Download or read book Revolver written by Robyn Schiff and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2008-04 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As restless, reckless, and precise as the Colt revolver for which it is named, Robyn Schiff’s Revolver “repeats fire without reloading” as it reckons with the array of foreboding objects displayed at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the traces of their ghosts one hundred years later. A dirge on the Singer Sewing Machine, an exuberant and unnerving rumination on multipurpose campaign furniture, and a breathless account of Ralph Lauren’s silver Porsche 550 Spyder are among the collection’s exhilarating corporate histories, urgent fantasias, and agonizing love poems. The long, lavish, and utterly unpredictable sentences that Schiff has assembled contort as much to discover what can’t be contained as what can. This is a book of extremes relentlessly contemporary in scope. And like the eighty-blade sportsman’s knife also described here, Revolver keeps opening and reopening to the daunting possibilities of transformation—“Splayed it is a bouquet of all the ways a point mutates.” from “Silverware by J. A. Henckels” Let me be as streamlined as my knife when I say this. As cold as my three-pronged fork that cools the meat even as it steadies it. A pettiness in me was honed in this cutlers’ town, later bombed, in which Adolf Eichmann, who was born there alongside my wedding pattern, could hear the constant sharpening of knives like some children hear the corn in their hometowns talking to them through the wind. The horizon is just the score they breathe through like a box of chickens breathing through a slit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book challenges the common view that the Exhibition symbolized peace, progress, prosperity, and the emergence of an industrial middle class. Auerbach suggests instead that the Great Exhibition became a cultural battlefield on which proponents of different visions of industrialization, modernization, and internationalism fought for ascendancy in the struggle for a new national identity."--BOOK JACKET.

This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Results of the Great Exhibition of 1851: Delivered Before the Society of Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce; The Suggestion of H. R. H. Prince Albert, President of the Society To write or speak the Epilogue after any great and grand Drama is by no means an easy task. Wesee the confession Of the difficulty in the very incongruity Of the manner in which the task is sometimes attempted; as, when after the curtain has fallen upon a deep and solemn tragedy, some startling attempt at wit and pleasantry is uttered to the audience; it may be by one of the characters, whose deep sorrows or lofty aims we have been following with the pro foundest interest. You will, at least, on the present occa sion, not have the difficulty of the task shown in this manner. Nor, indeed, is it my office, in any sense, to speak an epilogue at all. Perhaps such remarks as I have to make may rather be likened to the criticism which comes after the drama. For, as you know, Criticism does come after Poetry: the age of Criticism after the age Of Poetry; Aristotle after sopho cles, Longinus after Homer. And the reason of this has been well pointed out in our time - that words, that human language, appear in the form in which the poet utters them, and works with them for his purposes, before they appear in the form in which the critic must use them: language is picturesque and affecting, first; it is philosophical and critical afterwards -it is first concrete, then abstract - it acts first, it analyzes afterwards. And this is the case, not with words only, but with works also. The Poet, as the Greeks called him, was the Maker, as our English fathers, also, were wont to call him. And man's power Of making may show itself not only in the beautiful texture Of language, the grand machinery Of the epic, the sublime display of poetical imagery; but in those material works which supply the originals from which are taken the derivative terms which I have just been compelled to use in the Textures of soft wool, or fine linen, or glossy silk, where the fancy disports itself in wreaths Of visible flowers; in the Machinery.
