Download or read book Description and Narrative in Middle English Alliterative Poetry written by Thorlac Turville-Petre and published by Exeter Medieval Texts and Stud. This book was released on 2018 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The characteristic alliterative poem of the 14th and 15th centuries tells a story of incident and adventure: it is pre-eminently the poetry of narrative. Yet it is also, more than any other kind of medieval verse, remarkable for passages of vivid description, taking advantage of the extraordinary rich verbal resources of the alliterative poets and the characteristic strengths of the alliterative line. Memorable examples are the green chapel in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the storm at sea in Patience, the dream-landscape in Pearl, and the mysterious tomb in St Erkenwald; there are violent battle-scenes, descriptions of hunting and hawking, beautiful meadows and terrifying mountains, purling streams and wild rivers. Here is a seeming contradiction, or at least a tension that needs to be explored. The descriptive passages are digressions that interrupt the narrative; the story must pause to take in a visual effect. In Description and Narrative in Middle English Alliterative Poetry, Thorlac Turville-Petre explores this relationship between description and narrative, and the contribution of description to the narrative. Passages from all the major alliterative poems are analysed, and translated as necessary, so that the book may meet the needs of students as well as scholars familiar with the language and the topics discussed.

Download or read book G M Hopkins Poetry Preaches the Word of God written by Dr A. Antony and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book, G.M. Hopkins’ Poetry Preaches the Word of God, begins with an account of the relation between art and religion in general and art and literature in particular. This is followed by five chapters; the first four of them are a discussion on the four divisions of the Bible and an attempt to classify Hopkins’ poetry under these four biblical divisions. This is followed by the conclusion that the poetry of Hopkins attempts to preach the Bible to effect the conversion of the readers, particularly the people of England to the Catholic Church.
Download or read book Stylistics and the Teaching of Literature written by H.G. Widdowson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume forms part of the Applied Linguistics and Language Study collection that looks at the field of analysing and appreciating literary texts. First published in 1975, this text makes a considerable contribution to extending our view of the principles underlying language teaching and curriculum design. The author begins by distinguishing the idea that discipline from the pedagogic subject in order to demonstrate that stylistics is Janus like in the way it can be treated, for example, at school or university, as a way from linguistics to literary study or the reverse. To understand this bidirectionality he explains distinctions between the linguist’s text and the critic’s messages by introducing the concept of discourse as a means through which to understand the communicative value of passages of language.
