Description:A rich cross-section of the modernist poet and critic's work from 1923 to 1987.In a single volume, the essential work of a major Modernist poet and thinker. Some see Laura Riding and Laura (Riding) Jackson as virtually two separate writers, the former a strikingly original Modernist poet and critic, the latter a supposedly reclusive thinker on man and woman, language, meaning, and truth. However, encountering her work in this rich cross-section, one discovers a remarkable consistency of theme developing throughout, from the earliest poems and stories to the "post-poetic" writings of her final years. The selections presented here span sixty-four years and include famous works of poetry and prose—some long out of print or difficult to find—significant lesser-known writings, and an important previously unpublished late essay, "Body & Mind and the Linguistic Ultimate."Contents:Chronology of Laura (Riding) Jackson's lifeA prophecy or a pleaDimensionsMakeshiftThe sweet asceticTo a cautious friendIf a woman should be MessiahIncarnationsThe maskTake handsLucrece and NaraMortalThe QuidsThe virginBack to the mother breastAs well as any otherThe lullabyThe tigerThe rugged black of angerEchoes, 1-6The map of placesDeath as deathThe troubles of a bookOpening of eyesThe wind suffersYou or youWorld's endRhythms of loveBeyondCome, words, awayAs many questions as answersEarthThe wind, the clock, the weRespect for the deadThere is no land yetThe flowering urnPoet : a lying wordNor is it written (from Three sermons to the dead)Be grave, womanDivestment of beautyThe reasons of eachAfter so much lossDoom in bloomSeizure of the worldNothing so farChapter VI : the making of the poem / Laura Jackson and Robert GravesShame of the personThe mythWhat is a poem?A complicated problemThe corpusThe damned thingFrom Though gentlyExperts are puzzledThe fable of the diceThe second letter : to continue to begin withFrom The word "woman" and other related writings : chapter 4 : being a womanPreface to the first editionDaisy and venisonReality as port huntladyA last lesson in geographyIn the beginningThe exercise of English, sections 1-2In defence of angerFrom The world and ourselves : part V, recommendation 14 (abridged)From Collected poems : to the readerIntroduction for a broadcast; continued for ChelseaPoetry and the goodThe sex factor in social progressHow now to think of womenPreface to Selected poems : in five setsSequel of 1964 and of 1974 to 'A last lesson in geography'On 'In the beginning'What, if not a poem, poems?The road to, in, and away from, poetryIntroduction to The poems of Laura RidingPreface to the second edition of Progress of stories (abridged)Rational meaning, chapter 18 : truth (abridged)Body & mind and the linguistic ultimateNonce prefaceOutlineThe tellingWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
