"For the first time, with this three-volume companion, students can access the full literary and historical significance of the Aeneid in translation through a commentary that unpicks Virgil's literary techniques, structural forms and historical resonances. Written by an experienced teacher and expert on the Aeneid this is an authoritative and accessible guide to students and non-specialists in Latin literature alike. Volume 1 contains a broad contextual introduction; the commentary on Books 1-6 are in Volume 2; and the commentary to Books 7-12 are in Volume 3"--

With this three-volume companion, students can access the full literary and historical significance of the Aeneid in English through an accessible yet authoritative line-by-line commentary. Written by an experienced teacher and expert on the Aeneid, this guide unpicks Virgil's literary techniques, structural forms and historical resonances. The line-by-line commentary in Volume 2 focuses on two central translations of the Aeneid Books 1-6 (in verse by Robert Fagles and in prose by David West). Tanfield helps you understand the choices that translators make as they decide how to craft their own particular readings of the Aeneid. Plus, this companion includes extensive explanatory notes, context and a wide range of scholarly critique to ensure you have everything you need in one place. For a broad contextual introduction to the poem and its author, Volume 1 is available separately.

The atmospheric retelling of the Mermaid folktale

The Palace Beneath the Sea

A fresh and engaging celebration of the customs, places, objects and peoples that make up what we know as "folk." By its nature, folk is ephemeral: tricky to define, hard to preserve and even more difficult to resurrect. But folk culture is all around us; sitting in our churches, swinging from our pubs and dancing through our streets, patiently waiting to be discovered, appreciated, saved and cherished. &gt;In The Lost Folk, Lally MacBeth is on a mission to breathe new life into these rapidly disappearing customs. She reminds us that folk is for everyone, and does not belong to an imagined, halcyon past, but is constantly being drawn from everyday lives and communities. As well as looking at what folk customs have meant in Britain's past, she shines a light on what they can and should mean as we move into the future - encouraging us to use the book as an inspiration, and become collectors and creators of our very own folk traditions.

From the Forgotten Past to the Emerging Future of Folk

In accordance with ancient custom, a blessing ceremony takes place to bestow the princess with magical gifts - along with a terrible curse. But this is not the love story you may think you know.

Naomi Kelsey, author of THE BURNINGS 'I can't explain how much I enjoyed it. I can't even put it into words' Reader review 'A fantastic retelling of Sleeping Beauty which is a story I adore.

World Mythology in Theory and Everyday Life

Mythology of the San Bushmen of Southern Africa gives an in-depth account of San mythology and its connections to the religion, social organization, and ecological adaptations of this erstwhile hunting-gathering people. The mythology and cosmology of San Bushmen posits ongoing connections and interactions between actual, experienced reality and virtual, imagined myth time. Along with conflations of human with animal and woman/wife with antelope/meat, the trickster-god figure is central to San mythology. In this book Mathias Guenther places San mythology firmly in the context of world mythology.

"Surekha Davies turns the tables and looks at humankind through the burning eyes of the monsters it has created in its seemingly limitless effort to isolate otherness. A triumph of scholarship that is as erudite as it is entertaining."--Lindsey Fitzharris, New York Times-bestselling author of The Facemaker: A Visionary Surgeon's Battle to Mend the Disfigured Soldiers of World War I "To consider the monster is to consider what it means to be human, because it forces us to examine how we have prescribed those limits, whether in terms of race, sexuality, appearance, or capacities. So Davies's book could not be more timely or urgent. That it is constantly insightful, erudite, and entertaining makes it irresistible; I can imagine no more congenial way of arguing that, in the end, the monsters are us."--Philip Ball, author of The Book of Minds: How to Understand Ourselves and Other Beings, from Animals to AI to Aliens "In a fascinating upending of the usual analysis of monsters, Davies focuses on the humans who perpetrate 'monstrification, ' from scientists and sports doctors to pop stars and spiritual leaders. The monster here emerges less as a figure for identity than a metaphor for a cultural process, constantly under revision, that allows one group of humans to disavow the humanity of another. Thoughtful, wide-ranging, and fun."--Annalee Newitz, bestselling author of The Terraformers and Four Lost Cities: A Secret History of the Urban Age "A marvel of fast-paced storytelling and rigorous historical analysis. Davies takes readers on a journey across space and time, carefully reconstructing centuries-old processes of monster-making with wit and aplomb. In the process, we learn that monster-makers have policed the boundaries of humanity out of ignorance, fear, and hate, producing forms of legal and social exclusion that we all live with today. But there is also a sense of hope suffused throughout the pages of this book: hope that with knowledge, bravery, and love, we can recognize the humanity in all of us and chart more inclusive, less frightful futures."--Tamara J. Walker, author of Beyond the Shores: A History of African Americans Abroad

A history of how humans have created monsters out of one another—from our deepest fears—and what these monsters tell us about humanity's present and future. &nbsp; Monsters are central to how we think about the human condition. Join award-winning historian of science Dr. Surekha Davies as she reveals how people have defined the human in relation to everything from apes to zombies, and how they invented race, gender, and nations along the way. With rich, evocative storytelling that braids together ancient gods and generative AI, Frankenstein's monster and E.T., Humans: A Monstrous History shows how monster-making is about control: it defines who gets to count as normal. &nbsp; In an age when corporations increasingly see people as obstacles to profits, this book traces the long, volatile history of monster-making and charts a better path for the future. The result is a profound, effervescent, empowering retelling of the history of the world for anyone who wants to reverse rising inequality and polarization. This is not a history of monsters, but a history through monsters.
