Riding and Stein are important figures in twentieth-century poetry and poetics and are considered progenitors of later movements such as L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E poetry.

From sickly child to pioneering Victorian explorer, Isabella Bird defied convention. After back surgery in 1850 and the recommendation of life in the open air, she finally looked her malaise and her pain in the eye and set off across the world completely alone. In Colorado she covered 800 miles on horseback, climbing mountains, wrangling cattle, sleeping in snow and finding herself drawn to a violent, one-eyed outlaw with a soft spot for poetry, known as ‘Mountain Jim’.

Friedrich Nietzsche gilt bis heute als Spitze der philosophischen Nahrungskette. Sein umfassendes Werk deckt wissenschaftliche, künstlerische, philosophische und philologische Schriften ab. Nietzsche beeinflusste Maler, Literaten, Musiker, Wissenschaftler und Künstler aller sogenannten Genres und birgt nach wie vor gesellschaftliches Dynamit. Gerade wegen der Zeitlosigkeit und Aktualität seiner Schriften haben es keinerlei Gruppierungen jeglicher Art versäumt, sich schamlos an aus dem Zusammenhang gerissenen Formulierungen Nietzsches zu bedienen und auf ihre Fahnen zu schmieren.

The Uncommercial Traveller is a collection of literary sketches and reminiscences written by Charles Dickens, published in 1860-1861. In 1859 Dickens founded a new journal called All the Year Round, and the "Uncommercial Traveller" articles would be among his main contributions. He seems to have chosen the title and persona of the Uncommercial Traveller as a result of a speech he gave on 22 December 1859 to the Commercial Travellers' School London in his role as honorary chairman and treasurer.
