In poetry, there lies a canvas, a blank space to create a universe, where you cannot prepare yourself for any sets of unusual reality. A little imagination to mesmerize, inspiration is a significant different voice from art, philosophy, and religion. Poetry attempts to use consistent abstract thoughts to inspire words, which they fail to articulate. Keith Phillip sees poetry as a window to his own unpredictable self, willing to take risks, risking...

La pensée a joué - et joue toujours - un rle vital dans le devenir de l'espèce humaine dont l'histoire se conçoit et se crée à travers elle. C'est par elle, également, que l'humanité a su pallier des faiblesses qui la rendent vulnérable aux phénomènes naturels. On peut donc s'attendre à en voir la trace dans la façon dont diverses sociétés ont projeté leur existence et assumé leur place dans le monde. Comment la pensée structure-t-elle,...

Robert L. Belknap's theory of plot illustrates the active and passive role literature plays in creating its own dynamic reading experience. Literary narrative enchants us through its development of plot, but plot tells its own story about the making of narrative, revealing through its structures, preoccupations, and strategies of representation critical details about how and when a work came into being. Through a rich reading of Shakespeare's King...

And how might nurses, looking back, relate these experiences in ways that bring these memories to life again and provide historical context for how nursing education has changed and yet remained the same? In brave, revealing, and often humorous poetry and prose,...

Juan García Ponce: la mirada oblicua es una lectura de la vida y la obra de García Ponce a partir de algunos presupuestos esenciales extraídos de la propia poética del autor. No se trata solo de destacar algunos temas fundamentales y recurrentes de su obra—una sexualidad abierta que no se sustenta en la moral instituida, el incesto entre hermanos, la homosexualidad, el deseo como la fuerza que rige los comportamientos humanos, el rechazo a las...

The first great English poet was the father of English tragedy and the creator of English blank verse. Chaucer and Spenser were great writers and great men: they shared between them every gift which goes to the making of a poet except the one which alone can make a poet, in the proper sense of the word, great. Neither pathos nor humor nor fancy nor invention will suffice for that: no poet is great as a poet whom no one could ever pretend to recognize...

Description
Nerissa's Ring is the last two words of William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.
It is "upside down" because the merchants in the play were on a pilgrimage from Venice to Belmont, the home of the queenly princess, Portia, whose assistant was Nerissa. Shakespeare asserts that one can get from Venice to Belmont either by land or by sea. It turns out Belmonte is an inland town in northeastern Portugal which fits that geography.
Furthermore, today's...

En las últimas décadas hemos asistido a una proliferación tan considerable de novelas sobre la Guerra Civil española quem sin duda, podemos claificar este fenómeno como una suerte de moda literaria. David Becerra se pregunta: ¿a qué se debe esta eclosión de títulos que parecen cuestionar el pacto de silencio y olvido de la Transición? Pero, ¿verdaderamente lo cuestionan? ¿son novelas que reivindican la memoria histórica o, al contrario,...

The influential and controversial critic takes literary history out of the classroom and into the public
In the field of literary history and theory, Franco Moretti is synonymous with innovation. The cofounder of the Stanford Literary Lab, he brought quantitative methods into the study of the novel, enabling a "distant" reading that uses computation to analyze literary production over centuries. But at the same time, he was also teaching undergraduates...

In Losing the Plot, well-known scholar and writer Leon de Kock offers a lively and wide-ranging analysis of post-apartheid South African writing which, he contends, has morphed into a far more flexible and multifaceted entity than its predecessor. If postapartheid literature's founding moment was the 'transition' to democracy, writing over the ensuing years has viewed the Mandelan project with increasing doubt. Instead, authors from all quarters are...
