The Ballad of the Iron Cross (Classic Reprint)
Author: Alfred Dodd
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780484174442
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 64
Book Description
Excerpt from The Ballad of the Iron Cross Strictly speaking, the title may be somewhat of a mis nomer. The ballad, as an art form of poetry, should strictly confine itself to a simple narration of incidents. Readers will note, however, that, while the narrative is continued through the various cantos, there are quietly introduced suggestions, reflections, social, philosophic, psychic, and theological problems. These, I think, natur ally arise out of the story. To have suppressed them would have destroyed, to a large extent, the true function of poetry - which should not only seek to interest the reader, but to kindle his imagination, arouse his emotions, quicken his idealism, and provoke thought that will ultimately lead to action. Wordsworth did not hesitate to introduce reflections in his Peter Bell, Coleridge in his Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, and Oscar Wilde acted similarly in his Ballad of Reading Jail. Other examples could easily be quoted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Strange Case of "The Angels of Mons"
Author: Richard J. Bleiler
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476620962
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 245
Book Description
World War I began disastrously for the English when the Germans routed them at Mons, Belgium, on August 23 and 24, 1914. On September 29, 1914, the Anglo-Welsh writer Arthur Machen fictionalized this encounter in a newspaper story, claiming that the English were saved by the appearance of angelic bowmen sent by St. George. But his fiction became accepted as fact. The believers--notables G. K. Chesterton, Arthur Conan Doyle and C. S. Lewis, along with almost forgotten figures like Harold Begbie, Phyllis Campbell and T. W. H. Crosland--wrote pamphlets, testimonies and poems, performed music and created motion pictures attesting to the existence of the guardian angels. This history of the Angels of Mons controversy for the first time collects and annotates Machen's work and the responses it inspired, most of which have not been available since their publication a century ago. Also reprinted for the first time are several of Machen's responses to the believers, including "The Angels of Mons: Absolutely My Last Word on the Subject" and "The Return of the Angels: This Time They Are at Ypres."
