Dear Mr. Wordsworth

Print: $12.00

In the words of the author, “Wordsworth was a great poet, but as a nature-lover he had a long way to go.” In this collection Mildred M. Jeffrey addresses this issue, reflecting on the beauties as well as the quirks and oddities of the natural world. She draws our attention to the "ceremonial gathering" of sequoia trees, the scent of bruised mint and the gardener’s annoyance at “ivy carousing into the lawn.” With an evocative vocabulary, Jeffrey brings to the reader a deeper understanding and appreciation of the world that surrounds us all. Mildred M. Jeffrey, a published novelist and associate professor emerita of English, Hofstra University, was an editor of Xanadu, a nationally circulated poetry journal for twenty years. She is a member of the Poetry Society of America and the New England Poetry Club. Her fiction includes Daughter, Oh My Daughter; Walking the Cliffs, and Rejoice. Her poetry books are Detours and Intersections and also True Lies.

Dances for the Sun King: Andre Lorin's

Dances for the Sun King: Andre Lorin's "Livre de Contredance"Dances for the Sun King: Andre Lorin's "Livre de Contredance" (book)

Print: $49.95

André Lorin’s “Livre de Contredance” (1685–87) is a collection of dances of a type long known as English country dance. Lorin, sent to England by Louis XIV, was asked to bring back to court the “most beautiful” of the dances. He then profoundly changed them, imbuing them with the French style of the steps recently codified by the Académie Royale de Danse (of which he claimed membership) and showing how to perform them exactly with the music. Lorin’s manuscript is published here for the first time, in complete facsimile, with the corresponding translation and a full performing edition of the dance on each facing page. Extensive illustrations and essays about Lorin’s life and the long history of the dance type, explanations of the notated steps, concordances and biographies of the courtiers to whom the dances were dedicated fill out the volume.
