Beschrijving The Charles Eliot Norton Lectures: The Origin of Others

What is race and why does it matter? Why does the presence of Others make us so afraid? America's foremost novelist reflects on themes that preoccupy her work and dominate politics: race, fear, borders, mass movement of peoples, desire for belonging. Ta-Nehisi Coates provides a foreword to Toni Morrison's most personal work of nonfiction to date.

The Homeric Doloneia

The Doloneia is the most controversial book of the Iliad, its authenticity being doubted since antiquity. But by applying sophisticated interpretive tools, this book maintains that Iliad 10 was not composed by a single poet, that it is thematically consonant with the rest of the Iliad, and that it has evolved from an earlier Iliadic version.

Poetry of the Second World War

This new anthology brings together a generous selection of famous wartime poets alongside works by civilians and soldiers, offering a symphony of different voices, all connected in their shared experience of the Second World War.
