One Hundred Lyrics and a Poem by Neil Tennant Pdf

Everything I've ever doneEverything I ever doEvery place I've ever beenEverywhere I'm going toOver a career that spans four decades and thirteen studio albums with Pet Shop Boys, Neil Tennant has consistently proved himself to be one of the most elegant and stylish of contemporary lyricists. Arranged alphabetically, One Hundred Lyrics and a Poem presents an overview of Neil Tennant's considerable achievement as a chronicler of modern life: the romance, the break-ups, the aspirations, the changing attitudes, the history, the politics, the pain. The landscape of Tennant's lyrics is recognisably British in character - restrained and preoccupied with the mundane, occasionally satirical, yet also yearning for escape and theatrical release. Often surprisingly revealing, this volume is contextualised by a personal commentary on each lyric and a fascinating introduction by the author which gives an insight into the process and genesis of writing. Flamboyant, understated, celebratory and elegiac, Neil Tennant's lyrics are a document of our times.

Sappho by Bliss Carman Pdf

Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics by Bliss Carman Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics is a poetry book by Canadian poet Bliss Driver, first published in 1904 in Boston by Carman LC Page's cousin and fellow Canadian poet Charles GD Roberts. Ots wrote an introductory article on the subject. "Sappho's Poetry" Sappho was an ancient Greek poet from the island of Lesbos who was included in the Greek canons of the nine poets of poetry. Most of his poetry, known and highly prized in antiquity, has been lost. But his reputation remains unwavering, supported by a fraction of the poem. Carman's method, as Roberts saw it. "Obviously this is imagining the lost song as it was discovered, and then translating it, because infinite translation is always persistent, even with the fluidity and freedom of work. It was a terrible job, as Robert admits, "as if sculptors today had to stand up respectfully and practice their craft and familiarity with the spirit, technique and atmosphere of history. Of him to revive A statue of Polyclitus or Praxiteles, which Ma Karman has been a success. "Written more or less concurrently with the love poem in Songs of the Sea Children, Sappho's new creation retains the shape of love from a woman's point of view. However, the sentiment that identifies Sappho is a Carman. Pure in sensitive and graceful pain. "

Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics: Large Print by Bliss Carman Pdf

For about two thousand five hundred years Sappho has held her place as not only the supreme poet of her sex, but the chief lyrist of all lyrists. Every one who reads acknowledges her fame, concedes her supremacy; but to all except poets and Hellenists her name is a vague and uncomprehended splendour, rising secure above a persistent mist of misconception.

One Hundred Middle English Lyrics by Robert David Stevick Pdf

Stevick's classic work remains the only text of its kind aimed at fostering the linguistic competence necessary to understand its poems in Middle English. The wide range of lyric poems in the book are normalized to a Chaucerian dialect. The introduction has been revised to take into account the scholarship and criticism published since the first edition appeared in 1964. It gives the background for the poetry, explains how and why the texts are normalized, and reviews significant critical scholarly studies of the works. Included is a section on morphology and grammar that introduces students to the language of the lyrics, and a section on the evolving meter of Middle English. "A fine piece of work. . . . Learned, wide-ranging, and judicious." -- John B. Friedman, author of The Monstrous Races in Medieval Art and Thought "An impressive collection. Stevick's decision to normalize the texts makes it highly accessible." -- Ralph Hanna III, University of California, Riverside

The Pet Shop Boys and the Political by Bodie A. Ashton Pdf

The Pet Shop Boys came of age at a time of deep socio-political tension. From the rise of sexual politics and awareness to Thatcherite neoliberalism and the Cold War, this book explores the cultural and political impact of the band and offers a fascinating window into the late 20th and early 21st centuries. An archetypal 'gay band', it shows how their overt queerness influenced generations of LGBTQIA+ music lovers and artists alike. Covering the full oeuvre of The Pet Shop boys; their albums, films, stage productions and collaborations, chapters in this collection show how their work is suffused with political commentary on the past and present covering themes as broad as queer identity, the HIV/AIDs epidemic, globalization and Brexit. It also places them within the context of their times and considers them as activists, authors, social commentators, political actors and personalities to better understand what influenced them. Bringing together a range of perspectives and disciplines, The Pet Shop Boys and the Political provides a unique and untapped insight into a formative pop band of the modern era that has mirrored and shaped society over the past forty years.
