Nicholas Close has always had an uncanny intuition, but after the death of his wife he becomes haunted, literally, by ghosts doomed to repeat their final violent moments in a chilling and endless loop. Torn by guilt and fearing for his sanity, Nicholas returns to his childhood home seeking a fresh start. But he is soon entangled in a disturbing series of disappearances and murders. He finds himself a suspect, and as the evidence mounts against him and the ghost continue to haunt him, Nicholas will need to confront the woods that surround his hometown--the origin of his troubles and where a malignant evil may be lurking, waiting.

In her seventh volume of poetry, Adrienne Rich searches to reclaim—to discover—what has been forgotten, lost, or unexplored. "I came to explore the wreck. / The words are purposes. / The words are maps. / I came to see the damage that was done / and the treasures that prevail." These provocative poems move with the power of Rich's distinctive voice.

Both as a poet and a critic, Thomas Stearns Eliot has profoundly influenced post-world War I literature. Not only has he conveyed his view of the human condition poetically, but he has articulated the philosophy which shaped his artistic intention and described the poetic method used to express it. The purpose of this study is to examine how these three aspects of his art are synthesized. The writer contends that T.S. Eliot's artistic intention was to determine and then to convey through poetry what, if anything, constituted order in the universe. In expressing this theme (which dominates all his major poems), he developed the poetic method described in his criticism--notably the concepts of the "historical sense" and the "objective correlative." Examination of all the major poetry reveals that in nature imagery and the mythology surrounding it, he found symbols for the presence or absence of order in the universe which were at once rooted in tradition and suited to his delineation of contemporary society. Consequently, this study will trace the development of nature imagery as a source of objective correlative throughout the major poems in order to reveal how Eliot transmuted his personal philosophy into poetry, which he described as "something rich and strange, something universal and impersonal." The limitations of this study are threefold. It was necessary to examine Eliot's personal view of life in order to substantiate the position that his major theme evolved from a search for order in the universe which ultimately led him to seek commitment to a divine ordering principle. This examination necessarily had psychological and philosophical overtones, but it is significant in this context only as a means of better understanding how Eliot, the poet, utilized the experiences of Eliot, the man, in achieving his artistic intention. Secondly, by focusing this study on one source of imagery and two aspects of the artist's poetic method, the writer ran the risk of oversimplification. Other aspects of Eliot's poetic method, notably his use of form, are necessary to a total understanding and appreciation of his art. This study, then, provides only one approach to a rich and complex body of poetry. Finally, the writer made no attempt at critical evaluation. Rather, the purpose of the thesis is to explicate the major poems in order to illustrate, through an analysis of imagery, how T.S. Eliot synthesized his personal ideas, his artistic philosophy and his poetic method in order to create poetry.

The Experimental Psychology of Beauty

Originally published in 1962, the experimental study of aesthetics was a field particularly associated with the name of C.W. Valentine, who in this book provided a critical review of research carried out since the end of the nineteenth century principally by British and American psychologists. The investigations described, many of them conducted by the author, are concerned with individual responses to what is commonly regarded as beautiful in painting, music, and poetry, an important distinction being made between the perception of objects as ‘beautiful’ as opposed to ‘pleasing’. The reactions of children and adults, and of people having different ethnic and social backgrounds, are explored in a variety of experiments dealing with specific elements, including colour, form, and balance in painting; musical intervals, discord, harmony, melody, and tempo; and rhythm, metre, imagery, and associations in classical and romantic poetry. Other experiments seek to disclose the temperamental and attitudinal factors underlying individual differences in the judgement and appreciation of specific works of art. Of particular interest are the studies of responses to modern paintings, poems and musical compositions. The findings throw light on the development of discrimination and taste and suggest the possibility of some common factor in the appreciation of these three arts. It was felt that critics as well as psychologists and aestheticians would find much to encourage reflection and to stimulate further research.
