The Castle of Otranto
AuthorHorace Walpole
ISBN0192834401
First published pseudonymously in 1764, The Castle of Otranto purported to be a translation of an Italian story of the time of the crusades. In it Walpole attempted, as he declared in the Preface to the Second Edition, "to blend the two kinds of romance: the ancient and the modern." Crammed with invention,...

Written on the Body
AuthorJeanette Winterson
ISBN0679744479
Written on the Body is a secret code only visible in certain lights: the accumulation of a lifetime gather there. In places the palimpsest is so heavily worked that the letters feel like braille. I like to keep my body rolled away from prying eyes, never unfold too much, tell the whole story. I didn't know...
The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman
AuthorLaurence Sterne

Selected Poems, 1966-1987
AuthorSeamus Heaney
ISBN0374258686
Heaney’s poetry is more a voice than a style.
It seems to have been written to be listened to rather than to be thoroughly dissected and scrutinized.

The evocative tinge of children’s ideals and the brutality of a land divided by history and religion pulsate underneath the serene,...
The Complete English Poems
AuthorGeorge Herbert
ISBN0140424555
George Herbert combined the intellectual and the spiritual, the humble and the divine, to create some of the most moving devotional poetry in the English language. His deceptively simple verse uses the ingenious arguments typical of seventeenth-century 'metaphysical' poets, and unusual imagery...
Selected Poems
AuthorW.B. Yeats
ISBN0753816652
"All things can tempt me from this craft of verse: "
"One time it was a woman's face, or worse-"
"The seeming needs of my fool-driven land;"
"Now nothing but comes readier to the hand"
"Than this accustomed toil."
"--"From" All Things Can Tempt Me"
Nobel Prize winner W.B. Yeats...
