Book Synopsis The New Oxford Book of Eighteenth-Century Verse by : Roger Lonsdale
Download or read book The New Oxford Book of Eighteenth-Century Verse written by Roger Lonsdale and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 912 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No previous anthology has succeeded in illustrating so thoroughly the kinds of verse actually written in the eighteenth century. The familiar tradition is fully represented by selections from such poets as Pope, Swift, Tomson, Gray, Smart, Goldsmith, Cowper, Burns, and Blake. In addition, the anthology includes verse by many forgotten writers, both men and women, from all levels of society. Although they have never figured in conventional literary history, they wrote humorous, idiosyncratic, and graphic verse about their personal experience and the world around them, in a way that should challenge received ideas about the period's restraints and inhibitions.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Book of Classical Verse by : Adrian Poole
Download or read book The Oxford Book of Classical Verse written by Adrian Poole and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great Britain has a long and grand tradition of poets translating classical authors. Virtually every great poet from Chaucer on has tried his or her hand at translation, with the results often rivalling or even excelling the ancient original. This unique anthology presents the best of these translations, ranging from King Alfred, Alexander Pope, and Ben Jonson, to Alfred Lord Tennyson, Ezra Pound, and Ted Hughes. The book offers a vast array of responses to the song, verse, and drama of ancient Greece and Rome, and to poets themselves as varied as Homer, Sappho, Euripides, Virgil, Ovid, and Juvenal. Organized by classical author and text, the book gathers and juxtaposes English versions, sometimes of the same passage or poem, to dramatize the endless renewal of one great poetic tradition in and through another.

Book Synopsis The Penguin Book of Spiritual Verse by : Kaveh Akbar
Download or read book The Penguin Book of Spiritual Verse written by Kaveh Akbar and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A profoundly valuable collection, full of fresh perspective, and opening doors into all kinds of material that has been routinely neglected or patronized' Rowan Williams, TLS This rich and surprising anthology is a holistic, global survey of a lyric conversation about the divine, one which has been ongoing for millennia. Beginning with the earliest attributable author in all of human literature, the twenty-third century BCE Sumerian High Priestess Enheduanna, and taking in a constellation of voices - from King David to Lao Tzu, from the Epic of Gilgamesh to the Malian Epic of Sundiata - this selection presents a number of canonical figures like Blake, Dickinson and Tagore, alongside lesser-anthologized, diverse poets going up to the present day. Together they show the breathtaking multiplicity of ways humanity has responded to the spiritual, across place and time.

Book Synopsis Reading Old English Biblical Poetry by : Janet Schrunk Ericksen
Download or read book Reading Old English Biblical Poetry written by Janet Schrunk Ericksen and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2020-11-19 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading Old English Biblical Poetry considers the Junius 11 manuscript, the only surviving illustrated book of Old English poetry, in terms of its earliest readers and their multiple strategies of reading and making meaning. Junius 11 begins with the creation story and ends with the final vanquishing of Satan by Jesus. The manuscript is both a continuous whole and a collection with discontinuities and functionally independent pieces. The chapters of Reading Old English Biblical Poetry propose multiple models for reader engagement with the texts in this manuscript, including selective and sequential reading, reading in juxtaposition, and reading in contexts within and outside of the pages of Junius 11. The study is framed by particular attention to the materiality of the manuscript and how that might have informed its early reception, and it broadens considerations of reading beyond those of the manuscript's compiler and possible patron. As a book, Junius 11 reflects a rich and varied culture of reading that existed in and beyond houses of God in England in the tenth and eleventh centuries, and it points to readers who had enough experience to select and find wisdom, narrative pleasure, and a diversity of other things within this or any book's contents.
Book Synopsis A Choice of Anglo-Saxon Verse by : Richard Hamer
Download or read book A Choice of Anglo-Saxon Verse written by Richard Hamer and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Choice of Anglo-Saxon Verse contains the Old English texts of all the major short poems, such as 'The Battle of Maldon', 'The Dream of the Rood', 'The Wanderer' and 'The Seafarer', as well as a generous representation of the many important fragments, riddles and gnomic verses that survive from the seventh to the twelfth centuries, with facing-page verse translations. These poems are the well-spring of the English poetic tradition, and this anthology provides a unique window into the mind and culture of the Anglo-Saxons. The volume is an essential companion to Faber's edition of Beowulf, translated by Seamus Heaney.
Book Synopsis W. H. Auden's Book of Light Verse by : W. H. Auden
Download or read book W. H. Auden's Book of Light Verse written by W. H. Auden and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2004-07-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Auden's celebrated anthology of light verse is packed with surprising finds while also offering a striking rethinking of the poetic canon. Commissioned by Oxford University Press in the 1930s, when Auden's own work was at its boldest, the book caught its original publisher off guard. For it is less a collection of humorous verses than a celebration of the popular voice in English, in which the work of great satirists like Swift and Byron keeps company with ballads, chanteys, ditties, nursery rhymes, street calls, bathroom graffiti, epitaphs, folk songs, vaudeville turns, limericks, and blues. Turning away from the post-Romantic cult of the sentimental lyric, Auden features poetry that is clear, enjoyable, and, no matter its age, absolutely modern. This new edition includes previously censored poems, together with Auden's remarkable introduction and a new preface by his literary executor, Edward Mendelson.
