Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this extensive study of two of the most celebrated seventeenth-century religious poets, Robert Whalen examines the role of sacrament in the formation of early modern religious subjectivity. For John Donne and George Herbert, sacramental topoi became powerful conceptual tools with which to explore both the intersection of spiritual and material aspects of human experience and their competing claims to Christianity. Whalen's argument builds upon his central idea of 'sacramental Puritanism, ' or the effort to cultivate a Calvinist sense of interiority through a fully ceremonial apparatus, and thereby to reconcile the potentially disparate imperatives of sacrament and devotion. Unique in its combination of current historiography and informed analysis, its attention to the sacramental features of Donne's 'secular' lyrics, and its advancement of sacramental thought as an important element of Renaissance English culture, The Poetry of Immanence illuminates a crucial dimension of the work of two major Stuart writers. In his comprehensive critical readings, Whalen offers a substantial contribution to the increasing study of religious themes and devotion in the literature of the early modern period.
Download or read book Immanence written by James Howard Trott and published by Oak and Yew Press. This book was released on 2015-02-10 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first selected collection of poetry of James Howard Trott, but not the first time his work has appeared in print. He and his wife, Roseann, put together an anthology of "Christian poetry in English from Caedmon to the mid-twentieth century" under the title A Sacrifice of Praise, published in 1999. An expanded edition came out in 2006. This door-stop of a book received favorable reviews in a number of circles, and was used as a literature text in several colleges. The poet also has published several chapbooks over the years, including "The Big Lights" and "Prisoner's Pardons," and a number of the poems in this collection first appeared in various periodicals. It was Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach who said "The manuscript in the drawer either rots or ripens." (Aphorisms, 1880) The poems in this collection range from 27 to 48 years old. In an age where computers are obsolete in two months, and the list of "good books" changes constantly, some readers may feel they are too old to be interesting, while others may agree with the poet that time has little effect on poetry, except in the sense von E.-E. indicated. This collection is titled Immanence, and the poetry is founded on the poet's conviction that revealed throughout or within all existence is something abiding, true, and worth knowing. The poems seem to have a wide range of subjects, from brief clips of everyday existence to dramatic events and panoramas. There are "nature poems" and "religious poems." The moods swing from calm contemplation to joy to almost raging, in a few. Some are light-hearted or worshipful. To locate these poems in a tradition, one might consider the poet's own professed favorites, the metaphysical John Donne, and the gnomic Emily Dickinson. Nor can the poet escape his geographical genealogy - so that Montana's wide spaces and New England's Frosty landscapes often show up as attitudes or settings. Finally, the poet is Christian in his professed faith, his concerns, and his perspectives. He seems to treat the biblical narrative as alive and true in the same way as his own experiences or the natural world. He is not seeking "truth" as a will-o-the-wisp or a mythical opponent, but as one looks for a person who may be found, who is immanent. Immanence is the title of the collection, but the first poem is "Imminence" (sic), and by the time one has read these poems, there can be no doubt but what the poet regards the one who is imminent to be the one who is immanent, that is Jesus the Christ. In order to complete the word list, we might suggest the poems gathered here also treat him as eminent.

Download or read book The Cambridge Guide to Homer written by Corinne Ondine Pache and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-05 with total page 974 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its ancient incarnation as a song to recent translations in modern languages, Homeric epic remains an abiding source of inspiration for both scholars and artists that transcends temporal and linguistic boundaries. The Cambridge Guide to Homer examines the influence and meaning of Homeric poetry from its earliest form as ancient Greek song to its current status in world literature, presenting the information in a synthetic manner that allows the reader to gain an understanding of the different strands of Homeric studies. The volume is structured around three main themes: Homeric Song and Text; the Homeric World, and Homer in the World. Each section starts with a series of 'macropedia' essays arranged thematically that are accompanied by shorter complementary 'micropedia' articles. The Cambridge Guide to Homer thus traces the many routes taken by Homeric epic in the ancient world and its continuing relevance in different periods and cultures.
Download or read book Literature and the Encounter with Immanence written by Brynnar Swenson and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Literature and the Encounter with Immanence Brynnar Swenson collects nine original essays that approach the relationship between literature and immanence through methodologies grounded in the philosophy of Spinoza. One of Spinoza’s most provocative claims is a simple declaration of ignorance: “We do not know what a body can do.” A literary theory based on immanence privileges the ontological status of the text and the material act of reading. Rather than ask what a text means, the essays here ask what a text can do. Each essay documents a distinct literary and philosophical encounter with immanence and, as a result, opens up a space to read literature as one would read philosophy and vice versa.

Download or read book Immanence and the Vertigo of Philosophy written by Christian Kerslake and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the terminological constants in the philosophical work of Gilles Deleuze is the word 'immanence', and it has therefore become a foothold for those wishing to understand exactly what 'Deleuzian philosophy' is. Deleuze's philosophy of immanence is held to be fundamentally characterised by its opposition to all philosophies of 'transcendence'. On that basis, it is widely believed that Deleuze's project is premised on a return to a materialist metaphysics. Christian Kerslake argues that such an interpretation is fundamentally misconceived, and has led to misunderstandings of Deleuze's philosophy, which is rather one of the latest heirs to the post-Kantian tradition of thought about immanence. This will be the first book to assess Deleuze's relationship to Kantian epistemology and post-Kantian philosophy, and will attempt to make Deleuze's philosophy intelligible to students working within that tradition. But it also attempts to reconstruct our image of the post-Kantian tradition, isolating a lineage that takes shape in the work of Schelling and Wronski, and which is developed in the twentieth century by Bergson, Warrain and Deleuze.
