Download or read book ENGLISH LITERATURE ADVANCING THROUGH HISTORY 3 The Seventeenth Century written by Petru Golban and published by Transnational Press London. This book was released on 2021-12-24 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present book is third in a series of works which aim to expose the complexity and essence, power and extent of the major periods, movements, trends, genres, authors, and literary texts in the history of English literature. Following this aim, the series will consist of monographs which cover the most important ages and experiences of English literary history, including Anglo-Saxon or Old English period, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Restoration, neoclassicism, romanticism, Victorian Age, and the twentieth-century and contemporary literary backgrounds. The reader of these volumes will acquire the knowledge of literary terminology along with the theoretical and critical perspectives on certain texts and textual typology belonging to different periods, movements, trends, and genres. The reader will also learn about the characteristics and conventions of these literary periods and movements, trends and genres, main writers and major works, and the literary interaction and continuity of the given periods. Apart from an important amount of reference to literary practice, some chapters on these periods include information on their philosophy, criticism, worldview, values, or episteme, in the Foucauldian sense, which means that even though the condition of the creative writing remains as the main concern, it is balanced by a focus on the condition of thought as well as theoretical and critical writing during a particular period.

Download or read book The Gospel According to ANE Covenant Understanding written by Dave Schoch and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-06-10 with total page 545 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Christians in the Church in the West do not know about Ancient Near Eastern (ANE) covenants, nor do they understand that the covenants God has made with mankind are based in form and function on ANE covenants and their governing principles of operation. Scholars and theologians know that the greater understanding we have of the historical and cultural roots of Christianity, the more accurately we can interpret the New Testament Scriptures. This work brings to the forefront of Christian theology some discoveries within theological fields of research and study that affects honest interpretation of the NT Scriptures. Such information demands dissemination throughout the grassroots levels of the Church, particularly for pastors, preachers, Bible teachers, and Christian academia. Understanding ANE covenants and their operating principles helps us to develop a more accurate and complete Biblical Hermeneutic and, more importantly, a more precisely tuned theology.
Download or read book New Covenant of Reconciliation Reformed Theology Modified Through Covenant Understanding written by Dave Schoch and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-09-14 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the printed form of a Doctoral Dissertation, the focus of the Paper is the application of Ancient Near East covenant principles to exegesis of New Testament Scriptures. This is an important work, for such application demonstrates many fallacies within currently held to Reformed Theology. Application of covenant principles to interpretation of New Testament Scripture is a more complete hermeneutic than what the Reformers had, and must be incorporated into the modern codified set of Biblical Hermeneutics. Because the New Testament is not a testament but a covenant modeled after ANE covenants, understanding what a covenant is and how a covenant operates is paramount to a more complete and accurate set of interpretative rules for comprehending ancient documents. This work is no less important to preachers, teachers, scholars and theologians than is Mendenhall and Trumbull's seminal work on covenants, Kline's work on covenant law, or Sander's work on the law.
Download or read book Translation Quality Assessment written by Malcolm Williams and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2004-07-31 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outlining an original, discourse-based model for translation quality assessment that goes beyond conventional microtextual error analysis, Malcolm Williams explores the potential of transferring reasoning and argument as the prime criterion of translation quality. Assessment through error analysis is inevitably based on an error count - an unsatisfactory means of establishing, and justifying, differences in quality that forces the evaluator to focus on subsentence elements rather than the key messages of the source text. Williams counters that a judgment of translation quality should be based primarily on the success with which the translator has rendered the reasoning, or argument structure. Six aspects for assessment are proposed: argument macrostructure, propositional functions, conjunctives, types of arguments, figures of speech, and narrative strategy. Williams illustrates the approach using three different types of examples: letters, statistical reports, and argumentative articles for publication. Translation Quality Assessment offers translators a new set of flexible and modular standards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There can never be literary growth in the contemporary world which is devoid of literary criticism, this is the backbone of literary theory. Literature is no longer a mere narration of stories, and prudent literary writers know that great literature is based on theoretical frameworks which give their works an edge in the intellectual world. In this book, Tintinnabulation of Literary Theory: Traversing Genres to Contemporary Experience, Andrew Nyongesa demonstrates how five theoretical frameworks, namely: Marxism, Feminism, Postcolonialism, Psychoanalysis and Stylistic are applied to genres of literature. The last chapter shows how theory has moved away from the lecture hall to real life experience. The book is a practical guide to university students and tutors of literature in their undying desire to embrace Literary Criticism.
