The History of Currency, 1252 to 1896 Enriched edition. Unraveling the Evolution of Currency: From Medieval Times to the Late 19th Century【電子書籍】[ William Arthur Shaw ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The History of Currency, 1252 to 1896," William Arthur Shaw meticulously examines the evolution of monetary systems across centuries, offering a comprehensive analysis of currency's role in shaping economic landscapes. Shaw employs a scholarly yet accessible literary style, weaving together historical documents, quantitative data, and anecdotal narratives that shed light on how currency impacted trade, governance, and social change. This work not only reflects the author's deep engagement with economic history but also situates itself within the broader context of pre-modern and modern economic theory, challenging readers to reconsider the significance of currency in societal development. Shaw, a distinguished economist and historian, brings a wealth of intellectual rigor to this study, likely influenced by his experiences observing the rapid industrialization of his time, which transformed traditional notions of currency. His earlier works in both economics and English history suggest a lifelong fascination with the intersection of money and society. Through meticulous research, Shaw's insights into various currencies, from commodities to paper notes, reveal an understanding of how these transactions shape human interaction and societal structures. I highly recommend "The History of Currency, 1252 to 1896" for anyone interested in economic history, policy-making, and the evolving nature of financial systems. Shaw's clear prose and analytical depth make this book an essential read for historians, economists, and casual readers alike, providing valuable lessons on the long-term implications of currency practices in contemporary society. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - Handーpicked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 300円

The Legend of St. Julian the Hospitable Enriched edition. A Medieval Tale of Morality and Redemption【電子書籍】[ Gustave Flaubert ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "The Legend of St. Julian the Hospitable," Gustave Flaubert presents a richly textured narrative that intertwines the themes of fate, sacrifice, and redemptive compassion. Set against a backdrop of medieval chivalry, Flaubert employs a lush, evocative prose style that marries realism with elements of the fantastic. The narrative follows the life of St. Julian, a nobleman destined to become a martyr through his violent past and subsequent acts of compassion. Flaubert's exploration of the dualities of human nature breathes life into the legendary figure, further emphasizing the tension between innate brutality and the quest for redemption'ーan element deeply rooted in the Romantic literary movement yet distinct through Flaubert's meticulous attention to detail and character psychology. Flaubert, known for his groundbreaking works such as "Madame Bovary," was greatly influenced by his interests in both literature and philosophy. His deep engagement with historical and religious texts provided the foundation for this retelling of a medieval legend. This novella reflects Flaubert's lifelong fascination with the complexities of the human psyche and the moral labyrinths individuals navigate, making it a significant precursor to his later, more critically acclaimed narratives. "The Legend of St. Julian the Hospitable" is an essential read for those interested in the intersections of morality and storytelling. Flaubert's masterful articulation of these themes, alongside his distinct narrative style, offers readers a profound meditation on the nature of humanity, making it an enriching addition to any literary collection. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - A succinct Introduction situates the work's timeless appeal and themes. - The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists. - A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the era's events and influences that shaped the writing. - An Author Biography reveals milestones in the author's life, illuminating the personal insights behind the text. - A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings. - Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the work's messages, connecting them to modern life. - Handーpicked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 300円

The Medieval Christian Philosophers An Introduction【電子書籍】[ Richard Cross ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The High Middle Ages were remarkable for their coherent sense of 'Christendom': of people who belonged to a homogeneous Christian society marked by uniform rituals of birth and death and worship. That uniformity, which came under increasing strain as national European characteristics became more pronounced, achieved perhaps its most perfect intellectual expression in the thought of the western Christian thinkers who are sometimes called 'scholastic theologians'. These philosophers produced (during roughly the period 1050-1350 CE) a cohesive body of work from their practice of theology as an academic discipline in the university faculties of their day. Richard Cross' elegant and stylish textbook - designed specifically for modern-day undergraduate use on medieval theology and philosophy courses - offers the first focused introduction to these thinkers based on the individuals themselves and their central preoccupations.<br /> The book discusses influential figures like Abelard, Peter Lombard and Hugh of St Victor; the use made by Aquinas of Aristotle; the mystical theology of Bonaventure; Robert Grosseteste's and Roger Bacon's interest in optics; the complex metaphysics of Duns Scotus; and the political thought of Marsilius of Padua and William of Ockham. Key themes of medieval theology, including famous axioms like 'Ockham's Razor', are here made fully intelligible and transparent.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,104円

Medieval Iberian Crusade Fiction and the Mediterranean World【電子書籍】[ David A. Wacks ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Reading crusader fiction against the backdrop of Mediterranean history, this book explains how Iberian authors reimagined the idea of crusade through the lens of Iberian geopolitics and social history. The crusades transformed Mediterranean history and inaugurated complex engagements between Western Europe, the Balkans, North Africa, and the Middle East in ways that endure to this day. Narratives of crusades powerfully shaped European thinking about the East and continue to influence the representation of interactions between Christian and Muslim states in the region.</p> <p>The crusade, a French idea that gave rise to Iberian, North African, and Levantine campaigns, was very much a Mediterranean phenomenon. French and English authors wrote itineraries in the Holy Land, chronicles of the crusades, and fanciful accounts of Christian knights who championed the Latin Church in the East. This study aims to explore the ways in which Iberian authors imagined their role in the culture of crusade, both as participants and interpreters of narrative traditions of the crusading world from north of the Pyrenees.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,638円

Robin Hood A Timeless Tale of Heroism, Adventure, and Justice in Medieval England【電子書籍】[ Paul Creswick ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In Paul Creswick's 'Robin Hood,' readers are transported into the heart of Sherwood Forest, where the legendary outlaw and his band of Merry Men challenge the oppressive norms of medieval England. Creswick's narrative style is characterized by evocative descriptions and a rhythmic prose that captures the essence of folklore while weaving in themes of justice, camaraderie, and rebellion. The book embodies a blend of adventure and romance, beautifully encapsulating the socio-political climate of the time, providing not only an engaging story but also a lens into the class struggles faced by common folk during the period of Robin Hood's lore. Paul Creswick, an English writer and historian, carved a niche in children's literature through his passionate retelling of traditional tales. His deep admiration for folklore, particularly the tales surrounding Robin Hood, stems from his desire to reinterpret these narratives for younger audiences, enriching their understanding of heroism and morality. Creswick'??s background in history and storytelling has lent his work a unique authenticity, allowing readers to connect with both the characters and the era depicted. This reimagining of a classic tale is highly recommended for readers of all ages who seek thrilling escapades combined with valuable life lessons. Creswick'??s 'Robin Hood' not only entertains but also ignites a sense of justice within, making it a timeless read that resonates with contemporary issues.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 310円

An Introduction to Medieval Theology【電子書籍】[ Rik van Nieuwenhove ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Medieval theology, in all its diversity, was radically theo-centric, Trinitarian, Scriptural and sacramental. It also operated with a profound view of human understanding (in terms of intellectus rather than mere ratio). In a post-modern climate, in which the modern views on 'autonomous reason' are increasingly being questioned, it may prove fruitful to re-engage with pre-modern thinkers who, obviously, did not share our modern and post-modern presuppositions. Their different perspective does not antiquate their thought, as some of the 'cultured despisers' of medieval thought might imagine. On the contrary, rather than rendering their views obsolete it makes them profoundly challenging and enriching for theology today. This book is more than a survey of key medieval thinkers (from Augustine to the late-medieval period); it is an invitation to think along with major theologians and explore how their thought can deeply challenge some of today's modern and post-modern key assumptions.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 4,688円

The Life and Miracles of St. William of Norwich The Recovered Medieval Manuscript【電子書籍】[ Thomas of Monmouth ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The Life and Miracles of St. William of Norwich is the medieval hagiography written in 1173. It tells the life story of a real personality, known as William of Norwich, that was supposedly tortured and killed by the Jewish community in the Medieval city of Norwich. The author of the scripture heard and recorded the story from a former Jew, Theobald of Cambridge. The story tells the life of William in the Jewish community that treated him well, at first. But later, they tortured him, mocking the Bible scenes of the crucifixion. This story by Monmouth had a significant effect. It started the intense discrimination against the Jewish community and eventually led to expelling Jews from England by King Edward I order.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 440円

Warfare and the Making of Early Medieval Italy (568?652)【電子書籍】[ Eduardo Fabbro ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Devastated by two decades of war and ravaged by the spread of the plague, large parts of Italy fell quickly into the hands of a group known to history as the Lombards. By the early 570s the Lombards were firmly established in Italy, which they ruled without ever fully unifying it. The events of the late sixth century shaped early medieval Italy. They also affected how Italian history was written: the Lombards were blamed for plunging the peninsula into the darkness of the Middle Ages, finally ending Roman civilization. But was it really a ‘barbarian invasion’ that created medieval Italy? What was the role of the imperial authorities and the papacy? In <em>Warfare and the Making of Early Medieval Italy</em>, Eduardo Fabbro brings a new take on the changes that shook Italy at the end of the sixth century. Moving past traditional narratives of barbarians and battles, the book re-evaluates the impact of war in creating early medieval Italy. Fabbro brings to the fore a complex picture that includes not only invading barbarians but also rebelling soldiers, disgruntled farmers, vexed commanders, and cunning adventurers trying to make the best of a bad situation. Through a complete reassessment of contemporary and later sources, this book rewrites the history of the first decades of Lombard rule and shows that warfare’s impact went far beyond battles and invasions; it rewired the social and political links that bound the region.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,279円

The Field of Blood The Battle for Aleppo and the Remaking of the Medieval Middle East【電子書籍】[ Nicholas Morton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A history of the 1119 Battle of the Field of Blood, which decisively halted the momentum gained during the First Crusade and decided the fate of the Crusader states</strong></p> <p>During the First Crusade, Frankish armies swept across the Middle East, capturing major cities and setting up the Crusader States in the Levant. A sustained Western conquest of the region appeared utterly inevitable. Why, then, did the crusades ultimately fail?</p> <p>To answer this question, historian Nicholas Morton focuses on a period of bitter conflict between the Franks and their Turkish enemies, when both factions were locked in a struggle for supremacy over the city of Aleppo. For the Franks, Aleppo was key to securing dominance over the entire region. For the Turks, this was nothing less than a battle for survival -- without Aleppo they would have little hope of ever repelling the European invaders. This conflict came to a head at the Battle of the Field of Blood in 1199, and the face of the Middle East was forever changed.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,344円

Reconquest and Crusade in Medieval Spain【電子書籍】[ Joseph F. O'Callaghan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Drawing from both Christian and Islamic sources, <em>Reconquest and Crusade in Medieval Spain</em> demonstrates that the clash of arms between Christians and Muslims in the Iberian peninsula that began in the early eighth century was transformed into a crusade by the papacy during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Successive popes accorded to Christian warriors willing to participate in the peninsular wars against Islam the same crusading benefits offered to those going to the Holy Land. Joseph F. O'Callaghan clearly demonstrates that any study of the history of the crusades must take a broader view of the Mediterranean to include medieval Spain.</p> <p>Following a chronological overview of crusading in the Iberian peninsula from the late eleventh to the middle of the thirteenth century, O'Callaghan proceeds to the study of warfare, military finance, and the liturgy of reconquest and crusading. He concludes his book with a consideration of the later stages of reconquest and crusade up to and including the fall of Granada in 1492, while noting that the spiritual benefits of crusading bulls were still offered to the Spanish until the Second Vatican Council of 1963.</p> <p>Although the conflict described in this book occurred more than eight hundred years ago, recent events remind the world that the intensity of belief, rhetoric, and action that gave birth to crusade, holy war, and jihad remains a powerful force in the twenty-first century.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,549円

<p><em>Medieval Persia 1040-1797</em> charts the remarkable history of Persia from its conquest by the Muslim Arabs in the seventh century AD to the modern period at the end of the eighteenth century, when the impact of the west became pervasive. David Morgan argues that understanding this complex period of Persia’s history is integral to understanding modern Iran and its significant role on the international scene.</p> <p>The book begins with a geographical introduction and briefly summarises Persian history during the early Islamic centuries to place the country’s Middle Ages in their historical context. It then charts the arrival of the Salj?q Turks in the eleventh century and discusses in turn the major political powers of the period: Mongols, Timurids, T?rkmen and Safawids. The chronological narrative enables students to identify change and consistencies under each ruling dynasty, while Persia’s rich social, cultural, religious and economic history is also woven throughout to present a complete picture of life in Medieval Persia. Despite the turbulent backdrop, which saw Persia ruled by a succession of groups who had seized power by military force, arts, painting, poetry, literature and architecture all flourished in the period.</p> <p>This new edition contains a new epilogue which discusses the significant literature of the last 28 years to provide students with a comprehensive overview of the latest historiographical trends in Persian history. Concise and clear, this book is the perfect introduction for students of medieval Persia and the medieval Middle East.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 12,210円

Everyday Life in Medieval London From the Anglo-Saxons to the Tudors【電子書籍】[ Toni Mount ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Our capital city has always been a thriving and colourful place, full of diverse and determined individuals developing trade and finance, exchanging gossip and doing business. Abandoned by the Romans, rebuilt by the Saxons, occupied by the Vikings and reconstructed by the Normans, London would become the largest trade and financial centre, dominating the world in later centuries. London has always been a brilliant, vibrant and eclectic place ? Henry V was given a triumphal procession there after his return from Agincourt and the Lord Mayor’s river pageant was an annual medieval spectacular. William the Conqueror built the Tower, Thomas Becket was born in Cheapside, Wat Tyler led the peasants in revolt across London Bridge and Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales was the first book produced on Caxton’s new printing press in Westminster. But beneath the colour and pageantry lay dirt, discomfort and disease, the daily grind for ordinary folk. Like us, they had family problems, work worries, health concerns and wondered about the weather.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,400円

<p>In "Medi√¶val Heresy & the Inquisition," Arthur Stanley Turberville offers a rigorous examination of the socio-political and theological dimensions of heresy during the Middle Ages. This compelling work weaves together historical narratives with detailed analyses of ecclesiastical texts, illuminating the fervent conflicts between orthodox Christianity and various dissenting movements. Turberville's prose is characterized by clarity and precision, allowing readers to navigate the complexities of medieval thought while he meticulously unpacks how heretical beliefs challenged the church's authority and the resultant mechanisms of the Inquisition meant to suppress them. The book's scholarly approach situates it firmly within the broader context of medieval studies and religious history, making it an invaluable resource for understanding how heresy was perceived and addressed during this tumultuous period. Turberville himself was deeply influenced by the intellectual currents of his time, as well as by the legacies of earlier historians exploring the tensions between faith and reason. His profound interest in the intersection of social power and religious belief led him to delve into the dark aspects of medieval ecclesiastical power and its impact on societal norms, paving the way for his critical insights in this work. I highly recommend "Medi√¶val Heresy & the Inquisition" to scholars, students, and anyone interested in the intricate dynamics of faith and ideology in medieval Europe. Turberville's thorough research and engaging writing style make this book essential for grasping the historical and philosophical underpinnings of heresy and the Inquisition.

A Short History of Medieval Europe【電子書籍】[ Oliver J. Thatcher ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The whole course of history is very conveniently divided into three periodsーthe Ancient, the Medieval, and the Modern. Generally, fixed dates have been assigned for the beginning and end of each of these. They have then been further divided and subdivided, and each division has received a particular name. While this has been more or less convenient and justifiable, the divisions have often been treated so mechanically as to make a totally wrong impression, especially on the minds of students who are just beginning the study; for if there is anything that is firmly held by all good historians to-day, it is the continuity of history. There are no real breaks in its course. Every age is a preparation for. and an introduction to, the next.<br /> One period grows into another so gradually and naturally that the people who live in the time of transition are often utterly unconscious of the fact that a new period is beginning. Certain events may well be said to be epoch-making, but in spite of that their full effect is not felt at once. They slowly modify the existing order of things, and the old is gradually displaced by the new. The world is never actually revolutionized in a day.<br /> It is not wrong to separate history into such periods, for different interests prevail at different times, and, therefore, one period may have a very different character from that of another. But in making all such divisions two things should be carefully guarded against: fixed boundaries should not be assigned to them, and they should not be treated as if their predominant interest were their only interest. No one interest can absorb the whole life of a period. For several centuries the life of Europe has been too complex to admit of its being adequately treated from only one point of view.<br /> The terms “Medieval” and “Middle Age” have been used because of their convenience. That which brought about the great change in Europe was the invasions of the Barbarians, and these began on a grand scale in the fourth century. The end of the period is not perhaps so easily determined, but the period from 1450 to 1550 is marked by such movements as the great religious revolution, which involved all western Europe and was productive of many changes, the growth of absolutism in Europe, the changes in the practical government of many of the countries, the birth of political science, the multiplication of international relations, and the extension of industry and commerce, so that we may safely say that the Middle Age should end somewhere about that time. At any rate, a convenient place may there be found where one may stop and mark the failing of old, and the appearance of new, tendencies and characteristics...</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 146円

The Mongol Storm Making and Breaking Empires in the Medieval Near East【電子書籍】[ Nicholas Morton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>How the Mongol invasions of the Near East reshaped the balance of world power in the Middle Ages</strong></p> <p>For centuries, the Crusades have been central to the story of the medieval Near East, but these religious wars are only part of the region’s complex history. As <em>The Mongol Storm</em> reveals, during the same era the Near East was utterly remade by another series of wars: the Mongol invasions.</p> <p>In a single generation, the Mongols conquered vast swaths of the Near East and upended the region’s geopolitics. Amid the chaos of the Mongol onslaught, long-standing powers such as the Byzantines, the Seljuk Turks, and the crusaders struggled to survive, while new players such as the Ottomans arose to fight back. The Mongol conquests forever transformed the region, while forging closer ties among societies spread across Eurasia.</p> <p>This is the definitive history of the Mongol assault on the Near East and its enduring global consequences.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,605円

Chaucer A Comprehensive Exploration of Medieval Poetry and Literary Genius【電子書籍】[ G.K. Chesterton ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Chaucer," G.K. Chesterton offers a perceptive and engaging exploration of the life and works of Geoffrey Chaucer, often hailed as the father of English literature. Written in Chesterton'??s characteristic witty and nuanced style, the book delves into Chaucer's rich tapestry of characters and themes, examining the social, political, and moral landscapes of 14th-century England. With keen critical insight, Chesterton situates Chaucer within the broader context of literary history, highlighting his innovative narrative techniques and the depth of his humanism, which resonates profoundly with modern readers. G.K. Chesterton, a prolific writer and social commentator of the early 20th century, drew upon his extensive knowledge of literature and philosophy to craft this insightful biography. His admiration for Chaucer was evident throughout his career, as Chesterton viewed Chaucer's work as a reflection of the humanity within us all. This admiration is rooted in Chesterton'??s own experiences with the struggles of modernity, as he sought to illuminate faith, truth, and the complexities of human nature. "Chaucer" is an essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of English literature and the enduring relevance of its themes. Chesterton'??s lively prose invites readers to not only rediscover Chaucer's works but also to appreciate their implications in contemporary society. This book is a profound homage to a literary giant that promises to inspire and challenge its audience.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 310円

The Pied Piper of Hamelin (Complete Edition) A medieval Hamelin legend of rats, a magic pipe, and retributionーretold with jingling rhymes and dark humor【電子書籍】[ Robert Browning ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This carefully crafted ebook: "The Pied Piper of Hamelin (Complete Edition)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Pied Piper of Hamelin is the subject of a legend concerning the disappearance or death of a great number of kids from the town of Hamelin (Hameln), Lower Saxony, Germany, in the Middle Ages. The earliest references describe a piper, dressed in multicolored ("pied") clothing, leading the kids away from the town never to return. In the 16th century the story was expanded into a full narrative, in which the piper is a rat-catcher hired by the town to lure rats away with his magic pipe. When the citizens refuse to pay for this service, he retaliates by turning his power that he put in his instrument on their children, leading them away as he had the rats. This version of the story spread as folklore and has also appeared in the writings of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the Brothers Grimm and Robert Browning, among others. Using the Verstegan/Wanley version of the tale and adopting the 1376 date, Browning's verse retelling is notable for its humor, wordplay, and jingling rhymes. Robert Browning (1812?1889) was an English poet and playwright whose mastery of dramatic verse, and in particular the dramatic monologue, made him one of the foremost Victorian poets. His poems are known for their irony, characterization, dark humor, social commentary, historical settings, and challenging vocabulary and syntax. The speakers in his poems are often musicians or painters whose work functions as a metaphor for poetry.
