Critical introductions to a range of literary topics and genres. Romanticism offers guidance through the diversity of uses and meanings of the word 'romantic', not in terms of fixed definitions or essential qualifying characteristics, but rather in giving a helpful framework for questions and exploration. The focus throughout tends to be on the Western European cultural world of the latter half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th, as befits English literary study, but the context is far broader.

Everybody walks with a limp. From cradle to casket, life is filled with physical, mental, and emotional pain. Some may hide their limp better than others. Nevertheless, the limp is there. Suffering is no respecter of persons. While suffering afflicts our bodies and emotions, the problem of suffering afflicts the mind. When confronted by tragedy, one may ask: How can I survive this pain? But eventually, the more philosophical questions occupy the mind: Why did God let this happen? or How can I trust a God who would let my child die? In Life with a Limp, David Stevens provides a robust, biblical reflection on these and other questions such as: - How do I handle my grief? - What is the role of suffering in the Christian life? - How do I reconcile my suffering with belief in an all-good God? - Do all things really work together for good for those who love God? This book is for "limpers" by one who limps. Throughout, the author shares his story of limping through doubt, loss, and grief following the death of his firstborn son. But more importantly, he explores how our limp in life can help us grow more in love with our suffering Savior.

En 1977, paraissait " Racines ", le best-seller légendaire qui reste encore dans toutes les mémoires. En racontant la fabuleuse et authentique saga de Kounta Kinté, son ancêtre africain, et celle des six générations suivantes d'esclaves et d'affranchis, de fermiers et forgerons, avocats et architectes, Alex Haley écrivait l'histoire de vingt-cinq millions d'Américains noirs. " Queen " prolonge et achève aujourd'hui cette œuvre unique et gigantesque qui restitue à son peuple l'identité et l'héritage culturel dont un siècle d'esclavage l'avait dépossédé. Avec l'épopée bouleversante de sa grand-mère, né pendant la guerre de Sécession des amours illicites d'un planteur irlandais et d'une esclave, l'auteur réinvente l'existence tumultueuse et passionnée d'une femme inoubliable en quête de liberté.
