Nicholas Hagger's literary, philosophical, historical and political
writings are innovatory. He has set out a new approach to
literature that combines Romantic and Classical outlooks in a
substantial literary oeuvre of 2,000 poems including over 300
classical odes, two poetic epics, five verse plays, three masques,
two travelogues and 1,200 stories. He has created a new philosophy
of Universalism that focuses on the unity of the universe and
humankind and the interconnectedness of all disciplines, and
challenges modern philosophy. He has presented an original
historical view of the rise and fall of civilisations, and proposed
- and detailed - a limited democratic World State with the power to
abolish war and solve all the world's problems. Selected Letters
draws together those of his letters (written over 60 years) that
aid the interpretation and elucidation of his works. Many of his
correspondents are well-known figures within literature,
philosophy, history and international politics, and Hagger is in
the footsteps of Alexander Pope in editing his own letters, which
are in the tradition of Pope, Wordsworth, Keats, T.E. Lawrence,
Ezra Pound and Ted Hughes (one of his correspondents). They throw
light on all aspects of Hagger's vast output, and are required
reading for all interested in following the growth of his
Universalism, his literary development and his innovatory approach
to universal truth. NICHOLAS HAGGER is a poet, man of letters,
cultural historian and philosopher. He has lectured at universities
in Iraq, Libya and Japan, where he was a Professor of English
Literature. He has written 54 books. These include an immense
literary offering, most recently King Charles the Wise and Visions
of England (both also published by O-Books), and innovatory works
within history, philosophy and international politics and
statecraft. His archive of papers and manuscripts is held as a
Special Collection in the Albert Sloman Library at the University
of Essex. In 2016 he was awarded the Gusi Peace Prize for
Literature, and in 2019 the BRICS silver medal for 'Vision for
Future'.
