Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. No Dust Jacket. First Edition. No d/w, outline of sticker on front cover, otherwise Fine.; This book examines the significance of John Gower's re-creations of the cultural past in the Confessio Amantis through the stories and teachings of the confessor, Genius. Although the poem has many of the attributes of a compilation, Gower reforms material to create a range of `wise' responses to important moral questions, intended to sharpen his readers' judgment and nurture their capacity to deal with the uncertainties of the moral life. Olsson analyses the poet's conversions of old to new as an effort to inspire the moral renewal of the age. He contends that the poet sees the past as the key to the regeneration of the world. In this reading, the past, an ever-new and renewable repository of wisdom, also holds a promise for Amans, who learns that he is an old man unfit to serve in Venus's court. Thus the author perceives Gower to offer a strong, responsive and balanced moral vision to an age seemingly victimised by change.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Every day is an anniversary of sorts, yet we choose to celebrate, memorialize, or mourn only a few. What about the other days of our lives, those that will never merit Silver, Gold, or Diamond, yet when added together-joy mingled with sorrow, heartbreak leavened by laughter-ultimately constitute this thing we call life These are The Unnumbered Anniversaries Kurt Olsson seeks to commemorate within these unflinching poems and pages. At heart, The Unnumbered Anniversaries is a testament to the ordinary, those fragments of time and place, of people and things, that distance and reflection somehow transform into the extraordinary. The empty soda can that doubled as an ashtray. The stray dog that shadowed you to school and back. The Willie Mays catch you made that summery afternoon. Relatable. Affecting. Witty. And scrubbed of all pretension. The Unnumbered Anniversaries might well change your idea of not just what poetry is, but all that poetry can be. Indeed, this is not a collection to be read once and set aside with a pleasant nod or two, but rather an experience you will return to with cherished frequency. As Olsson observes in his slyly subversive penultimate entry, 'At some point, you will thank God whether you believe or not.' Amen.…
