Romantic Atheism: Poetry and Freethought, 1780-1830

Martin Priestman, Romantic Atheism: Poetry and Freethought, 1780-1830 (Cambridge Studies in Romanticism)
Cambridge University Press | ISBN 0521026857 | 2006 | PDF | 2.25 MB | 325 pages
Romantic Atheism explores the links between English Romantic poetry and the first burst of outspoken atheism in Britain from the 1780s onwards. Martin Priestman examines the work of Blake, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley, Byron and Keats in their most intellectually radical periods, establishing the depth of their engagement with such discourses, and in some cases their active participation. Equal attention is given to less canonical writers: such poet-intellectuals as Erasmus Darwin, Sir William Jones, Richard Payne Knight and Anna Laetitia Barbauld, and controversialists including Holbach, Volney, Paine, Priestley, Godwin, Richard Carlile and Eliza Sharples (these last two in particular representing the close links between punishably outspoken atheism and radical working-class politics).

The Iliad - Homer

PDF | ISBN 1406953342 |Year 750BC | 495 pages | English | 1.30 MB
Together with the Odyssey, one of two ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer, supposedly a blind Ionian poet, or collection of nameless poets. Most modern scholars consider the epics to be the oldest literature in the Greek language.

Typically described as one of the greatest war stories of all time, but to say the Iliad is a war story does not begin to describe the emotional sweep of its action and characters: Achilles, Helen, Hector, and other heroes of Greek myth and history in the tenth and final year of the Greek siege of Troy.

The Odyssey - Homer

Homer “The Odyssey”
PDF | ISBN 1600968155 | Year 750 BC | 301 pages | English | 1.25 MB

The poem is, in part, a sequel to Homer’s Iliad and mainly centers on the Greek hero Odysseus (or Ulysses in Latin) and his long journey home to Ithaca, following the fall of Troy.


The epic tale of Odysseus’ ten-year journey after the defeat of Troy is, at once, a thrilling adventure story, a passionate love story, and a fantasy rooted in ancient history. It is also the cornerstone on which much of Western literature and thought is based. Three thousand years after ancient bards plucked their lyres and sang the adventures of gods and heroes, we still see much of ourselves in the tales of Odysseus and his men as they battle natural and supernatural forcesand their own human natureto find their way home.

Khaki Verse


Excerpt

free

When the push made a hack of him.

Now he's paid me back. I had struck a snag,

And must creep through the battle spume
All a flamin' age, with a grinnin' jag
In me thigh, for water, or jest a fag.
Like a crippled snake I was forced to drag

Shattered flesh till the crack of doom.

When they saw me he was the one who came.

'N' he give me a raffish grin
'N' a swig. I wasn't so bad that shame
Didn't get me then, for the lad was lame.
They had passed him his, but his 'art was

game.
'N' he coughed ez he brought me in.

I have tackled God on me bended knees,

So He'll save him alive 'n' whole,
For the sake of one who he thinks he sees
When the Nurse's hands bring a kind of ease;
And I thank God, too, for the things like these

That have give me a sort of soul.

There are Percies, Algies, 'n' Claudes I've

met
Who could take it 'n' come agen,
While the bullets flew in a screamin' jet.
