Book Synopsis Australian Divagations by : Jill Anderson
Download or read book Australian Divagations written by Jill Anderson and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 2002 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two revolutionary texts by Stéphane Mallarmé (1842-1898) lie at the heart of this book, the poem Un Coup de dés and the prose collection Divagations. An international team of scholars from Paris to New York explores the multiple connections between Mallarmé and Australia, especially as they are embodied in the works of Sydney poet Chris Brennan (1869-1932), whose writing, according to Mallarmé, offered a «parenté de songe» («a kinship of dream») with his own. With its focus on divagation - or wandering, reverie, and exploration - this book summons forth a Mallarmé seen through a specifically Australian lens, through the focus of a century of critical and creative responses to his work, a Mallarmé whose poetics enfold a particular femininity as well as a particular response to the feminine, and a Mallarmé who possessed the extraordinary gift of seeing inspiring contemporary art.
Book Synopsis Literary History and Avant-Garde Poetics in the Antipodes by : A. J. Carruthers
Download or read book Literary History and Avant-Garde Poetics in the Antipodes written by A. J. Carruthers and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Avant-garde poetry in the Antipodes causes all sorts of trouble for literary history. It is an avant-garde that seems to arrive too late and yet right on time. In 1897, Christopher Brennan made his own version of Un Coup de Des, the same year Mallarme published it in Cosmopolis. In the 1940s, the same period avant-gardism was declared dead or fatally injured due to the Ern Malley affair, Harry Hooton began writing a significant body of experimental poetry. From the 1950s to the 1970s, Australian Dada emerged 'belatedly' through figures like Jas H. Duke (Tristan Tzara had previously sung Aboriginal songs at the Cabaret Voltaire in 1916). First Nations and Migrant poets then began reinventing avant-garde poetry in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. This book maintains that such a confounding literary history poses a distinct challenge to the theories of the avant-gardes we have become accustomed to and changes our perspective of avant-garde time.
Book Synopsis Frameworks for Mallarmé by : Gayle Zachmann
Download or read book Frameworks for Mallarmé written by Gayle Zachmann and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2008-11-05 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countering the conventional image of the deliberately obscure "ivory-tower poet," Frameworks for Mallarmé presents Stéphane Mallarmé as a journalist and critic who was actively engaged with the sociocultural and technological shifts of his era. Gayle Zachmann introduces a writer whose aesthetic was profoundly shaped by contemporary innovations in print and visual culture, especially the nascent art of photography. She analyzes the preeminence of the visual in conjunction with Mallarmé's quest for "scientific" language, and convincingly links the poet's production to a nineteenth-century understanding of cognition that is articulated in terms of optical perception. The result is a distinctly modern recuperation of the Horatian doctrine of ut pictura poesis in Mallarmé's poetry and his circumstantial writings.
Book Synopsis Pavannes and Divagations by : Ezra Pound
Download or read book Pavannes and Divagations written by Ezra Pound and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 1958 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The canon of Ezra Pound would be incomplete without a representative collection in the master's lighter vein. Pavanes and Divagations seeks to meet this need. Included are Pound's long essay ''Indiscretions, '' one of his rare autobiographical writings, an assortment of facetious verses, his superb translations from the dialogues of Fontenelle, causeries on topics ranging from religion to the mores of moneyed society, as well as a miscellany of editorials, denunciations, and literary masquerades. Pound's barbed wit is displayed here to its best advantage. But more than a simple diversion, this volume presents an important but neglected aspect of the prime shaper of modern poetry in English.

Download or read book Australian Literature and the Symbolist Movement written by John Hawke and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australian literature wasn¿t all stockmen and billabongs when it blossomed in the 1890s. From then till now the parallel strand of modernist sophistication has been equally popular with top writers. John Hawke looks at the enthusiastic reception European symbolism got in Colonial times, as well as the alarming politics of literary figures, and the striking originality that modern global influences brought out in Slessor, Judith Wright, A.D. Hope and other leading writers.

Book Synopsis Challenges of Translation in French Literature by : Richard Bales
Download or read book Challenges of Translation in French Literature written by Richard Bales and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2005 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In celebrating the academic career and practice of a distinguished scholar of French literature, this volume concentrates on one of Peter Broome's major preoccupations and attainments: translation. Eschewing a dogmatic, theoretical approach, the contributors (former colleagues and students) tackle four rich areas of study: modern anglophone poets' reactions to, and translations of, authors with whom they have closely identified (Racine, the Symbolists, Saint-John Perse, Valéry); problematics of translating specific poets of recent centuries (Rimbaud, Mallarmé, Valéry, Césaire, some contemporary poets); reception and interaction in two foreign countries (Australia, Spain); and a more fluid interpretation of translation, moving the notion across into wider realms of literary expression (Mallarmé, Proust, Assia Djebar). A focalising feature, punctuating the volume, are Peter Broome's own translations of hitherto unpublished poems by five major contemporary French writers: Jean-Paul Auxeméry, Marie-Claire Bancquart, Louise Herlin, Vénus Khoury-Ghata and Jean-Charles Vegliante. The book thus intertwines theory and practice in a non-prescriptive manner which invites further elaboration and analysis.
Book Synopsis Read it Again by : Chris Wallace-Crabbe
Download or read book Read it Again written by Chris Wallace-Crabbe and published by Salt Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a wide-ranging, incisive study of contemporary poetry, its predicament and its rich traditions. While it focusses on Australian cultural conditions, it sees them in terms of the English-language ecumene, for example setting an Irish poet beside an Australian, and ranging from Keats, as our strong forebear, to the modern Polish poet Zagajewsky. In this book, Wallace-Crabbe examines the role of poetic discourse in the face of both popular and high cultures. He also asks what remains for us of the sacred, that wizened category of attention. Among his Australian protagonists are A.D. Hope, the Mallarméan John Forbes, and the painter, Sidney Nolan, whose images of the bushranger Ned Kelly have become powerfully iconic. These critical essays are coloured both by the abiding traditions of a formative landscape and by the postmodern city, with its dwindled, acerbic gaze. They should seize the attention of anyone concerned with the fate of poetry in a PlayStation age.

Download or read book Credo written by Imants Tillers and published by Giramondo Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Credo brings together essays from different stages in Imants Tillers’ career, from ‘Locality Fails’ to ‘Metafisica Australe’ and ‘Journey to Nowhere’, and closes with an essay written especially for the collection, ‘The Sources’, on the artists and writers he has drawn on in his art. These essays express an aesthetic credo which has larger implications for both literature and art created out of the experience of migration. His self-coined concepts like ‘the idea of incommensurability’ and ‘reversible destiny’, his ideas about appropriation and the importance of reproduction in Australian culture, the encyclopaedic range of his work, and his orientation and re-orientation towards Aboriginal art, articulate an Australian aesthetic which constantly seeks connectedness between the local and the international, and a broader understanding of the complexities of provincialism. What he calls ‘the revolt of the margins’ is evident in the provocative nature of his writing too, in its wit and irony and intelligence.

Book Synopsis A Dictionary of Australian Underworld Slang by : Gary Simes
Download or read book A Dictionary of Australian Underworld Slang written by Gary Simes and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1993 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edited by Gary Simes, Australian Underworld Slang contains two previously unpublished glossaries of Australian prison and underworld slang compiled in the 1940s and 1950s. The first was compiled in 1944 by Ted Hartley, a conscientious objector imprisoned for his political beliefs. On Hartley's release, the novelist Kylie Tennant asked him to produce the glossary to assist her in the writing of a novel about prisoners. The glossary then lay forgotten and unrecognized in the National Library until Gary Simes's fortuitous discovery of it. The second glossary was compiled by a prisoner calling himself `35', whose identity has never been divulged. The `Argot', as it was called, was revised by `35' in 1975, but this edition has not been located. Dr Simes combines the glossaries and draws on the full resources of the OED and the AND and his own formidable database of underworld and sexual language to place them in a broader lexicographical and historical context. He also contributes a long and important essay on the criminal literature since the Middle Ages.
