Jordan begins with the heirloom tomato, inquiring into its botanical origins in South America and its culinary beginnings in Aztec cooking to show how the homely and homegrown tomato has since grown to be an object of wealth and taste, as well as a popular symbol of the farm-to-table and heritage foods movements. Reveals secrets for preparing simple Mediterranean cuisine, including recipes from Sorrento, Naples, Alexandria, Cairo, and Marrakesh. The book concludes with a chapter on the enjoyment of food which encapsulates Grigson's approach to cooking along with the experience of reading this book.

  • 'I Should Want Nothing More': Edward Thomas and Simplicity
    Journal of the British Academy, 7, 89–121. DOI https://doi.org/10.5871/jba/007.089 Posted 4 November 2019. © The British Academy 2019 ‘I should want nothing more’: Edward Thomas and simplicity Chatterton Lecture on Poetry read 1 November 2018 GUY CUTHBERTSON Abstract: In the years before the First World War, the ‘Simple Life’ became somewhat fashionable, and Edward Thomas (1878–1917) was one of those Edwardians who were attracted to simplicity, both as a way of life and as a way of writing. As a book reviewer and biographer, he greatly admired simplicity in literature (as seen in, among others, William Cobbett, W. H. Davies, J. M. Synge and Robert Frost). His prose moved towards plainness, and his poetry is beautifully simple. This simplicity has been problematic, however. His poetry is unsuited to the decoding and exegesis (which might be suited to Modernism) that universities seek to conduct. Academics studying his poetry have allowed themselves to believe that they have found complexity, hidden beneath superficial simplicity, whereas in fact Thomas is a poet of genuine bareness, clear-as-glass honesty, magical brevity and childlike simplicity. His simplicity has been popular, and seems to suit some 21st-century fashions. Keywords: the Simple Life, simplicity, complexity, Edwardians, universities, First World War, Modernism, Robert Frost, William Cobbett, J. M. Synge In the decade or so before the First World War, simplicity became somewhat fashionable—indeed it was a religion for some. This craze is captured rather wonderfully in the Edwardian hit musical The Arcadians (1909), where the central character is given the name ‘Simplicitas’, idyllic Arcady is recreated in London at a successful new health food restaurant and men are ‘keen as a knife / On the simple life’.1 Although some might want it otherwise, Edward Thomas was part of this atmos- phere.

Graham, Dylan Thomas and Vernon Watkins The circulation of goods follows that of men women and children, of festival ritual, ceremonies and dances, jokes and injuries. Basically they are the same. If things are given and returned it is precisely because one gives and returns ‘respects’ and ‘courtesies’. But in addition, in giving them, a man gives himself, and he does so because he owes himself – himself and his possessions – to others. Marcel Mauss.1 I ‘Portrait of a Friend’ is one of Vernon Watkins better-known poems. This is partly because the friend in question is Dylan Thomas. Not that it is Watkins’s only poem on or for Thomas: Watkins’s widow, Gwen, has found enough to produce a whole volume of Poems for Dylan.2 Nevertheless, the others, most of which date from after Thomas’s death, are nowhere near as good nor as interesting as this poem written when Thomas was very much alive and when Watkins, though the elder poet, had yet to publish his first book.

  • Dylan Thomas - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Dylan Thomas - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Dylan Thomas(27 October 1914 – 9 November 1953) Dylan Marlais Thomas was a Welsh poet and writer who wrote exclusively in English. In addition to poetry, he wrote short stories and scripts for film and radio, which he often performed himself. His public readings, particularly in America, won him great acclaim; his sonorous voice with a subtle Welsh lilt became almost as famous as his works. His best-known works include the "play for voices" Under Milk Wood and the celebrated villanelle for his dying father, "Do not go gentle into that good night". Appreciative critics have also noted the craftsmanship and compression of poems such as "In my Craft or Sullen Art", and the rhapsodic lyricism in "And death shall have no dominion" and "Fern Hill". <b>Early Life</b> Dylan Thomas was born in the Uplands area of Swansea, Glamorgan, Wales, on 27 October 1914 just a few months after the Thomas family had bought the house. Uplands was, and still is, one of the more affluent areas of the city. His father, David John ('DJ') Thomas (1876–1952), had attained a first-class honours degree in English at University College, Aberystwyth, and was dissatisfied with his position at the local grammar school as an English master who taught English literature. His mother, Florence Hannah Thomas (née Williams) (1882–1958), was a seamstress born in Swansea. Nancy, Thomas's sister, (Nancy Marles 1906–1953) was nine years older than he. Their father brought up both children to speak only English, even though he and his wife were both bilingual in English and Welsh.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract The study aims to provide a detailed analysis of Stephen Spender’s verse up to 1935, with particular attention to his use of the language of contemporary political discourse. It examines the interrelation of Spender’s poetry with the literary milieu of late modernism within which it first appeared, analysing the reception of his published volumes and the dissemination of early critical ideas about his writing. The texts which provide the basis for the study are Nine Experiments (1928), Twenty Poems (1930), Poems (1933/1934) and Vienna (1934). Also examined is the concurrent development of Spender’s reputation under the editorship of Michael Roberts (the anthologies New Signatures and New Country) and Geoffrey Grigson (the periodical New Verse), whose disparate analyses of Spender’s strengths identify his conflicting allegiances to socialist thought and to literary tradition.

  • Introduction
    Introduction In our age the discovery and study of single-celled organisms has been followed by a search after the units, the source, the primitive form of expression; and no artist can live by himself, or live altogether in, or by, the impressions once vivid in the eyes of a dead generation.1 Geoffrey Grigson, Henry Moore, 1943 In the decade following the Great Depression and leading up to the Second World War, British society experienced a period of extraordinary cultural innovation, in which the impact of interwar regeneration and discovery uprooted old certainties, leading to an avowedly modern refashioning of British sculpture and biology. The emergence of a legitimate avant-garde as a response to the deadening influence of neo-classicism on contemporary art would lead to the birth of a new movement in sculpture – a powerful expression of artistic modernity that would, perhaps surprisingly, find an intellectual counterpart in the revisionary philosophy of modern biology. In his monograph Henry Moore (1943), the critic Geoffrey Grigson identified a common vision that drew together both Modernist sculpture and biology, censuring those who saw contemporary art as symptomatic of a ‘distorted vision and […] disordered mind’, by claiming that, while not everyone may ‘be familiar with the cells and organs and elements of life […]. Biology must be ac- knowledged’.2 A poet by vocation, Grigson founded the literary review New Verse in 1933 and would later acquire celebrity in art history for his introduction – in 1935 – of the term ‘biomorphism’

Émilie Oléron Evans In a career spanning two countries, two cultures and five decades, and as a pioneer of numerous fields, from mannerism, to the Modern Movement, to English art, Leipzig-born art and architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner (1902-1983) earned himself a reputation both as an expert and as a polymath, and (to quote broadcaster and essayist Jonathan Meades) assumed the place in British culture of a ‘secular saint’.1 However, there is an inherent fragility in this position of outsider: in spite of being acclaimed as a national institution, Pevsner met with only partial acceptance from the establishment. As the solidity of his expertise was over-stretched by the scope of the subjects he tackled, the patron saint of art history in and of Britain often became a likely target of iconoclasm. Pevsner himself acknowledged the fact that after his dismissal from the University of Göttingen in 1933 on the grounds of his Jewish origins, the career that he attempted to rebuild in England had necessarily been ad hoc. In one of the radio talks featured in the collection under review, he stated: ‘My own work, you can take it from me, is entirely eclectic and yet seems to meet a demand.’2 This talk was given in 1952, after enough time had passed to allow the émigré scholar to take stock and realise that the professional trajectory that he had hoped to follow in Germany had not only been geographically diverted, but was also taking him further and further from his goal of specialising in a particular topic.

  • Demetrios Capetanakis: a Greek Poet in England*
    Demetrios Capetanakis: A Greek Poet in England* by DAVID RICKS Many English readers will have read Capetanakis's poems "Abel" and "The Isles of Greece" in the fifth book appended to Palgrave's Golden Treasury, by John Press in 1964. 1- Although a number of the most eminent Greek men of letters settled permanently in England—here one might single out the classic figures of demoticism, Pallis, Eftaliotis, and Vlasto—it's a sur- prise to be reading through a standard anthology of English verse and to come across a Greek name. 2 Some readers have then gone on to discover the posthumous book on which Capetanakis's English reputation rests. This slim and elegant volume, Demetrios Capetanakis: A Greek Poet in England, ap- peared in 1947, three years after the poet's death, edited and published by his friend John Lehmann. It must have enjoyed reasonable sales at the time, for it was reprinted in a New York edition in 1949 with the title The Shores of Darkness!' It would be fair, however, to say that the success of the dead poet was rather d' estime, and he is today little known as a poet in Eng- land. Indeed, the 1944 edition of Press's anthology has squeezed Capetanakis out.' Where, then, does Capetanakis's interest as an English poet lie? For the poet's own friends, whether Greek or British, there was, in the first place, a sense that his efforts in the exploration and the practice of an adopted literature—conducted *This essay is based on a lecture given at the British Council in Athens at a commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of Capetanakis's death, and later in a revised form at the Council's Thessaloniki branch.

Hang the cost in moral uplift’.2 These are curious observations; as Henry King has noted in response, topography and theology are not so glibly to be distinguished: Logan either misunderstands or does a deliberate injustice to Hill’s poetry in thinking of these two aspects as discrete alternatives.
