Excerpt from The Five Nations
The shudder, the stumble, the swerve, as the star stabbing bowsprit emerges?
The orderly clouds of the Trades, and the ridged, roaring sapphire thereunder Unheralded cliff-haunting flaws and the headsail's low-volleying thunder His Sea in no wonder the same - his Sea and the same through each wonder His Sea as she rages or stills?

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book of national anthems echoes a historical moment that saw the rise and fall of empires, and the powerful emotions that such major shifts of power invoked and amplified. The author weaves these anthems into a broader context of geopolitics to reveal their essential character as national rallying cries and expressions of group identity. Through a deep reading of the words of the anthems themselves, as well as the political and cultural circumstances that produced them, the author also examines the thematic depth of nationhood, imperialism, race, and the complexities of national pride. This book's insights into the poetic devices that express national character, and its profound reflection on the myriad ways in which people form and give voice to their national identities, establishes it as an essential read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of national narratives.
