A fifth century Roman lawyer and historian, Sozomen was born into a wealthy family of Bethelia, a small town near Gaza, Palestine. His ‘Ecclesiastical History’ in nine books is broadly arranged along the reigns of Roman Emperors, from the conversion of Constantine I and the Council of Nicea (312-325) to the accession of Valentinian III (425). Sozomen’s text is distinguished for its classical literary style, its favouring of monasticism and its greater use of western European sources.

Book Description

St. Cyprian was a third century theologian and bishop of Carthage, who led the Christians of North Africa during a period of intense persecution from Rome. Upon his execution he became the first bishop-martyr of Africa. His refined Latin rhetoric led to his being considered the pre-eminent Latin writer of Western Christianity until Jerome and Augustine. His theology was chiefly based on the central idea of the unity and uniqueness of the church.

Book Description

The eighteenth century English poet, dramatist and philosopher, Edward Young is best remembered today for the enormously popular ‘Night-Thoughts’, a long, didactic poem contemplating the theme of death. The poem was inspired by the successive deaths of Young’s stepdaughter, her husband and the poet’s own wife over a five year period. Composed in blank-verse, it is a dramatic monologue of nearly 10,000 lines, divided into nine parts, or “Nights.” Young’s fame in Europe was further developed by his prose masterpiece, ‘Conjectures on Original Composition’, addressed to his friend, the novelist Samuel Richardson. The essay succinctly explores concepts that would later epitomise the principal concerns of the Romantic movement. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. For the first time in digital publishing, this volume presents Young’s complete works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1) * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to Young’s life and works * Concise introduction to Young’s life and poetry * The text of the complete poems is based on the seminal Bell and Daldy 1858 edition * Includes the original footnotes, ideal for students * Excellent formatting of the texts * Special chronological and alphabetical contents tables for the poetry * Easily locate the poems you want to read * Includes Young’s complete plays — first time in digital print * Young’s sermons and essays, available in no other collection * Features two biographies — discover Young’s literary life * Scholarly ordering of texts into chronological order and literary genres Please visit www.delphiclassics.com to see our wide range of poet titles CONTENTS: The Life and Poetry of Edward Young Brief Introduction: Edward Young Complete Poetical Works of Edward Young The Poems List of Poems in Chronological Order List of Poems in Alphabetical Order The Plays Busiris, King of Egypt (1719) The Revenge (1721) The Brothers (1753) The Prose On Lyrick Poetry (1728) A Vindication of Providence (1728) An Apology for Princes (1729) The Centaur Not Fabulous (1755) An Argument, Drawn from the Circumstances of Christ’s Death, for the Truth of His Religion (1758) Conjectures on Original Composition (1759) Epitaph at Welwyn, Hertfordshire The Biographies Edward Young by Leslie Stephen On the Life and Poetic Genius of Edward Young by George Gilfillan Please visit www.delphiclassics.com to browse through our range of poetry titles or buy the entire Delphi Poets Series as a Super Set

The interwar English playwright Noël Coward is best known for his highly polished comedies of manners, including the enduring masterpieces ‘The Vortex’, ‘Hay Fever’, ‘Present Laughter’ and ‘Blithe Spirit’.

An indefatigable genius, he performed almost every function in the theatre, including producing, directing, dancing, singing and acting, as well as directing motion pictures.

Book Description

The most learned of the Latin Fathers, Saint Jerome had an eventful life, spending time as a hermit, becoming a priest, serving as secretary to Pope Damasus I and later establishing a monastery at Bethlehem. His most ambitious achievement was his Latin translation of the Bible, the Vulgate, based on a Hebrew version, rather than the Septuagint. He believed that mainstream Rabbinical Judaism had rejected the Septuagint as invalid scriptural texts, due to Hellenistic mistranslations. Jerome’s numerous biblical, ascetical, monastic and theological works went on to have a profound influence in the early Middle Ages. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the ancient world, with both English translations and the original Latin texts.
