Focusing on the works of W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound up to the 1930s, this study offers a critical reassessment of the influences shaping their poetry and political ideologies. It delves into the interplay between their literary contributions and the sociopolitical context of their time, making it a valuable resource for literature students seeking to understand the complexities of these influential poets.
This book proposes that Christian existentialism and, in particular, the work of Soren Kierkegaard, helped shape Spark's religious commitments and her artistic innovations.
The Wealth of the Nation' explores how Scotland has continued to assert its distinctive cultural difference despite the three-hundred-year union with England and the modern forces of globalisation.
