In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet of the past. By their choice of poems and by the personal and critical reactions they express in their prefaces, the editors offer insights into their own work as well as providing an accessible and passionate introduction to some of the greatest poets in our literature. Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-92) was born in Somersby, Lincolnshire, the sixth of eleven children of a clergyman. After a childhood marked by trauma, he went up to Cambridge in 1828, where he met Arthur Hallam, whose premature death had a lasting influence on Tennyson's life and writing. His two volumes of Poems (1842) established him as the leading poet of his generation, and of the Victorian period. He was created Poet Laureate in 1850 and in 1883 accepted a peerage.

Debunking misconceptions about online education and contesting the myth of a one-size-fits-all solution, Online Learning and the Politics of Access in Public Education explores the complex realities of e-learning. Focusing on the ethical dilemmas of online education in a data-driven, profit-oriented world, the book examines how the notion of choice in K-12 education can commodify public schools, often deepening existing inequalities both locally and globally. Beyhan Farhadi, a former teacher turned professor studying education technology, highlights the complexities of access to online learning and questions whether technology can genuinely address issues of quality and equity in a landscape shaped by corporate influence over students and surveillance and privacy concerns.Drawing connections between the pandemic's impact on education and the ongoing marketization of schools across North America, Farhadi illustrates how e-learning can perpetuate the same social and cultural disparities found in traditional classrooms. The book raises vital questions about the role of publicly funded education, the persistence of systemic oppression in schooling, and whether online learning can meaningfully bridge the gaps created by deep rooted inequities. Online Learning and the Politics of Access in Public Education is an essential read for anyone concerned about the future of education and its complex political dynamics. Autorid: Beyhan Farhadi
