E-book Developing Writing

The goal of this book is to take the student from the mechanics of basic sentence writing to the ability to construct a simple paragraph. The vocabulary and the structures have been planned chapter by chapter, from simple to more complex, and the lessons build on each other. For this reason, the students will probably benefit the most if they do the exercises in each chapter in the order they a…

E-book The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson

Emily Dickinson, then thirty-one years old, was writing a professional man of letters to inqUIre whether her verses "breathed." Higginson was still living at Worcester, Massachusetts, where he had recently resigned his pastorate of a "free" church, and was begmning to establIsh a reputation as essayist and a lecturer in the cause of reforms. She dared bring herself to his attention because she …

E-book The Way Things Go

It wasn’t quite prayer but the more I recited its words the more incantatory power they assumed. “What can I say to you, dar-ling,” I repeated to myself, “When you ask me for help?” It was early on an otherwise ordinary weekend morning twelve or fifteen years ago. The Long Island Rail Road car speeding me out east, not fast enough, grooved a quiet rumble into the d…

E-book The Potrait of a Lady

Trying to recover here, for recognition, the germ of my idea, I see that it must have consisted not at all in any conceit of a "plot", nefarious name, in any flash, upon the fancy, of a set of relations, or in any one of those situations that, by a logic of their own, immediately fall, for the fabulist, into movement into a march or a rush, a patter of quick steps; but altogether in the sense o…

E-book Tuesdays with Morrie : An Old Man, A Young Man, and Life's Greatest Le…

Soon the cameras were rolling in front of the living room fireplace, with Koppel in his crisp blue suit and Morrie in his shaggy gray sweater. He had refused fancy clothes or makeup for this interview. His philosophy was that death should not be embarrassing; he was not about to powder its nose. Because Morrie sat in the wheelchair, the camera never caught his withered legs. And because he was …

E-book Academic Writing : From Paragraph to Essay

Brainstorming is a way of gathering ideas about a topic. Think of a storm; thousands of drops of rain, all coming down together. Now, imagine thousands of ideas raining down onto your paper. When you brainstorm, write down every idea that comes to you. Don't worry now about whether the ideas are good or silly, useful or not. You can decide that later. Right now, you are gathering as many ideas …

E-book The Craft of Poetry : Dialogues on Minimal Interpretation

As we gradually saw, there is more to the dialogue form of our expositions than we initially realized – something new, perhaps, in poetry criticism; we could call it dialogical poetics. We are accustomed to seeing all extended commentary on poetry as the vision of some individual consciousness – the more individual and “original,” the better. There is almost always a significant degree …

E-book Poems of Healing

Nurturing our mental health and well-being is more important than ever. United Nations personnel are committed to endlessly making a positive impact in our world. While this can be rewarding, it can take a toll on our mental health and well-being. As the Chair of the UN System Workplace Mental Health and Well-Being Strategy Implementation Board, I am proud of the work undertaken across the UN S…

E-Book Romantic Comedy

Sally Milz is a sketch writer for The Night Owls, a late-night live comedy show that airs every Saturday.

E-book How the Grinch Stole Christmas

The Grinch hated Christmas ! The whole Christmas season! Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. But I think that the most likely reason of all. May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.

E-book This is Me Letting You Go

This is a book that I wrote when I was heartbroken. I’d imagine that’s how many books get made. We lose something we love and it seems natural to try to reconstruct it mulling over memories, sorting through missteps, bleeding our expired hopes and habits onto paper, hoping some part of what we’ve loved will still be salvageable. If only I can make this pain pretty, we tell ourselves,…

E-Book The Arabian Nights

A medieval Middle-Eastern literary epic which tells the story of Scheherazade, a Sassanid Queen, who must relate a series of stories to her malevolent husband, the King, to delay her execution. The stories are told over a period of one thousand and one nights, and every night she ends the story with a suspenseful situation, forcing the King to keep her alive for another day. The individual stor…

Ebook A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

An extravagant but cleverly planned burlesque that works as a condemnation of Chivalry, one of Twain's chief aversions.

E-book Beowulf: A Translation

The Old English poem known in the modern era as Beowulf consists of some 3182 lines of alliterative verse. The poem is preserved on folios 129r to 198v of a unique and badly damaged Anglo-Saxon manuscript sometimes called the ‘Nowell Codex’ and now known by its shelf mark as the London, British Library, MS. Cotton Vitellius A.xv. The text was copied by two dif…

E-book The Castle of Otranto

Manfred, Prince of Otranto, had one son and one daughter: the latter, a most beautiful virgin, aged eighteen, was called Matilda. Conrad, the son, was three years younger, a homely youth, sickly, and of no promising disposition; yet he was the darling of his father, who never showed any symptoms of affection to Matilda. Manfred had contracted a marriage for his son with the Marquis of Vicenza�…

E-book The Norton Anthology of English Literature

She wrote political pamphlets in the 1790s, opposing Britain's declaration of war against France, defending democratic government and popular education, and campaigning for the repeal of the Test Acts that had long excluded Nonconformist Protestants (those who would not subscribe, as a "test" of their loyalty, to the thirty-nine Articles of the Established Church) from the public life of the na…

E-book One Great Family : Domestic Relationships in Samuel Richardson’s Novels

But that I may know with certainty how far we agree or differ, will you give me leave,for once, to be a saucy girl, and catechise my adopted papa? Though indeed I do notmean to do it saucily, but really and truly for my information. For when you left itto me to make the applications, inferences, and conclusions, from all the quotations,stories, and observations you produced, you left me a task …

E-book Moonbit

This collaboratively authored work, much like the object that has inspired it, is nonlinear and modular. It has been compiled together from several smaller component parts. We invite you to read this book accordingly. We have provided a series of experimental readings — just a few of what we be-lieve to be the numerous explorations of the creative possibilitie…

E-book The Book Or The Woods

art the forest & bare the trees. Make an efes. The Book of books may be a forest of woods, as the page is a clearing, the monster is a letter (for example, Y, who reads the leaves), a river is a mirror, the underworld is supernal, the portal is the shadow over the shades, efes are all about (as wings, as aisles, as the edge of the woods), ††† are trees,…

Those who travelled further into the world to discover its beauty. Those who were fascinated, amazed and …

E-book Foundation and Empire

Riose looked after his host’s departing figure, and his studied urbanity grew a bit uncertain at the edges. His education had been purely military; his experience likewise. He had, as the cliché has it, faced death many times; but always death of a very familiar and tangible nature. Consequently, there is no inconsistency in the fact that the idolized lion of the Twentieth Fleet felt chilled…

E-book The Poems of the Pearl Manuscript

Our intention has been to translate the poems into plain and unadorned prose, staying as close to the original as modern English idiom will allow, in order to reveal what may loosely be termed the ‘literal’ sense of the text. Readers approaching these poems from an acquaintance with Chaucer’s works will already be aware that one of the chief difficulties of Middle English for the modern r…

E-book What Literature Knows : Forays into Literary Knowledge Production

The preface to Jonathan Swift’s The Battle of the Books (1704) begins with a rather unconventional definition of a literary genre� Readers are informed that “Satyr is a sort of Glass, wherein Beholders do generally discover every body’s Face but their Own” (Tale 140)� The writer does not hesitate to add that it is probably this characteristic which is responsible for the genre’s c…

E-book Poems of 1890 : A Selection

In the same year he published his first Dutch poetry in the influential magazine De nieuwe gids (The New Guide). The journal, founded in 1885, was dominated at this period by the poet Willem Kloos (1859–1938), who used its pages to proclaim a radical aestheticism and advocate literature that was both non-sectarian and non-utilitarian. Poetry, Kloos famously asserted, was ‘the supremely indi…

E-book Snow White and Other Stories

Once upon a time in midwinter, when the snowflakes were falling like feathers from heaven, a queen sat sewing at her window, which had a frame of black ebony wood. As she sewed she looked up at the snow and pricked her finger with her needle. Three drops of blood fell into the snow. The red on the white looked so beautiful that she thought to herself, “If only I had a child as white as snow, …

E-book Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, and Other Stories

Once upon a time there was a gentleman who married, for his second wife, the proudest and most haughty woman that ever was seen. She had two daughters of her own, who were, indeed, exactly like her in all things. The gentleman had also a young daughter, of rare goodness and sweetness of temper, which she took from her mother, who was the best creature in the world. The wedding was scarcely over…

E-book First Anthology : Hera The Light of Women

The founder of Hera the Light of Women, Mrs. Marianela Mirpuri told me about her idea to have a Poetry Anthology and challenged me to write and coordinate the first anthology for Hera the Light of Women. My first feelings where if I should be able to do it and thank her for trusting me. Then doubts came into my spirit, as I was not used, since long time to write in English (besides Hera’s hym…

E-book Anthology of Classical Myth

Since the stories told by poets and other early writers represented the major evidence for the events for which the Greeks had no written records, historians could not escape considering the role of myth in history. One approach—represented here by Herodotus’ and Thucydides’ analyses of the Trojan, Persian, and Peloponnesian Wars—was to seek to distinguish where myth left off and histor…

E-book The Myths and Legends of Ancient Greece and Rome

Before entering upon the many strange beliefs of the ancient Greeks, and the extraordinary number of gods they worshipped, we must first consider what kind of beings these divinities were. In appearance, the gods were supposed to resemble mortals, whom, however, they far surpassed in beauty, grandeur, and strength; they were also more commanding in statue, height being considered by the Greeks …

E-book Poems of Guido Gezelle : A Billingual Anthology

Guido Gezelle, born in Bruges in 1830, left a varied œuvre as a man of letters, journalist, translator and populariser. But it is mainly as a poet that he occupies an illustrious position in the history of Dutch literature. He is undoubtedly the most innovative and original Flemish poet between 1680 and 1880. With his exceptional lyrical poetry he was some twenty years ahead of the renewal mov…
