Download or read book Out of What Began written by Gregory A. Schirmer and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book of its kind, Out of What Began traces the development of a distinctive tradition of Irish poetry over the course of three centuries. Beginning with Jonathan Swift in the early eighteenth century and concluding with such contemporary poets as Seamus Heaney and Eavan Boland, Gregory A. Schirmer looks at the work of nearly a hundred poets. Considering the evolving political and social environments in which they lived and wrote, Schirmer shows how Irish poetry and culture have come to be shaped by the struggle to define Irish identity. Schirmer includes a large number of accomplished poets who have been unjustly neglected in standard accounts of Irish literature; many of these writers are women, whose work has been kept in the shadows cast by that of well-known male poets. He also emphasizes the importance of political poetry in a country that continues to be torn by sectarian violence. With its rich selection of poetic voices, Out of What Began reveals the political, social, and religious diversity of Irish culture.

This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 1014 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now it is possible for the first time to trace in a systematic way the language patterns of one of the greatest poets who have written in English, W. B. Yeats. Like A Concordance to the Poems of Matthew Arnold, the first of the Cornell Concordances that are under the general editorship of Professor Parrish, this volume was produced on an IBM 704 electronic data-processing machine. Computer technique has so advanced that the Yeats concordance includes punctuation and gives cross references for the second parts of hyphenated words. The frequency of every word in Yeats's poems is given, and an appendix lists all indexed words in order of frequency. The body of this book consists of an index of all significant words in Yeats, each word listed in the line or lines in which it occurs. The concordance is based on the variorum text of Yeats, edited by Alspach and Allt, and includes all variants that occur in printed versions of Yeats's poems.
Download or read book The Orphans of Carmarthen written by W. B. Baker and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-07-02 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful tale about an equally majestic culture, effortlessly revealed by a writer with a masterful command of language. Best of Carmarthen Carmarthen, Wales A fantastic novel, and a must-read for any native of Wales. Not only are the characters of the people and land portrayed in beautiful, lyrical writing; the spirit of Wales becomes very nearly tangible in this great novel. This work is replete with local superstitions, myths, and legends: giving the reader a clear insight into the heart and mind of a nation. Dragons Under Carmarthen Westminster, England A stunning depiction of post-Roman Wales, The Orphans of Carmarthen captures the natural magic of the rolling countryside. The author is a master of exposition, using words to great effect in painting the poverty and beauty of post-Roman Carmarthen. His knowledge of the local superstitions, myths, and archaeological evidence is remarkably thorough, and woven throughout the adventures of the small boy and his dog. Having been to Carmarthen on several occasions, this book touched the familiar, fond memories and painted the hills along the Towy as well as any artist might have done. While pastoral and tranquil in depicting the love between the pair, the battle of the dragons was nothing short of spectacular. “...a compelling depiction of pre-Christian Wales.” “The author triumphs in creating a work of fiction entirely appropriate to the historical environment, while embracing the regional superstitions and legends of a long-forgotten age.” Gary Mitchell, SPX “Emrys then turned for one last glance and glimpse of the majestic, grappling dragons. How eloquently their unspoken wrath pronounced the finite, matched confrontation of evil and good: how gloriously their encapsulated metaphor for mastery simply diminished all the earth, both above and here beneath. Here was, in simile, the eternal struggle all men fought, played out in bloody, violent terms the whole of humankind might understand. A battle that Emrys surmised neither the red nor white would ever win: the character of each defined within and perhaps only by, the confines of their struggle. Perchance, the pair were true champions of the gods, with no purposed intent other than to fight; surviving but to hold the other one at bay: their existence only ratified in that the crimson was everything the white one realised he was not, and conversely, the ashened dragon only what the red might never be. As he turned to take his leave, Emrys pondered if either was truly virtuous or depraved: if character, even among beasts, might be so easily resolved. Neither yielded when in pain, nor took advantage when its opponent fell; as if each knew full well that one without the other must but eventually die. Only through their magnificent struggle was strength actually verified; only in this savage conflict was the character of each truly defined.” The regions of Wales have long been the source of timeless legends; stories that, somewhere in mankind’s memory and dreams, might well be based in fact. Just such a legend is the ancient account of a fatherless boy who lived near Carmarthen; an orphaned child who shunned the companionship of men; who lived among wizards and fantastic dragons; whose solitary life changed the course of one nation’s destiny. The counties of Clwyd, Dyfed, Gwent, Powys, and Gwynedd are as distinct in features as the five oceans, while remaining as inseparable in character as the five points of a single star. Likewise, the separate valleys of Glamorgan, while sharing a common inclusive mythological history, distinguish themselves from each other within the specifics of folklore and legend. The Orphans of Carmarthen concerns itself with the sociological and religious climate of the Towy

Download or read book New Bearings in English Poetry written by F. R. Leavis and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is difficult now to imagine the shock that this book caused when it was first published in 1932. The author was a teacher at a Cambridge college, an intensely serious man who had been seriously wounded by poison gas on the Western Front, and he was not disposed to suffer foolishness gladly. His opening sentences were arresting: 'Poetry matters little to the modern world. That is, very little of contemporary intelligence concerns itself with poetry'. What followed was nothing less than the welcoming of a revolution in English verse, set against the moral and social crisis that followed the trauma of the First World War. It was this situation, this feeling of breakdown and disorder, that gave such force to Leavis's dismissal of most late Romantic poetry and his welcoming of the modernists T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, and of the writer who Leavis regarded as their forebear, Gerard Manley Hopkins. The tone of high moral urgency, and the message that the experience of literature could become an engagement with life that was almost a secular equivalent to religion, seemed new and abrasively refreshing. Leavis despised the reigning dilettantism in both poetry and criticism, and in this book he threw down the gauntlet to the establishment as he understood it. In the same year he founded the journal Scrutiny, and began his long career as the most formidably serious literary critic of his time.
Download or read book Unlocking the Poetry of W B Yeats written by Daniel Tompsett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-06-13 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlocking the Poetry of W.B. Yeats undertakes a thorough re-reading of Yeats' oeuvre as an extended meditation on the image and theme of the heart as it is evident within the poetry. It places the heart at the centre of a complex web of Yeatsian preoccupations and associations—from the biographical, to the poetic and philosophical, to the mythological and mystical. In particular, the book seeks to unlock Yeats’ mystifying aesthetic vision via his understanding of the ancient Egyptian "Weighing of the Heart" ceremony. The work provides a chronological narrative arc that looks to use the theme of the heart as it recurs in the poetry in order to circumvent and overcome more established frameworks. Its purpose is to offer refreshing ways of conceptualizing and building alternatives to more deeply entrenched, but not entirely satisfactory arguments that have been offered since Yeats' death in 1939, while demonstrating the centrality of the occult to Yeats' art.
