and the tragedies that have been contemporaneous with them.

There is also discussion of tragic writing in the modern novel.

A Dictionary of Cliches

This work is full of things better left unsaid: hackneyed phrases, idioms battered into senselessness, infuriating Gallicisms, once-familiar quotations and tags from the ancient classics.

For the Love of Music: A Conductor's Guide to the Art of Listening

by John Mauceri

With a lifetime of experience, profound knowledge and understanding, and heartwarming appreciation, an internationally celebrated conductor and teacher answers the questions: Why should I listen to classical music? How can I get the most from the listening experience?A protégé of Leonard Bernstein--his colleague for eighteen years--and an eminent conductor who has toured and recorded all over the world, John Mauceri helps us to reap the joys and pleasures classical music has to offer. Briefly, we learn the way a musical tradition born in ancient Greece, embraced by the Roman Empire, and subsequently nurtured by influences from across the globe, gave shape to the classical music that came to be embraced by cultures from Japan to Bolivia. Then Mauceri examines the music itself, helping us understand what it is we hear when we listen to classical music: how, by a kind of sonic metaphor, it expresses the deepest recesses of human feeling and emotion; how each piece bears the traces of its history; how the concert experience--a unique one each and every time--allows us to discover music anew. Unpretentious, graceful, instructive, this is a book for the aficionado, the novice, and anyone looking to have the love of music fired within them.

A Dictionary for Dreamers (Routledge Library Editions: Sleep and Dreams #2)

by Tom Chetwynd

Originally published in Great Britain in 1972 and distilled from the collective wisdom of the great interpreters of dreams – Freud, Jung, Adler, Stekel and Gutheil, among others – this comprehensive key to the baffling language of dream symbolism is a thought-provoking and invaluable guide to the uncharted country of the mind. Tom Chetwynd has isolated for the first time the rich meanings of over 500 archetypal symbols from the indiscriminate mass of dream material, and rated the likelihoods of the various possible interpretation in each case. Here are the essential clues to understanding the ingeniously disguised, life-enriching, often urgent messages to be found in dreams.
