Download or read book Pompeii's Ashes written by Eric Moormann and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there are many works dealing with Pompeii and Herculaneum, none of them try to encompass the entire spectrum of material related to its reception in popular imagination. Pompeii’s Ashes surveys a broad variety of such works, ranging from travelogues between ca. 1740 and 2010 to 250 years of fiction, including stage works, music, and films. The first two chapters provide an in-depth analysis of the excavation history and an overview of the reflections of travelers. The six remaining chapters discuss several clearly-defined genres: historical novels with pagan tendencies, and those with Christians and Jews as protagonists, contemporary adventures, time traveling, mock manuscripts, and works dedicated to Vesuvius. “Pompeii’s Ashes” demonstrates how the eternal fascination with the oldest still-running archaeological projects in the world began, developed, and continue until now.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flight has always fascinated human minds, but until a century ago it remained a dream—the exclusive domain of birds, gods, and mythological heroes. From the myths of the ancients to the poetry of Pindar and Yeats, Winged Words traces the imprint of the human impulse to fly from premodern times to the age of terrorism in both literature and history. Piero Boitani begins his analysis with an account of the way the myths of Pegasus and Icarus have persisted from classical to twentieth-century politics and literature. He then takes up the figure of Hermes; the roles of halcyons and eagles in classical, biblical, and later literatures; and literary response to Pieter Brueghel’s The Fall of Icarus. Honing in on modern figures and concerns, Boitani also offers a fascinating discussion of author-pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and concludes with a meditation on the flight of the hijacked airliners on 9/11. Throughout, Winged Word brings a remarkable range of men of action, politicians, theologians, writers, and artists into dialogue with each other: Shakespeare with T. S. Eliot, Horace with Ovid, Leonardo with Milton, Leopardi with Mallarmé, Saint-Exupéry with Faulkner and Rilke, and the Ulysses of Homer with the Ulysses of Dante. Ultimately, by showing how writers and fliers have looked to the ancients for inspiration, Boitani testifies to the modern relevance of poetry and the classics.

Download or read book Leopardi and the Theory of Poetry written by G. Singh and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first detailed and comprehensive account of Leopardi's theory of poetry, G. Singh assesses both the literary and critical attainments of a poet whose eminence ranks him with Dante and Petrarch. Singh's analysis, which employs extensive reference to Leopardi's work in order to illustrate the author's own comments, sets forth Leopardi's views on the larger questions of tradition, inspiration, and the imagination in poetry. Later chapters are concerned with the more specific matters of the poetic image, style, and language.

Book excerpt: La sterminata erudizione dell’Imbriani, che nei romanzi è usata per sviare sardonicamente la narrazione, in questa “panzana”, tale è definita dall’autore, è usata per avviare invece la possibilità d’un diverso svolgimento storico, d’un’ucronia. Che il duca Valentino dopo la sconfitta in Italia sia morto in Spagna, è storia solo per chi conosce appena le fonti più note. Per chi come Imbriani è a conoscenza di tante rarità librarie, l’ultima parte di vita di Cesare Borgia ha ben altro esito. Che poi questo scorcio di biblioteca imbrianesca che sorregge la tesi storica, “preborgesianamente”, come è stato detto, mescoli edizioni false ma plausibili a edizioni vere ma improbabili, come può il povero lettore, impotente di fronte a tanto sfoggio di cultura, accorgersene? E così citazione dopo citazione libresca Cesare Borgia raggiunge il nuovo mondo e convince per amore la medusa azteca, la bellissima principessa che pietrifica chiunque la fissi negli occhi, Ciaciunena l’impietratrice, a essere strumento della sua vendetta e cambiare il corso storico delle cose italiane. Ma innamoratosi anche lui, l’audacia e la confidenza che anche come amante dimostra lo perde, e viene inavvertitamente pietrificato dalla fanciulla. Che disperata, vuole almeno portare a termine la vendetta dell’uomo che amava, e giunge in Vaticano alla presenza di Giulio II per pietrificare il papa e tutta la sua corte. Ma, com’è come non è, i suoi poteri lapidificatori decadono in questo emisfero e Giulio II scampa alla pietrificazione quanto al corpo; «quanto al cuore dell’augusto vegliardo, già da prima e da un pezzo era di sasso, di macigno, di scoglio», come lapidariamente – è il caso di dire – soggiunge l’explicit di questa serissima panzana. Neppure nel gioco letterario l’acre pessimismo d’Imbriani che colora di tragico il cinico e il beffardo della sua intuizione del mondo si placa. Né la storia d’Italia sa mutarsi in meglio e far pendere le sorti in favore della santa ambizione di Cesare Borgia d’unificarla. Sicché questa panzana che così bizzarramente illustra il suo pessimismo scava ben a fondo nelle scelte politiche d’Imbriani mettendo in luce e mostrando una delle convinzioni e degli atteggiamenti che infondono il suo spirito reazionario.

Download or read book Modernist Parody written by Sarah Davison and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-08 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parody often stands accused of producing derivative art deficient in taste and skill. But in the hands of writers such as Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, Ford Madox Ford, and Virginia Woolf, the mode engendered revolutionary self-reflexive, critical, and creative practices that were crucial to the development of truly modern art. This book contends that the jauntiness, verve, and daring of high modernism is fundamentally parodic. It arguesthat parody is central to the whole modernist project. As a literary technique, parody provided the means for modernists of many stripes to learn their craft, sharpen their historical sense, definethemselves as post-Victorians, and respond to sources of inspiration while composing.
