In his bleak, claustrophobic universe, there is no God, no morality, no human affection, and no hope. Power is given to the strong, and the strong are murderers, torturers, and tyrants. No quarter is given; compassion is the virtue of the weak. Yet Sade was ... Read more

  • The Late Poetry of the Lake Poets

    Romanticism Revised

    by Tim Fulford ...
    Series Book 104 - Cambridge Studies in Romanticism

Ambitious in its scope, the volume is divided into ... Read more

  • English Revenge Drama

    Money, Resistance, Equality

    by Linda Woodbridge ...

    Emulating Spain in English Literature
