Book The Reception of P  B  Shelley in Europe

Download or read book The Reception of P B Shelley in Europe written by Susanne Schmid and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-21 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The widespread and culturally significant impact of Percy Bysshe Shelley's writings in Europe constitutes a particularly interesting case for a reception study because of the variety of responses they evoked. If radical readers cherished the 'red' Shelley, others favoured the lyrical poet, whose work was, like Byron's, anthologized and set to music. His major dramatic works, The Cenci and Prometheus Unbound, inspired numerous fin-de-siècle and expressionist dramatists and producers from Paris to Moscow. Shelley was read by, and influenced, the novelist Stendhal, the political theorist Engels, the Spanish symbolist Jiménez, and the Russian modernist poet Akhmatova. This exciting collection of essays by an international team of leading scholars considers translations, critical and biographical reviews, fictionalizations of his life, and other creative responses. It probes into transnational cross-currents to demonstrate the depth of Shelley's impact on European culture since his death in 1822. It will be an indispensable research resource for academics, critics, and writers with interests in Romanticism and its legacies.

Book The Operas of Maurice Ravel

    Book Details:
  • Author : Emily Kilpatrick
  • Publisher : Cambridge University Press
  • Release : 2015-10-29
  • ISBN : 1316395707
  • Pages : 287 pages

Download or read book The Operas of Maurice Ravel written by Emily Kilpatrick and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-29 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maurice Ravel's operas L'Heure espagnole (1907/1911) and L'Enfant et les sortilèges (1919–25) are pivotal works in the composer's relatively small œuvre. Emerging from periods shaped by very distinct musical concerns and historical circumstances, these two vastly different works nevertheless share qualities that reveal the heart of Ravel's compositional aesthetic. In this comprehensive study, Emily Kilpatrick unites musical, literary, biographical and cultural perspectives to shed new light on Ravel's operas. In documenting the operas' history, setting them within the cultural canvas of their creation and pursuing diverse strands of analytical and thematic exploration, Kilpatrick reveals crucial aspects of the composer's working life: his approach to creative collaboration, his responsiveness to cultural, aesthetic and musical debate, and the centrality of language and literature in his compositional practice. The first study of its kind, this book is an invaluable resource for students, specialists, opera-goers and devotees of French music.

Book Intentions Annotated

    Book Details:
  • Author : Oscar Wilde
  • Publisher : Independently Published
  • Release : 2021-07-06
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 196 pages

Download or read book Intentions Annotated written by Oscar Wilde and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intentions By Oscar Wilde was published in 1891 when Wilde was at the height of his form, these brilliant essays on art, literature, criticism, and society display the flamboyant poseur's famous wit and wide learning. A leading spokesman for the English Aesthetic movement, Wilde promoted art for art's sake against critics who argued that art must serve a moral purpose. On every page of this collection the gifted literary stylist admirably demonstrates not only that the characteristics of art are "distinction, charm, beauty, and imaginative power, but also that criticism itself can be raised to an art form possessing these very qualities. In the opening essay, Wilde laments the decay of Lying as an art, a science, and a social pleasure. He takes to task modern literary realists like Henry James and Emile Zola for their "monstrous worship of facts" and stifling of the imagination. What makes art wonderful, he says, is that it is absolutely indifferent to fact, invents, imagines, dreams, and keeps between herself and reality the impenetrable barrier of beautiful style, of decorative or ideal treatment.

Book La critique litt  raire

Download or read book La critique litt raire written by Roger Fayolle and published by Paris, A. Colin [1964]. This book was released on 1964 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Consacrée à l'étude des genres littéraires et brillamment inaugurée en 1962 par le Drame de Michel Lioure, la collection « U » s'enrichit d'un 5e volume, la Critique, par R. Fayolle. Les deux chapitres de la 1TM partie — « l'Age classique », « l'Age moderne » — constituent, selon l'auteur, plus une chronique qu'une histoire de la critique en France. La matière à embrasser était si vaste en effet que la clarté et la densité du tableau n'en sont que plus manifestes. Même si le paragraphe consacré à Montaigne peut paraître un peu bref, même si les références des textes cités n'ont pas ça et là toute la précision nécessaire pour qui voudrait poursuivre l'enquête !, ce sont de minces réserves en regard des mérites de l'ensemble. Le respect scrupuleux de la chronologie ne nuit pas à une structure logique qui met en évidence l'évolution du genre, son accession progressive à l'autonomie, et évite au lecteur, malgré le foisonnement des formes critiques à l'époque moderne, l'aridité d'un catalogue.

Book Divagations

    Book Details:
  • Author : StŽphane MallarmŽ
  • Publisher : Harvard University Press
  • Release : 2009-06-15
  • ISBN : 0674032403
  • Pages : 313 pages

Download or read book Divagations written by StŽphane MallarmŽ and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a book just the way I don't like them," the father of French Symbolism, StŽphane MallarmŽ, informs the reader in his preface to Divagations: "scattered and with no architecture." On the heels of this caveat, MallarmŽ's diverting, discursive, and gorgeously disordered 1897 masterpiece tumbles forth--and proves itself to be just the sort of book his readers like most. The salmagundi of prose poems, prose-poetic musings, criticism, and reflections that is Divagations has long been considered a treasure trove by students of aesthetics and modern poetry. If MallarmŽ captured the tone and very feel of fin-de-sicle Paris, he went on to captivate the minds of the greatest writers of the twentieth century--from ValŽry and Eliot to Paul de Man and Jacques Derrida. This was the only book of prose he published in his lifetime and, in a new translation by Barbara Johnson, is now available for the first time in English as MallarmŽ arranged it. The result is an entrancing work through which a notoriously difficult-to-translate voice shines in all of its languor and musicality. Whether contemplating the poetry of Tennyson, the possibilities of language, a masturbating priest, or the transporting power of dance, MallarmŽ remains a fascinating companion--charming, opinionated, and pedantic by turns. As an expression of the Symbolist movement and as a contribution to literary studies, Divagations is vitally important. But it is also, in Johnson's masterful translation, endlessly mesmerizing.

Book Fishing the Sloe Black River

Download or read book Fishing the Sloe Black River written by Colum McCann and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The short fiction of Colum McCann documents a dizzying cast of characters in exile, loss, love, and displacement. There is the worn boxing champion who steals clothes from a New Orleans laundromat, the rumored survivor of Hiroshima who emigrates to the tranquil coast of Western Ireland, the Irishwoman who journeys through America in search of silence and solitude. But what is found in these stories, and discovered by these characters, is the astonishing poetry and peace found in the mundane: a memory, a scent on the wind, the grace in the curve of a street. 'Fishing the sloe-black river' is a work of pure augury, of the channeling and re-spoken lives of people exposed to the beauty of the everyday.
