Download or read book Democratic Sonnets Classic Reprint written by William Michael Rossetti and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democratic Sonnets The great majority of these Sonnets were written in 1881 a very few perhaps in 1882 one, named Hungary and Europe, in 1849. The last named has been published more than once already, and mostly under the title Democracy Downtrodden, but the present title represents the true motive with which the Sonnet was composed. It seems requisite to say this much, as the general title of Democratic Sonnets might induce a reader to suppose that the series relates to or includes topics of the present day - whereas in fact its purview closes with the remote year 1881 or 1882, and most of the subjects are still older than that.

Download or read book The Sonnets of Thomas Pringle written by Patrick Lenahan and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-07-17 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Scottish poet Thomas Pringle emigrated to the Cape Colony in 1820 he voyaged also into a new creative life and an art responsive to his colonial home, “sterner verse” for “darker scenes”. Accompanying him to the Cape, the sonnet became his most consistent choice for capturing his experiences and convictions, his personal crises and the greater trauma of colonial appropriation and racial oppression. In this study his unique contribution to the Romantic-era sonnet is for the first time given its full due, through readings that are as attentive to form and formal agency as to the cultural, social and historical conditions in which they are enmeshed. Moving beyond colonial theory to consider issues of literary migration, this illuminating work shows how Pringle effectively opened up a radical conversation between the habitual modes of perception and response of British Romanticism and his new, southern world.
Download or read book Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the Late Victorian Sonnet Sequence written by John Holmes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1870, Dante Gabriel Rossetti published the first version of his sonnet sequence The House of Life. The next thirty years saw the greatest flourishing of the sonnet sequence since the 1590s. John Holmes's carefully researched and eloquent study illuminates how leading sonneteers, including the Rossettis, John Addington Symonds, Wilfrid Blunt and Augusta Webster, and their early twentieth-century successors Rosa Newmarch and Rupert Brooke, addressed the urgent questions of selfhood, religious belief and doubt, and sexual and national identity which troubled late Victorian England. Drawing on the heritage of the sonnet sequence, the poetic self-portraits they created are unsurpassed in their subtlety, complexity, courage, and honesty.
Download or read book Democratic Anarchy written by Matthew Scully and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dramatic and necessary rethinking of the meaning of Democracy Democratic Anarchy grapples with an uncomfortable but obvious truth inimical to democracy: both aesthetics and politics depend on the structuring antagonism of inclusion and exclusion. Yet in Democratic Anarchy, Matthew Scully asks, how can “the people” be represented in a way that acknowledges what remains unrepresentable? What would it mean to face up to the constitutive exclusions that haunt U.S. democracy and its anxious fantasies of equality? Synthesizing a broad range of theoretical traditions and interlocutors—including Lacan, Rancière, Edelman, and Hartman—Democratic Anarchy polemically declares that there has never been, nor can there ever be, a realized democracy in the U.S. because democracy always depends on the hierarchical institution of a formal order by one part of the population over another. Engaging with an expansive corpus of American literature and art (Harriet Jacobs, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louis Zukofsky, Thomas Pynchon, Toni Morrison, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha, Nari Ward, Ocean Vuong, and Safiya Sinclair), Democratic Anarchy argues that many liberal concepts and institutions are in fact structurally opposed to democratic equality because they depend on regulating what can appear and in what form. By focusing on works that disrupt this regulatory impulse, Scully shows how rhetorical strategies of interruption, excess, and disorder figure the anarchic equality that inegalitarian fantasies of democracy disavow. Democratic Anarchy develops a rigorous theory of equality that refuses to repeat the inequalities against which it positions itself, and it does so by turning to moments of resistance—both aesthetic and political—inaugurated by the equality that inheres in and antagonizes the order of things.

Download or read book William and Lucy written by Angela Thirlwell and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The marriage of William Michael Rossetti (1829-1919) and Lucy Madox Brown (1843-1894) united two of the most resonant Pre-Raphaelite family names. Their passionate and ultimately tragic relationship - described here for the first time - provides a fresh perspective on nineteenth-century marriage and on the private lives of eminent Victorians. Sibling of Dante Gabriel and Christina Rossetti, William was one of the original Pre-Raphaelite 'Brothers,' a Bohemian, radical author, poet, critic, artist, connoisseur, biographer, historian, and taxman. Lucy, the intense, intellectual daughter of Ford Madox Brown, was an ambitious artist and biographer of Mary Shelley in spite of struggling with tuberculosis for nearly a decade. Drawing on hundreds of previously unpublished sources and a wealth of new visual material (including art by William, Lucy, and others of their circle and striking contemporary photographs), the book follows William and Lucy through their separate professional careers, marriage, continental travels, and Lucy’s illness and death. At the crossover between art history, literary criticism, social history, and biography, the book rewrites Pre-Raphaelite history and brings to life two fascinating people who were both of their time and ahead of it.
Download or read book Sonnet written by Rinaldina Russell and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2017-04-19 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By their very nature, sonnets allow quick glimpses into the lives of individuals and their surroundings. They can reveal what people loved, hated, idealized, and found ridiculous or grotesqueand Italian sonnets in particular exhibit a remarkably wide range of content and form. Rinaldina Russell, a scholar of Italian medieval and Renaissance literature and of women studies, leads you on a glorious exploration of medieval and Renaissance verse in Sonnet. Focusing strictly on Italy, she explains that sonnet writing was not the purview of a selected group of people. From the sonnets appearance in the first half of the thirteenth century through the Renaissance and on to the baroque age, writing sonnets was an activity people at all levels of society and of all intellectual and literary backgrounds practiced. She translates some of Italys most important, interesting, and underappreciated sonnets, conveying the meaning and structure of thought as faithfully as possible. Themes vary from political and military arguments to expressions of love and sexual needs, from atheistic and cynical views on mans nature and destiny, to a celebration of life and the divine. She also provides commentary to relate what translations do not convey, including the rhythmic and verbal effects of the Italian text and its topical allusions.

Download or read book RIGHT JUSTIFIED written by Colley Cibber and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2006-08-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RJ(?) is a tongue-in-cheek purview of the personalities and media claques who comprise the present administration. Such a clot of brash, corrupt, incompetent and unthinking political sorts--gathered under the same banner, sharing their ineptitude, and wreaking havoc upon the American political and economic system--begs recognition. To observe these principals brought together in a single book is to look into a self-obsessed, self-contained world of staggering myopia, mindless belligerence, greed, opportunism and "ears" clearly deaf to the blaring realities of the 21st century. Here, often in their own words, are the facts of the matter. As has been rightly noted: "If America goes dark, the world goes dark." Perhaps the light that glimmers through this collection may, in a small way, help forestall such a dread and dismal occurrence. At last Mr. Cibber has got it right! A man of questionable talent, loose morals, and a genuine antipathy to the higher reaches of literature, he seems to have stumbled upon a subject best suited to his always base and often profane point of view: the hijacking of that great American illusion, democracy. Cibber is never more at home than here, in a subject best suited to his style; that is to say, a subject as lacking in style and substance as Mr. Cibber himself. However, there is something to be said for this "like to like" assessment. As Cibber pretends to poetry, they to the subtleties of politics; the results as dumbfounding and catastrophic as might ever be imagined. There is, of course, Mr. Cibber's typical, coarse humor, hand in hand with a rather club-footed, ponderous wit (my apologies to Mr. Pope). Still, as an indictment (and indictments, it seems, are soon to abound) of where the right has got it wrong, Mr. Cibber's book offers--loath to say--an often delightful condemnation of those American Tories who would undo the past few centuries of get-down anarchy and return to the comforts and inequities of a benevolent monarchy. This book may well offer insight into how to speak to a Tory--if you must. Dr. Samuel Johnson, Oxford
