Davies, Douglas James

Death, Ritual and Belief : Rhetoric of Funerary Rites

London, Continuum, (2002). orig.wrappers. 23x15cm, viii,263 pp, PAPERBACK.. Minor rubbing. VG.
¶ Describing a variety of funeral ritual, from major world religions and from local traditions, this book shows how cultures cope not only with corpses but also create an added value for living through the growth of afterlife beliefs. The key theme of the book is the rhetoric of death - the way cultures use the most potent weapon of words to bring new power to life. Human identity and its transformation through mortuary rites is explored through the mummies of Chile and Egypt; African sacrificial deaths; Indian cremations; immigrant cemeteries in the USA; ancestor rites in Eastern religions and Mormonism; and the freezing of the dead in cryonics. Research findings are presented on cremation and afterlife beliefs, especially reincarnation, sensing the presence of the dead, and the death of pets in Britain, to show how mortuary rituals are constantly changing in response to death as a major feature of the human environment" - Publisher's description.

DOUGLAS, Keith DAVIES, W.H. BLUNDEN, Edmund and others

Springboard, the Barnardo Magazine for Schools, edited by Christopher Fry. Volume 1, numbers 1 - 6.

1935 - 1937. 6 issues, 4to. pp. 208. Wrappers. 1st issue defective, lacking the wrappers and with a couple of excisions within the text. A rare periodical edited by the dramatist Christopher Fry who sourced the contributions from a number of schools, but also included new [and apparently previously unpublished] poems by W.H. Davies [Street Criers, in issue 1], Edmund Blunden [A Town I Knew, in issue 2], Frank Kendon [Blackberries, in issue 3]> plus poems by Robert Gittings. Keith Douglas [1920 - 1944] was one of the leading war poets of the second world war, killed in action during the Normandy invasion. He was educated at Christ's Hospital where his poetic talents were first recognised, several poems being published in 'Outlook', the school's magazine. The poems and illustrations by Douglas here included all seem to have first appeared in Outlook and some show marked differences to the final versions included in the definitive Complete Poems of Keith Douglas, edited by Desmond Graham. 3rd Edition, 1998. They include: The Alchymist [with woodcut] in issue 3, which is not included in Complete Poems..303, in issue 4. Distraction from Classics [with 4 extra lines] in issue 6. Mummers - a Christmas Poem [variant] in issue 6. November [a prose piece] in issue 6.
