Download or read book Selected Essays Volume I written by Andrew Louth and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-17 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taken together, these two volumes collect seventy-five essays written by Professor Andrew Louth over a forty-year period. Louth's contribution to scholarship and theology has always been significant, and these essays have been collected from journals and edited collections, many of which are difficult to access, and are here made available over two thought-provoking and wide-ranging volumes. Volume I focuses on a variety of topics in Patristics, or early Christian studies. In these essays, Louth discusses early Christian thinkers from the early second century through to Photios of Constantinople in the east (in the tenth century) and Thomas Aquinas in the west (in the thirteenth century). Constant figures who appear at the heart of these volumes are Maximos the Confessor (c.580 - 662) and John of Damascus (676-749).

Download or read book Selected Essays in Criticism written by L. C. Knights and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1981-06-04 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a selection of essays by one of the most distinguished of modern literary critics, L. C. Knights, published as a companion volume to the selection of Professor Knights' Shakespearean essays, which appeared in 1979. The essays span almost four decades of critical work on authors as diverse as Marlowe, George Herbert, Clarendon and Henry James. At the centre of each essay is an attempt to elicit some essential quality in the author, or authors, discussed. Although each can be read as an isolated critical essay, the different pieces are linked by a pervasive interest in the conditions, social or personal, out of which particular works emerged, and in the way in which major works of the imagination are renewed as they are re-interpreted in successive generations. Throughout, the underlying assumption is that literary criticism needs to be 'pure' - the result of direct exposure to particular works - but that it cannot remain purely literary, if only because the meaning of literature includes its effects on the lives and conduct of individual human beings.

Download or read book Selected Essays written by David Hume and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-12 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his writings, David Hume set out to bridge the gap between the learned world of the academy and the marketplace of polite society. This collection, drawing largely on his Essays Moral, Political, and Literary (1776 edition), which was even more popular than his famous Treatise of Human Nature, comprehensively shows how far he succeeded. From `Of Essay Writing' to `Of the Rise and Progress of the Arts and Sciences' Hume embraces a staggering range of social, cultural, political, demographic, and historical concerns. With the scope typical of the Scottish Enlightenment, he charts the state of civil society, manners, morals, and taste, and the development of political economy in the mid-eighteenth century. These essays represent not only those areas where Hume's arguments are revealingly typical of his day, but also where he is strikingly innovative in a period already famous for its great thinkers. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Download or read book Holding the Line written by Clive Bush and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprises a selection of interdisciplinary essays in American literature and culture written by Clive Bush over some forty years. They fall into four sections: Classic American Literature; Literary and Cultural Modernism; Literature and Politics; and American Cultural Studies. The topics range from literature to architecture, from the history of linguistics to analyses of the commodity culture, from poetry to film. The essays themselves extend from American linguistics to Beat literature. There is, however, an identifiable series of common themes and perspectives throughout. The first is the question of the relation of discourse itself to the practices of power: personal, social and political. The second is the attention paid to the particular and general historical context in which both texts and quasi-texts are situated. The third is that a European perspective, making use of comparative texts, has been used throughout. The author demonstrates a commitment both to close reading and to the value judgement in the reading of texts.

Download or read book Finding the Place written by Kees Fens and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 1994 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a collection of essays on major English literary figures by the leading Dutch critic Kees Fens. Although most of them are on nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature, dealing with, among others, Newman, Hopkins, Wilde, Shaw and Greene, authors from earlier periods, such as Thomas More and George Herbert, are not excluded. Kees Fens holds that great cultural achievements are creative responses to a large diversity of traditions. The most important of these constitute the cultural heritage that is preserved and passed on in education, religion, reading and writing. For Fens, culture is first and foremost a continuity of experience, starting in one's youth, when one goes to school and to church. In assimilating the tradition, one learns that all aspects of life are culturally significant, for better or worse. Creativity is the urge to continue to learn - on all occasions. What one learns is that one's knowledge necessarily remains incomplete. Fens has a sharp eye for inconsistencies and paradoxes, in authors as well as in their work. He responds to these with humour, since, in his view, they illustrate a permanent striving for perfection. What a great author leaves behind is his language. Language is saturated with many kinds of traditions; an author uses language to reshape the traditions he wants to perfect. A great author becomes a great teacher when he makes his readers experience his own need for perfection.
