Описание: George Eliot`s intelligence and her wide knowledge of history, literature, philosophy and political thought shaped her fiction and her non-fiction. This intellectual biography tells the story of her development from her initial Christian culture towards a humanistic and progressive world view which informed her crowning literary achievements.
Описание: T. S. Eliot’s literary criticism is often described as ‘the criticism of a poet’. Mr Lee asks what happens if we take that description seriously and read the criticism as if it was as much the expression of the man, it its way, as the poetry; continuous with the poetry and the preoccupations of the poetry. This essay in interpretation is an attempt to follow out such a programme and to account for the contradictions and seemingly discrepant utterances that Eliot himself left unexplained. The opening chapter offers an outline of Eliot’s main ‘theories’ and the connection between them, and subsequent chapters deal with critical approaches to Eliot; ‘Tradition and the Individual Talent’ and impersonality; Eliot’s ideas on personality; and the relation between individual personality and society.

Описание: Written for both specialist and non-specialist, this book examines T. S. Eliot`s treatments of putting-in-other-words, including the necessity of putting ancient truth in `new verse.` By means of fresh new readings of Ash-Wednesday and Four Quartets, G. Douglas Atkins carries his exploration of Eliot`s religious thinking into bold new territory.
Although there have been innumerable studies of T. S. Eliot, this is the first to examine closely the changes in his dramatic practice and to relate them to his artistic and intellectual development. Professor Smith finds Eliot s dramatic theory rooted in his conception of the need for order in religion and art; she traces this concept as it evolved from the overtly religious "The Rock" and "Murder in the Cathedral" through such symbolic drawing-room plays as "The Family Reunion, The Cocktail Party," and "The Confidential Clerk," to Eliot s latest study of human and divine love in "The Elder Statesman." Carol H. Smith explores Eliot s interest in the jazz rhythms of the English music hall, in the mythical method of Yeats and Joyce, and in the work of the Cambridge School of Classical Anthropology.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This book offers an introduction to four of the great German poets of the Romantic era aimed at first-time readers of poetry, students, but also readers familiar with their work. I have concentrated on the poetry, and have included many quotes. Some of the well-known poems by the writers are featured in the second half of the book.
EXTRACT FROM THE FRIEDRICH HOLDERLIN CHAPTER
Friedrich Holderlin believed in the notion of the poet as shaman, a vates, a prophet. As he wrote in 'An die Deutschen' ('To the Germans'), 'sweet it is to divine, but an affliction too'. And he believed in his poetic world, as poets have to: 'Holderlin's world was one in which he alone believed', wrote Alessandro Pelegrini. His poetry is marked by a movement towards bliss, the ecstasy of the shaman, which Holderlin does not hide. Rather, he cultivates it scrupulously. His lyrics are pure lyrics, set in the Orphic mode, that way of making poetry that comes from Orpheus, the ancient deity of shamanic poetry.
Friedrich Holderlin's poetry, especially his early lyrics, is powerfully shamanic; it is full of shamanic imagery, as is the early poetry of Percy Bysshe Shelley or Francesco Petrarch. In Holderlin's art we find images of light, of bliss, of motion, of revelation, all shamanic/ religious motifs. Heinrich Heine's view of the poet as shaman was more political, aware of the role of the poet in societal revolutions: 'Our age is warmed by the idea of human equality, and the poets, who as high priests do homage to this divine sun, can be certain that thousands kneel down beside them, and that thousands weep and rejoice with them'.
'Hyperion's Song of Fate' is one of the best examples of Friedrich Holderlin's lyricism, his Orphic/ shamanic voice, his Hellenism, and his triumphant use of the hymn or ode form:
You walk above in the light, weightless tread a soft floor, blessed genii radiant the gods' mild breezes gently play on you as the girl artist's fingers on holy strings. Fateless the Heavenly breathe like an unweaned infant asleep; chastely preserved in modest bud for ever their minds are in flower and their blissful eyes eternally tranquil glaze, eternally clear.]
