Exploring ten vital ethical lessons, this book draws on a diverse collection of English poems as reflections of the poets' insights into fundamental human experiences. It delves into themes such as forgiveness, centering, self-reliance, and the inevitability of death, presenting poetry as a means to navigate and understand these profound questions of life. Through this lens, readers are invited to engage with the complexities of morality and personal growth.
The study of the spatial dimensions of Language and literature defines a common ground for a number of important approaches to the contemporary study of English. In literary study, these include attention to the representation of architectural and urban space, the role of mapping and landscape description, and the function of the „bibliographic“ space of the printed text on the page. In linguistic study, space is interpreted here both geographically, in terms of regional variation, and as a fundamental dimension of referentiality that bears on the structure of Language. Historically, these essays range from the earliest period of the English Language to the present moment. Together, they show how scholars working in very different fields - from architectural theory to dialectology - can come together to help define an exciting new field of study.
