Heart Beats
Many people in Great Britain and the United States can recall elderly relatives who remembered long stretches of verse learned at school decades earlier, yet most of us were never required to recite in class.Heart Beatsis the first book to examine how poetry recitation came to assume a central place in past curricular programs, and to investigate when and why the once-mandatory exercise declined. Telling the story of a lost pedagogical practice and its wide-ranging effects on two sides of the Atlantic, Catherine Robson explores how recitation altered the ordinary people who committed poems to heart, and changed the worlds in which they lived.
Heart Beatsbegins by investigating recitation's progress within British and American public educational systems over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and weighs the factors that influenced which poems were most frequently assigned. Robson then scrutinizes the recitational fortunes of three short works that were once classroom classics: Felicia Hemans's \"Casabianca,\" Thomas Gray's \"Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard,\" and Charles Wolfe's \"Burial of Sir John Moore after Corunna.\" To conclude, the book considers W. E. Henley's \"Invictus\" and Rudyard Kipling's \"If--,\" asking why the idea of the memorized poem arouses such different responses in the United States and Great Britain today.
Focusing on vital connections between poems, individuals, and their communities,Heart Beatsis an important study of the history and power of memorized poetry.

BOOK
Behold the Hero
McNairn analyses representations of Wolfe in both popular culture and high art, from mass-produced ceramics to Benjamin West's famous painting of the death of Wolfe, from popular songs to the writings of Oliver Goldsmith, Horace Walpole, Tobias Smollett, Thomas Godfrey, Benjamin Franklin, and William Cowper. He argues that Wolfe became the embodiment of British patriotism and the superiority of the English way of life, and that the multitude of literary and visual works about Wolfe, which primarily focus on his death, were created in an environment in which legends of inspiring, politically persuasive heroics were much in demand.

The Resurrection of Chivalry in Tom Wolfe’s Back to Blood
In his final novel, Back to Blood , Tom Wolfe delivers a warning and an antidote. The warning concerns the widespread disbelief in God and the renunciation of values. In this vacuum flows nihilism, hedonism, and zero-sum power dynamics. Wolfe dramatizes this sociological prognosis in Back to Blood , where his hero, Nestor Camacho, becomes the sole light bearer of traditional morality, namely chivalry. After obtaining a definition of chivalry using historical sources and modern scholars, this paper will show how Tom Wolfe in Back to Blood resurrects the chivalric ideal and endorses it as a solution to our present ethical crisis.
