Описание:

Poetry is dead. Poetry is all around us. Both are trite truisms that this book exploits and challenges.
In his 1798 Advertisement to Lyrical Ballads, William Wordsworth anticipates that readers accustomed to the poetic norms of the day might not recognize his experiments as poems and might signal their awkward confusion upon opening the book by looking round for poetry, as if seeking it elsewhere. Look Round for Poetry transforms Wordsworth’s idiomatic expression into a methodological charge. By placing tropes and figures common to Romantic and Post-Romantic poems in conjunction with contemporary economic, technological, and political discourse, Look Round for Poetry identifies poetry’s untimely echoes in discourses not always read as poetry or not always read poetically.
Once one begins looking round for poetry, McGrath insists, one might discover it in some surprising contexts. In chapters that spring from poems by Wordsworth, Lucille Clifton, John Keats, and Percy Bysshe Shelley, McGrath reads poetic examples of understatement alongside market demands for more; the downturned brow as a figure for economic catastrophe; Romantic cloud metaphors alongside the rhetoric of cloud computing; the election of the dead as a poetical, and not just a political, act; and poetic investigations into the power of prepositions as theories of political assembly.
For poetry to retain a vital power, McGrath argues, we need to become ignorant of what we think we mean by it. In the process we may discover critical vocabularies that engage the complexity of social life all around us.

Описание: This book uses the theme of `debatable lands`, to explore aspects of writing in the Romantic period. Walter Scott brought it to a wider public, and the phrase came to be applied to debates which were intellectual, political or artistic. These debates are pursued in a collection of essays grouped under the headings such as `Britain and Ireland`.

Описание: This fascinating study explores why ideas of the East mattered to Romantic writers, including Byron and the Shelleys, as well as their readers, political reformers and working-class activists. Imagining and invoking the Muslim world helped radicals to formulate their opposition to electoral disenfranchisement, police repression, and economic exploitation in Britain.

Описание: In providing a comprehensive reading of `late` Wordsworth (1814-1840) that reveals how his major poems contest poetic and political issues with his younger contemporaries (Keats, Shelley, Byron), this work intertwines literature and history showing that ideological conflicts between authors create dialogic encounters within their poetic texts.

Описание: Ewan James Jones offers a revisionary account of Coleridge`s poetry, challenging the recent critical tendency to view Coleridge`s philosophy separately from his poetry. Through close readings of major poems, including Christabel and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Jones argues that Coleridge engaged most significantly with philosophy through his verse.

Описание:

For France the First World War, or Great War, was a war of national self-defence, but for Britain it was not. Does that mean that French literary treatments of this unimaginably destructive war were very different from British ones? Not necessarily – but much can be learned from considering both traditions side by side, something that is rarely done.

The essays collected in this bilingual volume, by a range of scholars working on literature and history on both sides of the Channel, show that while the wider purposes of the war are striking for their absence in both French and British traditions, there are many common strands: realistic narratives of the trenches, humour as a safety-valve, imagination and creativity. Yet there are differences, too: for instance, there is plenty of French poetry about the war, but no real equivalent of the British «war poets». The volume looks at iconic figures like Owen, Brooke, Barbusse, Apollinaire and Proust, but also at a number of lesser known writers, and includes a study of «poetry of colour», recognising the active contribution of some four million non-Europeans to the war effort. The book includes a preface by the eminent war historian Sir Hew Strachan.

Engag?e dans une guerre d?fensive sur ses fronti?res, la France connut une Grande Guerre bien diff?rente de celle avec laquelle compos?rent ses alli?s britanniques. Faut-il en conclure que les deux nations furent amen?es ? produire des r?ponses au conflit radicalement diff?rentes? Peut-on d?gager des traditions nationales ou des tendances transnationales ouvrant la voie ? des comparaisons encore rarement esquiss?es par la critique litt?raire? C’est le pari des contributions de ce volume bilingue, r?unissant autour de la question: «comment ?crire la Grande Guerre?», les articles de sp?cialistes francophones et anglophones des domaines historique et litt?raire. Il montre la vari?t? des th?matiques partag?es par les deux traditions litt?raires: r?cits r?alistes des tranch?es, usage de l’humour comme d’un exutoire salutaire, imagination et cr?ativit?; et souligne la pr?sence de diff?rences notables, comme l’absence de mythification en France de la po?sie de 14, pourtant elle-aussi produite en masse tout au long de la guerre. L’ouvrage, tout en donnant une place de choix aux ?crivains de premier ordre (Owen, Brooke, Barbusse, Apollinaire ou Proust), tente d’offrir quelque visibilit? ? un certain nombre d’auteurs moins connus, au nombre desquels des auteurs de couleur, ? qui leur contribution ? l’effort de guerre n’aura pas valu la reconnaissance litt?raire attendue. La pr?face a ?t? r?dig?e par Sir Hew Strachan, grand sp?cialiste de l’histoire de la p?riode.
