Lives Like Loaded Guns: Emily Dickinson and Her Family's Feuds

 A startling portrayal of one of America's most significant literary figures that will change the way we view her life and legacy

 In 1882, Emily Dickinson's brother Austin began a passionate love affair with Mabel Todd, a young Amherst faculty wife, setting in motion a series of events that would forever change the lives of the Dickinson family. The feud that erupted as a result has continued for over a century. Lyndall Gordon, an award-winning biographer, tells the riveting story of the Dickinsons, and reveals Emily as a very different woman from the pale, lovelorn recluse that exists in the popular imagination. Thanks to unprecedented use of letters, diaries, and legal documents, Gordon digs deep into the life and work of Emily Dickinson, to reveal the secret behind the poet's insistent seclusion, and presents a woman beyond her time who found love, spiritual sustenance, and immortality all on her own terms. An enthralling story of creative genius, filled with illicit passion and betrayal, Lives Like Loaded Guns is sure to cause a stir among Dickinson's many devoted readers and scholars.

Poetry: The Basics

 How do I read a poem? Do I really understand poetry?
This comprehensive guide demystifies the world of poetry, exploring poetic forms and traditions which can at first seem bewildering. Showing how any reader can gain more pleasure from poetry, it looks at the ways in which poetry interacts with the language we use in our everyday lives and explores how poems use language and form to create meaning.
Drawing on examples ranging from Chaucer to children's rhymes, Cole Porter to Carol Ann Duffy, and from around the English-speaking world, it looks at aspects including: 
 * how technical aspects such as rhythm and measures work
 * how different tones of voice affect a poem
 * how poetic language relates to everyday language
 * how different types of poetry work, from sonnets to free verse
 * how the form and 'space' of a poem contributes to its meaning.

The Sonnets and Other Poems (Modern Library Classics)

 Product Description: Shakespeare became famous as a dazzling poet before most people even knew that he wrote plays.

Incorporating definitive texts and authoritative notes from William Shakespeare: Complete Works, this unique volume also includes an expanded Introduction by Jonathan Bate that places the poems in literary and historical context and illuminates their relationship to Shakespeare’s dramatic writing. Also featured are key facts about the individual selections  an index of the first lines of the sonnets  a chronology of Shakespeare’s life and times  and recommendations for further reading.

Companion to British Poetry Before 1600

The first volume in a four-volume set on British poetry includes English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish poetry before 1600. For this volume, editor Sauer has chosen the poems and poets who are most often included in the major anthologies of literature and the most used high-school textbooks. This means students will find analysis of Beowulf, The Canterbury Tales, The Faerie Queene, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Shakespeare’s sonnets in one place. The 600 A–Z entries cover poets, poems, themes, terms, and historical events. Appendixes contain a glossary of literary terms and a bibliography. All articles are signed and include see also references and lists of further readings in journals and books. Entries range in length from a few paragraphs to 43 pages for Shakespeare’s sonnets. The entries on poems give an overview of the text, a discussion of the style, the historical context, and the most common interpretations of the poem.  The covered poets include not only the greats but also lesser-known but important poets, such as Bede and Dafydd ap Gwilym, along with many anonymous poets. Also included are some influential non-British poets, such as Ovid and Boccaccio. Important historical personages, such as Alfred the Great and Queen Elizabeth I, are treated in entries that explain their impact on writers of the time. Thematic entries provide background information for such topics as Arthurian literature, Peasants’ revolt, and Welsh women poets. Literary terms (e.g., Ballade, Octave) are explained in simple terms. In jargon-free language, this volume brings together a great deal of information that will be helpful to literature students. The analysis of poems will help them understand these early works, while the historical, biographical, and literary information will be useful in research. Gale’s series Poetry for Students has a much longer analysis of individual poems, but students would have to go through 30 volumes to find the poem they need, and the ongoing set is much more expensive.

Shakespeare in the Romanian Cultural Memory[2006]

 While it posits the problematics in the historical development of Shakespeare's presence in Romanian culture, the study gives a detailed history of the translations and productions of the plays, focusing on the most significant aspects of their literary, social, and political appropriation over the past two centuries. The author locates the arguments in a vista of cultural, social, and political issues that affected the local responses to Shakespeare. This monograph represents the cultural mediation of Romania in the context of "Shakespeare" understood as a construct shaping and created by various cultures. The description of Romanian cultural products and stage history examines how early translations from Shakespeare of production of plays grouped according to genre have contributed to the modeling of a theatrical selfhood that was linked to the European reception of the English poet. The survey of early versions of Shakespeare shows how Romanian translators interpreted the allusions in the text, while the cultural authority of the Shakespeare figure was perceived as a means of facilitating the country's exit from the status of a marginalized Balkan elsewhere. Romania, like other Eastern European stages, has exploited Shakespeare's canonical significance in the world civilization in order to leave its marginal status and assume the cultural, social, and political values of the other, mainly Western, European countries.

Requests and Culture: Politeness in British English and Japanese

The present study is concerned with the study of politeness in the context of cross-cultural pragmatics. Specifically, the investigation reported here may contribute to cross-cultural pragmatics by applying and developing Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory (Brown and Levinson, 1978  1987), notably with respect to requests and responses to off-record requests. Brown and Levinson have made a significant contribution to theory, but as they themselves acknowledge (Ibid.: 11), they have not provided an equally sound methodology, and in this study, I attempt to put their politeness theory on to a more secure methodological footing, to be discussed in more detail in chapter 5.

Since its first publication in 1978, Brown and Levinson’s theory of politeness has been subject to many criticisms. Taking account of such criticisms, and considering their theory in more detail, I will attempt to argue that:
1. the variables determining politeness strategies proposed by Brown and Levinson are valid  and
2. Brown and Levinson’s framework is still valid for cross-cultural comparison.

Reported Discourse: A Meeting Ground for Different Linguistic Domains (Typological Studies in Language)

 Almost all papers present a major shift away from analyzing reported discourse with the help of abstract transformational principles toward embedding it in functional and pragmatic aspects of language.
Another central methodological approach pervading this collection consists in the discourse-oriented examination of reported discourse based on large corpora of spoken or written texts which is increasingly replacing analyses of constructed de-contextualized utterances prevalent in many earlier treatments.
The book closes with a comprehensive bibliography on reported discourse of about 1.000 entries.

The Grammar of Words: An Introduction to Linguistic Morphology

 Geert Booij's popular textbook examines how words are formed, compounded, and inflected in different languages. It shows how, when, and why to use methods of morphological analysis and explains how morphology relates to syntax, phonology, and semantics. The author considers the universal characteristics of morphology and how these are reflected in the workings of mind. The revised edition has been revised and updated throughout  it has a full glossary and a new chapter on the field's most notorious problem: the status of the word.

'The Grammar of Words by Geert Booij covers a broad range of topics from structural questions to psycholinguistic issues and problems of language change. This introduction to morphology is thorough and accessible and, like other works by this renowned author, especially strong at showing the significance of empirical facts for theoretical reasoning.'

Communicating by speech is seemingly one of the most natural activities for humans. However, despite its apparent obviousness and ease, speech production is a very complex activity with multiple levels of organization involved with transforming cognitive intent into a meaningful sequence of sounds. This book establishes a connection between the physiology of speech and linguistics, and provides a detailed account of speech production processes, indicating how various languages of the world make use of human anthropophonic capacities. The book also offers new insights into the possible ways in which articulatory-based phonetics and phonology might be unified, making it essential reading matter for anyone involved in this field. Numerous illustrations are included which enhance the reader’s understanding.

The American Language, first published in 1919, is H. L. Mencken's book about the English language as spoken in the United States.

Mencken was inspired by "the argot of the colored waiters" in Washington, as well as one of his favorite authors, Mark Twain, and his experiences on the streets of Baltimore. In 1902, Mencken remarked on the "queer words which go into the making of 'United States.'" The book was preceded by several columns in The Evening Sun. Mencken eventually asked "Why doesn't some painstaking pundit attempt a grammar of the American language... English, that is, as spoken by the great masses of the plain people of this fair land?" It would appear that he answered his own question.

In the tradition of Noah Webster, who wrote the first American dictionary, Mencken wanted to defend "Americanisms" against a steady stream of English critics, who usually isolated Americanisms as borderline barbarous perversions of the mother tongue. Mencken assaulted the prescriptive grammar of these critics and American "schoolmarms", arguing, like Samuel Johnson in the preface to his dictionary, that language evolves independently of textbooks.

The book discusses the beginnings of "American" variations from "English", the spread of these variations, American names and slang over the course of its 374 pages. According to Mencken, American English was more colorful, vivid, and creative than its British counterpart.
