Àííîòàöèÿ: In 1846 there were no anaesthetics. An operation meant searing pain, hardly dulled by rum or opium, enduring only through strong men holding the patient on the table. Surgeons like Robert Liston learned to operate swiftly, to be merciful... Liston could amputate a leg in 50-odd seconds. Suddenly, the knot of agony was loosened, with —Laughing gas— and ether come to Europe from New England. Like other obvious benefits to humanity, the anaesthetics brought antagonism, chicanery, and violent death to their originators. Richard Gordon—s depiction of medicine and medical men in London, Boston and Edinburgh during the 1840—s is a brilliant new departure for this most versatile and entertaining of English novelists.

Àííîòàöèÿ: 147 poets in a far-ranging survey of the Victorian age s significant poetic achievements. The pleasures of Victorian poetry lie in its multitude of lyric and dramatic voices and, above all, in its rhythmic power and subtlety. Nowhere else can these reading pleasures be better enjoyed than in the pages of Daniel Karlin s enormous selection of poetry written and published during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901). Ranging from the late Romantic period to the brink of high modernism, The Penguin Book of Victorian Verse features a generous sampling of poems.

Àííîòàöèÿ: The present volume should sere the needs of teachers and students, inside and outside the classroom, who are interested in the current poetry scene and wish to develop a critical apparatus for dealing with the work of a variety of poets.

Àííîòàöèÿ: 'I mean to show things really as they are, not as they ought to be'. wrote Byron (1788-1824) in his comic masterpiece "Don Juan", which follows the adventures of the hero across the Europe and near East which Byron knew so well, touching on the major political, cultural and social concerns of the day.This selection includes all of that poem, and selections from Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and the satirical poems English Bards and Scotch Reviewers and A Vision of Judgement.

Àííîòàöèÿ: John Milton's poetry and prose reflect deep personal convictions, a passion for freedom and self-determination, and the urgent issues and political turbulence of his day. Writing in English, Latin, Greek, and Italian, he achieved international renown within his lifetime, and his celebrated Areopagitica — written in condemnation of pre-publication censorship—is among history's most influential and impassioned defenses of free speech and freedom of the press

Àííîòàöèÿ: This book offers selections from the writings of twenty-two master authors of the British tradition. Editorial introductions follow a common plan. Each begins with a brief biographical summary. There follows a statement of critical generalizations and, where necessary, historical information likely to be of use to the student, including an attempt to relate the selections offered to the rest of the author's work by showing their place in the pattern of his total career.

Àííîòàöèÿ: This entertaining account of Cambridge around the turn of the twentieth century contains the centenary edition of the complete text of F. M. Cornfords famous satire of 1908 on university politics, Microcosmographia Academica, together with a full account of the controversies which gave rise to it. Cambridge during this period was being subjected to pressure for reform from within and outside the University, forcing it to radical social and academic change, above all by extending and altering the curriculum and by admitting women. All these matters, many of which remain in debate at the beginning of the twenty-first century in Cambridge and in the wider academic community, provoked fierce debates and provided a rich context for Cornfords pamphlet. The book is illustrated with a selection of contemporary photographs and portraits.
