Published : Saturday 1 April 2023
Description
The rhyme â?oMary Had a Little Lambâ?? told in the styleâ?"and substanceâ?"of the great English poets from Edmund Spenser to Stevie Smith. A In The Lamb Cycle, David R. Ewbank achieves the unthinkableâ?"he writes so convincingly in the style of the great English poets that one could be lulled into thinking that Shakespeare himself was inspired to muse upon the subject of â?oMary Had a Little Lamb.â?? Ewbank captures not only the style of each of the poets he chooses, but also their preoccupations and subject matter. So D.H. Lawrenceâ?Ts Mary longs for her lamb as any woman longing for her lover, whilst T.S. Eliotâ?Ts Mary is recollected by an old man looking back on his life. Alexander Pope writes an â?oAn Essay on Lambs,â?? and Tennysonâ?Ts lotus eaters become â?oThe Clover Eater.â?? Brilliantly written, sophisticated, and laugh-out-loud funny, these poems, enhanced by Kate Feifferâ?Ts charming illustrations, will enchant anyone who has ever read an English poem. A
