Medieval and Renaissance Poets. Langland to Spenser 1978 (Poets of the English Language)
: The poetry in this volume represents that portion of the great poetry of Christendom that was written in English--at first in Middle English, but soon in our own tongue--from the fourteenth century through most of the sixteenth. Its beginnings in the Middle Ages have special meaningfulness for us today, when we are beset by the need to rediscover the unity that was then felt between man and society, feeling and intellect. In the development of allegory, particularly, we find one of its characteristic modes. Following on through these wide-ranging selections, we get an illuminating view of the pre-Shakespearean poetic temper, when verse was universally the popular medium for instruction and entertainment. In addition to Auden s brilliant introduction to the period, this volume contains a helpful guide to the poems in Middle English, and footnote glossaries of unfamiliar words.

Bosco H., L'Enfant et la Rivire 1978
: Pascalet connat une enfance paisible la campagne, dans une petite mtairie au milieu des champs bords de cyprs. Le soir, la veille, il entend les grandes personnes parler de la rivire qui coule l-bas, derrire les prs, voquant les eaux bouillonnantes, les crues, les trous morts, les bohmiens et les courants. Pascalet rve de connatre ce lieu magique qui lui est formellement interdit. "p la rivire mon enfant, lui dit sa mre, il y a des trous morts o l'on se noie, des serpents parmi les roseaux et des Bohmiens sur les rives."Un jour, les parents de Pascalet partent en voyage. Tante Martine, la tante de Pascalet, doit le garder plusieurs jours, mais elle ne s'en occupe pas, ce qui permet Pascalet de faire sa premire escapade.Le petit garon va sentir en lui l'appel irrsistible de ce cours d'eau fabuleux qui le fait rver, nuit et jour, l'image de Bargabot, l'trange braconnier qui en connat chaque mandre et vient parfois lui rendre visite. Bravant un jour l'interdiction de sa famille, il succombe la tentation et rejoint la rivire. Mais la barque qui le mne part soudain la drive, l'entranant sur une le sauvage. Il y fait alors la rencontre d'inquitants bohmiens qui retiennent prisonnier un jeune garon, Gatzo. Aprs avoir dlivr le jeune otage, tous deux s'enfuient. Les deux garons, se cachant des bohmiens, ne pourront alors plus compter que sur leur seule dbrouillardise dans une nature sauvage. Bien plus tard, retrouvant ses parents, Pascalet leur prsentera son ami, Gatzo. Apprenant qu'il est seul au monde, les parents de Pascalet l'adopteront.

James H., What Maisie Knew 1978 (Penguin Modern Classics)
: One of the most remarkable technical achievements in fiction. We are shown corruption through the eyes of innocence that will not be corrupted. Maisie is a child who must lead her life between her divorced parents, who are immoral and irresponsible. The entire action is presented through Maisie, through her developing consciousness and understanding.
1978
James H., The Europeans 1978 (Penguin Modern Classics)
: This small book, written so early in James's career, is a masterpiece of major quality. The graceful irony and firm construction of The Europeans proclaim the influence of Jane Austen on the early Henry James.
1977
James H., The Princess Casamassima 1977 (Penguin Modern Classics)
: Brought up in poverty, Hyacinth has nevertheless developed aesthetic tastes that heighten his awareness of the sordid misery around him. He is drawn into the secret world of revolutionary politics and, in a moment of fervour, makes a vow that he will assassinate a major political figure. Soon after this he meets the beautiful Princess Casamassima. Captivated by her world of wealth and nobility, art and beauty, Hyacinth loses faith in radicalism, the beastly cause. But tormented by his belief in honour, he must face an agonizing, and ultimately tragic, dilemma.

James H., Selected Short Stories 1977 (Penguin Modern Classics)
: The four stories in this volume provide excellent introductions to the themes and styled of the author's three periods and aiso to that 'long short story' )'the dear, the blessed nouvelle') in which James found he could get the best of both words
1977
The Penguin Book of Contemporary Verse. 1918-60 1977
: The present collection, which was first published in 1950 and has been reprinted seventeen times, has been widely acclaimed and remains one of the best known and most constantly used anthologies of modern poetry to have appeared.
1977
James H., The Aspern Papers and Other Stories 1977 (Penguin Modern Classics)
: These three short stories are distinguished from Henry James s longer novels by a significant change in style. As always, they are deeply concerned with the subtleties and vagaries of character but, restricted as they are by the forms and conventions of short story writing, they are necessarily more direct in tone and precise in their territory.
1977
Fielding H., Joseph Andrews 1977 (The Penguin English Library)
: Joseph Andrews refuses Lady Booby's advances, she discharges him, and Joseph and his old tutor, Parson Adams (one of the great comic figures of literature), sets off to visit his sweetheart, Fanny. Along the way, they meet with a series of adventures in which, through their own innocence and honesty, they expose the hypocrisy and affectation of others.

1977
James H., The Bostonians 1977 (Penguin Modern Classics)
: Henry James' celebrated novel about a passionate New England suffragette, her displaced southern gentleman cousin, and a charismatic young woman whose loyalty they both wished to possess goes so directly to the heart of sexual politics that it speaks to us with a voice as fresh and as vital as when the book was first published in 1882. Majestic in its movement, rich and sympathetic in its ironies, The Bostonians is the work of a master psychologist at the top of his form.
