This book was released on 2018-12-19 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernism, as a powerful movement, saw the literary and artistic traditions, as well as pure science, starting to evolve radically, creating a crisis, even chaos, in culture and society. Within this chaos, myth offered an ordered picture of that world employing symbolic and poetic images. Both W.B. Yeats and Angelos Sikelianos embraced myth and symbols because they liberate imagination and raise human consciousness, bringing together humans and the cosmos. Being opposed to the rigidity of scientific materialism that inhibits spiritual development, the two poets were waiting for a new age and a new religion, expecting that they, themselves, would inspire their community and usher in the change. In their longing for a new age, archaeology was a magnetic field for Yeats and Sikelianos, as it was for many writers and thinkers. After Sir Arthur Evans’s discovery of the Minoan Civilization where women appeared so peacefully prominent, the dream of re-creating a gynocentric mythology was no longer a fantasy. In Yeats’s and Sikelianos’s gynocentric mythology, the feminine figure appears in various forms and, like in a drama, it plays different roles. Significantly, a gynocentric mythology permeates the work of the two poets and this mythology is of pivotal importance in their poetry, their poetics and even in their life as the intensity of their creative desire brought to them female personalities to inspire and guide them. Indeed, in Yeats’s and Sikelianos’s gynocentric mythology, the image of the feminine holds a place within a historical context taking the reader into a larger social, political and religious space.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Here lies one whose name was writ in water”. This is the phrase the English Romantic poet Keats desired to be inscribed on his tombstone. Just this phrase; he did not even want his name to appear on his tombstone; merely this line. Keats wanted simply the above phrase on his tombstone for by the time his death was near, he was embittered with life and believed he would soon be forgotten. But, contrary to it, more than two hundred years after his death, he is still remembered as one of the greatest English Romantic poets ever. This book, the second in the “Last Words Series”, deals with the fascinating account of the ‘Life, Death, and Last Words’ of the English Romantic poet John Keats (31 October 1795 -- 23 February 1821). Keats came to this world on a short visit. He was just over 25 when he died. EBook: G

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book overturns received ideas about Keats as a poet of "beauty" and "sensuousness," highlighting the little studied political perspectives of his works.

The book also offers new research about Keats's early life that opens valuable and often provocative new perspectives on his poetry.

Download or read book Keats written by Lucasta Miller and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A dazzling new look into the short but intense, tragic life and remarkable work of John Keats, one of the greatest lyric poets of the English language, seen in a whole new light, not as the mythologized Victorian guileless nature-lover, but as the subversive, bawdy complex cynic whose life and poetry were lived and created on the edge. In this brief life, acclaimed biographer Lucasta Miller takes nine of Keats's best-known poems—"Endymion"; "On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer"; "Ode to a Nightingale"; "To Autumn"; "Bright Star" among them—and excavates how they came to be and what in Keats's life led to their creation. She writes of aspects of Keats's life that have been overlooked, and explores his imagination in the context of his world and experience, paying tribute to the unique quality of his mind. Miller, through Keats’s poetry, brilliantly resurrects and brings vividly to life, the man, the poet in all his complexity and spirit, living dangerously, disdaining respectability and cultural norms, and embracing subversive politics. Keats was a lower-middle-class outsider from a tragic and fractured family, whose extraordinary energy and love of language allowed him to pummel his way into the heart of English literature; a freethinker and a liberal at a time of repression, who delighted in the sensation of the moment. We see how Keats was regarded by his contemporaries (his writing was seen as smutty) and how the young poet’s large and boisterous life—a man of the metropolis, who took drugs, was sexually reckless and afflicted with syphilis—went straight up against the Victorian moral grain; and Miller makes clear why his writing—considered marginal and avant-garde in his own day—retains its astonishing originality, sensuousness and power two centuries on.
