Download or read book Elegant Jeremiahs Routledge Revivals written by George P. Landow and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labelled "an elegant Jeremiah" by a journalist of his day, the urbane Victorian Matthew Arnold must have received the comparison with the Old Testament prophet uneasily. Writing in the 1970s, Norman Mailer seems to owe nothing to the biblical for his description of a long hot wait to buy a cold drink while reporting on the first voyage to the moon. Yet both Arnold and Mailer, George P. Landow asserts in this book, are sages, writers in the nonfiction prose form of secular prophecy, a genre richly influenced by the episodic structures and harshly critical attitudes toward society which characterize Old Testament prophetic literature. In this book, first published in 1986, Landow defines the genre by exploring its rhetoric, an approach that enables him to illuminate the relationships among representative works of the nineteenth century to one another, to biblical, oratorical, and homiletic traditions, and to such twentieth-century writers as Lawrence, Didion, and Mailer.

Download or read book Thinking Through Style written by Michael D. Hurley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-01-05 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is 'style', and how does it relate to thought in language? It has often been treated as something merely linguistic, independent of thought, ornamental; stylishness for its own sake. Or else it has been said to subserve thought, by mimicking, delineating, or heightening ideas that are already expressed in the words. This ambitious and timely book explores a third, more radical possibility in which style operates as a verbal mode of thinking through. Rather than figure thought as primary and pre-verbal, and language as a secondary delivery system, style is conceived here as having the capacity to clarify or generate thinking. The book's generic focus is on non-fiction prose, and it looks across the long nineteenth century. Leading scholars survey twenty authors to show where writers who have gained reputations as either 'stylists' or as 'thinkers' exploit the interplay between 'the what' and 'the how' of their prose. The study demonstrates how celebrated stylists might, after all, have thoughts worth attending to, and that distinguished thinkers might be enriched for us if we paid more due to their style. More than reversing the conventional categories, this innovative volume shows how 'style' and 'thinking' can be approached as a shared concern. At a moment when, especially in nineteenth-century studies, interest in style is re-emerging, this book revaluates some of the most influential figures of that age, re-imagining the possible alliances, interplays, and generative tensions between thinking, thinkers, style, and stylists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeremiah in History and Tradition examines aspects of the Book of Jeremiah from a variety of perspectives including historical, textual, redaction, and feminist criticism, as well as the history of its reception. The book looks afresh at the Book of Jeremiah through the lens of intertextuality and reception history in the broadest sense, exploring Jeremiah in its historical context as well as the later history and interpretation of the text, and also reconsidering aspects of the Book of Jeremiah's traditions. This volume features essays from a unique assembly of scholars, both seasoned and new. It is divided into two parts: Jeremiah in History, which explores a variety of readings of Jeremiah from the point of view of classical historical criticism; and Jeremiah in Tradition, which discusses the portraits and use of both the book and the figure of Jeremiah in extra-biblical traditions. Offering challenging new theories, Jeremiah in History and Tradition is invaluable to scholars and students in the field of Biblical Studies. It is a useful resource for anyone working on the interpretation of the biblical text and the readings of the text of Jeremiah throughout history.

CHAPTER VII IN THE WAKE OF THE REFORM WE have now entered upon the second period of Jeremiah's career. The promulgation of the Deuteronomic law in 621 was an event which could not fail to change the character of his ministry whatever his original attitude to that transaction may have been. From that time till the tragic death of Josiah in 608 we may assume that an effort was made to carry out the legislative provisions of the Covenant; and Jeremiah must have watched with deep concern the effect of the new order of things on the religious temper of the nation. Soon after the death of Josiah the threatening aspect of foreign affairs made Jeremiah a prominent actor on the stage of history, and he continued to work in the full blaze of publicity till near the end of his life. Between these dates there is an interval of about thirteen years during which our knowledge of the prophet's activity is certainly very imperfect. It has been a common opinion among his commentators that so far as extant prophecies are concerned this interval is an almost complete blank in his history. The fact is sometimes explained by the assumption that the conduct of public affairs was very much in harmony with Jeremiah's ideals and gave him no occasion to intervene; sometimes by the suggestion that he had been reduced to silence by the failure of his early Scythian predictions. Neither of these considerations has much plausibility in itself, and the fact which they are put forward to explain is at least incapable of proof. When Jeremiah says (xxv. 3) that he had exercised an unremitting ministry of three and twenty years from the thirteenth year of Josiah to the fourth of Jehoiakim, it would be surprising if more than the half of that period had left no literary...
