Synopsis A Tomb Guard Remembers by : Pasquale

A Tomb Guard Remembers, compiled by a former Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery, Pasquale Varallo, is a commemoration to the centennial of the Armistice of the Great War November 11, 2018 and the centennial of the laying of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The centennial of the reburial of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery is November 11, 2021. This anthology is a collection of some of the many poems and songs, which those men who fought and wrote about that conflagration (and the women who waited for them to come home again) have left us as part of their legacy. Poets from the English-speaking world like Joyce Kilmer (Rendezvous With Death) for one. Wilfred Owen (Dulce et Decorum Est) and Edgar Guest (Things That Make A Great Soldier) are two more. It is through their eyes we see this war. Included in this anthology will be works that glorify the soldiers who fought and died. It will also contain works that show the sad side and horror of war, the destruction of the lives who gave all. We see a changed attitude to war in some of our poets. Also, we hear from the mothers, wives, brothers and sisters. Humorous poems like The Guns of Verdun where the poet writes a conversation between the German guns and the French artillery. This work is geared toward anyone with an interest in the Tomb of the Unknown Solider, war history, as well as poetry in general.

Synopsis The Letters of T. S. Eliot Volume 6: 1932–1933 by : T. S. Eliot

Despairing of his volatile, unstable wife, T. S. Eliot, at 44, resolves to put an end to the torture of his eighteen-year marriage.He breaks free from September 1932 by becoming Norton Lecturer at Harvard. His lectures will be published as The Use of Poetry and the Use of Criticism (1933). He also delivers the Page-Barbour Lectures at Virginia (After Strange Gods, 1934). At Christmas he visits Emily Hale, to whom he is 'obviously devoted'. He gives talks all over - New York, California, Missouri, Minnesota, Chicago - and the letters describing encounters with F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edmund Wilson and Marianne Moore ('a real Gillette blade') brim with gossip. High points include the première at Vassar College of his comic melodrama Sweeney Agonistes (1932). The year 'was the happiest I can ever remember in my life . . . successful and amusing.'Returning home, he hides out in the country while making known to Vivien his decision to leave her. But he is exasperated when she buries herself in denial: she will not accept a Deed of Separation. The close of 1933 is lifted when Eliot 'breaks into Show Business'. He is commissioned to write a 'mammoth Pageant': The Rock. This collaborative enterprise will be the proving-ground for the choric triumph of Murder in the Cathedral (1935).

Synopsis The Chronology of American Literature by : Daniel S. Burt

If you are looking to brush up on your literary knowledge, check a favorite author's work, or see a year's bestsellers at a glance, The Chronology of American Literature is the perfect resource. At once an authoritative reference and an ideal browser's guide, this book outlines the indispensable information in America's rich literary past--from major publications to lesser-known gems--while also identifying larger trends along the literary timeline. Who wrote the first published book in America? When did Edgar Allan Poe achieve notoriety as a mystery writer? What was Hemingway's breakout title? With more than 8,000 works by 5,000 authors, The Chronology makes it easy to find answers to these questions and more. Authors and their works are grouped within each year by category: fiction and nonfiction; poems; drama; literary criticism; and publishing events. Short, concise entries describe an author's major works for a particular year while placing them within the larger context of that writer's career. The result is a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of some of America's most prominent writers. Perhaps most important, The Chronology offers an invaluable line through our literary past, tying literature to the American experience--war and peace, boom and bust, and reaction to social change. You'll find everything here from Benjamin Franklin's "Experiments and Observations on Electricity," to Davy Crockett's first memoir; from Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" to Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome; from meditations by James Weldon Johnson and James Agee to poetry by Elizabeth Bishop. Also included here are seminal works by authors such as Rachel Carson, Toni Morrison, John Updike, and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. Lavishly illustrated--and rounded out with handy bestseller lists throughout the twentieth century, lists of literary awards and prizes, and authors' birth and death dates--The Chronology of American Literature belongs on the shelf of every bibliophile and literary enthusiast. It is the essential link to our literary past and present.
