Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Reynolds Pamphlet (1797) is an essay by Alexander Hamilton. Written while Hamilton was serving as Secretary of the Treasury, the Pamphlet was intended as a defense against accusations that Hamilton had conspired with James Reynolds to misuse funds meant to cover unpaid wages to Revoluti…onary War veterans. Admitting to an affair with Maria, Reynolds' wife, Hamilton claims that the accusation is nothing more than an attempt at blackmail. This revelation not only endangered Hamilton's career as a public figure, but constituted perhaps the earliest sex scandal in American history. "The bare perusal of the letters from Reynolds and his wife is sufficient to convince my greatest enemy that there is nothing worse in the affair than an irregular and indelicate amour. For this, I bow to the just censure which it merits. I have paid pretty severely for the folly and can never recollect it without disgust and self condemnation. It might seem affectation to say more."Accused of corruption in his role as Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton was forced to confess his adultery, bringing shame to himself as a married man and supposedly honorable public figure, yet saving his political career in the process. Looking back on his affair with Maria Reynolds from a distance of five years, Hamilton expresses regret for his foolishness, yet wholeheartedly denies her husband's accusation that he had been involved in his scheme to misuse government funds. Perhaps the first sex scandal in American history, the Reynolds affair sent shockwaves throughout the burgeoning republic, leaving many to question the motives and character of their leaders for the first time, though certainly not the last.This edition of Alexander Hamilton's Reynolds Pamphlet is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. When Aubrey, a young Englishman, meets a mysterious man from London high society, Lord Ruthven, they become unlikely friends. Shortly after, Aubrey decides to accompany the noble on a trip to Rome. However, when a moral disagreement arises between the two, Aubrey decides to leave Ruthven in… Rome, and goes off on his own. Arriving in Greece, Aubrey meets Ianthe, and the two share an immediate connection. After sharing stories and an evening together, Aubrey and Ianthe part ways for the night. However, after a devastating turn of events, Aubrey and Ruthven reunite, and Aubrey, ready to leave Greece behind, is happy to travel with the older man once again. But as they continue their travels, Aubrey slowly begins to notice Ruthven's odd behavior. After even more consideration, Aubrey realizes a shocking pattern-nearly everyone that Ruthven comes in close contact to meets an untimely end. Afraid of his newly acquired knowledge, Aubrey attempts to distance himself from the suspicious man, though he is forced to reconsider his efforts when Ruthven expresses intent to marry Aubrey's sister. First published under Lord Byron's name, The Vampyre rose to immediate commercial success. However, though he was inspired by a discarded piece of Lord Bryon's work, both authors have since admitted that John William Polidori was the true writer of The Vampyre. Considered to be the first work of vampire fiction, The Vampyre had an immense role in shaping vampires as literary figures, influencing the canonical rules of vampires that many still follow today. First published in 1819, Polidori's The Vampyre remains to be a thrilling and spooky read centuries later, and has since inspired both film and theater adaptations. With mystery and eerie suspense, Polidori's work is an extraordinary example of 19th century gothic horror. This edition of The Vampyre by John William Polidori features a striking new cover design and is printed in a font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, The Vampyre caters to a contemporary audience while preserving the original innovation of John William Polidori's work.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The United States Constitution and Bill of Rights (1787-1789) is a foundational document of American democracy. Written by delegates attending the Constitutional Convention, a gathering intended to revise the system of government established under the Articles of Confederation, The Constitu…tion of the United States was ratified in 1788 before becoming effecting in 1789. Nearly two and a half centuries old, it is the oldest continually enforced national constitution in the world. The United States Bill of Rights, containing the first ten amendments to the Constitution, was ratified in 1791, codifying into law the essential individual rights and freedoms of Americans, setting limitations on government power, and diverting powers not specifically granted to Congress to the states and citizens. "We the People." Beginning with these words affirming the democratic aspirations of the nation, The Constitution of the United States defines the foundational organization and function of the federal government. Despite being amended 27 times since its ratification and enforcement, The Constitution of the United States is seen as essential to the American system of government and political representation. Based on several earlier documents, including the Virginia Declaration of Rights (1776) and the English Magna Carta (1215), The United States Bill of Rights adds to the original Constitution-which focuses primarily on the organization and function of the federal government-certain protections and specifications targeting the rights of individual Americans, important safeguards determining the reach of the federal government and ensuring the states and the people are proportionately empowered. The First Amendment, perhaps the most recognizable, guarantees freedom of religion, speech, press, and assembly, as well as the right of every citizen to petition the government without fear of reprisal or punishment.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Waste Land (1922) is a poem by T.S. Eliot. After suffering a nervous breakdown, Eliot took a leave of absence from his job at a London bank to stay with his wife Vivienne at the coastal town of Margate. He worked on the poem during these months before showing an early draft to Ezra Poun…d, who helped edit the poem toward publication. The Waste Land, dedicated to Pound, includes hundreds of quotations of and allusions to such figures as Homer, Sophocles, Virgil, Ovid, Dante, Saint Augustine, Chaucer, Baudelaire, and Whitman, to name only a few.Divided into five sections-"The Burial of the Dead;" "A Game of Chess;" "The Fire Sermon;" "Death by Water;" and "What the Thunder Said"-The Waste Land is a complex poem that translates Eliot's fragile emotional state and increasing dissatisfaction with married life into an apocalyptic vision of postwar England. The poem begins with a meditation on despair before moving to a polyphonic narration by figures on the theme. The third section focuses on death and denial through the lens of eastern and western religions, using Saint Augustine as a prominent figure. Eliot then moves from a brief lyric poem to an apocalyptic conclusion, declaring: "He who was living is now dead / We who were living are now dying / With a little patience." Both personal and universal, global in scope and intensely insular, The Waste Land changed the course of literary history, inspiring countless poets and establishing Eliot's reputation as one of the foremost artists of his generation.This edition of T.S. Eliot's The Waste Land is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Sonnets from the Portuguese (1850) is a collection of sonnets by English poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Written between 1845 and 1846, Sonnets from the Portuguese is a series of love poems written by Browning to her husband, the prominent Victorian poet Robert Browning. Although Elizabeth… was initially unsure of the poems, Robert encouraged their publication, suggesting she title them to make readers believe they were translations and not personal declarations of love between the couple. Using the sonnet, Browning adopted a traditional form made famous by Shakespeare while staking a claim for herself as one of nineteenth century England's premier poets.Filled with references to the Greek pastoral poet Theocritus and the tragic figure Electra, as well as invocations to God, Sonnets from the Portuguese immerses itself in biblical and classical tradition while remaining deeply personal and authentically romantic. Sonnet "XV" addresses the inherent tragedy of love, the depth of sadness with which a lover beholds another with "Too calm and sad a face," overwhelmed with the knowledge that with love comes "the end of love, / Hearing oblivion beyond memory." In sonnet "XXVIII," Browning reflects on the distance between lovers kept apart: all she has of him are her letters, "all dead paper, mute and white!" And yet, "they seem alive and quivering" in her "tremulous hands," a living reminder of the man she longs to be with. "XLIII," the most famous sonnet of the collection, begins "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways," and records the poet's confession of a love more powerful than "the passion put to use / In [her] old griefs." Not only has her lover brought her such joy, he has also given her a love she "seemed to lose / With [her] lost saints," a love strong enough to transcend religious faith entirely, a love that is destined to last, and to be even "better after death."This edition of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Spirit of Japan (1916) is a speech by Rabindranath Tagore. Published after he received the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature, The Spirit of Japan is a powerful lecture on Japanese culture in relation to the modernizing forces of the West. Delivered at the Keio Gijuku University in Tokyo, T…he Spirit of Japan is a testament to Tagore's gifts as an artist and intellectual. "True modernism is freedom of mind, not slavery of taste. It is independence of thought and action, not tutelage under European schoolmasters. It is science, but not its wrong application in life,-a mere imitation of our science teachers who reduce it into a superstition absurdly invoking its aid for all impossible purposes." Invigorated by a tour of Japan, Rabindranath Tagore reflects on a culture which, to his mind, has "realized nature's secrets, not by methods of analytical knowledge, but by sympathy." Before he returns to his native country, he makes sure to warn the gathering of Japanese students who have come to hear him speak of the dangers of modernization and the encroachment of European values. This edition of Rabindranath Tagore's The Spirit of Japan is a classic of Indian literature reimagined for modern readers.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Secret Rose (1897) is a collection of poems by W.B. Yeats. Written in response to demands that the poet write "a really national poem or romance," The Secret Rose exhibits Yeats' devotion to personal mythology and occult orders, and is a brilliant display of symbolism by one of Irish li…terature's premier poets."To the Secret Rose" opens the collection. The poem, inspired by Yeats' membership in the Rosicrucian Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, uses symbolism to evoke religion, myth, and history. The "Far off, most secret, and inviolate Rose" is an image of utopian longing, an ideal moment the poet awaits, envisions, and longs for. "The Crucifixion of the Outcast" is a parable in which a wandering bard is led by Christian brothers to his execution. As his cross is set in the earth, he offers a portion of his last meal to the beggars who have gathered to watch. When he is nailed to the cross, however, he finds that mercy without humility is a seed that cannot grow. In "The Curse of the Fires and of the Shadows," Puritan soldiers storm an abbey and attack a group of friars. Before he dies, the abbot raises the cross upon the altar, and promises divine vengeance. Immediately afterward, the soldiers are told that two messengers have escaped on horseback to warn and gather the people for a counterattack. The Secret Rose explores themes of faith and persecution while illuminating the proximity of life and myth for a poet whose subject is the soul.This edition of W.B. Yeats's The Secret Rose is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Dualitists (1887) is a short story by Irish author Bram Stoker. Written at the beginning of his career, The Dualitists helped to establish the Irish master of Gothic horror's reputation as a leading writer of the early-twentieth century. Controversial for its gruesome subject matter and… bleakly comedic vision of corrupted youth, The Dualitists is a largely underappreciated story that deserves reassessment by readers and academics alike. After years of trying to have children, a husband and wife finally find cause to celebrate. Welcoming a set of identical twins into the world, they prove far too lenient, doting on their boys while turning a blind eye to their mischievous behavior. Starting with objects and furniture around the home, the twins are consumed by their destructive tendencies. Soon, they grow tired of breaking things, and begin experimenting with live subjects, first on animals, and then on the children of their neighborhood. As their acts grow more violent by the day, their strange ability to pacify their parents proves not only unsettling, but increasingly dangerous to all who stand in their path. The Dualitists is a gripping work of horror and black comedy by Bram Stoker, the secretive and vastly underrated creator of Dracula, one of history's greatest villains. This edition of Bram Stoker's The Dualitists is a classic of Irish literature reimagined for modern readers.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A Passion in the Desert (1830) is a short story by French author Honore de Balzac. Written as part of his La Comedie humaine sequence, A Passion in the Desert is a frequently anthologized work of short fiction that explores humanity's relationship with nature as well as the effects of conqu…est and colonization. The story was loosely adapted into a 1997 feature film and remains one of Balzac's most acclaimed works. The story's frame narrative begins after a man and woman attend a menagerie in Paris. The woman is horrified by what she has seen: a man working with a tamed hyena as though it were human. Her companion, the story's narrator, reveals his experience in these matters, and agrees to tell her a tale reported to him by a crippled veteran of Napoleon's conquests. This soldier, he explains, was captured by Ottoman forces during the emperor's campaign in Egypt. Managing to escape, he fled across the desert on horseback toward the safety of the Nile. When his horse died from exhaustion, he continued on foot and discovered, in the damp protection of a cave, a sleeping panther. Terrified at first, he slowly came to an understanding with the creature, learning to live at her side without angering her or falling prey to her animal hunger. One day, however, emerging from the cave to admire an eagle in flight, he is struck with the feeling that the panther had become jealous, and devises a plan to escape her inevitable wrath. This edition of Honore de Balzac's A Passion in the Desert is a classic of French literature reimagined for modern readers.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Taboo (1921) is a comic fantasy novel by James Branch Cabell. Set in a world where history and fantasy collide, where a lowly pawnbroker can encounter monsters, gods, and devils, Taboo is a follow up to Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice, which was the subject of an obscenity trial pursued by the…New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. In 1923, after winning his case, Cabell made sure to immortalize the event with a revised edition featuring a "lost" chapter where Jurgen is persecuted for his writing by grotesque Philistines. In Taboo, one work in a series of novels, essays, and poems known as the Biography of the Life of Manuel, Cabell explores the cultural environment that led to his work's persecution, inventing a whole world in which to air his grievances. "Since time's beginning, every age has had its literary taboos, selecting certain things-more or less arbitrarily, but usually some natural function-as the things which must not be written about. To violate any such taboo so long as it stays prevalent is to be 'indecent': and that seems absolutely all there is to say concerning this topic, apart from furnishing some impressive historical illustration." While most authors in the midst of an obscenity trial would be content to let their lawyer do the talking, James Branch Cabell took the opportunity to reflect on the matter in the only way he knew how. In this work, written in the style of medieval history, Cabell tells the story of Philistia, a country dedicated to the persecution of all manner of ill-defined vice and taboo. Bold and satirical, this thinly veiled critique of his own, high-minded critics is essential to understanding Cabell's vision of art. Cabell's work has long been described as escapist, his novels and stories derided as fantastic and obsessive recreations of a world lost long ago. To read Taboo, however, is to understand that the issues therein-the struggle for power, the unspoken distance between men and women-were vastly important not only at the time of its publication, but in our own, divisive world. This edition of James Branch Cabell's Taboo is a classic of fantasy and romance reimagined for modern readers.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Philosophy of Composition (1846) is an essay by Edgar Allan Poe. Recognized as a foundational figure of nineteenth century fiction, Poe has inspired generations of readers and writers with his craftsmanship and taste for tragedy and terror. His brief but meteoric career shaped the traje…ctory of American literature forever, forming a legacy without which science fiction, horror, and detective writing would surely be shells of themselves. Published only three years before his untimely death, the essay appeared in an April 1846 issue of Graham's American Monthly Magazine of Literature and Art, whose editor had previously made the mistake of turning down "The Raven." Both influential and controversial, Poe's essay on craft was intended as a dismissal of the myth of spontaneous art, arguing instead that a true artist depends upon attention to detail and adherence to a logical creative process. Using his own poetic masterpiece as an example, Poe claims that the writer must maintain "unity of effect" throughout the work in order to inspire the intended emotional response in the reader. Once this element has been set in place, the writer may proceed with the more technical aspects of composition, such as characters, setting, and plot. Although Poe's essay drew the ire of Anglo-American poet T. S. Eliot, it was immensely popular among Poe's Francophone audience and served as inspiration for such artists as Maurice Ravel and Charles Baudelaire. This edition of Edgar Allan Poe's The Philosophy of Composition is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. First performed in 1908, How the Vote Was Won is a one act play by actress Cicely Hamilton and Christopher St. John. Set in England during the early 18th century, How the Vote Was Won uses comedy to tell a story in support of women's suffrage. In this one act the English government tells it…s people that women do not need to worry about having the right to vote because the men will be in charge of taking care of them. This was part of the ridiculous idea held by the United Kingdom, and the world at the time. Women were held under the authority of their husbands, and would be solely supported by them. This allowed them no place in politics and took away their autonomy. The play stars Horace, an anti-suffragist, who is confronted by many of his female relatives demanding that he start supporting them since they have no rights. Many of these women formally held jobs, financially supporting themselves but have quit in protest and support of the movement for women to have voting rights, the same as men. Now, Horace is forced to either support each of these women, practicing what he preaches, or admit to his hypocritical beliefs. Written by two of the most notable champions in literature for women's rights in the United Kingdom, How the Vote Was Won by Cecily Hamilton and Christopher St. John served as a clever and humorous way to address the inequalities women suffered. Today, the work of these two passionate activists still provides an accurate portrayal of the political landscape they lived in. This edition of How the Vote Was Won by Cecily Hamilton and Christopher St. John features an eye-catching new cover design and is presented in a font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, this edition is accessible and appealing to contemporary audiences, restoring How the Vote Was Won to modern standards while preserving the clever comedy and impact of the work of Cecily Hamilton and Christopher St. John.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Twenty (1918) is a poetry collection by Stella Benson. Largely recognized for her work as an activist in the women's suffrage movement and for her popular novels, Benson was also an accomplished poet. Twenty, her debut volume, is a collection indebted to symbolism in which Benson reflects o…n her experiences as a young woman in a rapidly changing world. In "The Secret Day," Benson muses on the impossibility of peace in a time that refuses to slow: "My yesterday has gone, has gone and left me tired, / And now to-morrow comes and beats upon the door / [.] / So I have built To-day, more precious than a dream; / And I have painted peace upon the sky above." Responding to the horrors of a decade torn by war, Benson does what she can to maintain her own personal calm, to build a safe space apart from the world. In "Redneck's Song," she laments the years of her life spent obeying "the laws of men / Who worshipped law," declaring instead that "Those laws are dust / To-day." In these poems shaped by her experience as an activist and pioneering feminist, the personal is inseparable from the political. Benson's identity, her present and her future, depend on this revolutionary thrust-no longer will she "shut [her] eyes" and "hold [her] tongue." It may be "their path," but she will make her own "groove," her own way through life. This edition of Stella Benson's Twenty is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Mercenary Lover (1726) is a novel by Eliza Haywood. Blending tragedy and comedy, Haywood explores the intersection of ambition, family, and desire to reveal how women so often fall victim to the whims of villainous men. The Mercenary Lover is considered a prime example of the popular ge…nre of amatory fiction, which often used love triangles to expose the imbalance between male and female desire in a patriarchal society. Miranda and Althea are young, beautiful, and wealthy. Regardless of their individual merits, however, they both fall victim to unbridled desire in the form of the dastardly Clitander. When he chooses Miranda, she counts herself lucky and prepares for a life of passion and companionship. Meanwhile, the young man begins fantasizing about what he could do with her inheritance, and soon hatches a plan to take control of their family estate. What follows is a tale of betrayal and greed, a series of tragic events that threatens to divide two sisters forever.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Burning Wheel (1916) is a collection of poems by English author Aldous Huxley. Published when the poet was only twenty-two, The Burning Wheel captures the mind of an artist at its earliest fertile stage, enthralled with a world either blooming with change or wilting with all-out war. Al…though Huxley is known foremost as a novelist, his poetry exhibits a mastery of language and an uncommon sense of the music inherent to words."The Burning Wheel" opens the collection with a kaleidoscopic vision of life and creation, illuminating the poet's debt to the French Symbolists. "Weary of its own turning," the burning wheel slows for a moment's rest. This wheel, both machine and pure, wild flame, is the poet compelled to create, the mind that "[w]akes from the sleep of its quiet brightness / And burns with a darkening passion and pain." In "Quotidian Vision," Huxley returns to earth to remark: "There is a sadness in the street / And sullenly the folk I meet / Droop their heads as they walk along." In these simple, rhyming couplets, the poet channels the verse and vision of William Blake to see, despite the "mist of cold and muffling grey," a "dead world move for him once more / With beauty for its living core." The Burning Wheel is a compelling collection from an artist whose poetry is no less remarkable for having gone mostly unnoticed.This edition of Aldous Huxley's The Burning Wheel is a classic of English literature reimagined for modern readers.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Mountain Interval (1916) is a collection of poems by American poet Robert Frost. Having gained success with his first two collections, both published in London, Frost returned home to New Hampshire and completed his third volume, Mountain Interval. The book opens with "The Road Not Taken,"…and though this would become Frost's most famous poem, the collection is not defined by it. Here we find the hallmarks of Frost's work: rural landscapes, dramatic monologues, and subtle meditations on the meanings of life and art. This is Frost at the height of his power, a poetry that speaks as much and as often as it listens."The Road Not Taken" is a meditation on fate and free will that follows a traveler in an autumn landscape, unsure of which path to take, but certain he cannot stand still. Often summarized using only its final two lines-"I took the one less traveled by, / And that has made all the difference"-Frost's poem refuses such neat categorization. Far from simple praise of independence, "The Road Not Taken" examines the anxiety of choice, the psychic response to the uncertainty that precedes even the simplest decision. In "Birches," Frost recalls his childhood fondness for climbing trees, raising himself from the ground "To the top branches," only to fling himself "outward, feet first" back to earth. Against the backdrop of adulthood, in which "life is too much like a pathless wood," the poet recalls the simplicity and wonder of being a child in nature, no more and no less than "a swinger of birches.".This edition of Robert Frost's Mountain Interval is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Elizabeth Cleghorn Gaskell's Half-Brothersfollows two brothers, Gregory, and his younger brother, who is left unnamed. After the death of her first husband, Helen, Gregory's mother, remarries a man named William Preston. Together, they conceive a child, but Helen tragically dies during chil…dbirth. Mourning the loss of his wife, but happy about the arrival of his son, William is left to raise both children alone. However, since Gregory is quiet, slightly awkward, and not his biological son, William treats Gregory much different than he does his younger son. While Gregory is treated like garbage, the younger son secures a position as the darling of the family. Still, Gregory remains to be kind, despite the fact that his stepfather's attitude towards him has infected his younger brother as well. As jealousy and resentment builds, a catharsis emerges arises one winter day. After being sent on an errand by his father, the younger brother decides to take a shortcut home. However, his sense of direction is mistaken, and the short cut leaves him lost and alone. As the snow falls, the temperature drops and the night begins to set, the younger brother is scared and cold, terrified that he will never make it home. However, when Gregory realizes his brother is missing, he debates going out to find him. Wandering outside as the night begins to reign would be dangerous and unpleasant.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral (1773) is the first book of poetry published by an African American author. Written while Wheatley was a slave in Boston, the collection was published in England. Regarded for her mastery of classical poetic form, Phillis Wheatley earned praise… from Voltaire and George Washington. Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral has long been the subject of scholarly work on the history of African American literature, with some critics arguing that Wheatley's poems proved detrimental to the struggle of enslaved African Americans. Whether Wheatley made excuses for slavery or, as some have argued, included subtle critiques of the institution in her writing, her talent and importance to the history of African American literature remain undisputed.Despite her status as a slave, Phillis Wheatley seems to have viewed herself as a blessed individual, a woman for whom life itself was a sign of God's grace, and in whom talent arose in the form of a foreign language. Many of her poems-elegies, odes, and monologues-are aimed at others. Whether in mourning, in praise, or in warning, Wheatley frequently offers her own voice to university students, royalty, God, the muses, and deceased infants. When she does offer glimpses of herself, for instance, in her poem "On Being Brought from Africa to America," she provides a complex perspective on her status as a slave: "'Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land, / Taught my benighted soul to understand / That there's a God, that there's a Saviour too." While her words may seem strange to our modern view of the American institution of slavery, they provide an important historical lens onto the adoption of Christianity by African American slaves, who developed a faith grounded in resistance, hope, and redemption.This edition of Phillis Wheatley's Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral is a classic of African American literature reimagined for modern readers.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A Minor Poet and Other Verse (1884) is a poetry collection by Amy Levy. Published when the poet was only twenty-three years old, A Minor Poet and Other Verse is the work of a pioneering writer and feminist whose poetry and prose explores the concept of the New Woman while illuminating the r…ealities of Jewish life in nineteenth century London. "I am sad / Here in this gracious city, whose white walls / Gleam snow-like in the sunlight; whose fair shrines / Are filled with wondrous images of gods; / Upon whose harbour's bosom ride tall ships, / Black-masted, fraught with fragrant merchandise; / Whose straight-limbed people, in fair stuffs arrayed, / Do throng from morn till eve the sunny streets." Brought to a foreign land by her lover Jason, Medea becomes an exile in body and soul. Unable to assimilate within a culture dedicated to commerce and flowing with hatred and vanity, she despairs and longs for release. In this monologue, Levy perhaps projects some of her own feelings as a feminist and lesbian living in Victorian England. Othered already through her Jewish identity, Levy struggled throughout her life with depression. In "Xantippe," a poem inspired by Socrates' wife, Levy imagines a monologue from a woman emerging from despair into hope, who sees "a rosy glimmer" at the casement and cries "O fling it wide [.] and give me light!"
