Download or read book Rural Life in Eighteenth Century English Poetry written by John Goodridge and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research into a self-taught tradition of English rural poetry has begun to offer a radically new dimension to our view of the role of poetry in the literary culture of the eighteenth century. In this important new study John Goodridge offers a detailed reading of key rural poems of the period, examines the ways in which eighteenth-century poets adapted Virgilian Georgic models, and reveals an illuminating link between rural poetry and agricultural and folkloric developments. Goodridge compares poetic accounts of rural labour by James Thomson, Stephen Duck, and Mary Collier, and makes a close analysis of one of the largely forgotten didactic epics of the eighteenth century, John Dyer's The Fleece. Through an exploration of the purpose of rural poetry and how it relates to the real world, Goodridge breaks through the often brittle surface of eighteenth-century poetry, to show how it reflects the ideologies and realities of contemporary life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems of English Country Life: Selected and Edited With Introduction and Notes The purpose of this little collection is to supply one more book of English poetry, which may be studied as an alternative to Shakespeare. It is well that boys and girls should make acquaintance in the way of school work with other English literature besides the works of the great dramatist, which are moreover too hard for many classes. Nature-poetry is a plant specially of English growth, and therefore specially worthy of attention in English education; and the study of it has the further advantage that it should quicken observation of nature itself. We have limited our choice to poetry dealing with nature as it may be seen in England, because, a selection having to be made somehow, it seemed good to direct attention in the first place to things which are to be seen at home. And we have included poetry dealing with country pursuits, as likely to be specially interesting to the young. It may seem strange that there is no poetry about the sea in this volume; but, except for short isolated passages, the sea has been almost entirely neglected by the great English poets down to the present generation.

Download or read book A Village Life written by Louise Glück and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-07-08 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE A dreamlike collection from the Nobel Prize-winning poet A Village Life, Louise Glück's eleventh collection of poems, begins in the topography of a village, a Mediterranean world of no definite moment or place: All the roads in the village unite at the fountain. Avenue of Liberty, Avenue of the Acacia Trees— The fountain rises at the center of the plaza; on sunny days, rainbows in the piss of the cherub. —from "tributaries" Around the fountain are concentric circles of figures, organized by age and in degrees of distance: fields, a river, and, like the fountain's opposite, a mountain. Human time superimposed on geologic time, all taken in at a glance, without any undue sensation of speed. Glück has been known as a lyrical and dramatic poet; since Ararat, she has shaped her austere intensities into book-length sequences. Here, for the first time, she speaks as "the type of describing, supervising intelligence found in novels rather than poetry," as Langdon Hammer has written of her long lines—expansive, fluent, and full—manifesting a calm omniscience. While Glück's manner is novelistic, she focuses not on action but on pauses and intervals, moments of suspension (rather than suspense), in a dreamlike present tense in which poetic speculation and reflection are possible.

Download or read book Country Life in the Poetry of John Clare written by Mildred M. Coen and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-05-19 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work acts as a window into the country life of England during the late 18th to early 19th century. It was the period when John Clare lived and flourished as a poet. No one had ever written more powerfully about nature, rural childhood, and the alienated and unstable self the way Clare did. He was regarded as the greatest laboring-class poet that originated from England and became famous for honoring the English countryside and grieving its disruption. His work experienced major re-evaluation in the late 20th century, and he is now often seen as a significant 19th-century poet. The author begins with an interesting background of the period discussing the economic conditions, and then engages the readers with a short biography of John Clare. He then moves forward and analyzes the country life as portrayed in the famous poems of Clare and how the poet wrote with an artistic purpose even in those times of disorder. Contents include: Economic Conditions In The Time Of John Clare The Life Of John Clare Country Life In The Poetry Of John Clare

Download or read book Robert Frost s Poetry of Rural Life written by George Monteiro and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-02-13 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wise old Vergil says in one of his Georgics, 'Praise large farms, stick to small ones,'" Robert Frost said. "Twenty acres are just about enough." Frost started out as a school teacher living the rural life of a would-be farmer, and later turned to farming full time when he bought a place of his own. After a sojourn in England where his first two books were published to critical acclaim, he returned to New England, acquired a new farm and became a rustic for much of the rest of his life. Frost claimed that all of his poetry was farm poetry. His deep admiration for Virgil's Georgics, or poems of rural life, inspired the creation of his own New England "georgics," his answer to the haughty 20th-century modernism that seemed certain to define the future of Western poetry. Like the "West-Running Brook" in his poem of the same name, Frost's poetry can be seen as an embodiment of contrariness.
