The Urdu Ghazal
Author: Gopi Chand Narang
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019099004X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 602
Book Description
The Urdu Ghazal presents the unique flowering of the ghazal as a by-product of India’s composite culture. It explores a variety of influences on the ghazal, including Sufism, Bhakti movement, and infusion of Rekhta and Persian languages and culture. The book elucidates classical ghazal forms that blossomed from the seeds sown by Amir Khusrau in the fourteenth century to achieve great heights of literary excellence during the next 300 years, notably in the works of great poets like Mir and Ghalib. It also illustrates different socio-political and cultural demands of changing times, primarily how the ghazal provided new creative models to deal with literary movements like progressivism, modernism, and postmodernism, through works of pioneering twentieth-century poets like Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Gulzar, and Javed Akhtar.

Confessions of a Southern Beauty Queen
Author: Julie Hines Mabus
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 149684016X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
In the late 1960s, Patsy Channing, a stunningly beautiful young woman, was suspended from the venerable Mississippi State College for Women for breach of conduct. The resulting scandal reached all the way to the Columbus courthouse, and the press ate it up. But Patsy’s story starts long before that, living with a preoccupied and troubled mother in Memphis, Tennessee. As Patsy grows up, she buries the memories of her unspeakable childhood trauma and is determined to have a normal life. Music becomes her ticket out and a vehicle for the one thing she covets most—a chance to be crowned Miss America. In Confessions of a Southern Beauty Queen, Julie Hines Mabus provides a peek into that world—a world struggling through the civil rights movement, reeling from the death of JFK, and cutting loose with the musical innovations from Memphis and Detroit. Patsy develops a close friendship with a guitarist at Stax Recording Studio, giving her firsthand exposure to the early Memphis Soul Sound created by such greats as Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, and Sam & Dave. Confessions of a Southern Beauty Queen opens and closes with the end of Patsy’s time at Mississippi State College for Women on that fateful spring morning in 1968 when she entered the Columbus courthouse. Patsy’s story, marked with tragedy and triumph, mirrors that of a growing and evolving South, where change never comes easy.

Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1639037780
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
Uniqueness. You are holding it in your hands. Open DOLLSPEL, this most unusual series of enrichment essays, to find a childhood favorite, the iconic Raggedy Ann (Andy, too), contributing ably to adult sensibilities. The moppet muse "comes alive" for the author in order to share her precepts and induce reflective thoughts on eight topics of substantive interest to grown-ups. This simple-to-sublime literary route allows any-aged adult to see that things often go awry for us because we lose sight of the simplest attributes learned in our youth, especially kindness and goodness. Pronounced correctly, DOLLSPEL sounds like gospel, which is a huge clue as to the content. Raggedy softness, brightness and whimsey once made us feel good. Within these pages, Raggedy wisdom attempts to help us do good, making our world a more welcoming and more beautiful place, where we can all live together harmoniously.
