Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tennyson's Use of the Bible In his essay on Dryden, Macaulay incidentally characterizes the English Bible as "a book which, if everything else in our language should perish would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power." Tho statement carries more of accuracy tban of hyperbole. Eor the English Bible contains almost every species of literature and contains each species in varied forms. The historic books are fine examples of simple narration. They arc impartial and objective in quality and often dramatic, vivid, and picturesque. They run the whole scale from the naive biographies of the patriarchs to the dignified annals of the Kings. The prophets afford examples of eloquence which in richness of diction, in pathos, and iu austere rebuke have never been surpassed. Tho lyric outbursts of the Psalms compare favorably with any other similar utterance of the troubled or gladdened heart. The idyl of Ruth was included in one of the volumes of "Little Classics" by a critical editor whose selections were much commended. Among elegies the Lamentations of Jeremiah have a secure position. Popular and laconic wisdom is constantly quoted from the book of Proverbs. Ecclesiastes is a philosophic meditation. Job is an Epic, - "The Epic of the Inner Life" as Prof. Genung styles it. And finally, the Song of Songs reveals something very much like the shifting scenes and dialogues of the drama. Many biblical critics place it in that class. If we take into consideration the various general qualities of literature, the Bible still affords a broad vision. W. Trail, in his Library Characteristics and Achievements of the Bible,1 devotes instructive chapters, each with numerous sub-headings, to The Figurative, The Sublime, The Pathetic, The Picturesque, and The Poetic in the Scriptures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lord Tennyson and the Bible Tennyson and Koheleth - in Dr. Plumptre's Ecclesiastes, in the Cambridge Bible for Schools. It is an admirable example of exact work in this department. In it the learned author (whose recent decease has occasioned widespread regret) traces the parallelism of Tennyson in the In Memoriam, The Vision of Sin, The Two Voices, and The Palace of Art, with the Confessions of the Debater, whom he supposes to be an Alexandrian Jew, who, writing about 200 years before the Christian era, adopted the dramatic personation of Solomon's character as a form of authorship. The most important contribution, however, that has yet been made to the study of Tennyson's knowledge and use of the Bible is the work of an American divine-the Rev. Henry Van Dyke, D.D., of New York City. It appears as an appendix to a. Volume entitled The Poetry of Tennyson. The Biblical. Allusions there given number 282. The. Author appends a note, in which he says, This list is probably very far from being complete.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book treats the poetics of biblical allusion in the lyric poetry of William Butler Yeats, and the ways in which the King James Bible became for Yeats a model for poetry as a communal voice shaping a culture." "The introduction analyzes the critical history of what Eleanor Cook has termed the "poetics of allusion," emphasizing the work of the Italian rhetorician Gian Biago Conte and the American critic and poet John Hollander. The major topics considered here are allusions as the intersections of texts, as figures of speech, and as structural signifiers; the centrality of the reader in the study of allusion; the quality of allusions, their placement and varying degrees of clarity; and the centrality of the study of allusion to cultural criticism." "The first chapter is concerned with the development of the Bible as a model for secular poetry from the late eighteenth century to Yeats, surveying Bishop Lowth, Blake, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley, and Matthew Arnold, as well as Yeats's references in his prose works to the Bible as a model for art and the artist, and his desire to restore the Bible as sacred text, yet write his own Bible." "Chapters 2 through 5 take up in detail the poetics of biblical allusion and echo in the poems. Chapter 2 treats the poetry of the nineties: here Yeats usually engages the Bible as an antagonist, subverting it for the sake of a Celtic consciousness, denying its exclusive claim to spiritual truth. But many biblical echoes show Yeats's dependence upon the Bible as a guide to poetic language. Chapter 3 concerns the poetry from In the Seven Worlds to The Wild Swans at Coole. Yeats looks on Scripture with an ironic eye, often replacing it with what he calls "haughtier texts," the parables, prayers, visions, and private revelations that mirror biblical models and make biblical texts into warrants for his own theory of rebirth. Chapter 4 is a close reading of biblical intertextuality in seven poems: "The Second Coming," "Sailing to Byzantium," "Meditations in Time of Civil War," "Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen," "Prayer for My Son," "Dialogue of Self and Soul," and "Vacillation." In these major poems Yeats displays his antitheticality, as Hazard Adams calls it, putting into dramatic tension biblical texts and his own heterodox ideas about birth, death, and resurrection. Chapter 5 examines the poetry after "Vacillation," where Yeats gives biblical texts (often text used before) a new sensual gloss, but also admits the limits of a "high talk" derived from scriptural language." "Chapter 6 places Yeats in the broad context of biblical intertextuality, working backward from modernism to Romanticism. First, the study contrasts Yeats with two of his contemporaries, D. H. Lawrence and T. S. Eliot, for whom the Bible always asserts its religious authority, in the Victorian tradition of Arnold, Clough, Browning, and Tennyson. The study concludes by comparing Yeats to Wordsworth and Shelley. Although Yeats is deeply indebted to them, his attitude is distinct from theirs: even when rejecting the Bible, Wordsworth. and Shelley accept a dogmatic view of it, while Yeats escapes dogmatism."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian Poets and the Changing Bible charts the impact of post-Enlightenment biblical criticism on English literary culture. The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw a widespread reevaluation of biblical inspiration, in which the Bible’s poetic nature came to be seen as an integral part of its religious significance. Understandably, then, many poets who followed this interpretative revolution—including Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Robert Browning, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning—came to reconceive their highest vocational ambitions: if the Bible is essentially poetry, then modern poetry might perform a cultural role akin to that of scripture. This context equally illuminates the aims and achievements of famous Victorian unbelievers such as Arthur Hugh Clough and George Eliot, who also responded enthusiastically to the poetic ideal of an inspired text. Building upon a recent and ongoing reevaluation of religion as a vital aspect of Victorian culture, Charles LaPorte shows the enduring relevance of religion in a period usually associated with its decline. In doing so, he helps to delineate the midcentury shape of a literary dynamic that is generally better understood in Romantic poetry of the earlier part of the century. The poets he examines all wrestled with modern findings about the Bible's fortuitous historical composition, yet they owed much of their extraordinary literary success to their ability to capitalize upon the progress of avant-garde biblical interpretation. This book's revisionary and provocative thesis speaks not only to the course of English poetics but also to the logic of nineteenth-century literary hierarchies and to the continuing evolution of religion in the modern era.
