‎English Medieval Literature and its social Foundations. (2.Aufl.).‎

‎Warschau: PWN; London: Oxford University Press, 1967. XVI; 366 S. mit Abb., gebundene Ausgabe mit Umschl.‎

‎Umschlag etwas berieben u.m. kl. Randläsuren. - This book invites the reader to follow the rich development of English medieval literature from its earliest Anglo-Saxon origins down to the onset of a new age under the Tudors. It describes the various forms and types of literary expression in the periods covered: Old English lyric and epic, both secular and hagiographical; homiletic and other didactic texts in the course of the centuries; feudal romances both early and late; erotic and religious allegories; above all the multiple forms represented in the crowning work of Geoffrey Chaucer. Throughout, the literature is related to the changing social background, the transformations in church and state, the shifting class forces, the contacts with foreign cultures. Appreciation of aesthetic values is thus enriched by an understanding of the environments that created them. Originally written as an aid for continental university students, English Medieval Literature also provides valuable insights for general readers primarily interested in the literature of later periods.‎

‎Iliad of Broken Sentences. A novel by Rosemary Tonks.‎

‎Gambit Incorporated. Boston 1971. 207, (1) pages. Original cloth binding and an illustrated dustjacket. Good condition. 22x15 cm‎

‎* First american edition. Rare. Sehr selten! ---- Arabella's predicament is not without certain ironies. As hostess and hosuekeeper for her elegant and eminiently successful widowed father, she finds herself "stuck" in a luxurious home where she receives some of London's most alluring and influential people; and when she finally allows herself to fall in love, it is with a man who is "happily married" and whos avowed intentions toward her are anything but honerable. Committed to the glitter of fashionable Mayfair life, she is nonetheless intrigued by elements of Bohemia. And though money is nice, a smart new coat or hat always a ready consolation, her younger brother's letters from India (where he has fled in search of suffering and poetry) cause her to long for a world seemingly outside the range of her experiences or imaginings. ----- Rosemary Tonks war eine englische Dichterin und Autorin. Nachdem sie zwei Gedichtsammlungen, sechs Romane und Stücke in zahlreichen Medien veröffentlicht hatte, verschwand sie nach ihrer Bekehrung zum fundamentalistischen Christentum in den 1970er Jahren aus der Öffentlichkeit.(Quelle Wikipedia) --- Rosemary Tonks (17 October 1928 ? 15 April 2014) was an English poet and author. After publishing two poetry collections, six novels, and pieces in numerous media outlets, she disappeared from the public eye after her conversion to Fundamentalist Christianity in the 1970s; little was known about her life past that point, until her death. Rosemary Desmond Boswell Tonks was born 17 October 1928 in Gillingham, Kent, the only child of Gwendoline (née Verdi) and Desmond Tonks, a mechanical engineer. Desmond, who died of blackwater fever in Africa[where?] before Rosemary's birth, was the nephew of the surgeon and painter Henry Tonks, an official war artist on the Western Front during World War I and then professor of fine art at the Slade during the 1920s. Desmond's brother Myles was married to Gwendoline's sister Dorothy (the aunt who was later to provide Rosemary with refuge in Bournemouth, when Rosemary's life crisis had become unbearable alone). Tonks attended boarding school at Wentworth college in Bournemouth. Rosemary published children's stories while a teenager. In 1949, she married Michael Lightband (a mechanical engineer, and later a financier), and the couple moved to Karachi, where she began to write poetry. Attacks of paratyphoid, contracted in Calcutta, and of polio, contracted in Karachi, forced a return to England. She lived in Paris in 1952?53, before returning to London where she settled with her husband in Hampstead. They later divorced and lived several doors from each other for some years. Career: Tonks worked for the BBC, writing stories and reviewing poetry for the BBC European Service. She published poems in collections and The Observer, the New Statesman, Transatlantic Review, London Magazine, Encounter, and Poetry Review, she read on the BBC's Third Programme. She also wrote "poetic novels"[which?]. Her work appears in many anthologies, including Anthology of Twentieth-Century British and Irish Poetry (ed. Keith Tuma), Oxford Book of Twentieth Century English Verse, British Poetry since 1945, and The Firebox: Poetry in Britain and Ireland after 1945 (ed. Sean O'Brien). Tonks published two collections, Notes on Cafés and Bedrooms (Putnam, 1963) and Iliad of Broken Sentences (Bodley Head, 1967), and after both books went out of print following each publisher's decision to axe their poetry lists, she was discussing a selected edition of her work with John Moat and John Fairfax's Phoenix Press in Newbury from 1976 until 1980, when the project was abandoned following her conversion to a puritanical form of Christianity.[6] Little was known publicly about her subsequent life past that point. As Andrew Motion wrote in 2004, she "Disappeared! What happened? Because I admire her poems, I've been trying to find out for years... no trace of her seems to survive ? apart from the writing she left behind."[2] In the 30-minute BBC Radio 4 Lost Voices documentary, "The Poet Who Vanished", broadcast 29 March 2009, Brian Patten observed, from the literary world's perspective, she'd "evaporated into air like the Cheshire cat"; Tonks had disappeared from public view and was living a hermetic existence, refusing telephone and personal calls from friends, family and the media. Following her death in April 2014, Neil Astley published an obituary and then an article in the Guardian, followed by his introduction to the Bloodaxe collected edition of her poetry and selected prose, Bedouin of the London Evening, in which he revealed the background to her "disappearance", how she had "turned her back on the literary world after a series of personal tragedies and medical crises which made her question the value of literature and embark on a restless, self-torturing spiritual quest". Her mental and physical health deteriorated following an emergency operation on New Year's Day 1978 to save her eyesight which left her almost blind for the next few years, and in 1979 she moved to Bournemouth to recuperate. In 1980 she moved into a house behind the seafront where she lived alone for the next 33 years, using her former married name, Rosemary Lightband. In 1981 she made the decision to "confront her profession" and burned the manuscript of an unpublished novel. That October she travelled to Jerusalem and was baptised near the River Jordan on 17 October 1981, the day before her 53rd birthday. "Obliterating her former identity as the writer Rosemary Tonks, she dated her new life from that ?second birth?," according to Astley, and thereafter she never read any books apart from the Bible. Character of her poetry: Tonks's poems offer a stylised view of an urban literary subculture around 1960, full of hedonism and decadence. The poet seems to veer from the ennui of Charles Baudelaire to exuberant disbelief at modern civilisation. There are illicit love affairs in seedy hotels and scenes of café life across Europe and the Middle East; there are sage reflections on men who are shy with women. She often targets the pathetic pretensions of writers and intellectuals. Yet she is often buoyant and chatty, bemused rather than critical, even self-deprecating. She believed poetry should look good on a printed page as well as sound good when read: "There is an excitement for the eye in a poem on the page which is completely different from the ear's reaction". Of her style, she said "I have developed a visionary modern lyric, and, for it, an idiom in which I can write lyrically, colloquially, and dramatically. My subject is city life ? with its sofas, hotel corridors, cinemas, underworlds, cardboard suitcases, self-willed buses, banknotes, soapy bathrooms, newspaper-filled parks; and its anguish, its enraged excitement, its great lonely joys." Her poem, "The Sofas, Fogs and Cinemas" ends: ? All this sitting about in cafés to calm down Simply wears me out. And their idea of literature! The idiotic cut of the stanzas; the novels, full up, gross. I have lived it, and I know too much. My café nerves are breaking me With black, exhausting information. Novel: Writing novels in a highly personal style that at times approached the tone of Evelyn Waugh in its cynical observations of urban living, Tonks as a novelist had a mixed critical reception at best, although her critics admit that her grasp of the English language and her sense of London are sharp. Her novels are a kind of fictional autobiography in which she plays not only the leading role but one or two supporting roles as well. She includes incidents and experiences directly from her past, often with only a thin fictional veil to disguise them. Some critics felt this was a fault and labelled the autobiographical dimension of her writing "feminine" in a pejorative sense; others decided her directness was invigorating and showed the uniqueness of her voice, making for a lively, distinct fictional world. Whatever the verdict, Tonks? novels deal with aspects of her life up to 1972, when her last work was published. Her fiction, in particular, moved from a dissatisfaction with urban living found in both her collections of poetry and in satiric novels such as The Bloater and Businessmen as Lovers to a pronounced loathing of middle to upper-middle class materialism in her later work. Her distaste for materialism meant that Tonks also developed an interest in the symbolist movement, which eventually led her to a conception of spirituality as the only alternative to materialism. This embrace of what she called "the invisible world" may have ultimately led her to distrust the act of writing itself, and caused her to abandon writing as a career. Assessment of her work: Critics praised Tonks as a cosmopolitan poet of considerable innovation and originality. She has been described as one of the very few modern English poets who has genuinely tried to learn something from modern French poets such as Paul Éluard about symbolism and surrealism. Al Alvarez said Notes on Cafés and Bedrooms showed "an original sensibility in motion". Edward Lucie-Smith said "the movements of an individual awareness ? often rather self-conscious in its singularity ? supply the themes of most of her work." Daisy Goodwin commented on her poem, "Story of a Hotel Room", about infidelity: "This poem should be read by anyone about to embark on an affair thinking that it's just a fling. It is much harder than you know to separate sex from love."(Quelle Wikipedia)‎

‎* Einzige, anonym erschiene Ausgabe. Sehr selten. Very rare ! --- Sir John Sinclair, 1. Baronet (* 10. Mai 1754; ? 21. Dezember 1835) war ein schottischer Ökonom und Politiker. Er wurde in Thurso in der Grafschaft Caithness als ältester Sohn des George Sinclair von Ulbster geboren. Nach den Studienjahren an den Universitäten von Edinburgh und Glasgow sowie am Trinity College erhielt er seine Zulassung als Rechtsanwalt, hat diesen Beruf jedoch nie ausgeübt. Sinclair wurde am 14. Februar 1780 zum Baronet of Ulbster in the County of Caithness erhoben und wurde mehrmals als Abgeordneter ins britische Unterhaus entsandt: 1780?1784 für die Grafschaft Caithness, 1784?1790 für den Wahlbezirk Lostwithiel, 1790?1796 erneut für Caithness, 1797?1802 für Petersfield sowie von 1802?1806 und 1807?1811 wieder für Caithness. Er war Mitbegründer und erster Präsident des Board of Agriculture, aus dem später das des Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) hervorging. Sinclair war Mitglied der Royal Society of London und der Royal Society of Edinburgh. 1797 wurde er in die American Academy of Arts and Sciences gewählt. 1794 wurde er auswärtiges und 1812 Ehrenmitglied der Preußischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Als 1834 die Statistical Society of London (heute: Royal Statistical Society) gegründet wurde, war er im Alter von 80 Jahren deren ältestes Mitglied. In dem 21-bändigen Werk Statistical Account of Scotland war Sinclair der erste, der den Begriff Statistik in seiner heutigen Bedeutung des Sammelns und Auswertens von Daten benutzte.
