Pages : 196
Book Description
"Bywaters does nothing less than make late Dryden readable, readable for perhaps the very first time since the middle of the eighteenth century. . . . His will be the book that teaches teachers."--Carol Kay, New York University "In my opinion, the best overall account of Dryden's later career that we possess . . . a new starting point for criticism of Dryden's later works. . . . The writing alone establishes the author's credibility as a plain-spoken man who has much to say and nothing to hide."--John Wallace, University of Chicago "Bywaters does nothing less than make late Dryden readable, readable for perhaps the very first time since the middle of the eighteenth century. . . . His will be the book that teaches teachers."--Carol Kay, New York University

The Northumbrians
Author: Dan Jackson
Publisher: Hurst & Company
ISBN: 1787381943
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
Why is the North East the most distinctive region of England? Where do the stereotypes about North Easterners come from, and why are they so often misunderstood? In this wideranging new history of the people of North East England, Dan Jackson explores the deep roots of Northumbrian culture--hard work and heavy drinking, sociability and sentimentality, militarism and masculinity--in centuries of border warfare and dangerous and demanding work in industry, at sea and underground. He explains how the landscape and architecture of the North East explains so much about the people who have lived there, and how a 'Northumbrian Enlightenment' emerged from this most literate part of England, leading to a catalogue of inventions that changed the world, from the locomotive to the lightbulb. Jackson's Northumbrian journey reaches right to the present day, as this remarkable region finds itself caught between an indifferent south and a newly assertive Scotland. Covering everything from the Venerable Bede and the prince-bishops of Durham to Viz and Geordie Shore, this vital new history makes sense of a part of England facing an uncertain future, but whose people remain as distinctive as ever.
