A little about the author: Lascelles Abercrombie, FBA (9 January 1881 – 27 October 1938)[1] was a British poet and literary critic, one of the "Dymock Poets". After World War I, he worked as a professor of English literature at various English universities, writing mainly on literary theory. Biography Abercrombie was born in Ashton upon Mersey, Sale, Cheshire.[2] He was educated at Malvern College,[3] and Owens College, Manchester.[1] Before the First World War he lived for a time at Dymock in Gloucestershire, part of a community of poets including Robert Frost and frequently visited by Rupert Brooke and Edward Thomas. The Dymock poets were included among the "Georgian Poets", and Abercrombie's poetry was included in four of the five volumes of Georgian Poetry (edited by Edward Marsh, 1912-1922). During the pre-war years, he earned his living proofreading books and began to write poetry. His first book, Interludes and Poems (1908), was followed by Mary and the Bramble (1910) and the play Deborah, and later by Emblems of Love (1912) and Speculative Dialogues (1913). His critical works include An Essay Towards a Theory of Art (1922) and Poetry, Its Music and Meaning (1932). Collected Poems (1930) was followed by The Sale of St. Thomas (1930), a dramatic poem.[1] During World War I, he served as an ordnance examiner, after which he was appointed to the first professorship of poetry at the University of Liverpool.[1] In 1922 he was appointed Professor of English at the University of Leeds in preference to J. R. R. Tolkien, with whom he shared, as author of The Epic (1914), a professional interest in heroic poetry.[4] In 1929 he moved to the University of London, and in 1935 to the prestigious Goldsmiths' Readership at the University of Oxford, [2] where he was elected a Fellow of Merton College.[5] He wrote a number of works on the nature of poetry, including The Idea of Great Poetry (1925) and Romanticism (1926). He published several volumes of original verse, largely metaphysical poems in dramatic form, and several verse pieces. Abercrombie also contributed to Georgian poetry, and several of his verse plays appeared in New Numbers (1914).[6] His poems and plays were collected in 'Poems' (1930).[2][7] Lascelles Abercrombie suffered in his later years from severe diabetes and died in London in 1938, aged 57.[1] At the end of the Second World War, it emerged that, despite his death, Abercrombie's name had been mistakenly included in the "Black Book" or Sonderfahndungsliste G.B. list of Britons who would be arrested in the event of a Nazi invasion of Britain.[8] Poetry and Plays Abercrombie's poetry consists largely of long poems in blank verse, mostly in dramatic form. They treat the extremes of imagined rather than actual experience, from ecstasy to anguish and malice, with little in between, in verses full of sharp, jewel-like imagery and generally robust in sound and meter. Admired for a time by good judges such as Charles Williams, Oliver Elton and Una Ellis-Fermor, and respected by his fellow 'Georgian' poets, it was never popular and, by the 1930s, was no longer what readers were looking for in modern verse. . His 1922 'Four Short Plays' fared better and still receive some attention, particularly 'The Staircase', because of its more realistic characters and settings. They compare favorably with poetic pieces by other Georgian poets such as John Drinkwater and John Masefield. Files A collection of literary and other Abercrombie-related manuscripts is held by Special Collections at the Brotherton Library at the University of Leeds.[12] The collection contains drafts of many of Abercrombie's own publications and literary material; lecture notes, including those from his own lectures and some notes taken from the lectures of others, and a printed order of service for his memorial service in 1938.[13] The Brotherton Library Special Collections also holds correspondence relating to Lascelles Abercrombie and his family.[14] Consisting of 105 letters, the collection contains letters of condolence to Catherine and Ralph Abercrombie on the death of Lascelles, as well as letters from the Abercrombie family from various correspondents, most notably to Ralph Abercrombie.

Um pouco sobre o autor: Lascelles Abercrombie, FBA (9 de janeiro de 1881 - 27 de outubro de 1938) [1] foi um poeta e crítico literário britânico, um dos "poetas Dymock". Após a Primeira Guerra Mundial, ele trabalhou como professor de literatura inglesa em várias universidades inglesas, escrevendo principalmente sobre a teoria da literatura. Biografia Abercrombie nasceu em Ashton upon Mersey, Sale, Cheshire.[2] Ele foi educado no Malvern College,[3] e no Owens College, Manchester.[1] Antes da Primeira Guerra Mundial, ele viveu por um tempo em Dymock em Gloucestershire, parte de uma comunidade de poetas, incluindo Robert Frost, e frequentemente visitado por Rupert Brooke e Edward Thomas. Os poetas Dymock foram incluídos entre os "poetas georgianos", e a poesia de Abercrombie foi incluída em quatro dos cinco volumes de Georgian Poetry (editado por Edward Marsh, 1912-1922). Durante os anos pré-guerra, ele ganhava a vida revisando livros e começou a escrever poesia. Seu primeiro livro, Interludes and Poems (1908), foi seguido por Mary and the Bramble (1910) e a peça Deborah, e mais tarde por Emblems of Love (1912) e Speculative Dialogues (1913). Seus trabalhos críticos incluem An Essay Towards a Theory of Art (1922) e Poetry, Its Music and Meaning (1932). Collected Poems (1930) foi seguido por The Sale of St. Thomas (1930), um poema dramático.[1] Durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial, ele serviu como examinador de munições, após o que foi indicado para a primeira cátedra de poesia na Universidade de Liverpool.[1] Em 1922 foi nomeado professor de inglês na Universidade de Leeds em preferência a J. R. R. Tolkien, com quem compartilhou, como autor de The Epic (1914), um interesse profissional pela poesia heróica.[4] Em 1929 mudou-se para a Universidade de Londres e, em 1935, para o prestigiado Goldsmiths' Readership na Universidade de Oxford,[2] onde foi eleito membro do Merton College.[5] Ele escreveu uma série de obras sobre a natureza da poesia, incluindo The Idea of Great Poetry (1925) e Romanticism (1926). Ele publicou vários volumes de versos originais, poemas em grande parte metafísicos em forma dramática e várias peças de versos. Abercrombie também contribuiu para a poesia georgiana e várias de suas peças em versos apareceram em New Numbers (1914).[6] Seus poemas e peças foram reunidos em 'Poems' (1930).[2][7] Lascelles Abercrombie sofreu em seus últimos anos de diabetes grave e morreu em Londres em 1938, aos 57 anos.[1] No final da Segunda Guerra Mundial, descobriu-se que, apesar de sua morte, o nome de Abercrombie havia sido incluído por engano no "Livro Negro" ou Sonderfahndungsliste G.B. lista de britânicos que seriam presos no caso de uma invasão nazista da Grã-Bretanha.[8] Poesia e Peças A poesia de Abercrombie consiste em grande parte de longos poemas em verso branco, principalmente em forma dramática. Eles tratam os extremos da experiência imaginada em vez da real, do êxtase à angústia e malícia, com pouco entre eles, em versos cheios de imagens nítidas e semelhantes a joias e geralmente robustos em som e métrica. Admirado por um tempo por bons juízes como Charles Williams, Oliver Elton e Una Ellis-Fermor, e respeitado por seus colegas poetas 'georgianos', nunca foi popular e, na década de 1930, não correspondia mais ao que os leitores buscavam no verso moderno. Suas 'Quatro peças curtas' de 1922 se saíram melhor e ainda recebem alguma atenção, particularmente 'The Staircase', por causa de seus personagens e cenários mais realistas. Eles se comparam favoravelmente às peças poéticas de outros poetas georgianos, como John Drinkwater e John Masefield. Arquivos Uma coleção de manuscritos literários e outros relacionados a Abercrombie é mantida por Coleções Especiais na Biblioteca Brotherton na Universidade de Leeds.[12] A coleção contém rascunhos de muitas das próprias publicações e material literário da Abercrombie; notas de palestras, incluindo as de suas próprias palestras e algumas notas tiradas das palestras de outros, e uma ordem de serviço impressa para seu serviço memorial em 1938.[13] As Coleções Especiais da Biblioteca de Brotherton também mantêm correspondência relacionada a Lascelles Abercrombie e sua família.[14] Composta por 105 cartas, a coleção contém cartas de condolências a Catherine e Ralph Abercrombie pela morte de Lascelles, bem como cartas da família Abercrombie de vários correspondentes, principalmente para Ralph Abercrombie.

A little about the author: Isabella Valancy Crawford (December 25, 1846 – February 12, 1887) was an Irish-born Canadian author and poet. She was one of the first Canadians to make a living as a freelance writer. "Crawford is increasingly being seen as Canada's first great poet." [1] She is the author of "Malcolm's Katie", a poem that achieved "a central place in the canon of 19th-century Canadian poetry". Crawford was a prolific writer. "For the most part, Crawford's prose followed the serial fashion of the day." [5] His magazine writing "displays a deft and energetic use of literary conventions popularized by Dickens, such as twins and doubles, mysterious infant disappearances, stony heartfelt fathers, sacrificial daughters, lost wills and inheritances, scenes of recognition, and, to cite one of its titles, 'A Royal Restitution.'"[12] As a whole, however, "it was a gothic-romantic fiction formula.'"[5] It is her poetry that lasts. Just two years after her death, W.D. Lighthall included generous selections from his book in his groundbreaking 1889 anthology Songs of the Great Dominion, bringing it to a wider audience. "In the 20th century, critics gave the work increasing respect and appreciation." [5] "Crawford's Collected Poems were edited (Toronto 1905) by J.W. Garvin, with an introduction by Ethelwyn Wetherald," a popular Canadian poet. [8] Wetherald called Crawford "purely a genius, not a craftswoman, and a genius who has patience enough to be an artist". In his 1916 anthology Canadian Poets, Garvin claimed that Crawford was "one of the greatest female poets". [6] The poet Katherine Hale, Garvin's wife, published a volume on Isabella Valancy Crawford in the Makers of Canada series of the 1920s. [1] All of this helped Crawford's poetry become more widely known. A "serious critical appraisal began in the mid-1940s with AJM Smith, Northrop Frye and EK Brown, who called her 'the only female Canadian poet of real importance in the past century'." [1] "Recognition of Isabella Valancy Crawford's extraordinary mythopoetic power, and her structural use of imagery, came ... in James Reaney's lecture 'Isabella Valancy Crawford' in Our Living Tradition (series 3, 1959)."[12] So a "renewed interest in Crawford resulted in the publication of forgotten manuscripts and critical articles" in the 1970s. [7] "A reprint of the collected poems in 1972, with an introduction by poet James Reaney, made Crawford's work generally available; six of his tales, edited by Penny Petrone, appeared in 1975; and in 1977 Borealis Press published a book of fairy stories and a long unfinished poem, 'Hugh and Ion.'."[5] Crawford wrote a wide variety of poems, from the Walter Scott doggerel (pun intended) of "Love Me, Love My Dog", to the eerie mysticism of "The Camp of Souls" [13] to the eroticism of The Lily Cama. [14] But it is mainly Crawford's "long narrative poems [that] have received particular attention". [7] "Old Spookses' Pass" [15] is a poem in dialect, set in the Rocky Mountains, about a dreamlike vision of a cattle stampede at midnight toward a black abyss that is stilled by a revolving lasso; "The helot" makes use of the Spartan practice of intoxicating their helots to teach their own children not to drink, as the starting point for a highly incantatory and hypnotic poem that ends in possession and Bacchic death; and "Gisli the Chieftain" fuses mythical elements such as the Russian goddess of spring Lada and the Icelandic Brynhild into a narrative of love, betrayal, murder and reconciliation. These poems follow a pattern of portraying the world as a battleground of opposites - light and dark, good and evil - reconciled by sacrificial love.

Um pouco sobre a autora: Isabella Valancy Crawford (25 de dezembro de 1846 - 12 de fevereiro de 1887) foi uma escritora e poetisa canadense nascida na Irlanda. Ela foi uma das primeiras canadenses a ganhar a vida como escritora freelance. "Crawford está cada vez mais sendo visto como a primeira grande poeta do Canadá." [1] Ela é a autora de "Malcolm's Katie", um poema que alcançou "um lugar central no cânone da poesia canadense do século XIX". Crawford foi uma escritora prolífica. "Em sua maior parte, a prosa de Crawford seguia a moda do folhetim da época." [5] Sua escrita para revistas "mostra um uso hábil e enérgico de convenções literárias popularizadas por Dickens, como gêmeos e duplos, misteriosos desaparecimentos infantis, pedregoso pais sinceros, filhas sacrificais, testamentos e heranças perdidas, cenas de reconhecimento e, para citar um de seus títulos, 'Uma restituição real'. "[12] Como um todo, porém," era uma fórmula de ficção romântico-gótica. '"[5] É sua poesia que perdura. Apenas dois anos após sua morte, W.D. Lighthall incluiu generosas seleções de seu livro em sua antologia inovadora de 1889, Songs of the Great Dominion, levando-o a um público mais amplo. "No século 20, os críticos deram à obra um respeito e uma apreciação cada vez maiores." [5] "Os Poemas Coletados de Crawford foram editados (Toronto 1905) por J.W. Garvin, com uma introdução de Ethelwyn Wetherald," um poeta canadense popular. [8] Wetherald chamou Crawford de "puramente um gênio, não uma artesã, e um gênio que tem paciência suficiente para ser um artista". Em sua antologia de 1916, Canadian Poets, Garvin afirmou que Crawford era "uma das maiores poetisas". [6] A poetisa Katherine Hale, esposa de Garvin, publicou um volume sobre Isabella Valancy Crawford na série Makers of Canada dos anos 1920. [1 ] Tudo isso ajudou a poesia de Crawford a se tornar mais amplamente conhecida. Uma "avaliação crítica séria começou em meados da década de 1940 com AJM Smith, Northrop Frye e EK Brown, que a chamou de 'a única poetisa canadense de real importância no século passado'." [1] "Reconhecimento de Isabella Valancy Crawford's extraordinário poder mitopoético, e seu uso estrutural de imagens, veio ... na palestra de James Reaney 'Isabella Valancy Crawford' em Nossa tradição viva (série 3, 1959). "[12] Então um" interesse renovado em Crawford resultou na publicação de manuscritos esquecidos e artigos críticos "na década de 1970. [7] "Uma reimpressão dos poemas coletados em 1972, com uma introdução do poeta James Reaney, tornou o trabalho de Crawford geralmente disponível; seis de seus contos, editados por Penny Petrone, apareceram em 1975; e em 1977 a Borealis Press publicou um livro de fadas histórias e um longo poema inacabado, 'Hugh and Ion.'. "[5] Crawford escreveu uma grande variedade de poemas, desde o doggerel de Walter Scott (trocadilho intencional) de "Love Me, Love My Dog", ao misterioso misticismo de "The Camp of Souls" [13] ao erotismo de The Lily Cama. [14] Mas são principalmente os "longos poemas narrativos [que] têm recebido atenção particular" de Crawford. [7] "Old Spookses 'Pass" [15] é um poema em dialeto, ambientado nas Montanhas Rochosas, sobre uma visão onírica de uma debandada de gado à meia-noite em direção a um abismo negro que é acalmado por um laço giratório; "O hilota" faz uso da prática espartana de intoxicar seus hilotas para ensinar seus próprios filhos a não beber, como ponto de partida para um poema altamente encantatório e hipnótico que termina em possessão e morte báquica; e "Gisli the Chieftain" funde elementos míticos, como a deusa russa da primavera Lada e a Brynhild islandesa, em uma narrativa de amor, traição, assassinato e reconciliação. Esses poemas seguem um padrão de retratar o mundo como um campo de batalha de opostos - claro e escuro, bom e mal - reconciliado por amor sacrificial.

About the author: One of his earliest biographers was Manuel Pereira Rabelo.[4] Gregório de Matos was born into a wealthy family of construction contractors and administrative employees (his father was Portuguese, born in Guimarães). Like all Brazilians of his time, his nationality was Portuguese, as Brazil would only become independent in the 19th century.[5] All citizens born before independence were Luso-Brazilians.[5] In 1642, he studied under Senador Canedo at the Jesuit College in Bahia. He continued his studies in Lisbon in 1650 and, in 1652, at the University of Coimbra, where he graduated in canons, in 1661. In 1663 he was appointed judge of outside Alcácer do Sal, not without first certifying that he was "pure blood". , as determined by the legal norms of the time.[6] On January 27, 1668, he represented Bahia at the Cortes of Lisbon. In 1672, the Senate of the Chamber of Bahia granted him the position of procurator. On January 20, 1674, he was once again Bahia's representative at the Cortes. He was, however, removed from his position as prosecutor. He returned to Brazil in 1679, appointed by Archbishop Gaspar Barata de Mendonça, judge of the Ecclesiastical Relation of Bahia. In 1682, D. Pedro II, king of Portugal, appointed Gregório de Matos as chief treasurer of the Cathedral, a year after he had taken minor orders. In Portugal he had already gained a reputation as a satirical poet and improviser.[7] He was removed from office by the new archbishop, Friar João da Madre de Deus, for not wanting to wear a cassock or accept the imposition of higher orders, in order to be fit for the functions he had been entrusted with. He then began to satirize the customs of the people of all Bahian social classes (which he would call "infernal scoundrel") or the nobles (nicknamed "caramurus" [4]). He develops a corrosive, erotic (almost or even pornographic) poetry, despite having also walked along more lyrical and even sacred paths. (Source: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg%C3%B3rio_de_Matos) Title page of the 1775 edition of poems by Gregório de Matos Among his friends we will find, for example, the Portuguese poet Tomás Pinto Brandão.[6] In 1685 the ecclesiastical prosecutor of Bahia denounced their free customs to the court of the Inquisition. He was accused, for example, of defaming Jesus Christ and of not showing reverence by taking his cap off his head when passing through a procession. The indictment was not followed up. However, enmities grew in direct relation to the poems he created. In 1694, accused by several sides (mainly by the governor Antônio Luís Gonçalves da Câmara Coutinho) and running the risk of being assassinated, he was deported to Angola. The condemnation considered lighter is attributed to the friend and protector D. João de Lencastre, then governor of Bahia. It is said that Lencastre kept a public book in which Gregório's poems were copied.[4] As a reward for helping the local government fight a military conspiracy, he was allowed to return to Brazil, albeit not allowed to return to Bahia. He died in Recife, victimized by a fever contracted in Angola.[5] Nickname The nickname mouth of hell was given to Gregory for his boldness in criticizing the Catholic Church, often attacking priests and nuns. For this reason, among others mentioned in his biography, such as his pornographic poetry, which made Gregório a poet considered "rebel" who, despite being a classic, today many still consider him a cursed poet, he becomes the first of Brazil that we could, in a certain way, define in this way.[8] ....................... Sobre um Autor: Um de seus mais antigos biógrafos foi Manuel Pereira Rabelo.[4] Gregório de Matos nasceu numa família abastada, de empreiteiros de obras e funcionários administrativos (seu pai era português, natural de Guimarães). Assim como todos os brasileiros de sua época, sua nacionalidade era portuguesa, pois o Brasil só se tornaria independente no século XIX.[5] Todos os cidadãos nascidos antes da independência eram luso-brasileiros.[5] Em 1642, estudou em Senador Canedo no Colégio dos Jesuítas, na Bahia. Continuou os seus estudos em Lisboa em 1650 e, em 1652, na Universidade de Coimbra, onde se formou em cânones, em 1661. Em 1663 foi nomeado juiz de fora de Alcácer do Sal, não sem antes atestar que era "puro de sangue", como determinavam as normas jurídicas da época.[6] Em 27 de janeiro de 1668, representou a Bahia nas Cortes de Lisboa. Em 1672 o Senado da Câmara da Bahia outorgou-lhe o cargo de procurador. A 20 de janeiro de 1674 foi novamente representante da Bahia nas cortes. Foi, contudo, destituído do cargo de procurador. Voltou ao Brasil em 1679, nomeado pelo arcebispo Gaspar Barata de Mendonça, desembargador da Relação Eclesiástica da Bahia. Em 1682, D. Pedro II, rei de Portugal, nomeou Gregório de Matos como tesoureiro-mor da Sé, um ano depois de ter tomado ordens menores. Em Portugal já ganhara a reputação de poeta satírico e improvisador.[7] Foi destituído dos cargos pelo novo arcebispo, frei João da Madre de Deus, por não querer usar batina nem aceitar a imposição das ordens maiores, de forma a estar apto para as funções a que tinha sido incumbido. Começou então a satirizar os costumes do povo de todas as classes sociais baianas (a que chamará "canalha infernal") ou aos nobres (apelidados de "caramurus"[4]). Desenvolve uma poesia corrosiva, erótica (quase ou mesmo pornográfica), apesar de também ter andado por caminhos mais líricos e mesmo sagrados. (Fonte: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg%C3%B3rio_de_Matos) Frontispício de edição de 1775 dos poemas de Gregório de Matos Entre os seus amigos encontraremos, por exemplo, o poeta português Tomás Pinto Brandão.[6] Em 1685 o promotor eclesiástico da Bahia denunciou os seus costumes livres ao tribunal da inquisição. Ele foi acusado, por exemplo, de difamar Jesus Cristo e de não mostrar reverência, tirando o barrete da cabeça ao passar por uma procissão. A acusação não teve seguimento. Entretanto, as inimizades cresceram em relação direta com os poemas que vai criando. Em 1694, acusado por vários lados (principalmente por parte do governador Antônio Luís Gonçalves da Câmara Coutinho) e correndo o risco de ser assassinado, é deportado para Angola. A condenação tida como mais leve é atribuída ao amigo e protetor D. João de Lencastre, então governador da Bahia. Dizem que Lencastre mantinha livro público no qual eram copiadas as poesias de Gregório.[4] Como recompensa por ter ajudado o governo local a combater uma conspiração militar, recebeu a permissão de voltar ao Brasil, ainda que sem permissão de voltar à Bahia. Morreu em Recife, vitimado por uma febre contraída em Angola.[5] Alcunha A alcunha boca do inferno foi dada a Gregório por sua ousadia em criticar a Igreja Católica, muitas vezes atacando padres e freiras. Por tal motivo, entre outros citados na sua biografia, como sua poesia pornográfica, os quais fizeram de Gregório um poeta considerado "rebelde" que, apesar de ser um clássico, hoje ainda muitos consideram também um poeta maldito, ele se torna o primeiro poeta do Brasil que poderíamos, de certo modo, definir desta forma.[8]

Percy Bysshe Shelley (Field Place, Horsham, 4 August 1792 – Ligure Sea, Gulf of Spezia, 8 July 1822) was one of the most important English Romantic poets. Shelley is famous for works such as Ozymandias, Ode to the West Wind, To a Skylark, and The Masque of Anarchy, which are among the most popular and critically acclaimed English poems. His greatest work, however, were the long poems, among them Prometheus Unbound, Alastor, or The Spirit of Solitude, Adonaïs, The Revolt of Islam, and the unfinished The Triumph of Life. The Cenci (1819) and Prometheus Unbound (1820) are dramatic plays in 5 and 4 acts respectively. He also wrote the Gothic romances Zastrozzi (1810) and St. Irvyne (1811) and the tales The Assassins (1814) and The Coliseum (1817). Shelley was famous for his association with John Keats and Lord Byron. Novelist Mary Shelley was his second wife. One of England's most significant Romantic poets.

A little about the author: Alexander Pope (21 May 1688, London – 30 May 1744, Twickenham, now part of London) was one of the greatest British poets of the 18th century.[1] Famous for his translation of Homer. He is the second most written quoter in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, after Shakespeare.[2] His youth was dotted with setbacks, a consequence of being the son of a Catholic merchant. He was banned from attending schools and universities, but despite this, he educated himself with care. His illnesses and physical deformity made him a complicated character. Pope's main contribution was in the essays and verses, in which he expounds his aesthetic and philosophical ideas. They are philosophical or didactic poems, such as Essay on Criticism, a work of neoclassical doctrine, written at the age of 23, in which he defends his views on true poetry, and Essay on Man (Essay on Man) ( 1733–34), in which he discusses whether or not it is possible to reconcile the evils of this world with a belief in a just and merciful creator. He also composed a satire, Dunciad, in which the poet declares the throne of turpitude, annoyance and stupidity vacant and proposes the names of his enemies to occupy them. It was as a satirist and moralist that he characterized himself in the second part of his life, when he wrote The Rape of the Lock (The Rape of the Lock) in which he ridicules the extreme delicacy of the court of England. For many, Alexander Pope was the most brilliant satirist of the Augustan era. Within satirical literature he was the natural successor of John Dryden and also the first English poet to achieve international fame.

Um pouco sobre o autor: Alexander Pope (21 de maio de 1688, Londres – 30 de maio de 1744, Twickenham, hoje parte de Londres) foi um dos maiores poetas britânicos do século XVIII.[1] Famoso por sua tradução de Homero. É o segundo mais citador escrito na obra The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, depois de Shakespeare.[2] Sua mocidade foi pontilhada de contratempos, consequência de ser filho de um comerciante católico. Foi proibido de frequentar escolas e universidades, mas, apesar disso, educou-se com esmero. Suas doenças e a deformidade física fizeram dele um caráter complicado. A principal contribuição de Pope foi nos ensaios e versos, nos quais expõe suas idéias estéticas e filosóficas. São poemas filosóficos ou didáticos, como Essay on Criticism (Ensaio sobre a crítica), obra de doutrina neoclássica, escrita aos 23 anos, na qual defende seus pontos de vista sobre a verdadeira poesia, e Essay on Man (Ensaio sobre o Homem) (1733–34), na qual discute se é ou não possível reconciliar os males deste mundo com a crença no criador justo e misericordioso. Compôs também uma sátira, Dunciad, em que o poeta declara vago o trono da torpeza, do aborrecimento e da estupidez e propõe o nome de seus inimigos para ocupá-los. Foi como satírico e moralista que se caracterizou na segunda parte de sua vida, quando escreveu The Rape of the Lock (O rapto da Madeixa) em que ridiculariza a extrema delicadeza da corte da Inglaterra.

A little about the author: Anne was born in Northampton, England, in 1612, the daughter of Thomas Dudley, a butler to the Earl of Lincoln, and Dorothy Yorke.[5] Due to her family's position, she grew up in cultured circumstances and was a well-educated woman for her time, being tutored in history, several languages and literature. At sixteen she married Simon Bradstreet. Anne's father and husband would later serve as governors of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Anne and Simon, along with Anne's parents, emigrated to America aboard the Arbella as part of the Winthrop Fleet of Puritan emigrants in 1630.[6] She was first on American soil on June 14, 1630, in what is now Pioneer Village (Salem, Massachusetts) with Simon, her parents, and other travelers as part of the Puritan migration to New England (1620-1640). Due to the illness and famine of Gov. John Endecott and other villagers, their stay was very brief. Most immediately moved south along the coast to Charlestown, Massachusetts for another short stay before moving south along the Charles River to found "the city on the hill", Boston, Massachusetts. The Bradstreet family soon moved again, this time to what is now Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1632, Anne had her first child, Samuel, in Newe Towne, as it was then called. Despite health problems, she had eight children and achieved a comfortable social position. Having previously been afflicted with smallpox as a teenager in England, Anne once again fell victim to the disease as paralysis overtook her joints in later years. In the early 1640s, Simon once again pressured his wife, pregnant with their sixth child, to move for a sixth time, from Ipswich, Massachusetts, to Andover Parish. North Andover is that original town founded in 1646 by the Stevens, Osgood, Johnson, Farnum, Barker and Bradstreet families, among others. Anne and her family resided in the Old Center of North Andover, Massachusetts. They never lived in what is now known as "Andover" to the south. Both Anne's father and her husband were instrumental in founding Harvard University in 1636. Two of her sons were graduates, Samuel (Class of 1653) and Simon (Class of 1660). In October 1997, the Harvard community dedicated a gate in her memory as the first published female poet in the United States (see last paragraph below). Bradstreet Gate is located next to Canaday Hall, Harvard Yard's newest dormitory. In 1650, the Rev. John Woodbridge had The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America composed of "A Gentlewoman from Those Parts" published in London, making Anne the first female poet ever published in England and the New World. On July 10, 1666, the North Andover family home burned down (see "Works" below) in a fire that left the Bradstreets homeless with few personal belongings. By this time, Anne's health was slowly declining. She suffered from tuberculosis and had to deal with the loss of loved ones. But her will remained strong and as a reflection of her religious devotion and knowledge of the Bible, she found peace in the firm belief that her daughter-in-law Mercy and her grandchildren were in heaven. Anne Bradstreet died on September 16, 1672, in North Andover, Massachusetts, aged 60. The exact location of her grave is uncertain, but most historians believe her body is in the Old Burying Ground at Academy Road and Osgood Street in North Andover. In 1676, four years after Anne's death, Simon Bradstreet married a second time to a lady also named Anne (Gardiner). In 1697 Simon died and was buried in Salem. This area of the Merrimack Valley is now described as "The Valley of Poets". A marker in North Andover Cemetery commemorates the 350th anniversary (2000) of the publication of The Tenth Muse in London in 1650. This site and the Bradstreet Gate in Harvard, the memorial and pamphlets inside the Ipswich Public Library in Ipswich, MA, as well like Bradstreet Kindergarten in North Andover may be the only places in America that honor his memory. As of 2015, Bradstreet Kindergarten has been demolished in North Andover. In the fall of 2018, the Anne Bradstreet Early Childhood Center opened just off Massachusetts Avenue in North Andover. Home to preschool and kindergarten, the Anne Bradstreet ECC replaced the old building named after her that once stood on Main Street. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Bradstreet#) ............... Um pouco sobre a autora: Anne nasceu em Northampton, Inglaterra, em 1612, filha de Thomas Dudley, um mordomo do Conde de Lincoln, e Dorothy Yorke.[5] Devido à posição de sua família, ela cresceu em circunstâncias cultas e era uma mulher bem educada para sua época, sendo ensinada em história, várias línguas e literatura. Aos dezesseis anos ela se casou com Simon Bradstreet. O pai e o marido de Anne mais tarde serviriam como governadores da Colônia da Baía de Massachusetts. Anne e Simon, junto com os pais de Anne, emigraram para a América a bordo do Arbella como parte da Frota Winthrop de emigrantes puritanos em 1630.[6] Ela esteve pela primeira vez em solo americano em 14 de junho de 1630, no que hoje é Pioneer Village (Salem, Massachusetts) com Simon, seus pais e outros viajantes como parte da migração puritana para a Nova Inglaterra (1620-1640). Devido à doença e fome do Gov. John Endecott e outros moradores da aldeia, sua estadia foi muito breve. A maioria mudou-se imediatamente para o sul ao longo da costa para Charlestown, Massachusetts, para outra curta estadia antes de se mudar para o sul ao longo do rio Charles para fundar "a cidade na colina", Boston, Massachusetts. A família Bradstreet logo se mudou novamente, desta vez para o que hoje é Cambridge, Massachusetts. Em 1632, Anne teve seu primeiro filho, Samuel, em Newe Towne, como era então chamado. Apesar de problemas de saúde, ela teve oito filhos e alcançou uma posição social confortável. Tendo sido afligida anteriormente com varíola quando adolescente na Inglaterra, Anne mais uma vez foi vítima da doença quando a paralisia ultrapassou suas articulações nos anos posteriores. No início da década de 1640, Simon mais uma vez pressionou sua esposa, grávida de seu sexto filho, a se mudar pela sexta vez, de Ipswich, Massachusetts, para Andover Parish. North Andover é aquela cidade original fundada em 1646 pelas famílias Stevens, Osgood, Johnson, Farnum, Barker e Bradstreet, entre outras. Anne e sua família residiam no Old Center of North Andover, Massachusetts. Eles nunca viveram no que hoje é conhecido como "Andover" ao sul. Tanto o pai de Anne quanto seu marido foram fundamentais na fundação da Universidade de Harvard em 1636. Dois de seus filhos eram graduados, Samuel (Classe de 1653) e Simon (Classe de 1660). Em outubro de 1997, a comunidade de Harvard dedicou um portão em memória dela como a primeira poetisa publicada nos Estados Unidos (veja o último parágrafo abaixo). O Bradstreet Gate está localizado próximo ao Canaday Hall, o mais novo dormitório de Harvard Yard. Em 1650, o Rev. John Woodbridge tinha The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America composto por "A Gentlewoman from Those Parts" publicado em Londres, tornando Anne a primeira poetisa já publicada na Inglaterra e no Novo Mundo. Em 10 de julho de 1666, a casa da família North Andover foi incendiada (veja "Obras" abaixo) em um incêndio que deixou os Bradstreets desabrigados e com poucos pertences pessoais. A essa altura, a saúde de Anne estava diminuindo lentamente. Ela sofria de tuberculose e teve que lidar com a perda de parentes queridos. Mas sua vontade permaneceu forte e como reflexo de sua devoção religiosa e conhecimento da Bíblia, ela encontrou paz na firme crença de que sua nora Mercy e seus netos estavam no céu. Anne Bradstreet morreu em 16 de setembro de 1672, em North Andover, Massachusetts, aos 60 anos. A localização exata de seu túmulo é incerta, mas muitos historiadores acreditam que seu corpo está no Old Burying Ground na Academy Road e Osgood Street em North Andover . Em 1676, quatro anos após a morte de Anne, Simon Bradstreet casou-se pela segunda vez com uma senhora também chamada Anne (Gardiner). Em 1697 Simon morreu e foi enterrado em Salem. Esta área do Vale Merrimack é hoje descrita como "O Vale dos Poetas". Um marcador no cemitério de North Andover comemora o 350º aniversário (2000) da publicação de The Tenth Muse em Londres em 1650. Esse local e o Bradstreet Gate em Harvard, o memorial e panfletos dentro da Biblioteca Pública de Ipswich em Ipswich, MA, bem como o Jardim de Infância Bradstreet em North Andover podem ser os únicos lugares na América que honram sua memória. A partir de 2015, o jardim de infância de Bradstreet foi demolido em North Andover. No outono de 2018, o Anne Bradstreet Early Childhood Center foi inaugurado perto da Massachusetts Avenue, em North Andover. Abrigando pré-escola e jardim de infância, o Anne Bradstreet ECC substituiu o antigo prédio com o nome dela que ficava na Main Street. (Fonte: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Bradstreet#)

Roger David Casement (Irish: Ruairí Mac Easmainn; 1 September 1864, Dublin – 3 August 1916), was an Irish patriot, poet, revolutionary and nationalist. Casement was the son of Captain Roger Casement, of the 3rd Battalion of Dragoon Guards in the British Army, and Anne Jephson, who secretly baptized him into the Catholic Church; however, he was brought up as a Protestant, which was his father's belief. He studied at Ballymena Diocesan School and, when he finished school, held various jobs in public administration, including missions in Africa. From 1895 he was British consul in several African countries, and in the Congo he was authorized by the British government to investigate and report on human rights abuses perpetrated against locals. For his report, he received the honor of Companion of the Order of São Miguel and São Jorge in 1905. He was later consul in Santos, Pará and Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, and also in the Putumayo basin, in Peru, where he again denounced the abuses of human rights by rubber extraction companies. His report on this matter was published by the British Parliament and gave him international recognition as a humanist and the title of Knight (Sir).[1] However, Casement was a member of the Gaelic League and, when he left consular service in 1911, he became involved in founding the Irish Volunteers which sought the breakup of Ireland from the British Empire. When World War I broke out in 1914, Casement thought that Germany might be an ally of Ireland and visited that country to try to get support in arms and officers for an armed insurrection. When the Easter Revolt took place, in 1916, Casement was arrested, tried for treason, convicted and executed, having, at that time, lost the honor of knight of the Order of São Miguel and São Jorge.[2] In 2010, the Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa published the book O Sonho do Celta, a fictionalized biography of Roger Casement.

Biography William Wordsworth (7 April 1770 in Cockermouth – 23 April 1850 in Rydal Mount) was the greatest English Romantic poet who, alongside Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped to launch Romanticism in English literature with their joint publication in 1798 , from Lyrical Ballads (“Lyrical Ballads”). The second of five children of John Wordsworth and Ann Cookson, William was born in Cockermouth, in Cumberland, in the Lake District, northwest England. His sister, the poet Dorothy Wordsworth, was born the following year, and the two were baptized together. The other brothers were Richard, the eldest, who would become a lawyer; John, born after Dorothy, who would become a poet and lover of nature, like his brothers, and who died in 1809, in the sinking of a ship where only the captain was saved; and Christopher, the youngest, who would become an academic. William's father was a legal representative of “James Lowther, 1st Earl of Lonsdale” and, due to his connections, lived in a spacious small town mansion. William, like his brothers, had little involvement with their father and remained distant from him until his death in 1783. [1] The father, though rarely present, taught his son poetry, including Milton, William Shakespeare, and Edmund Spenser; moreover, he entrusted his son with his own library. William sometimes spent time with his mother's relatives at Penrith, Cumberland, where he was influenced by the moors and countryside, as well as by the rough treatment of his relatives, particularly his grandparents and uncle, whose hostility so embittered him that consider suicide.[2] After his mother's death in 1778, his father sent him to "Hawkshead Grammar School", and Dorothy went to live with relatives in Yorkshire; she and William did not see each other for the next nine years. Before Hawkshead, William had been educated at Cockermount and Penrith, where he met the Hutchisons, including Mary, who would become his wife.[3] Wordsworth made his literary debut in 1787 when he published a sonnet in The European Magazine. In the same year he began to study at Cambridge and graduated with a degree in Arts in 1791. He returned to Hawkshead for his first two summer holidays, which he spent taking walks in nature. Between the years 1790 and 1792 he traveled across Europe, visiting the Alps, France, Switzerland and Italy. In 1791, William converted to the French revolutionary ideal, joining republican movements. He fell in love with a Frenchwoman, Annette Vallon, who in 1792 bore him a daughter, Caroline. The following year, due to tensions between his country and France, he returned to England [4] and was unable to see his wife and daughter for many years. During this period he fell in love with Mrs. Gannon. With the Peace of Amiens William was able to go to France again, in 1802, and together with his sister Dorothy he visited Annette and Caroline. In 1835, Wordsworth gives Annette and Caroline their livelihood money. Criticism The origin of Wordsworth's philosophical devotion is articulated in The Prelude and every short work by him, like "Lines composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey", for example, has been the subject of much debate. While some have supposed that Wordsworth's philosophy was derived from Coleridge, more recently it has been suggested that his ideas began some years earlier, and the friendship with Coleridge began in 1790. During the revolutionary ideal, in the Paris of 1792, aged 22 , Wordsworth became aware of the mysterious traveler John "Walking" Stewart (1747–1822),[8] who was nearing the end of the 33-year pilgrimage that began in Madras, India, through Persia and Arabia, across Africa and Europe, and across the US. By this time Stewart had published an ambitious work of materialist philosophy entitled The Apocalypse of Nature (London, 1791), from which many of Wordsworth's philosophical sentiments were influenced. Death Tomb of William Wordsworth, Grasmere, Cumbria William Wordsworth died of an aggravation of pleurisy on April 23, 1850 and was laid to rest at St. Oswald, in Grasmere. His widow Mary published her long autobiographical poem "poem to Coleridge" as The Prelude a few months after his death.

Biografia William Wordsworth (Cockermouth, 7 de abril de 1770 – Rydal Mount, 23 de abril de 1850) foi o maior poeta romântico inglês que, ao lado de Samuel Taylor Coleridge, ajudou a lançar o romantismo na literatura inglesa com a publicação conjunta, em 1798, das Lyrical Ballads (“Baladas Líricas”). O segundo dos cinco filhos de John Wordsworth e Ann Cookson, William nasceu em Cockermouth, em Cumberland, no Lake District, noroeste da Inglaterra. Sua irmã, a poetisa Dorothy Wordsworth, nasceu no ano seguinte, e os dois foram batizados juntos. Os outros irmãos eram Richard, o mais velho, que se tornaria advogado; John, nascido após Dorothy, que se tornaria poeta e apreciador da natureza, tal como os irmãos, e que morreu em 1809, no naufrágio de um navio onde apenas o capitão se salvou; e Christopher, o mais novo, que se tornaria um acadêmico. O pai de William era um representante legal de “James Lowther, 1st Earl of Lonsdale” e, devido a suas conexões, vivia em uma espaçosa mansão de uma pequena cidade. William, assim como seus irmãos, tinha pouco envolvimento com seu pai e permaneceu distante dele até sua morte, em 1783.[1] O pai, apesar de raramente presente, ensinou poesia ao filho, inclusive Milton, William Shakespeare e Edmund Spenser; além disso, confiou ao filho sua própria biblioteca. Algumas vezes, William passava um tempo com os parentes de sua mãe, em Penrith, Cumberland, onde era influenciado pelos pântanos e paisagens, assim como pelo tratamento rude de seus parentes, em especial os avós e tio, cujas hostilidades o amarguraram a ponto de pensar em suicídio.[2] Após a morte de sua mãe, em 1778, o pai o mandou para "Hawkshead Grammar School", e Dorothy foi morar com parentes em Yorkshire; ela e William não se encontraram pelos próximos nove anos. Antes de Hawkshead, William estudara em Cockermount e Penrith, onde conheceu os Hutchinsons, incluindo Mary, que se tornaria sua esposa.[3] Wordsworth estreou na literatura em 1787, quando publicou um soneto no The European Magazine. No mesmo ano começou a estudar em Cambridge e se formou em Artes em 1791. Voltou a Hawkshead em suas duas primeiras férias de verão, as quais passava fazendo passeios, caminhadas pela natureza. Entre os anos de 1790 e 1792, viajou através da Europa, visitando os Alpes, França, Suíça e Itália. Em 1791, William converteu-se ao ideal revolucionário francês, entrando para movimentos republicanos. Apaixonou-se por uma francesa, Annette Vallon, que em 1792 lhe deu uma filha, Caroline. No ano seguinte, devido a tensões entre o seu país e a França, voltou à Inglaterra[4] e não pôde ver sua esposa e filha durante muitos anos. Nesse período se apaixonou por Mrs. Gannon. Com a Paz de Amiens William pôde ir à França novamente, em 1802, e juntamente com a irmã Dorothy visitou Annette e Caroline. Em 1835, Wordsworth dá a Annette e Caroline o dinheiro para sua sobrevivência. Crítica A origem do devotamento filosófico de Wordsworth está articulada em The Prelude e cada trabalho curto seu, como "Lines composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey", por exemplo, tem sido alvo de muito debate. Enquanto alguns supõem que a filosofia de Wordsworth era derivada de Coleridge, mais recentemente tem sido aventado que as ideias dele tiveram início alguns anos antes, e a amizade com Coleridge começou em 1790. Durante o ideal revolucionário, na Paris de 1792, aos 22 anos, Wordsworth teve conhecimento do misterioso viajante John "Walking" Stewart (1747–1822),[8] que estava chegando ao fim da peregrinação de 33 anos que teve início em Madras, India, percorrendo a Pérsia e Arábia, atravessando a África e a Europa, e através dos EUA. Nessa época, Stewart tinha publicado um ambicioso trabalho de filosofia materialista intitulado The Apocalypse of Nature (London, 1791), do qual muitos dos sentimentos filosóficos de Wordsworth receberam influência. Morte Tumba de William Wordsworth, Grasmere, Cumbria William Wordsworth morreu de um agravamento de pleurisia em 23 de abril de 1850 e foi velado na igreja St. Oswald, em Grasmere. Sua viúva Mary publicou seu longo poema autobiográfico "poem to Coleridge" como The Prelude alguns meses após sua morte.

About the author: William Butler Yeats, often referred to simply as W.B. Yeats (Dublin, 13 June 1865 – Menton, France, 28 January 1939) was an Irish poet, playwright and mystic. He was active in the Irish Literary Revival and co-founded the Abbey Theatre. His early works were characterized by an exuberant and fanciful romantic tendency, which appears in the title of his 1893 collection, The Celtic Twilight ("The Celtic Twilight"). Later, in his 40s, and as a result of his relationship with modernist poets such as Ezra Pound, and also his active involvement in Irish nationalism, his style becomes more austere and modern. He was also an Irish senator, a position he held with dedication and seriousness. He was awarded the 1923 Nobel Prize in Literature. The Prize-Giving Committee justified his decision on account of "his ever-inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of an entire nation." In 1934 he shared the Gothenburg Prize for Poetry with Rudyard Kipling. (Source: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Butler_Yeats) ............

About the author: Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 - May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Little known during her lifetime, she was considered one of the most important figures in American poetry.[1] Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, into a prominent family with strong ties to its community. After studying at Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she briefly attended Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family home in her hometown. Evidence suggests that Dickinson lived out much of his clinical life. Considered an eccentric by the locals, she developed a preference for white clothing and was known for her reluctance to receive or, later in life, even to leave her room. Dickinson never married, and most friendships between her and others depend entirely on correspondence.[2] Although Dickinson was a prolific writer, her only publications during her lifetime were 10 of her nearly 1,800 poems and a letter.[3] Poems published then were usually significantly edited to conform to conventional poetic rules. Her poems were unique in their time. They contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slanted rhyme as well as capital letters and unconventional punctuation.[4] Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recur in letters to her friends, and also explore aesthetics, society, nature, and spirituality.[5] Although Dickinson's acquaintances were probably aware of her writing, it was not until her death in 1886—when Lavinia, Dickinson's younger sister, discovered her stash of poems—that her work became public. His first collection of poetry was published in 1890 by personal acquaintances Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mabel Loomis Todd, although both heavily edited the content. A 1998 article in The New York Times revealed that, of the many edits made to Dickinson's work, the name "Susan" was deliberately removed. At least eleven of Dickinson's poems were dedicated to sister-in-law Susan Huntington Gilbert Dickinson, although all dedications have been obliterated, presumably by Todd.[6] A complete and largely unaltered collection of her poetry first became available when scholar Thomas H. Johnson published The Poems of Emily Dickinson in 1955. literary characteristics Emily Dickinson, in her entire life, did not publish more than ten poems, sometimes anonymously, and had numerous works recognized only after her death. Her discreet and mysterious life challenges scholars of her work to this day. Her poetry has a unique syntactic freedom, very close to the oral use of the language, it is dense and paradoxical like her life. In her enigmatic literature, she created her own poetic idiom, despising formulas or conventional regularity. Augusto de Campos, in the translation published in a 2008 edition by Unicamp, observes: “His poetry intersects with traces of a spiritualized pantheism, of solitude-solitude, sometimes serene, sometimes desperate, and an abysmal vision of the universe and make human. Micro and macrocosm compacted in poetic aphorisms”.[9] Starting from trivial, everyday, domestic elements, clothing, for example, as well as small beings of nature, Dickinson brings things to life, forming respectful pictures, sometimes ministering surreal, although he expresses very clear ideas through a very plastic. Due to this caveat, many may consider it as belonging to the so-called metaphysical poetry, adding to this a certain mysticism. (https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Dickinson) ............... Sobre a autora: Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (Amherst, 10 de dezembro de 1830 - Amherst, 15 de maio de 1886) foi uma poetisa americana. Pouco conhecido durante sua vida, foi considerado uma das figuras mais importantes da poesia americana.[1] Dickinson nasceu em Amherst, Massachusetts, em uma família proeminente com fortes laços com sua comunidade. Depois de estudar na Amherst Academy por sete anos em sua juventude, frequentou brevemente o Mount Holyoke Female Seminary antes de retornar para a casa de sua família em sua cidade natal. As evidências sugerem que Dickinson viveu grande parte de sua vida clínica. Considerada uma excêntrica pelos moradores locais, desenvolveu uma preferência por roupas brancas e era conhecida por sua relutância em receber ou, mais tarde na vida, até mesmo em sair do quarto. Dickinson nunca se casou, e a maioria das amizades entre ela e outras pessoas dependem inteiramente de correspondência.[2] Embora Dickinson fosse uma escritora prolífica, suas únicas publicações durante sua vida foram 10 de seus quase 1.800 poemas e uma carta.[3] Os poemas publicados então eram geralmente editados de forma significativa para se adequarem às regras poéticas convencionais. Seus poemas eram únicos em sua época. Eles contêm linhas curtas, normalmente não têm títulos e costumam usar rima inclinada, bem como letras maiúsculas e pontuação não convencional.[4] Muitos de seus poemas tratam de temas de morte e imortalidade, dois apresentavam recorrentes em cartas a seus amigos, e também exploram estética, sociedade, natureza e espiritualidade.[5] Embora os conhecidos de Dickinson estivessem provavelmente cientes de sua escrita, foi só depois de sua morte em 1886 - quando Lavinia, a irmã mais nova de Dickinson, descobriu seu estoque de poemas - que seu trabalho se tornou público. Sua primeira coleção de poesia foi publicada em 1890 pelos conhecidos pessoais Thomas Wentworth Higginson e Mabel Loomis Todd, embora ambos tenham editado intensamente o conteúdo. Um artigo de 1998 no The New York Times revelou que, das muitas edições feitas no trabalho de Dickinson, o nome "Susan" foi removido deliberadamente. Pelo menos onze dos poemas de Dickinson foram dedicados à cunhada Susan Huntington Gilbert Dickinson, embora todas as dedicatórias tenham sido obliteradas, presumivelmente por Todd.[6] Uma coleção completa e quase inalterada de sua poesia tornou-se disponível pela primeira vez quando o estudioso Thomas H. Johnson publicou The Poems of Emily Dickinson em 1955. Características literárias Emily Dickinson, em toda sua vida, não publicou mais do que dez poemas, algumas vezes anonimamente, e teve sua numerosa obra reconhecida só após a morte. Sua vida discreta e misteriosa desafia até hoje os estudiosos de sua obra. Sua poesia possui uma liberdade sintática única, muito próxima do uso oral da língua, é densa e paradoxal como sua vida. Em sua enigmática literatura, criou um idioma poético próprio, desprezando as fórmulas ou a regularidade convencional. Augusto de Campos, na tradução publicada em edição de 2008, pela Unicamp, observa: “Cruzam-se em sua poesia os traços de um panteísmo espiritualizado, de uma solidão-solitude, ora serena ora desesperada, e de uma visão abismal do universo e fazer ser humano. Micro e macrocosmo compactados em aforismos poéticos”.[9] A partir de elementos triviais, cotidianos, domésticos, do vestuário, por exemplo, bem como de pequenos seres da natureza, Dickinson dá vida às coisas, formando quadros respeitosos, por vezes, ministro surreais, embora expresse idéias bastante claras através de uma linguagem muito plastic. Em razão desta ressalva, é que muitos podem considerá-la como pertencente à chamada poesia metafísica, somando-se isto a um certo misticismo. (https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emily_Dickinson)

About the Author: Coleridge was born in Ottery St Mary, in the English county of Devonshire, the youngest son of the second marriage of the Protestant pastor John Coleridge. Because he was the favorite of the family, he suffered persecution from his brother Frank. To escape his abuse, Coleridge often hid in the local library, a fact that sparked his passion for literature. Another fact that marked his childhood in Devon was his running away from home at the age of seven, being found the next morning by a neighbor. This night spent away from home was a frequent theme of his poems. With his father's death in 1781, he went to study, against his will, in religious institutions in London, where he stood out as a voracious reader and, not infrequently, among the best students in his class. However, he felt lonely, as he was rarely allowed to see his family again. In his later poem "Frost at Midnight", Coleridge talks about his loneliness at school. His brother Luke died in 1790 and his only sister Ann in 1791, which made him write "Monody", one of his first poems, where Samuel compared himself to Thomas Chatterton, an English poet who committed suicide at the age of 17. It is at this time that he starts his problems with alcohol and women. Later he would also have problems with opium, a drug he began to use to relieve pain caused by health problems. In 1791 he entered the University of Cambridge. In 1792 he won a prize for an ode on the slave trade. In 1793 he enlisted in the army under the false name of Silas Tomkyn Comberbache, supposedly because of problems with debts or with women. By his complete ineptitude for weapons and riding, he escaped being sent to the battlefield in France. After four months, one of his brothers used his influence in the army to get Coleridge discharged for insanity. At the university, which was never completed, Samuel started to defend revolutionary ideals with his new poet friend Robert Southey. In the same year, they wrote the play “The Fall of Robespierre” and planned to emigrate to Pennsylvania and found a utopian society called Pantisocracy. Robert Southey gives up emigrating and becomes a lawyer. In the year 1795 Coleridge married Sara Fricker, Southey's sister-in-law, with whom he had four children. Coleridge's marriage was an unhappy one, ending in divorce due to his lifestyle and his unrequited love for another Sara, surnamed Hutchinson. In the same year ST is introduced to William Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy. The friendship was immediate and the three would write many poems together. The work “Poemas”, published in 1797, is well received and he starts to become famous. Until 1798 he would write his most famous works, with the Symbolist poem Kubla Kahn and the first part of Christabel, in addition to “This Lime-tree Bower My Prison”, “Frost at Midnight” and “The Nightingale”. It was in 1798 that, together with William Wordsworth, he published the Lyrical Ballads, innovative poems and considered precursors of romanticism. Among the works in this volume, Coleridge's long poem, The Ballad of the Old Mariner, stood out. Note: The band Iron Maiden adapted the poem for a song of the same name, the closing track of the album Powerslave, from 1984. In September of that year he traveled with the Wordsworth brothers to Germany. In the high humidity there, his health deteriorated, his addiction to opium increased, and his marital problems intensified. Coleridge wrote his poem "Dejection: An Ode" (Melancholy: An Ode) and intensified his philosophical studies. In 1804 he went to Malta and wandered around Italy in hopes of being cured by the region's drier climate. He returned in 1806, when he separated from his wife. He no longer enjoyed William's friendship and began to earn his living by writing articles for newspapers and giving lectures. Unable to get rid of his addiction to opium, from 1810 he moved to the residence of the pharmacist James Gillman, where he finished his prose book “Biographia Literária (1817)”, in addition to other writings such as “Sibylinne Leaves” (1817). ), “Aids to Reflection” (1825) and “Church and State” (1830), in addition to dealing with the republication of some of his works. Around 1830, critical reviews of his work were very favorable and he was considered a good literary critic, although he never achieved financial independence. Coleridge died unexpectedly peacefully at the age of sixty-one and was buried in Dr. Gillman, in Highgate, on the outskirts of London, leaving behind only a few books and notes. After his death, his nephew Henry Coleridge and wife Sara (Coleridge's daughter) organized the poet's scattered work, publishing several books. About 100 years after his death it was transferred to the crypt of Saint Michael's Church in Highgate. (Source: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Taylor_Coleridge) ...................... Sobre o autor: Coleridge nasceu em Ottery St Mary, no condado inglês de Devonshire, sendo o filho caçula do segundo casamento do pastor protestante John Coleridge. Por ser o preferido da família, sofria perseguições de seu irmão Frank. Para escapar dos abusos dele, Coleridge freqüentemente se escondia na biblioteca local, fato que lhe despertou a paixão pela literatura. Outro fato que marcou sua infância em Devon foi a sua fuga de casa aos sete anos, sendo encontrado na manhã do dia seguinte por um vizinho. Esta noite passada fora de casa servia-lhe como tema frequente de seus poemas. Com a morte do pai em 1781, foi estudar, contra sua vontade, em instituições religiosas de Londres, onde se destacava como leitor voraz e, não raro, entre os melhores alunos de sua turma. Entretanto, sentia-se só, pois raramente lhe era permitido rever a família. Em seu poema “Frost at Midnight”, escrito posteriormente, Coleridge fala sobre sua solidão na escola. Seu irmão Luke morre em 1790 e sua única irmã Ann em 1791, o que lhe fez escrever “Monody”, um de seus primeiros poemas, onde Samuel comparava-se a Thomas Chatterton, poeta inglês que se suicidou aos 17 anos. É nesta época que ele inicia seus problemas com álcool e com mulheres. Mais tarde ele passaria a ter também problemas com ópio, droga que começou a usar para aliviar-se de dores causadas por problemas de saúde. Em 1791 ingressa na Universidade de Cambridge. Em 1792 ganhou um prêmio por uma ode sobre o tráfico de escravos. Em 1793 alista-se no exército com o nome falso de Silas Tomkyn Comberbache, supostamente por problemas com dívidas ou com mulheres. Por sua completa inaptidão para as armas e montaria, escapou de ser enviado ao campo de batalha na França. Após quatro meses, um de seus irmãos usou sua influência no exército para conseguir a baixa de Coleridge por insanidade. Na universidade, nunca concluída, Samuel passou a defender ideais revolucionários com seu recém-amigo poeta Robert Southey. No mesmo ano escrevem a peça “A queda de Robespierre” e planejam emigrar para a Pensilvânia e fundar uma sociedade utópica denominada de Pantisocracia. Robert Southey desiste de emigrar e torna-se advogado. No ano de 1795 Coleridge casa-se com Sara Fricker, cunhada de Southey, com quem teve quatro filhos. O casamento de Coleridge foi infeliz, terminando em divórcio pelo seu estilo de vida e por ele ter tido um amor não correspondido por outra Sara, de sobrenome Hutchinson. Neste mesmo ano ST é apresentado a William Wordsworth e sua irmã Dorothy. A amizade foi imediata e os três escreveriam muitos poemas juntos. A obra “Poemas”, publicada em 1797, é bem recebida e ele começa a ficar famoso. Até 1798 escreveria suas mais famosas obras, com o poema simbolista Kubla Kahn e a primeira parte de Christabel, além de “This Lime-tree Bower My Prison”, “Frost at Midnight” e “The Nightingale”. Foi em 1798 que, junto com William Wordsworth, publicou as Baladas líricas, poemas inovadores e considerados precursores do romantismo. Entre as obras deste volume, sobressaiu-se o longo poema de Coleridge, A Balada do Velho Marinheiro. Obs: A banda Iron Maiden adaptou o poema para uma canção homônima, faixa de encerramento do álbum Powerslave, de 1984. Em setembro daquele ano viajou junto com os irmãos Wordsworth para a Alemanha. Na alta umidade daquele local, sua saúde piorou, sua dependência ao ópio aumentou e seus problemas matrimoniais se intensificaram. Coleridge escreveu seu poema “Dejection: An Ode” (Melancolia: Uma Ode) e intensificou seus estudos filosóficos. Em 1804 foi para Malta e andou pela Itália com esperanças de curar-se pelo clima mais seco da região. Retornou em 1806, quando separou-se de sua esposa. Já não tinha a amizade de William e passou a ganhar a vida escrevendo artigos para jornais e realizando palestras. Sem conseguir livrar-se de seu vício no ópio, a partir de 1810 passou a morar na residência do farmacêutico James Gillman, onde terminou seu livro de prosa “Biographia Literária (1817)”, além de outros escritos como “Sibylinne Leaves” (1817), “Aids to Reflection” (1825) e “Church and State” (1830), além de tratar da republicação de algumas de suas obras. Por volta de 1830 as revisões críticas sobre sua obra lhe eram bem favoráveis e ele tido como um bom crítico literário, embora nunca tivesse alcançado sua independência financeira. Coleridge morreu com inesperada serenidade aos 61 anos e foi enterrado no jardim da casa do dr. Gillman, em Highgate, no subúrbio de Londres, deixando de herança somente alguns livros e anotações. Depois de sua morte, seu sobrinho Henry Coleridge e a esposa Sara (Filha de Coleridge) organizaram a obra dispersa do poeta, publicando vários livros. Cerca de 100 anos após a sua morte foi transladado para a cripta da igreja de Saint Michael em Highgate. (Fonte: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Taylor_Coleridge)

About the Author: John Milton (London, 9 December 1608 – London, 8 November 1674) was an English poet, polemicist, intellectual and civil servant, serving as Secretary of Foreign Languages to the Commonwealth of England under Oliver Cromwell. He wrote at a time of religious flux and political upheaval, and is best known for his epic poem Paradise Lost (1667), written in blank verse. Born in London, he attended Christ's College, Cambridge University, where he graduated in 1629 and obtained an MA in 1632. He read ancient and modern works in theology, philosophy, history, politics, literature and science, and in May 1638, traveled to France and Italy on a tour, met the astronomer Galileo Galilei and visited the Accademia della Crusca. Upon returning to England, he wrote prose against the episcopate in the midst of the English Civil War, and attacked William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury. In March 1649 he was made Secretary of Foreign Languages by the Council of State. During this period he published texts in defense of republican principles, and in 1654 he was completely blind and consequently impoverished. After the English Restoration, Milton continued to defend the republic and criticize the monarchy. He went into hiding and received a warrant for his arrest, later being pardoned. He died in 1674, having been married three times. His prose and poetry reflected deep personal convictions, a passion for freedom and self-determination, and the pressing issues and political turmoil of his time. Writing in English, Latin, and Italian, he achieved international fame in his lifetime, and his celebrated Areopagitica (1644) ranks among history's most influential defenses of free speech and freedom of the press. William Hayley's biography, published in 1796, called him "the greatest English author", and he generally remains regarded as "one of the most prominent writers in the English language", although critical reception has fluctuated in the centuries since his death ( often because of his republicanism). Samuel Johnson praised Paradise Lost as "a poem which, with regard to design, may claim the first place, and with regard to performance, the second, among the productions of the human mind", although he — a conservator and recipient of royal patronage —described Milton's politics as those of a "bitter, surly Republican".[1] Because of its republicanism, it has been the subject of centuries of British partisanship—a hostile account by Anthony Wood in 1691, a "Nonconformist" biography by John Toland in 1698, and many others. His political tracts were consulted in the drafting of the US Constitution.[2] (Source: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Milton) ..... Sobre o autor: John Milton (Londres, 9 de dezembro de 1608 — Londres, 8 de novembro de 1674) foi um poeta, polemista, intelectual e funcionário público inglês, servindo como Secretário de Línguas Estrangeiras da Comunidade da Inglaterra sob Oliver Cromwell. Escreveu em um momento de fluxo religioso e agitação política, e é mais conhecido por seu poema épico Paraíso Perdido (1667), escrito em verso branco. Nascido em Londres, frequentou a Christ’s College da Universidade de Cambridge, onde graduou-se em 1629 e obteve um mestrado em 1632. Leu obras antigas e modernas de teologia, filosofia, história, política, literatura e ciência, e em maio de 1638, viajou para França e Itália em uma digressão, se encontrou com o astrônomo Galileu Galilei e visitou a Accademia della Crusca. Ao voltar à Inglaterra, escreveu prosas contra o episcopado em plena Guerra Civil Inglesa, e atacou William Laud, arcebispo de Cantuária. Em março de 1649 foi feito Secretário de Línguas Estrangeiras pelo Conselho de Estado. Durante esse período publicou textos em defesa dos princípios republicanos, e em 1654 ficou completamente cego e consequentemente pobre. Após a Restauração Inglesa, Milton continuou a defender a república e criticar a monarquia. Se escondeu e recebeu um mandado de prisão, sendo perdoado posteriormente. Ele morreu em 1674, tendo se casado três vezes. Sua prosa e poesia refletiam profundas convicções pessoais, a paixão pela liberdade e autodeterminação, e as questões urgentes e turbulência política de sua época. Escrevendo em inglês, latim e italiano, alcançou fama internacional em sua vida, e seu célebre Areopagítica (1644) está entre as defesas mais influentes da história da liberdade de expressão e liberdade de imprensa. A biografia de William Hayley, publicada em 1796, o chamou de "o maior autor inglês", e ele geralmente permanece sendo considerado como "um dos escritores mais proeminentes da língua inglesa", embora a recepção crítica tenha oscilado nos séculos desde sua morte (muitas vezes por conta de seu republicanismo). Samuel Johnson elogiou Paraíso Perdido como "um poema que, em relação ao design pode reivindicar o primeiro lugar, e no que diz respeito ao desempenho, o segundo, entre as produções da mente humana", embora ele — um conservador e destinatário do patrocínio real — descreveu a política de Milton como as de um "amargo e ranzinza republicano".[1] Por causa de seu republicanismo, tem sido objeto de séculos de partidarismo britânico — uma consideração hostil de Anthony Wood, em 1691, uma biografia "não-conformista", de John Toland, em 1698, e muitos outros. Seus tratados políticos foram consultados na elaboração da Constituição dos Estados Unidos.[2] (Fonte: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Milton)
