Emily the Strange: The Lost Days
Emily the Strange: 13 years old. Able to leap tall buildings, probably, if she felt like it. More likely to be napping with her four black cats; or cobbling together a particle accelerator out of lint, lentils, and safety pins; or rocking out on drums/guitar/saxophone/zither; or painting a swirling feral sewer mural; or forcing someone to say "swirling feral sewer mural" 13 times fast . . . and pointing and laughing.
Fifty Poems of Emily Dickinson [Audiobook] Volume 3
Read by a talented group of actresses, including Stephanie Beacham, Glenda Jackson, Sharon Stone, Meryl Streep and Melissa Manchester.
After Emily Dickinson's death in 1886, her sister discovered 1,775 poems bound in small packets - a collection that is now considered some of the best poetry in the English language. Fifty of Dickinson's most penetrating and insightful works are gathered in Volume III of this praiseworthy series.
Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights", set among the rugged beauty of the English moors, is the tragic and passionate story of Catherine and Heathcliff, two lovers drawn together from the moment they meet. Their love is consuming and destructive, forbidden and inescapable, making Bronte's tale an enduring classic of English literature. This new Bloom's Guides volume offers clear analysis perfect for students seeking valuable insight into this haunting tale praised for its innovative structure, originality, and poetic style.
Each volume of Poetry for Students provides analysis of approximately 20 poems that teachers and librarians have identified as the most frequently studied in literature courses. Some of the poems covered in this volume include:
"Music Lessons" by Mary Oliver "My Life Closed Twice before Its Close" by Emily Dickinson "Names of Horses" by Donald Hall "A Red, Red Rose" by Robert Burns "The River Merchant's Wife" by Ezra Pound And more
Known for her wit and preference for seclusion, 19th-century poet Emily Dickinson rarely left her home in Amherst, Massachusetts, preferring instead to write quietly from the confines of her bedroom. Today she is one of the most beloved and widely studied American poets. Bloom's How to Write about Emily Dickinson offers valuable paper-topic suggestions, clearly outlined strategies on how to write a strong essay, and an insightful introduction by Harold Bloom on writing about Dickinson. This new volume is designed to help students develop their analytical writing skills and critical comprehension of this important poet and her works.
