France's Lost Empires brings together ten essays that collectively
investigate the historical, cultural, and political legacies of
French colonialism and, specifically, the endings of the French
empire(s). Combining analyses of three "lost" territories (Canada,
India, and Saint Dominigue) of the "first" French colonial empire,
that of the Ancien Regime, with investigations of the
decolonization of the "new" colonies of the "second" French
overseas empire (specifically in North Africa), the essays
presented here investigate the ways in whicih colonial loss has
been absorbed and narrativized within French culture and society,
and how nostalgia for that past has played a fundamental role in
shaping French colonial discourses and memories. Beginning with the
Haitian Revolution and its historicization during the 1820s and
ending with an examination of the "postcolonial" republic at the
end of the twentieth century, the chronological structure of the
volume serves to reveal the extent to which the memories of
territorial loss have been sustained throughout French colonial
history and remain evident in current metropolitan representations
and memories of empire. In analyzing the longevity of these tropes
of loss and nostalgia, and their importance in shaping France's
identity as a colonial power both during and after periods of
colonization, France's Lost Empires reveals a basic premise: it is
not simply successful conquest which creates a self-validating
colonial discourse; failure can do so too. Indeed, the pervasive
and tenacious nostalgia for past colonial glories, variously
identified by the contributors to this volume, suggests that, for
some, the emotional attachment to France's colonies has not waned
and remians today as it was in nineteenth-century France.
"For anyone who has ever wondered about the differences between
metaphor and metonym or a trochee and a dactyl, this compact,
well-organized handbook promises to be useful."

Poetry: An Introduction is an accessible and clearly written
introduction to the structural and methodological principles
underpinning poetry and its study. It aims to equip the student,
researcher, and general reader with a body of technical information
that will sharpen and deepen their engagement with individual
poems.
Strachan and Terry provide a lively map through what might on
first experience seem the most daunting aspects of poetry: poetic
sound effects, rhythm and meter, the typographic display of poems
on the page, the language of poetry, and the use made by poets of
techniques of comparison and association. The book's discussion of
poetic terminology is allied throughout to illustrative readings
that show the usefulness of the terminology in approaching
particular poems; its emphasis is always a practical one,
demonstrating how poems actually work.
Beginning with an historical overview of the development of
English poetry from its earliest origins and finishing with an
authoritative dictionary of poetical terms, Poetry: An Introduction
is an indispensable guide to the understanding of poetry.
Quickly equips readers with the strategies to understand and deepen
their engagement with individual poems Praise for the first
