The Song of Roland (French: La Chanson de Roland) is the oldest surviving major work of French literature. It exists in various different manuscript versions, which testify to its enormous and enduring popularity in the 12th to 14th centuries. The oldest of these versions is the one in the Oxford manuscript, which contains a text of some 4,004 lines (the number varies slightly in different modern editions) and is usually dated to the middle of the twelfth century (between 1140 and 1170). The epic poem is the first and most outstanding example of the chanson de geste, a literary form that flourished between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries and celebrated the legendary deeds of a hero.

A sharp, illuminating hook that speaks to readers and scholars alike: a compass for reading the epic in a modern world.This concise, accessible work gathers Lascelles Abercrombie's insights into epic poetry through a focused literary criticism essay that blends epic poetry theory with close, practical analysis of form. It offers clear pathways for students and researchers, guiding the eye through structure, metre, and imagery while recognising how a poem's architecture shapes meaning. In a compact, complete edition, the book remains a vital tool for academic study use and thoughtful appreciation of poetry as a living craft.Rooted in early twentieth century Britain, the volume sits at the heart of the British Modernism era, engaging with ideas that influenced rivals and contemporaries alike. Abercrombie's discussions touch on the legacy of ts eliot criticism and the Ezra Pound influence, positioning the epic not as antiquarian relic but as a dynamic, evolving form. The prose invites readers to rethink what constitutes an epic, how poets wield voice and cadence, and why the long poem still speaks today.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this work is restored for today's and future generations. It is more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Perfect for casual readers and classic-literature collectors, the illustrated poetry collection invites discovery, conversation, and lasting inspiration.

May describes the magical journey of adolescence against the background of Holland's flowery dunescapes. In brush strokes of wonder-filled impressions a stunningly unspoiled girl, May, explores the promise of springtime and the intense spiritual life of youth. However, the cycle of life always moves on, and as May matures and returns to earth, she finds it readying for summer.When Herman Gorter published May (Dutch: Mei) in 1889, this spontaneous and vibrant epic poem was immediately recognized by his peers as a landmark work for Dutch literature. Inspired in part by John Keats' Endymion (1818), the poem touches upon a wide range of themes, including the innocence and wonder of childhood, the hubris and disillusionment of adolescence, unattainable divine love and the inevitability of transience, The work suggests that poetry itself may be the only way to preserve for eternity the essence of nature and of music.May was perhaps an inevitable product of the artistically revolutionary and highly lucid spirit in The Netherlands of the 1880s. While Gorter's contemporary, Vincent van Gogh, had just completed the groundbreaking Sunflowers series of paintings, Gorter succeeded with May to compose his own monument of colourful and innovative power.Second (revised) edition, English-only, including synopsis, foreword by poet Lloyd Haft and introduction by the translator.

A delicate, electric collection that hums with memory and risk. Chamber Music gathers a cluster of intimate vignettes and sharp sketches that illuminate ordinary rooms as stages for longing, doubt, and sudden insight. This short story collection-barbed with modernist sensibility-invites readers into early twentieth century ireland, where domestic life and artistic aspiration intersect in the crowded lanes of Dublin. Its portrayal of love and longing, the slipping of time, and the quiet collisions of character and circumstance resonates with both casual readers and serious lovers of literature. While it speaks to the past, its concerns feel immediate: the price and lure of art, the textures of daily life, and the stubborn glare of memory. For literature students and course reading alike, the book offers clear examples of modernist techniques deployed in a distinctly Irish voice, and it sits alongside Joyce's broader body of work as a meaningful counterpoint within modernist irish authors. Note on significance: the work stands as a key artifact in Irish fiction and modernist literature, a bridge between tradition and experimentation. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, a real companion for anyone drawn to Joyce comparative works and the rich world of Dublin fiction.

Joshua Tyrone Sanderson is a passably old, homeless black alcoholic in Indianapolis. A loner by choice, minute by minute and day by day he survives on the near downtown streets as valorously as any Agamemnon or Odysseus brandishing raw valor in battle in classical Greece or Troy.

He has steps to take, but his desire is to take them alone. But who will win - his jug, his angels or his demons?
