Common Sense was a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine. It was first published anonymously on January 10, 1776, during the American Revolution. Common Sense presented the American colonists with an argument for independence from British rule at a time when the question of independence was still undecided. Paine wrote and reasoned in a style that common people understood; forgoing the philosophy and Latin references used by Enlightenment era writers, Paine structured Common Sense like a sermon and relied on Biblical references to make his case to the people.Historian Gordon S. Wood described Common Sense as, the most incendiary and popular pamphlet of the entire revolutionary era.

Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest epic poems in the English language. It tells the story of the Fall of Man, a tale of immense drama and excitement, of rebellion and treachery, of innocence pitted against corruption, in which God and Satan fight a bitter battle for control of mankind's destiny. The struggle rages across three worlds - heaven, hell, and earth - as Satan and his band of rebel angels plot their revenge against God. At the center of the conflict are Adam and Eve, motivated by all too human temptations, but whose ultimate downfall is unyielding love.Marked by Milton's characteristic erudition is a work epic both in scale and, notoriously, in ambition. For nearly 350 years it has held generation upon generation of scholars, students and readers in rapt attention and its profound influence can be seen in almost every corner of Western culture.

作者 : 叶芝
本书是叶芝的代表作之一，这是一部特殊的作品。之所以说它特殊，原因有二：第一，这是诗人叶芝以诗歌的笔法写出，却又并非诗集的作品。第二，这是诗人用来表达他对爱尔兰永恒的热爱的一部重要作品。实际上，这是一部叶芝饱含着诗人的激情整理出的一部优美的爱尔兰神话传说集。诗人浸淫在爱尔兰文化中多年，对于爱尔兰传说中的仙女等等魔幻力量的存在深信不疑，这种浪漫信仰给他的诗歌创作增添了特殊光彩。为了回报爱尔兰民族文化这个提供给他以无限灵感的美的母体，叶芝用诗人的笔触，记录下他喜爱的凯尔特风土人情。本书集结了或绵延数页，或寥寥几句的乡人闲谈和神话传说，风格和形式有点类似我国蒲松龄的《聊斋志异》。不过，与《聊斋》不同的是，本书更多的是强调诗人本人对于魔幻世界的思索与感激。这是一部反映了作者早期的典型创作特征的作品。它的内容包罗万象：鬼怪、仙人、幽默故事和乡间传说层出不穷；它的文体更可谓杂而不乱：时而是一段关于生命和死亡的严肃探讨，时而是一段农人放肆地讲出的荒诞不经的故事，之间穿插着叶芝的诗歌片段。全书笔法自由轻松至极，行文充满想象力，张扬一种神秘浪漫的美感以及对淳朴思想的热爱。《凯尔特的薄暮》是搜集自爱尔兰斯莱戈和戈尔韦两地的神话、传说合集，是作者在爱尔兰西北沿海村庄采风，和当地的各色人物交友聊天，并对这些谈话笔记稍加整理，加上自己的一些思考和感悟编写而成的。也可以视为一部文笔优美的散文集，其内容涉及天地神鬼，充满各种有趣的奇谈怪论，有点类似我国的《聊斋志异》，或者《阅微草堂笔记》。

John Donne (1572-1631) was the most outstanding of the English Metaphysical Poets and a churchman famous for his spellbinding sermons.Donne's poetry embraces a wide range of secular and religious subjects. He wrote cynical verse about inconstancy, poems about true love, Neoplatonic lyrics on the mystical union of lovers' souls and bodies and brilliant satires and hymns depicting his own spiritual struggles. The two Anniversaries - An Anatomy of the World (1611) and Of the Progress of the Soul (1612)--are elegies for 15-year-old Elizabeth Drury.Whatever the subject, Donne's poems reveal the same characteristics that typified the work of the metaphysical poets: dazzling wordplay, often explicitly sexual; paradox; subtle argumentation; surprising contrasts; intricate psychological analysis; and striking imagery selected from nontraditional areas such as law, physiology, scholastic philosophy, and mathematics.Obsessed with the idea of death, Donne preached what was called his own funeral sermon, Death's Duel just a few weeks before he died in London on March 31, 1631.

Inspired by Irish folklore, first published in 1892, first performed in 1899.The sorrowful are dumb for thee--Lament of Morion Shehone for Miss Mary BourkeOriginally published in 1892, The Countess Cathleen aroused fierce controversy when it was first performed in 1899. The play was frequently revived and almost as often revised, becoming at various points in Yeats’s career a decisive indicator of his relations with his literary and theatrical public, of his changing conception of dramatic form, and of the status of his pursuit of Maud Gonne, for whom the play was written. This volume in the Cornell Yeats reproduces the complete set of extant manuscripts preceding the play’s first publication and reassembles the extensive manuscript, proof, and authorial copy to present a crucial body of evidence of Yeats’s work and thought in drama and theater over the course of three decades.
