What is the political potential of poetry in the contemporary era? Exploring an often overlooked history of Marxist-Feminist poetics in post-war Britain – including such poets as Denise Riley, Veronica Forrest-Thomson, Wendy Mulford and Nat Raha – this book confronts this central question to debates about the value of humanities education today. Lyric Pedagogy and Marxist-Feminism demonstrates how ideas of social reproduction have been central both to the forms of post-1945 British poetry and the educational institutions where poetry is overwhelmingly encountered and produced. Combining new archival research with close readings of key poets of the period, the book charts the interrelated crises both of poetry itself and literary education more widely. Paradoxically, the very marginalisation of poetry in contemporary culture serves to offer the form new opportunities as an agent of social transformation.

When I reached my 80th birthday, I was reminded of my thinking when I was in my late 30's and my father was 72. He proudly stated he was a member of SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives) and was helping local businesses. I had difficulty believing he was capable of helping others based on his advanced age. In retrospect, I now realize he was almost 10 years younger than I am, so I am documenting, to share with others, what someone in his 80's can do.

They say that 'All roads lead to Rome'...Three young boys, having lost their homes and families to Roman raids, join up with an unlikely group of fellow believers, on a mission to go straight into the great city of Rome and rescue their friends. Under intense persecution, secret police, and a cruel Emperor, they rely on the Lord to guide their way through, testing their faith at every turn. Evil temples, brutal soldiers, and great lions all loom as threats as large as the Colosseum itself. New companions offer help, but betrayal is everywhere. Trying to understand, trying to stay alive, trying to save friends and save souls, the rugged group must face the jagged teeth of Rome and escape her crushing bite. But if all roads lead to Rome, how will they find their way out?

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
