Now reissued, "A Kitchen in Corfu" is an account of traditional life on a beautiful island, where produce grows abundantly - wild herbs, nuts and greenery in the hills; fish and shellfish in the sea; olive groves, grapevines and orchards. In Corfu, culinary influences from all over the Mediterranean have been absorbed and adapted to create a style of cooking unique in the world. This book presents a collection of 80 recipes, together with descriptions of people and places. The author details the customs surrounding the growing and preparation of food, and describes the daily round of friends and neighbours, capturing the authentic flavour of an hospitable and lively rural community.

The Cambridge Companion to Emily Dickinson

Cambridge University Press

The Cambridge Introduction to Emily Dickinson (Cambridge Introductions to Literature)

Emily Dickinson is best known as an intensely private, even reclusive writer. Yet the way she has been mythologised has meant her work is often misunderstood. This introduction delves behind the myth to present a poet who was deeply engaged with the issues of her day. In a lucid and elegant style, the book places her life and work in the historical context of the Civil War, the suffrage movement, and the rapid industrialisation of the United States. Wendy Martin explores the ways in which Dickinson's personal struggles with romantic love, religious faith, friendship and community shape her poetry. The complex publication history of her works, as well as their reception, is teased out, and a guide to further reading is included. Dickinson emerges not only as one of America's finest poets, but also as a fiercely independent intellect and an original talent writing poetry far ahead of her time.

iUniverse

This historically arranged anthology of short fiction by top American and international writers provides a comprehensive collection of both the classic stories as well as the most effective, relevant, and engaging modern and contemporary short stories. Through four distinct historical units, the author looks at the development of the short story as a genre. The historical introductions and visual spreads that begin each unit help instructors and students place the stories they read in a broader context. In addition to delineating the history and future of the short story, the anthology provides a comprehensive collection of classical and traditional stories and demonstrates the liveliness, flexibility, and dynamic nature of the genre. This dual focus grounds students in the tradition of the short story genre and gives them an appreciation for its contemporary context. Unlike many introductions to short fiction, this anthology includes a strong representation of newer works by international and American writers.
