David Wallace's examination of the aims and literary affiliations of Boccaccio's early writings provides an indispensable preface to and context for an informed appraisal of Chaucer's usage of Boccaccio. Previous studies of the relationship between the work of the two poets have tended to consider Chaucer's borrowings without making a thorough study of the traditions which shaped the Italian writer's work. Wallace argues that Boccaccio was not primarily concerned with winning recognition at the Angevin court, but was chiefly concerned with fashioning an identity for himself as an illustrious vernacular author. Chaucer recognised that both the l>Filostrato/l> and l>Teseida/l> derived their basic narrative capabilities from popular tradition analogous to that of the English tail-rhyme romance. Following a detailed analysis of Chaucer's translation practice in l>Troilus and Criseyde/l>, Wallace concludes that it was Boccaccio's attempt to develop a narrative art occupying the middle ground between popular and illustrious, domestic and European traditions that Chaucer found so uniquely congenial and instructive.

Blake's Nostos establishes The Four Zoas, Blake's controversial, unfinished epic, as the culmination of the poet's mythos. Kathryn S. Freeman shows that, in its freedom to experiment with nontraditional narrative, this prophetic book is Blake's fullest representation of nondual vision as it coexists with the material world. Blake's scheme of consciousness eliminates the Enlightenment hierarchy of faculties in a structure centered around a nondual vision operating through and subsuming the fragmented world. The author draws on the analogue of Eastern philosophy to describe Blake's nondualism. According to this interpretation of Blake's epic, consciousness itself is the hero whose nostos is the apocalyptic return to wholeness from the multiple ruptures that comprise the fragmenting journey of Albion's dualistic dream. Blake's Nostos demonstrates that for each of the central elements of myth—causality, narratology, figuration, and teleology—Blake superimposes such dual and nondual perspectives as time and eternity as well as bounded space and infinity.

Antonio Negri, one of Italy's most influential and controversial contemporary philosophers, offers in this book a radical new interpretation of the nineteenth-century Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi. For Negri, Leopardi is not the bitter, idealistic individualist of conventional literary history, but rather a profoundly materialist thinker who sees human solidarity as the only possible solution to the catastrophes of history and politics. Negri traces Leopardi's resistance to the transcendental idealism of Kant and Hegel, with its emphasis on reason's power to resolve real antagonisms into abstract syntheses, and his gradual development of a sophisticated poetic materialism focused on the constructive power of the imagination and its "true illusions." Like Nietzsche (who admired him), Leopardi provides an alternative to modernity within modernity, expressing a force of rupture and recomposition—a uniquely Italian one—that is as relevant now as it was in the nineteenth century, and which connects to the theory of Empire as the political constitution of the present that Negri has elaborated in collaboration with Michael Hardt.

In the heart of a domed city, where the skyline glitters under artificial suns and every citizen wears a mask of contentment, lies a secret that could shatter the illusion of Elysium. Welcome to a world where advanced technology and sterile perfection govern every aspect of life, yet beneath this polished facade, shadows pulse with the whispers of suppressed truths. Enter Kaelin, a dedicated security agent whose unwavering loyalty to the regime has blinded him to the cracks forming in the utopian veneer. As he patrols the pristine streets of Elysium, he feels the weight of his duty but is haunted by a growing sense that something is amiss. The citizens appear blissfully ignorant, their lives meticulously curated by the enigmatic Director Mond, a figure whose omniscient gaze seems to penetrate the very essence of their beings. Yet, as Kaelin digs deeper, he uncovers unsettling anomalies that suggest not all is as it seems. At the center of this carefully orchestrated paradise is Aurora, a brilliant scientist whose groundbreaking research promises to revolutionize the very fabric of their society. But when Kaelin encounters her, he discovers that her work may harbor dark implications—secrets that could unravel the delicate balance of Elysium. As Kaelin is drawn into Aurora’s orbit, a forbidden alliance forms, igniting a spark of rebellion in his heart. Together, they venture into the hidden underbelly of the city, where the sterile perfection gives way to a labyrinth of deception and despair. In a world where truth and illusion are indistinguishable, Kaelin must confront his own beliefs and the chilling reality of the regime he serves. With each revelation, the stakes escalate, and the once-gleaming city reveals its monstrous undercurrents. As he grapples with his loyalty to Elysium and his burgeoning desire for freedom, he realizes that the cost of enlightenment may be far greater than he ever imagined. Elysium's Shadow is a gripping exploration of the human spirit in the face of oppression, weaving a tale that is both eerie and suspenseful. As Kaelin races against time to expose the hidden horrors lurking in his seemingly perfect world, readers will be left questioning: How far would you go to uncover the truth? In this high-stakes dystopia, the answers may lead to salvation—or destruction.

The book ‘Verse Geeta’ by Sukdeb Baral is on exclusive Philosophy of original Srimad-bhagavat Geeta, and in genre, a Philosophical Rhapsody in own style with zero blurriness or ambiguity. As an author, here my inquisitiveness has neither questioned of Sri Geeta nor scrutinized over it – just compiled It with fittest words with a research-look, keeping the subject-matter intact, and even 700 (Seven hundred) pairs of hymn in total in original Sanskrit Scripture also maintained in this English Verse Geeta, but in my own style, i.e. – a couplet of twelve syllabic line each (hexameter line) in epical format. I was very caring not to get the lines lengthened; I feel global emergency of purely a Verse Geeta in English - more reading-worthy and audible pleasantly with devotional understanding.

Sixty years after Understanding Media, Marshall McLuhan remains one of the best known and most influential intellectuals of the twentieth century. Far beyond academia, readers (and non-readers) recognize his coinages, such as ‘the Gutenberg era’, the ‘global village’ and ‘the medium is the message'. A literary scholar by profession, McLuhan was one of the first academics to recognize the new opportunities offered by radio and television to reach audiences beyond the readerships of scholarly journals. His talks and appearances ushered in public intellectual debate concerning the ‘electronic age’. Although his reputation waned in the 1970s, the recent making-available to the public of his extraordinary personal library of some six thousand books enables new kinds of analyses of McLuhan as a reader, thinker, and cultural force. The essays here focus not so much on his media theory per se as on the habits and practices that animated his reading, and on the larger questions of what reading and not reading mean. We don’t need to agree with everything McLuhan says to make valuable use of his work. New resources offer us an unprecedented opportunity to revisit one fallible human reader whose texts and ideas are good to think with (and against). This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal, Textual Practice.

For thousands of years, philosophers, theologians, and poets have tried to pierce through the veil of death to gaze with wonder, fear, and awe on the final and eternal state of the soul. Indeed, the four great epic poets of the Western tradition (Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Milton) structured their epics in part around a descent into the underworld that is both spiritual and physical, both allegorical and geographical. This book not only considers closely these epic journeys to the "other side," but explores the chain of influences that connects the poets to such writers as Plato, Cicero, St. John, St. Paul, Bunyan, Blake, and C. S. Lewis. Written in a narrative, "man of letters" style and complete with an annotated bibliography, a timeline, a who's who, and an extensive glossary of Jewish, Christian, and mythological terms, this user-friendly book will help readers understand how heaven and hell have been depicted for the last 3,000 years.
