Download or read book The Wanton Sublime written by Anna Rabinowitz and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Anna Rabinowitz gives us language at a height and experience at a depth that the whole art suddenly appears as a plinth on the plain of American letters."-Molly Peacock In this probing exploration of motherhood, one of our most imaginative contemporary poets cuts through the pieties to the human issues spiraling around the Annunciation and the Virgin Mary. This is not a "religious" book by any means. Instead, we see a new slant on freedom, subjugation, and the mother-child relationship illuminated by interconnected fragments, lyrics, multiple choice questions, argument, and ancient texts. The Wanton Sublime rewards with formal invention and linguistic brilliance-blissful marriages of form and content. WHO/WHAT IS IT COMES? Out of a vast silence, a spring spray, a drench of dew, all so still into the cave of her body? For mother read lover For "like dew in April/That falleth on the flower" read "like dew in April/That falleth to de-flowera_ " String theorists concede that their equations are approximations to an unknown theory they call M-theory standing for matrix, magic, mystery of mother as in mother of all theories as in mother of us all Anna Rabinowitz's volumes of poetry include Darkling, finalist for ForeWord Magazine's Best Poetry Book of 2001 Award, and At the Site of Inside Out, winner of the Juniper Prize. A former NEA Arts Fellow, she has published widely in such journals as Atlantic Monthly, Boston Review, The Paris Review, and Best American Poetry 1989.
Download or read book The Skeptical Sublime written by James Noggle and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-11-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that philosophical skepticism helps define the aesthetic experience of the sublime in late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century British literature, especially the poetry of Alexander Pope. Skeptical doubt appears in the period as an astonishing force in discourse that cannot be controlled--"doubt's boundless Sea," in Rochester's words--and as such is consistently seen as affiliated with the sublime, itself emerging as an important way to conceive of excessive power in rhetoric, nature, psychology, religion, and politics. This view of skepticism as a force affecting discourse beyond its practitioners' control links Noggle's discussion to other theoretical accounts of sublimity, especially psychoanalytic and ideological ones, that emphasize the sublime's activation of unconscious personal and cultural anxieties and contradictions. But because The Skeptical Sublime demonstrates the sublime's roots in the epistemological obsessions of Pope and his age, it also grounds such theories in what is historically evident in the period's writing. The skeptical sublime is a concrete, primary instance of the transformation of modernity's main epistemological liability, its loss of certainty, into an aesthetic asset--retaining, however, much of the unsettling irony of its origins in radical doubt. By examining the cultural function of such persistent instability, this book seeks to clarify the aesthetic ideology of major writers like Pope, Swift, Dryden, and Rochester, among others, who have been seen, sometimes confusingly, as both reactionary and supportive of the liberal-Whig model of taste and civil society increasingly dominant in the period. While they participate in the construction of proto-aesthetic categories like the sublime to stabilize British culture after decades of civil war and revolution, their appreciation of the skepticism maintained by these means of stabilization helps them express ambivalence about the emerging social order and distinguishes their views from the more providentially assured appeals to the sublime of their ideological opponents.

Download or read book The Circuit of Apollo written by Laura L. Runge and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2019-05-10 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a combination of established scholars and new critics in the field, the essays collected in Circuit of Apollo attest to the vital practice of commemorating women’s artistic and personal relationships. In doing so, they illuminate the complexity of female friendships and honor as well as the robust creativity and intellectual work contributed by women to culture in the long eighteenth century. Women’s tributes to each other sometimes took the form of critical engagement or competition, but they always exposed the feminocentric networks of artistic, social, and material exchange women created and maintained both in and outside of London. This volume advocates for a new perspective for researching and teaching early modern women that is grounded in admiration. Distributed for the University of Delaware Press

Download or read book Women Writers and the English Nation in the 1790s written by Angela Keane and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-01-25 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angela Keane addresses the work of five women writers of the 1790s and its problematic relationship with the canon of Romantic literature. Refining arguments that women's writing has been overlooked, Keane examines the more complex underpinnings and exclusionary effects of the English national literary tradition. The book explores the negotiations of literate, middle-class women such as Hannah More, Mary Wollstonecraft, Charlotte Smith, Helen Maria Williams and Ann Radcliffe with emergent ideas of national literary representation. As women were cast into the feminine, maternal role in Romantic national discourse, women like these who defined themselves in other terms found themselves exiled - sometimes literally - from the nation. These wandering women did not rest easily in the family-romance of Romantic nationalism nor could they be reconciled with the models of literary authorship that emerged in the 1790s.
