Even when these poems soften, they can't be complacent about good fortune: for all the maple seedpods and snow fluttering down here, the poems are always aware of wreckage and car bombs there, and they keep conscious of the mustard gas of old wars and the losses of recent ones.

In this debut collection, Dave Lucas turns and returns to Cleveland, where he was raised. The weather of these poems arises from both the lush light of the natural world and the hard rain of industry.

In Georgia during the Great Depression, jobless workers united with the urban poor, sharecroppers, and tenant farmers. In a collective effort that cut across race and class boundaries, they confronted an unresponsive political and social system and helped shape government policies. This book lets us understand the movement.

This book challenges the entrenched notion that America's first generations of historians were romantics for a struggling young nation.

A spirited assessment of the state of civil rights history, by the leading scholars of the movement, this collection of original works refocuses attention on this bottom-up history and compels a rethinking of what and who we think are central to the movement.

With an eye toward Shakespeare's inherited resources for articulating anxieties rooted in philosophical doubt, Skulsky shows that in Hamlet, Measure for Measure, King Lear, and Othello the drama of doubt in search of an exit gives its own kind of urgency to the more familiar Shakespearean drama of action and motive.

A searching contribution to the study of what gurative language is and how it works, this book is a guide to the sophisticated and powerful artistry of the seventeenth-century English poets who have come to be known by the misleading name of "Metaphysicals."

Theological and psychological interpretations of Shakespeare's most problematic play have been pursued as complementary to each other. In this bold reading, Walter N. King brings twentieth-century Christian existentialism and post-Freudian psychological theory to bear upon Hamlet and his famous problems.

Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale, and The Tempest-three of Shakespeare's final plays diverge from his usual standards. Mowat posits that by confronting the comic form with the tragic, the realistic with the artificial, the dramatic with the narrative, Shakespeare frees romance from the traditional bounds and makes meaning in a new way.

Hunter shows how Shakespeare uses the major attitudes toward God's judgment in creating Richard III, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, and King Lear. He notes that Shakespeare's different viewpoints are the heart of the tragedies themselves.

At odds with the view that Shakespeare was a religious skeptic who only paid lip service to religious beliefs to pacify his less perceptive audience, Francis Fergusson investigates a relationship between Shakespeare and Dante, whom he sees as writing out of the same classical Christian heritage.

In this study Edmund Creeth discovers an intimate, unique, and previously unsuspected kinship between three Shakespearean tragedies-Macbeth, Othello, and King Lear-and the three oldest extant theological dramas about Mankynde-The Castell of Perseverance, Wisdom Who Is Christ, and The Pride of Life.

Cox argues that the thread connecting almost all of Shakespeare's comedies is a plot in which character change is presented metaphorically instead of realistically. Violating classical dramatic rules about the consistency of character, Shakespeare offers character changes that are improbable and unrealistic.
