  • A Political Biography of Daniel Defoeby P.N. Furbank; W.R. Owens

    Pickering & Chatto Publishers 2005; US$ 99.00

  • The Great War and Modern Memoryby Paul Fussell

    Oxford University Press, USA 2000; US$ 13.45

    The year 2000 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of The Great War and Modern Memory, winner of the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and recently named by the Modern Library one of the twentieth century's 100 Best Non-Fiction Books.

Exploring the work of Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves, Edmund Blunden, David Jones, Isaac Rosenberg, and Wilfred Owen, Fussell supplies contexts, both actual and literary, for those writers who most effectively... more...

    Hackett Publishing Company, Inc. 2011; US$ 7.95

    The Essential Metamorphoses , Stanley Lombardo's abridgment of his translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses, preserves the epic frame of the poem as a whole while offering the best-known tales in a rendering remarkable for its clarity, wit, and vigor. While making no pretense of offering an experience comparable to that of reading the whole of Ovid's self-styled history "from the world's first origins down to my own time," this practical and judicious selection of myths at the heart of Roman mythology and literature yet manages to relate many of the most fascinating episodes in that world—historical march toward the Age of Augustus—and is accompanied by an Introduction that deftly sets them in their... more...
