Ice Captain: The Life of J.R. Stenhouse

Ice Captain: The Life of J.R. Stenhouse

Stephen Haddelsey

The History Press Ltd
2014
nidottu
Much has been written on Antarctic explorer, Ernest Shackleton. This is the story of the Endurance expedition's other hero, Joseph Russell Stenhouse (1887-1941) who, as Captain of the SS Aurora, freed the ship from pack ice and rescued the survivors of the Ross Sea shore party, deeds for which he was awarded the Polar Medal and the OBE. He was also recruited for special operations in the Arctic during the First World War, became involved in the Allied intervention in Revolutionary Russia, and was later appointed to command Captain Scott's Discovery. Stenhouse was one of the last men to qualify as a sea captain during the age of sail.

A Hobbit Journey: Discovering the Enchantment of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth

A Hobbit Journey: Discovering the Enchantment of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth

Matthew Dickerson

Discover the enchantment of Tolkien's Middle-earth... "What are the costs of military victory? Is mercy sometimes too expensive? Can torture ever be justified? Are there any moral absolutes in a world of competing faiths and cultures? A Hobbit Journey traces these and many other issues through their surprisingly detailed presentation in Tolkien's fiction. If anyone should still doubt Tolkien's applicability and relevance to the 21st century, this is the book to put in their hands." -Thomas Shippey, author of J.R.R. Tolkien: Author of the Century "J.R.R. Tolkien's stories are countries full of treasure that will go undiscovered and unappreciated unless we learn how to be attentive treasure hunters. Matthew Dickerson writes as one who has spent his summers in the Shire, hiked every trail in Mirkwood Forest, taken counsel from Gandalf, and argued with Gollum and Smaug. It's as though he sharpened the tools of his intellect in deep conversation with Tolkien himself. He will prove to be a thought-provoking guide through Middle-earth whether you're a frequent visitor there or a newcomer ready for the adventure of a lifetime." -Jeffrey Overstreet, author of Auralia's Colors and Through a Screen Darkly "A Hobbit Journey instantly engages readers with its combination of scholarly knowledge and love for J.R.R. Tolkien's work. Matthew Dickerson resists imposing his own rigid, limiting thesis and instead interprets the text by simply pointing out to fellow readers what is there. In doing so, he illuminates the power of Tolkien's stories to challenge, delight, and transform us." -Colin Duriez, author of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis: The Gift of Friendship and J.R.R. Tolkien: The Making of a Legend

Poetry and Song in the Works of J.R.R. Tolkien: proceedings of the Tolkien Society Seminar 2017.J.R.R. Tolkien regarded himself 'chiefly as a poet' (Carpenter, The Inklings, p. 29) and the importance of poetic diction and its most potent form, song, provides a powerful leitmotif to his mythological universe. Following the publication of Tolkien's two verse works: The Lay of Atrou and Itroun (2016) and Beren and Luthien (2017), the Tolkien Society called for papers re-examining the importance of poetry and song in Tolkien's writing. A series of presentations both on the author's poems and on verse incorporated into his worldbuilding were given in Leeds on the 2nd of July 2017. Published under the auspices of the Society's Peter Roe Memorial Fund, this book features a collection of four papers delivered on the day by aspiring and established Tolkien scholars alike.

Die Verfahren Der Textbildung in J.R.R. Tolkiens the Hobbit

Die Verfahren Der Textbildung in J.R.R. Tolkiens the Hobbit

Tolkiens Erstlingswerk The Hobbit gehort zu den Stiefkindern der Literaturkritik. Dabei weist dieses vornehmlich an Kinder gerichtete Werk bereits die gesamte Fulle von Tolkiens Schaffenskraft auf und ist in seiner Weise -origineller- als die spateren Werke. Die Arbeit veranschaulicht dies in einem triadischen Textanalyseverfahren, das sowohl die motivgeschichtlichen -thematischen- Verfahren der Textgenese, als auch die strukturellen und rhetorischen Techniken berucksichtigt. Durch die Kombination linguistischer und literaturwissenschaftlicher Verfahren wird versucht, dem Autor J.R.R. Tolkien gerecht zu werden."

The Romantic Spirit in the Works of J.R.R. Tolkien

The Romantic Spirit in the Works of J.R.R. Tolkien

WALKING TREE PUBLISHERS
2024
pokkari
J.R.R. Tolkien's Arda illustrates how he incorporated and built on aesthetics, ideals, and philosophies that were, during his lifetime, associated with the Romantics of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The Romantic Spirit in the Works of J.R.R. Tolkien is a celebration of Romanticism's multiplicity, offering fresh perspectives on Tolkien's relationship with English, Scottish, German, transatlantic, musical and artistic Romanticisms, working in concert to open up our discussions of Tolkien's Romantic Spirit. By embracing this approach, the volume avoids generalisations or vague definitions of Romanticism and the Romantic, paving the way for future scholarship that seeks to understand Tolkien's stylistic and thematic connections with Romanticism. The contributions to this volume by Elliott Greene, Valentina P. Aparicio, Lynn-Forest Hill, Sharin Schroeder, Mariana Rios Maldonado, Verlyn Flieger, Chiara Bertioglo, Annise Rogers, David Smith, Kacie Wills, Christopher Hagen, Adam Neikirk, John R. Holmes, Austin Freeman, Brandon Wernette, Eva Lippold and Nick Groom by no means exhaust the discussion on Tolkien's Romanticism. Rather, they aim to ignite further exploration by embracing Romanticism's ever-growing cast of voices and spirits.
