Back to the Classics 2020 Wrapup

By -

There is so much to write about and so little time before the end of the year!  Between books, wrap-ups, and fixing up for next year, I'm feeling a little indecisive about what to start with.  Then I go scroll through Facebook and utterly fail to write anything.  So let's get going already....

 Karen requires a wrap-up post if we want to win a prize, which is a nice way to look back at some of the cool stuff I read this year.  I have to say, nearly all of these books turned out to be fantastic in their different ways, and I recommend any of them.  If I have to pick a favorite, it may have to be Red Cavalry, but I loved them all.

1.  A 19th Century Classic --   The Uncommercial Traveller, by Charles Dickens
2.  A 20th Century Classic --  Red Cavalry, by Isaac Babel
3.  A Classic by a Woman Author.  Subtly Worded, by Teffi
4.  A Classic in Translation.--  The Dark Child, by Camara Laye
5.  A Classic by a Person of Color. -- Passing, by Nella Larsen
6. A Genre Classic. -- The Metal Monster, by A. Merritt
7. Classic with a Person's Name in the Title. -- Oroonoko, by Aphra Behn
8. Classic with a Place in the Title. -- Akenfield, by Ronald Blythe
9. Classic with Nature in the Title. --  Virgin Soil, by Turgenev
10. Classic About a Family. --  The Fortunes of Richard Mahony, by Henry Handel Richardson (Ethel)
11. Abandoned Classic. --  The Golden Bough, by Sir James Frazer
12. Classic Adaptation. -- Stories of M. R. James

The Four Ages of Poetry

  "The Four Ages of Poetry," by Thomas Love Peacock I am becoming fond of Thomas Love Peacock.  Besides his unbeatable name, he was a lot of fun.  Peacock was a minor literary figure of the early 19th century; he tried his hand at poetry but mainly succeeded in satire.  I read his short novel Nightmare Abbey last year, but at the time I didn't know that the young hero of the story, Scythrop, was modeled on Peacock's good friend Percy Shelley.  He and Shelley were quite close and Peacock was the executor of Shelley's will. Thomas Love Peacock Percy Bysshe Shelley "The Four Ages of Poetry," a tongue-in-cheek essay on the history and development of poetry, was published in 1820 in a new magazine called Literary Miscellany , which promptly died.  It would probably have been completely obscure and unknown--it nearly is anyway--but for Shelley.  Peacock sent a copy to his friend, who I guess didn't really have much of a sense of...

A few short stories in Urdu

 Back in August, I got hold of a book of Urdu short stories translated into English.  It's a large book, so I wanted to read just the women authors for WIT, and that would still be a good amount.  August got away from me, and I only read one or two stories back then, but I've continued reading them since.  I've now finished all the short stories in the book that were written by women (luckily for me, there are short biographies in an appendix, since I could only tell from the name about half the time).  I'll just highlight a couple: "The Wagon," by Khalida Asghar, is a hallucinatory, apocalyptic story.  The narrator meets three strange men who are watching the evening sky and point out that it has become red.  No one had noticed until they said so, but the sky is now strangely red.  Then a smell arrives, so offensive and sickening that it causes real pain -- but only once it's pointed out.  And finally, a mysterious wagon, which may be the s...

Faerie Queen Readalong I: Redcrosse, the Knight of Holiness

By -

I did it, I read all of Book I!  My minimum requirement was two cantos a day, but I managed three a couple of times.  I'm hoping to read ahead, because I'll be gone for two weeks in the middle of this event and I'd like to be able to prep a post ahead of time...but the schedule is already pretty demanding.  The reading is not terribly difficult, but it is slow.  I keep thinking that I've read a large chunk, only to look back and realize that in fact I have read six verses.  So here we go with analysis... Each book in the Faerie Queene features a knight, and a story, about a particular virtue.  The Redcrosse Knight, to be known as St. George after he accomplishes his feats, is all about Holinesse .  This does not mean that Redcrosse already exemplifies holiness; he doesn't.  Holiness is what he's working towards and struggling with.  His foes symbolize various forms of unholiness, and he falls into their clutches at least as often as he ...
