Download or read book British Poetry of the Nineteenth Century written by Stephen Gurney and published by Macmillan Reference USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The critical assumption of British Poetry of the Nineteenth Century is that, while the history of English letters constantly expands and changes, the study of the past has an intrinsic value inasmuch as it enables us to rise above the often restrictive or reductive vantage point of our present moment. Gurney is articulate and convincing when, for example, he argues that Milton is not only of historical value insofar as some knowledge of his works is necessary to understand the reactions he engendered in romantic poets like Blake, Shelley, and the Brontes, but also for the foothold that he gives us outside the constricting circle of our age. For the themes he explores and the sensitivities he fosters are precisely those that our age may have forgotten - and that, therefore, we have the greatest need to hear and consider.

Download or read book Poetry and the Thought of Song in Nineteenth century Britain written by Elizabeth K. Helsinger and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In arguing for the crucial importance of song for poets in the long nineteenth century, Elizabeth Helsinger focuses on both the effects of song on lyric forms and the mythopoetics through which poets explored the affinities of poetry with song. Looking in particular at individual poets and poems, Helsinger puts extensive close readings into productive conversation with nineteenth-century German philosophic and British scientific aesthetics. While she considers poets long described as "musical"--Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Gerard Manly Hopkins, Emily Brontë, and Algernon Charles Swinburne--Helsinger also examines the more surprising importance of song for those poets who rethought poetry through the medium of visual art: Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris, and Christina Rossetti. In imitating song's forms and sound textures through lyric's rhythm, rhyme, and repetition, these poets were pursuing song's "thought" in a double sense. They not only asked readers to think of particular kinds of song as musical sound in social performance (ballads, national airs, political songs, plainchant) but also invited readers to think like song: to listen to the sounds of a poem as it moves minds in a different way from philosophy or science. By attending to the formal practices of these poets, the music to which the poets were listening, and the stories and myths out of which each forged a poetics that aspired to the condition of music, Helsinger suggests new ways to think about the nature and form of the lyric in the nineteenth century.

The critical essays are usually classed in two paragraphs, and, throughout, the most import ant books or essays are indicated by asterisks. The Notes have been made as few and brief as possible; and critical comment, except that of the poet himself, or, in a few cases, of other poets, has been excluded from them. They give only essential facts re garding the poems, or comment and explanation added by the poet him self.

Download or read book British Poets and Secret Societies Routledge Revivals written by Marie Mulvey-Roberts and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A surprisingly large number of English poets have either belonged to a secret society, or been strongly influenced by its tenets. One of the best known examples is Christopher Smart’s membership of the Freemasons, and the resulting influence of Masonic doctrines on A Song to David. However, many other poets have belonged to, or been influenced by not only the Freemasons, but the Rosicrucians, Gormogons and Hell-Fire Clubs. First published in 1986, this study concentrates on five major examples: Smart, Burns, William Blake, William Butler Yeats and Rudyard Kipling, as well as a number of other poets. Marie Roberts questions why so many poets have been powerfully attracted to the secret societies, and considers the effectiveness of poetry as a medium for conveying secret emblems and ritual. She shows how some poets believed that poetry would prove a hidden symbolic language in which to reveal great truths. The beliefs of these poets are as diverse as their practice, and this book sheds fascinating light on several major writers.
