Focusing on the significance of place, connection and relationship in three poets who are seldom considered in conjunction, Rory Waterman argues that Philip Larkin, R.S. Thomas and Charles Causley epitomize many of the emotional and societal shifts and mores of their age. Waterman looks at the foundations underpinning their poetry; the attempts of all three to forge a sense of belonging with or separateness from their readers; the poets’ varying responses to their geographical and cultural origins; the belonging and estrangement that inheres in relationships, including marriage; the forced estrangements of war; the antagonism between social belonging and a need for isolation; and, finally, the charged issues of faith and mortality in an increasingly secularized country.

Through the example of Central Pacific Railroad executives, Manufacturing the Modern Patron in Victorian California redirects attention from the usual art historical protagonists - artistic producers - and rewrites narratives of American art from the unfamiliar vantage of patrons and collectors. This book addresses not only readers in the art history and visual and material cultures of the United States, but also scholars of patronage studies, American Studies, and the sociology of culture. It tells a story still relevant to this new Gilded Age of the early twenty-first century, in which wealthy collectors dramatically shape contemporary art markets and institutions.

It is not very easy to sum up change in any situation, especially in family situations. I think everyone can relate to incidents that have caused many conflicts and challenges in their own family. These conflicts sometime cause great strains on familial relationships with each other. There are always going to be disappointments in families; that some family members don’t feel they belong with each other and don’t necessarily agree with one another. Some members of a family feel they are above their siblings. However, what should always bind family members together is the fact that they share a bloodline and other important similarities that embody their very being. This cannot be discounted. It is important that families tie up loose ends, though invisible with the naked eye but these ends are still there, mind-wise and in thought. This is an important factor that should bind family together so that they can be a counted part of a unit and not be considered so different, changed and/or separated. We all know that there is strength in numbers and this also goes for families, who draw strength from each other. Each member of a family must help to complete each and every member of that family so that each one encourages each other in a positive manner during their own generation and for each generation that will come after them.

Paying special attention to Sidney's Arcadia, Spenser's Faerie Queene, and Shakespeare's romances, this study engages in sustained examination of chiasmus in early modern English literature. The author's approach leads to the recovery of hidden designs which are shown to animate important works of literature; along the way Engel offers fresh and more comprehensive interpretations of seemingly shopworn conventions such as memento mori conceits, echo poems, and the staging of deus ex machina. The study, grounded in the philosophy of symbolic forms (following Ernst Cassirer), will be a valuable resource for readers interested in intellectual history and symbol theory, classical mythology and Renaissance iconography. Chiastic Designs affords a glimpse into the transformative power of allegory during the English Renaissance by addressing patterns that were part and parcel of early modern "mnemonic culture."
