Описание: Of all nineteenth-century letter writers Oscar Wilde is, predictably, one of the most sparkling. He knew and corresponded with many leading political, literary and artistic figures of the time including William Gladstone, George Curzon, W. B. Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Frank Harris, Aubrey Beardsley, Max Beerbohm, John Ruskin, William Rothenstein and James Whistler.
This edition to mark the centenary of his death, and the most complete ever to appear, contains over 1,500 of his letters and anyone unfamiliar with Wilde as a correspondent will find it packed with unexpected delights. For one thing his letters show that the perception of Wilde as the lightweight author of society comedies, a few memorable poems and some fairy stories must finally make room for Wilde as a hard-working professional writer, deeply interested by the issues of his day and carrying in his intellectual baggage, something that we all too frequently overlook, a quite extraordinary classical and philosophical education. Wonderfully fluent in style, when read aloud they must be the nearest we shall ever come to hearing his legendary conversation and they bear that most familiar of Wildean hallmarks - the lightest of touches for even the most serious of subjects.
Despite the odd purple passage and the occasional glance at posterity, Wilde's letters show him at his informal best. They comment openly on his life and his work from the early years of undergraduate friendships, through his year-long lecture tour in America as a striving and ambitious young 'Professor of Aesthetics', to the short period of fame and success in the early 1890s followed by his disgrace and imprisonment. The last and most poignant section covers the five long years between his downfall and his premature death in exile at forty-six. Even in adversity his humour does not desert him and he is able to share with his readers that greatest of gifts - the ability to smile at one's own misfortune.

Описание: Artists and writers have long felt the lure of the South. Goethe was revitalised by his journey to Italy; Nietzsche took flight southwards to begin his life anew, while DH Lawrence sought the health-giving southern sun in Sicily and Sardinia. The South Seas cast a spell over Stevenson, Melville and Gauguin, while it was the frozen South...

Описание: A Kirkus Reviews most anticipated picture book of fall 2019, new from Nadia L. Hohn, named one of CBC's "6 Black Canadian writers to watch"

Louise Bennett Coverley, better known as Miss Lou, was an iconic poet and entertainer known for popularizing the use of patois in music and poetry internationally--helping to pave the way for artists like Harry Belafonte and Bob Dylan to use patois in their work. This picture book tells the story of Miss Lou's early years, when she was a young girl growing up in Jamaica.

As a child, Miss Lou loved words--particularly the Jamaican English, or patois, that she heard all around her. As a young writer, Miss Lou felt caught between writing "lines of words like tight cornrows," as her teachers instructed, and words that beat more naturally "in time with her heart."

The uplifting and inspiring story of a girl finding her own voice, this is also a vibrant, colorful, and immersive look at an important figure in our cultural history. With rich and warm illustrations bringing the story to life, A Likkle Miss Lou is a modern ode to language, girl power, diversity, and the arts.

End matter includes a glossary of Jamaican patois terms, a note about the author's "own voice" perspective as a Jamaican-Canadian writer, and a brief biography of Miss Lou and her connection to Canada, where she lived for 20 years.
