This volume brings together the twelve collections Glück has published to date, offering readers the opportunity to become immersed in the artistry and vision of one of the world's greatest poets.From the allegories ofThe Wild Iristo the myth-making ofAverno; the oneiric landscapes ofThe House on Marshlandto the questing ofFaithful and Virtuous Night- each of Glück's collections looks upon the events of an ordinary life and finds within them scope for the transcendent; each wields its archetypes to puncture the illusions of the self. Across her work, elements are reiterated but endless

The Spanish Civil War was a landmark conflict of the twentieth century with deep international, political, and cultural resonance. Even given its impact, sustained interest in the plethora of ways music was employed during the era is a much more recent development. Music, Propaganda and the Spanish Civil War explores the international dimensions of musical propaganda during the time period.

Through extensive coverage of musical genres that have previously received little attention in Spanish Civil War scholarship (such as Nazi military music, zarzuela, and flamenco, among others), the collection investigates the significance of music and sound in propagandistic narratives of the war
