        Women poets of the English Civil War

        by Sarah Ross, Elizabeth Scott-Baumann

        This anthology brings together extensive selections of poetry by the five most prolific and prominent women poets of the English Civil War period: Anne Bradstreet, Hester Pulter, Margaret Cavendish, Katherine Philips and Lucy Hutchinson. It presents these poems in modern-spelling, clear-text versions for classroom use, and for ready comparison to mainstream editions of male poets' work. The anthology reveals the diversity of women's poetry in the mid-seventeenth century, across political affiliations and forms of publication. Notes on the poems and an introduction explain the contexts of Civil War, religious conflict, and scientific and literary development. The anthology enables a more comprehensive understanding of seventeenth-century women's poetic culture, both in its own right and in relation to prominent male poets such as Marvell, Milton and Dryden.

        The Wisdom of the Poem

        by DIMITRIS KAKALIDIS

        “Each poem and a vision, each vision and a truth, a potential realization.”  This is a jewel book for Greek Literature; a rare, diachronic, deeply philosophical piece of work with pioneering analyses of poems of Greek poets. Dimitris Kakalidis approaches, with respect and without any critical attitude, each poem; he discovers its sensitivities, its messages and at the same time he reveals its hidden essence. It is a work that opens “new, unprecedented paths in analyzing poems”, as mentioned by people of the letters and arts in Greece. The poet Dimitris Kakalidis, in this analytical work, focuses his interest on the poet and the poetry. He delves into each poem, scrutinizing it, studying it, and analysing it in detail. He de-symbolises and interprets the concepts it encompasses, always coming to the recognition of the one, single Poet of all, the supreme creator and exponent of the Word, also expressed “by the spoken word” of all poets. And the poets, having the gift of uniting with the entity, pulsating to its messages and conceiving the fields of the Word, respond to His current, a current of life, and shape it into verses.
