Topics for our classes

Implied terms are not made express (like express terms) within the contract but may be implied into the contract in the following ways:

by custom: a term can only be implied into a contract by custom if there is no express term to the contrary. These may be terms which are customary in the market in which the contract is made or have been in previous dealings between the parties.

by statute: various statutes imply terms intro different specific contracts. For example, the condition that employment contracts will be automatically transferred is implied under statute in the contract for the sale of the business.

by common law: by the intention of the parties, if it is a term which is necessary to make the contract work.

See, by contrast, the express terms:

Express terms are set out and stipulated expressly in the contract.

Can you provide some examples of medieval literature that are still popular today? What sets these works apart from others in terms of their continued relevance?

Beowulf

Beowulf, heroic poem, the highest achievement of Old English literature and the earliest European vernacular epic. The work deals with events of the early 6th century, and, while the date of its composition is uncertain, some scholars believe that it was written in the 8th century. Although originally untitled, the poem was later named after the Scandinavian hero Beowulf, whose exploits and character provide its connecting theme. There is no evidence of a historical Beowulf, but some characters, sites, and events in the poem can be historically verified. The poem did not appear in print until 1815. It is preserved in a single manuscript that dates to circa 1000 and is known as the Beowulf manuscript (Cotton MS Vitellius A XV).

Michael Crichton’s 1976 novel Eaters of the Dead is a loose adaptation of the tale of Beowulf combined with Ahmad ibn Fadlan’s historical account of the Volga Vikings.

The movie The 13th Warrior (1999) is based on Michael Crichton’s novel and of course, on the tale of Beowulf.

Sir Gawayne and the Grene Knight
(Sir Gawain and the Green Knight)

Sir Gawayne and the Grene Knight, Middle English alliterative poem of unknown authorship, dating from the second half of the 14th century (perhaps 1375). It is a chivalric romance that tells a tale of enchantment in an Arthurian setting. Its hero, Sir Gawayne (Gawain), is presented as a devout but humanly imperfect Christian who wins a test of arms, resists temptation by a lord’s wife, but succumbs to an offer of invulnerability.

The Green Knight, a movie from 2021, was based on it.

Is writing a novel a common item on people’s bucket lists? If so, what motivates them to write a novel even though it may not be widely read or enjoyed?

#Quora #Quoraanswers

I guess it is. It is for me, at least. I have postponed it for later, as writing a novel can take a lot of time and won’t yield significant financial benefits.

What motivates people to write novels?
Maybe having a voice.
Perhaps immortalizing some very loved ones.
Maybe remembering a long-lost world.

How do you complete a poem in any subject matter you are interested in?

#Quora #QuestionsonQuora

I love answering questions on Quora. It is like gymnastics of the mind.

Imagination is a tricky thing. It does not breathe words all the time. Sometimes it is alive, and sometimes it is barely breathing.
When I have ideas, I write in a notebook or on my phone. After that, I transferred my thoughts to my blog.
You do not just sit at your desk and start writing a poem.

I love writing. For me, it is like living in a parallel world of my own making. Nevertheless, the walls of this new realm may sometimes appear blurry.

The idea for the following poem hit me when I looked out the window and felt the mellow shine of autumn glistening into the threes.

I don’t want the summer to end

I don’t want the summer to end
That is why I try to suspend
My thoughts of winters and grey
Garnering drops of snow and dismay.

I don’t want the summer to end
That is why I am hand in hand
With clouds and planets blue,
Roses and treasures that have no clue
Of corrupt winds and misty reign
In the apocalypse of rain.

I don’t want the summer to end…

What is the most frequently mentioned city in literature?

#Quora

As a book lover and literary critic, the question of the most frequently mentioned city in literature is fascinating, but with a caveat. While London undoubtedly holds the crown for European cities, pinpointing a single global champion is a labyrinthine task.

Literature encompasses a vast terrain – novels, plays, poems, epics, spanning cultures and centuries. Tracking mentions across these diverse forms is challenging. Cities often have different names across languages. Think of Peking becoming Beijing or Constantinople morphing into Istanbul. Counting mentions requires navigating these historical shifts. Religious texts like the Bible frequently mention Jerusalem, but are these strictly “literature” or foundational scripture? The line can be blurry.

However, focusing on London as the frontrunner for the “Western Literary Canon” is fruitful. Here’s why:

For centuries, Britain held immense political and cultural sway. Writers like Charles Dickens (Oliver Twist, Bleak House) captured the grit and grandeur of London. William Shakespeare (Hamlet, Macbeth) used it as a backdrop for power struggles. This sheer volume of prominent British literature naturally amplifies London’s presence.

London transcended a mere city. It embodied the British Empire, a center of commerce and intrigue. Think of Arthur Conan Doyle‘s Sherlock Holmes stories, where London becomes a microcosm of human nature.

London also witnessed major literary movements. Virginia Woolf‘s (Mrs. Dalloway) stream of consciousness technique wouldn’t be the same without capturing the city’s bustling energy.

London is my favourite city in literature, as I appreciate all its other names such as: The City of Dreams, The Global Village, The Green City, The Great Wen.

The latter has an interesting etymology.

The Great Wen is a nickname for London that dates back to the 19th century. It was first coined by William Cobbett, a journalist and social commentator, who used the term to describe the city’s rapid growth and urbanization.

The term “wen” means a boil or pimple, and Cobbett used it to convey his disgust at the way London was expanding and changing.

Who is your favorite poet and what makes them stand out to you?

Who is your favorite poet and what makes them stand out to you? Have they influenced your writing style in any way?

#Quora Knowledge

My favorite poet is Emily Dickinson.
I have been greatly influenced by her simplicity in her wording in the most astonishing poems.
Her lucid words create powerful feelings. You are able to taste, feel, and see the almost surrealistic landscapes that she creates.
In my opinion, her poems are written in color. She is able to render colors and hues in verse.

“I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and I look at it, until it begins to shine.” ― Emily Dickinson

“Bring me the sunset in a cup.” ― Emily Dickinson

The poem below has been inspired by her.

What friends?

I have the sun
and the full moons,
The air and the water
blue.

The memories of
the sweet hills
and the crescent moon
keeping the vineyards
in bloom.

For my love
I would give
My hills
wrapped in balmy
vine flowers
.

“If I can stop a heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain”. – Emily Dickinson

What’s the best love letter you have read?

Questions from Quora
#Quora

The best love letters are, in my opinion, Vladimir Nabokov’s love letters to his wife Vera.

This was written in July 1923, a few months after they met.
“I won’t hide it: I’m so unused to being — well, understood, perhaps, — so unused to it, that in the very first minutes of our meeting I thought: this is a joke… But then… And there are things that are hard to talk about — you’ll rub off their marvelous pollen at the touch of a word… You are lovely. ………………………………………………………
Yes, I need you, my fairy-tale. Because you are the only person I can talk with about the shade of a cloud, about the song of a thought — and about how, when I went out to work today and looked a tall sunflower in the face, it smiled at me with all of its seeds.
……………………………………
See you soon my strange joy, my tender night.”

Regarding novels, which English authors have the most complicated writing style?

I love answering questions on Quora. I wish I had more time for this to write answers about creative writing, poetry, literature, cultural events, SEO, writer’s block, and ways to boost our creativity.

I would say that Virginia Woolf‘s style is intricately beautiful.

“I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realizes an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don’t have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.”

“The eyes of others our prisons; their thoughts our cages.”

“Nothing thicker than a knife’s blade separates happiness from melancholy.”

“Women have served all these centuries as looking glasses possessing the magic and delicious power of reflecting the figure of man at twice its natural size.”

“There was a star riding through clouds one night, & I said to the star, ‘Consume me’.”
