Book A C  Swinburne and the Singing Word

Download or read book A C Swinburne and the Singing Word written by Yisrael Levin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-16 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on Algernon Charles Swinburne's later writings, this collection makes a case for the seriousness and significance of the writer's mature work. While Swinburne's scandalous early poetry has received considerable critical attention, the thoughtful, rich, spiritually and politically informed poetry that began to emerge in his thirties has been generally neglected. This volume addresses the need for a fuller understanding of Swinburne's career that includes his fiction, aesthetic ideology, and analyses of Shakespeare and the great French writers. Among the key features of the collection is the contextualizing of Swinburne's work in new contexts such as Victorian mythography, continental aestheticism, positivism, and empiricism. Individual essays examine, among other topics, the dialect poems and Swinburne's position as a regional poet, Swinburne as a transition figure from nineteenth-century aesthetic writing to the professionalized criticism that dominates the twentieth century, Swinburne's participation in the French literary scene, Swinburne's friendships with women writers, and the selections made for anthologies from the nineteenth century to the present. Taken together, the essays offer scholars a richer portrait of Swinburne's importance as a poet, critic, and fiction writer.

Book The British Literary Ballad

Download or read book The British Literary Ballad written by George Malcolm Laws and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most ballad scholarship has focused on the ballad as purely a folk form, and very few scholars or other readers of poetry have a clear idea of the effects of ballads on dozens of literary figures or of the ballad as an art form. Professor Laws, whose previous authoritative works include Native American Balladry and American Balladry from British Broadsides, here provides the first expert study of balladry by sophisticated poets writing for literate audiences. Professor Laws first summarizes the two stylistic groups of ballads, then categorizes the ballad’s subject matter, and shows the range and variety of balladry in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In addition, Professor Laws discusses contemporary literary ballads which use ballad form but employ language and subject matter of their own, citing examples from Hardy, Housman, and Auden, among others. This comprehensive treatment indicates fully the significance of literary ballads in the study of English poetry. A much needed work, it no doubt will become standard for eighteenth- to twentieth-century poetic studies.

Book The poems of Elizabeth Siddal in context

Download or read book The poems of Elizabeth Siddal in context written by Anne Woolley and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ground breaking new book that considers all Siddal poems with reference to female and primarily male counterparts, adding substantially to knowledge of her work as a writer, and their shared contemporary concerns. Dante Rossetti, Swinburne, Tennyson, Ruskin and Keats were either known to her or a source of influence on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with which she was associated, and certain of their texts are compared with hers to discuss interplay between erotic and spiritual love, the ballad tradition, nineteenth-century feminism, and the Romantic concept of the conjoined physical and spectral body. Siddal’s artwork is used to introduce each chapter, while other Pre-Raphaelite paintings illuminate the texts and further the inter-disciplinary philosophy of the Brotherhood. This important and stimulating book focuses on the intrinsic merit of Siddal’s poetics whilst advocating a research method that could have multiple applications elsewhere.

Book Algernon Charles Swinburne

Download or read book Algernon Charles Swinburne written by Algernon Charles Swinburne and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) is, with Browning and Tennyson, one of the touchstone Victorian poets. He was a major critic and an important fiction writer as well. Emerging out of the Pre-Raphaelite circle, his bold and innovative work made him both a celebrated and controversial writer at home and a figure of international importance. Hugo, Baudelaire, and Mallarm� were among his great admirers. Jerome McGann and Charles L. Sligh now present a generous sampling of Swinburne’s poetry and prose. This wide-ranging collection satisfies a long need for a comprehensive selection of Swinburne’s work. It is accompanied by learned and critically incisive commentaries and notes.

Book The Rise and Fall of the Femme Fatale in British Literature  1790   1910

Download or read book The Rise and Fall of the Femme Fatale in British Literature 1790 1910 written by Heather L. Braun and published by Fairleigh Dickinson. This book was released on 2012-08-31 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rise and Fall of the Femme Fatale: From Gothic Ghosts to Victorian Vamps explores the femme fatale’s careerin nineteenth-century British literature. It traces her evolution—and devolution—formally, historically, and ideologically through a selection of plays, poems, novels, and personal correspondence. Considering well-known fatal women alongside more obscure ones, The Rise and Fall of the Femme Fatale sheds new light on emerging notions of gender, sexuality, and power throughout the long nineteenth century. By placing the fatal woman in a still developing literary and cultural narrative, this study examines how the femme fatale adapts over time, reflecting popular tastes and socio-economic landscapes.
