Download or read book The Epic Rhetoric of Tasso written by Maggie Gunsberg and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Maggie Gunsberg examines the ""poetica"" and ""poesia"" of Tasso in the context of the historical and cultural climate in which he lived. His epic theory is explored from the point of view of three rhetorical faculties current in 16th-century poetics: ""inventio"", ""dispositio"" and ""elocutio"". His discussion of ""dispositio"" reveals a fascinating similarity with ideas on art expressed by the Russian Formalists in the 1920s, a coincidence that can be attributed to the lasting influence of Aristotelian writings on plot. In her textual analysis of ""Gerusalemme liberata"", Dr. Gunsberg uses modern methodologies drawing on Freud, Lacan and the ideology of body language to develop new ways of reading the epic text. The two parts of this study, dealing with Tasso's theory and practice respectively, offer complementary aproaches that together illuminate his epic contribution."

Download or read book L Impero del Manyo e l Eremo Incantato written by Lucy Bongiorno and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-12-10 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Per qualche istante si senti inghiottita dal fondo. Avvertiva solo il rumore del vento che ruggiva attraverso i fitti rami e che si attorcigliava fra i capelli. Correva lungo un viottolo ben battuto e senza aiuole, l'inverno era passato da poco perche l'aria che le sbatteva in faccia era tiepida e gradevole, e il cupo verso dei gufi le dava il senso della notte. Improvvisamente si alzo una fitta nebbia che le copri i passi dilatandosi ai lati in piccole spire. Jess si volto piena d'ansia, il cuore le martellava nelle orecchie e nel petto, e per un momento ebbe la percezione che la nausea la stesse per sopraffare. Pur di sentirsi al sicuro avrebbe gettato via tutto, anche quella belva furiosa che le stava dilaniando l'anima a forza di morsi. Si era persa nell'oblio. In un baratro che non le dava scampo. Era imprigionata nella sua parte oscura.
Download or read book Self Commentary in Early Modern European Literature 1400 1700 written by Francesco Venturi and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume investigates the various ways in which writers comment on, present, and defend their own works, and at the same time themselves, across early modern Europe. A multiplicity of self-commenting modes, ranging from annotations to explicatory prose to prefaces to separate critical texts and exemplifying a variety of literary genres, are subjected to analysis. Self-commentaries are more than just an external apparatus: they direct and control reception of the primary text, thus affecting notions of authorship and readership. With the writer understood as a potentially very influential and often tendentious interpreter of their own work, the essays in this collection offer new perspectives on pre-modern and modern forms of critical self-consciousness, self-representation, and self-validation. Contributors are Harriet Archer, Gilles Bertheau, Carlo Caruso, Jeroen De Keyser, Russell Ganim, Joseph Harris, Ian Johnson, Richard Maber, Martin McLaughlin, John O’Brien, Magdalena Ożarska, Federica Pich, Brian Richardson, Els Stronks, and Colin Thompson.
