Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A treatment of 40 years of British poetry from the angle of time. We watch the wonderful helplessness of new poetics as it struggles to free itself from the chrysalis of the old. We watch the life-cycle of new ideas as they open up chaos, channel it into permanent form, and age into predictability and disillusion. We realise the strangeness of the past and go in to sample lost sounds and exotic shapes.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on the way in which William Barnes uses and experiments with techniques of meter, rhyme and sound, and shows how an understanding of the language of the poems, not only dialect but also standard English, is essential to appreciating the worth of Barnes's poetical output. A detailed examination of the way in which he set about composing his verse reveals the careful and self-conscious craftsman who lies behind the superficial oddities that may strike the present day reader.

Book Synopsis Across the margins by : Glenda Norquay
Download or read book Across the margins written by Glenda Norquay and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. The concept of 'margins' denotes geographical, economic, demographic, cultural and political positioning in relation to a perceived centre. This book aims to question the term 'marginal' itself, to hear the voices talking 'across' borders and not only to or through an English centre. The first part of the book examines debates on the political and poetic choice of language, drawing attention to significant differences between the Irish and Scottish strategies. It includes a discussion of the complicated dynamic of woman and nation by Aileen Christianson, which explores the work of twentieth-century Scottish and Irish women writers. The book also explores masculinities in both English and Scottish writing from Berthold Schoene, which deploys sexual difference as a means of testing postcolonial theorizing. A different perspective on the notion of marginality is offered by addressing 'Englishness' in relation to 'migrant' writing in prose concerned with India and England after Independence. The second part of the book focuses on a wide range of new poetry to question simplified margin/centre relations. It discusses a historicising perspective on the work of cultural studies and its responses to the relationship between ethnicity and second-generation Irish musicians from Sean Campbell. The comparison of contemporary Irish and Scottish fiction which identifies similarities and differences in recent developments is also considered. In each instance the writers take on the task of examining and assessing points of connection and diversity across a particular body of work, while moving away from contrasts which focus on an English 'norm'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Behr has an engaging and lively mode of dealing with her chosen subject, one which is in itself an attractive and original one, moving as it does beyond the conventional stereotypes of the Gothic to reach a number of convincing reassessments of both gender and genre in this context. The examination of the various aspects of male identity is insightful and controlled and, Dr. Behr's facility for the apposite and pithy phrase cuts to the heart of the discussion, facilitating the flow of her ideas.

Book Synopsis The Regulation of Consciousness in the English Novel by : Owen Schur
Download or read book The Regulation of Consciousness in the English Novel written by Owen Schur and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining novels he considers representative of the English tradition from Austen to Woolf, Schur (English, Seton Hall U.) explores their representations of desire, power, and consciousness. He follows Lacan, but emphasizes the social more than the psychoanalytic, particularly looking at the intrusiveness of social power on individual subjectivity in the narratives. He finds that all the novels examine hierarchies of power in the social practices and social institutions by which and in which the protagonists live, and that these practices and institutions regular human desire and consciousness, especially through patriarchal power.

Book Synopsis A New Midrashic Reading of Geoffrey Chaucer by : Norman Toby Simms
Download or read book A New Midrashic Reading of Geoffrey Chaucer written by Norman Toby Simms and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers a novel interpretation of Chaucer as a "fuzzy Jew", a conflicted descendant of Conversos, who created the complex antisemitic character of the Prioress. Following a psycho-historical approach, suggests that the Prioress was raped as a child by a father-figure and that she projects the blame onto the Jews, who were demonized by her society. Associates child victimization with the alleged victimization felt by Chaucer for his own suffering as a child belonging to a group that had to conceal its identity. In view of Chaucer's putative Jewish heritage, offers kabbalistic perspectives on his work.
Book Synopsis An Analysis of William Blake's Early Writings and Designs to 1790 by : Kenneth Edward Smith
Download or read book An Analysis of William Blake's Early Writings and Designs to 1790 written by Kenneth Edward Smith and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is informed by a knowledge of Blake seen against the background of the long 18th century. Throughout, the reader is reminded that the Blake of Songs of Innocence and Experience shared a century with Fielding, Hogarth and Sterne; the classification of Blake as a romantic too often overlooks the form and content of satirical modes with which he was familiar. The study places Blake's Songs of Innocence in their historical context, and sites the poet within an historical work that bridges traditional, canonical categories of high culture versus popular culture. The author's aim was to return innocence to its original literary-historical context. Songs of Innocence and other early writings are included in the text.
