This book explores origins, manifestations, and functions of Pan-Slavism in contemporary Central and Eastern Europe, arguing that despite the extinction of Pan-Slavism as an articulated Romantic-era geopolitical ideology, a number of related discourses, metaphors, and emotions have spilled over into the mainstream debates and popular imagination. Using the term Slavophilia to capture the range of representations, the volume analyses how geopolitical discourses shape the identity and policies of a community, providing a comparative analysis that covers a range of Slavic countries in order to understand how Pan-Slavism works and resonates across geographic and political contexts.

This volume presents a generous selection of the best and most well-known poetry in English and American Literature, from the 16th to the 20th Century. Enjoyed by readers and students across the world, these poems constitute the classics of English language poetry, while also representing poets who have not officially been part of the "canon" until more recently. A variety of genres and forms of poetry are represented, from the traditional English 14-line sonnet to various free forms of modernist poetry, such as minimalism and imagism. Among the authors included are Shakespeare (of course!), Donne, Shelley, Keats, Whitman, Dickinson, T.S. Eliot, Stein, Yeats, Frost, William Carlos Williams, and so many more. Organized alphabetically by author, the volume makes it easy for readers to find the poets they already know and love, while also allowing them to browse for names they may have heard of but not explored much. Either way, these mostly short lyric poems inspire, comfort, challenge, and allow readers to both escape from daily life and also reflect deeply on history, nature, love, war, death and the human condition.
When Camille Sugarbaker Honeycutt, the pretty but crazy 1951 Vidalia Onion Queen, dies suddenly, her twelve-year-old daughter CeeCee has barely a hope left in the world. To her rescue arrives Great Aunt Tootie in the most magnificent car CeeCee has ever seen, and she is whisked away to the storybook city of Savannah. For some flowers, Aunt Tootie holds, are born to bloom only south of the Mason-Dixon line and soon, among the sweet scent of magnolias and the loving warmth of Tootie and her colourful collection of friends, it looks as though CeeCee has arrived in paradise. But when a darker side to the Southern dream threatens this delicate, newfound happiness, Aunt Tootie and her friends must rally to CeeCee's aid. Warm yet heartbreaking, and generously spiced with humor, Saving CeeCee Honeycutt is the story of a girl who loses her mother but finds many others under a balmy Georgia sun.
