Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the title of "An Irish Precursor of Dante," there has been published recently a study of the vision of Heaven and Hell, ascribed to the Eighth Century Irish Saint Adamnan, with a translation of the Irish text by C. S. Boswell. In the introduction the author says: "The main subject of the poem, the visit of a living man, in person or in vision, to the world of the dead, and his report of what he had seen and heard there, belongs to a class of world-myths than which few arc more widely distributed in place or time, and none have been more fortunate in the place won for them by the masters of literature. "The subject would appear to have possessed a special fascination for the Irish writers at the time when Ireland was the chief intellectual centre of Western Europe, and the constant flux and reflux of Irish teachers and foreign students necessarily tended to spread abroad so much, at any rate, of the compositions of the Irish schools as was in harmony with the tastes and beliefs of Christendom at large. "By far the most important of the Apocalyptic writings which proceeded from the Irish schools is the Vision which bears the name of St. Adamnan, of which a translation is given in the present volume. It is interesting to compare it with the later and greater work, and to make the numerous points of resemblance which may be discerned in works so widely different. "This and the like productions of a ruder, but not ignorant or uncultured, age deserve no less attention than that which we bestow upon the works of the primitive schools of art and letters." Besides the translation of the text itself the book contains chapters on The Seer Adamnan, The Classical, Oriental and Ecclesiastical Traditions, The Legend in Ireland, Later Developments, etc. - "The Book Buyer: A Monthly Review of American and Foreign Literature," Vol. 33 [1905]

There is little attempt made to discriminate between the penalties accorded to different kinds of guilt. Heaven is described in the same rhapsodical style as in the Fis Adamndin, the Felire Oengusa, etc. Another moral treatise is the Dd Brbn Flatha Nime, 'The Two Sorrows of the Kingdom of Heaven, ' i.e. the two sorrows referred to ch. 33 of the Fis Adamndin. Here, too, Elias is represented as standing in Paradise, the Gospels in his hand, and he preaching to the birds that perch on the Tree of Life, eating its berries.1 5. The Fis Adamnain The general plan of the Fis Adamndin is distinguished from that of the other similar writings that have come down to us by an architectonic character to which they can make no claim. The structure proper to the Imram was, in great measure, that of a framework into which a greater or less number of incidents could be fitted, according to the author's taste, without impairing the general effect; the same, in a somewhat less degree, may be said of the Echtra, which are more nearly akin to the romance of adventure than to the epic. The early Christian writers, again, solely intent upon edification, and being for the most part men of little culture--for this species of composition, after all, was but a by-way of ecclesiastical literature--were usually content to repeat a few topics belonging to the common stock of ideas prevalent in their day, and paid but little heed to literary effect, or even to the clear conception, or orderly presentment, of their subject.1 1 David Fitzgerald, loc. cit., pp. 192-3, where he cites from Kuhn, Die Herabkunft des Feuers, a passage of the Vedas: 'Two birds sit on the top of the imperishable acvattha, one eating its figs, and the other looking on.' He also cites from the..

Download or read book Dante in the Long Nineteenth Century written by Aida Audeh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays by an international group of scholars offers an account of Dante's reception in a wide range of media: visual art, literature, theatre, cinema, and music, from the late eighteenth century through to the early twentieth. It thus explores various appropriations and interpretations of his works and persona during the era of modernization in Europe, the United States, and beyond. It includes work by internationally recognized experts and a new generation of scholars in the field, and the eighteen essays are grouped in sections which relate both to themes and regions. The volume begins and ends by addressing Italy's reception of the national poet, and its other main sections show how a worldwide dialogue with Dante developed in France, Britain, Germany, the United States, Ireland, India, and Turkey. The whole collection demonstrates how this dialogue explicitly or implicitly informed the construction, recovery or re-definition of cultural identity among various nations, regions and ethnic groups during the 'long nineteenth century'. It not only aims at wide coverage of the period's voices and concerns, and includes discussion of well-known writers such as Ugo Foscolo, Giosuè Carducci, Mary Shelley, John Ruskin, George Eliot, Charles Eliot Norton and Ralph Waldo Emerson - along with a large number of significant but less familiar figures. It also emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary and multilingual approach to the subject of Dante and nineteenth-century nationalism, and it will thus be of interest to scholars and students in comparative literary and nineteenth-century studies, as well as to those with a general interest in cultural studies and the history of ideas.
