FICTION-SCIENCE FICTION

A lighthearted tour of the developmental synergies of life throughout the course of a single day touches on a broad variety of cultural and natural topics, from the color of the sky and the course of the sun to the iconography of prehistoric Egyptian sculpture and the circadian rhythms of Japanese moon imagery. By the author of Adam's Navel. Reprint.

The essential work on Romanticism, revised and condensed for student convenience Standing as the essential work on Romanticism, Duncan Wu’s Romanticism: An Anthology has been appreciated by thousands of literature students and their teachers across the globe since its first appearance in 1994. This Fifth Edition has been revised to reduce the size of the book and the burden of carrying it around a university campus. It includes the six canonical authors: Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, Byron, and Shelley. The Fourth Edition of the anthology, with complete and uncut texts of a wealth of Romantic authors, is available to all readers of the Fifth Edition via online access. Authors are introduced successively by their dates of birth; works are placed in order of composition where known and, when not known, by date of publication. Except for works in dialect or in which archaic effects were deliberately sought, punctuation and orthography are normalized, pervasive initial capitals and italics removed, and contractions expanded except where they are of metrical significance. Texts are edited for this volume from both manuscript and early printed sources. Romanticism: An Anthology contains everything a teacher needs for full coverage of the canonical poets, with illustrations and a chronological timeline to provide readers with important historical context.
