Scottish Poetry Drummond of Hawthornden to Ferguson : Lectures Delivered in the University of Glasgow (9781162731414)



This book is a facsimile reprint and may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. 1911. The aim of the following lectures is to trace the course of Scottish Poetry during a period which, so far as I am aware, has not hitherto been specially studied; the period, that is, which intervenes between the last followers of the old Scottish Makars and the National Revival of the Age of Burns and Scott. The temporary merging of Scottish in English Poetry, the speedy emergence of native characteristics, and the influence of the Separatist impulse generated by the Legislative Union, constitute the most noteworthy features of the time. Nor must the effect on native poetry of the nation's absorption in religious struggles and ideals be disregarded. Contents: William Drummond of Hawthornden; James Thomason; the Poet of Nature in an Artificial Age; Armstrong, Blair, Beattie, and Home; Allan Ramsay and Alexander Ross; and Robert Fergusson.

Sacred Journey (9781532698989)

This companion reveals Rudolf Schwarz to be one of the greatest theologians of the twentieth century. As a German architect and mystic he created some beautiful churches in a stripped-down 1930s-Modern style, but he is most revered for a single book-in English translation The Church Incarnate. In it he explores the relationships between God and God's people, relationships expressed when they meet together in worship. Schwarz is revered for his spiritual insights but it is sometimes hard to follow him on his mystical wanderings. This companion accompanies him on his sacred journey, gently guiding him back on track when he wanders off-course and keeping him cheerful. This journey has had a surprising outcome: a discovery that, embedded in its union of earth and heaven, is a practical and logical structure for the renewal of the church; renewal of its worship, space, and its ministry. Already several congregations seeking renewal have used these concepts to find clarity and direction ...

Brute : Poems (9781555978358)

Selected by Joy Harjo as the winner of the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets Emily Skaja's debut collection is a fiery, hypnotic book that confronts the dark questions and menacing silences around gender, sexuality, and violence. Brute arises, brave and furious, from the dissolution of a relationship, showing how such endings necessitate self-discovery and reinvention. The speaker of these poems is a sorceress, a bride, a warrior, a lover, both object and agent, ricocheting among ways of knowing and being known. Each incarnation squares itself up against ideas of feminine virtue and sin, strength and vulnerability, love and rage, as it closes in on a hard-won freedom. Brute is absolutely sure of its capacity to insist not only on the truth of what it says but on the truth of its right to say it. "What am I supposed to say: I'm free?" the first poem asks. The rest of the poems emphatically discover new ways to answer. This is a timely winner of the W...
