Download or read book War s Embers and Other Verses written by Ivor Gurney and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "War's Embers, and Other Verses" is the second volume of Gurney's war poetry, following 'Severn and Somme,'. This collection of poems was released in May 1919 and contains the following poems: 'In a Ward,' 'Camps,' 'The Volunteer,' 'Ypres-Minsterworth,' 'Hospital Pictures,' and 'The Battalion Is Now On Rest' The two collections' titles are significant and prophetic. First, as evidenced by many of his war poems, his love of the Gloucestershire countryside and desire to return there after witnessing the devastation on the Western Front is unmistakable. Second, the war would have an ongoing impact on Gurney until his death, and he would refer to his experiences there in later poems.'

Download or read book Modern English War Poetry written by Tim Kendall and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-07-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tim Kendall's study offers the fullest account to date of a tradition of modern English war poetry. Stretching from the Boer War to the present day, it focuses on many of the twentieth-century's finest poets - combatants and non-combatants alike - and considers how they address the ethical challenges of making art out of violence. Poetry, we are often told, makes nothing happen. But war makes poetry happen: the war poet cannot regret, and must exalt at, even the most appalling experiences. Modern English War Poetry not only assesses the problematic relationship between war and its poets, it also encourages an urgent reconsideration of the modern poetry canon and the (too often marginalised) position of war poetry within it. The aesthetic and ethical values on which canonical judgements have been based are carefully scrutinized via a detailed analysis of individual poets. The poets discussed include Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, Wilfred Owen, Charlotte Mew, Edward Thomas, Ivor Gurney, W. H. Auden, Keith Douglas, Ted Hughes, and Geoffrey Hill.
Download or read book The Poetry of Clare Hopkins Thomas and Gurney written by Andrew Hodgson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attends to four poets – John Clare, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Edward Thomas, and Ivor Gurney – whose poems are remarkable for their personal directness and distinctiveness. It shows how their writing conveys a potently individual quality of feeling, perception, and experience: each poet responds with unusual commitment to the Romantic idea of art as personal expression. The book looks closely at the vitality and intricacy of the poets’ language, the personal candour of their subject matter, and their sense, obdurate but persuasive, of their own strangeness. As it traces the tact and imagination with which each of the four writers realises the possibilities of individualism in lyric, it affirms the vibrancy of their contributions to nineteenth and twentieth-century poetry.

Download or read book Symphony and Song written by Victor Kennedy and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Symphony and Song takes its title from Coleridge’s poem “Kubla Khan,” and explores the relation between words and music from a variety of critical and practical perspectives. The contributors to this volume apply recent theoretical approaches ranging from the “Mozart Effect” in cognitive psychology, through stylistics and conceptual metaphor, to transtextuality in the analysis of a range of songs, song lyrics, poetry, ekphrastic prose, and instrumental music. Topics explored here include opera and pop music from around the world, Australian Aboriginal oral poetry, political instrumentalization and censorship of song lyrics, and teaching foreign language using songs.
Download or read book Handbook of British Literature and Culture of the First World War written by Ralf Schneider and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 595 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First World War has given rise to a multifaceted cultural production like no other historical event. This handbook surveys British literature and film about the war from 1914 until today. The continuing interest in World War I highlights the interdependence of war experience, the imaginative re-creation of that experience in writing, and individual as well as collective memory. In the first part of the handbook, the major genres of war writing and film are addressed, including of course poetry and the novel, but also the short story; furthermore, it is shown how our conception of the Great War is broadened when looked at from the perspective of gender studies and post-colonial criticism. The chapters in the second part present close readings of important contributions to the literary and filmic representation of World War I in Great Britain. All in all, the contributions demonstrate how the opposing forces of focusing and canon-formation on the one hand, and broadening and revision of the canon on the other, have characterised British literature and culture of the First World War.

Download or read book Collected Critical Writings written by Geoffrey Hill and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 827 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Collected Critical Writings gathers more than forty years of Hill's published criticism, in a revised final form, and also adds much new work. It will serve as the canonical volume of criticism by Hill, the pre-eminent poet-critic whom A. N. Wilson has called "probably the best writer alive, in verse or in prose." In his criticism Hill ranges widely, investigating both poets (including Jonson, Dryden, Hopkins, Whitman, Eliot, and Yeats ) and prose writers (such as Tyndale, Clarendon, Hobbes, Burton, Emerson, and F. H. Bradley). He is also steeped in the historical context - political, poetic, and religious - of the writers he studies. Most importantly, he brings texts and contexts into new and telling relations, neither reducing texts to the circumstances of their utterance nor imagining that they can float free of them. A number of the essays have already established themselves as essential reading on particular subjects, such as his analysis of Vaughan's "The Night", his discussion of Gurney's poetry, and his critical account of The Oxford English Dictionary. Others confront the problems of language and the nature of value directly, as in "Our Word is Our Bond", "Language, Suffering, and Value", and "Poetry and Value". In all his criticism, Hill reveals literature to be an essential arena of civic intelligence.
