Book excerpt: Reason and Beauty in the Poetic Mind focuses upon the two intertwined themes of Reason and Beauty as they are expressed poetically in English literature. It begins with a chapter on the unique characteristics of poetic creation, The Ostentation of Verse, and then unfolds in an alternating pattern, analyzing the distinctive appearances of these two concepts in writers as various as William Wordsworth (Reason), Christopher Marlowe (Beauty), Alexander Pope (Reason), John Keats (Beauty), and John Milton (Reason). In the climactic penultimate chapter, there is a meditation on William Shakespeare's depiction of what the author calls the actual schism in Reason. There follows a brief coda that moves beyond the confines of poetry to a contemplation of the wider religious dimensions that the literary investigation has opened up.

Download or read book The English Poetic Mind written by Charles Williams and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-03-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After an opening chapter that examines the nature of poetry itself and analyzes its effect upon the reader, the author, in The English Poetic Mind, moves on to his main purpose, which is to try to reveal the source of the drive to creation in three of the greatest English poets: William Shakespeare, John Milton, and William Wordsworth. In each he identifies a particular kind of crisis that is the origin of the poetic impulse. In the light of these discoveries he addresses the achievements of several lesser poets and concludes with a chapter that, in a more general way, tentatively offers a vision of the paths poetry might take in the future.
Book Synopsis The Mind of a Poet by : Raymond Dexter Havens
Download or read book The Mind of a Poet written by Raymond Dexter Havens and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to study the mind of a poet, specifically by picking William Wordsworth as a case study. The reason for signaling out Wordsworth as the person in whom to study the mind of a poet is that The Prelude reveals with unusual fullness a mind that is fundamentally poetic. Even its peculiarities, its numerous limitations, and its unusual emphases are in the main those of a poet. Besides, poetry—not, as with many other writers, religious or social problems, humanitarianism, science, politics, economics, metaphysics, or literary criticism—was the chief concern of his creative years. Further, the sheer amount of verse, criticism, letters, and journals Wordsworth produced makes him an excellent choice for a study of this kind.

Book excerpt: IN speaking of the Poetic Principle, I have no design to be either thorough or profound.

Book Synopsis Charles Williams by : Glen Cavaliero
Download or read book Charles Williams written by Glen Cavaliero and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Williams (1886-1945), the friend of T. S. Eliot, C. S. Lewis, and J. R. R. Tolkien, was both a writer with many gifts and a religious thinker of an unusual kind. Poet, playwright, novelist, biographer, critic, and theologian, in each capacity he displayed a distinctive and highly imaginative cast of mind. Here, in the first full-length study to appear for over twenty years, Glen Cavaliero discusses Williams's work in its entirety and pays particular attention to the manner in which his theological ideas were shaped and furthered by his various literary achievements. Following a brief account of Williams's life, the author examines the early poems, the criticism, biographies and plays, the novels, the Arthurian poems, and the assessment of Charles Williams's literary and theological importance. The book also illuminates the relationship between religious belief and the scope and working of the poetic mind. The discussion of Williams's place in twentieth-century literary history as a writer of "fantasy literature, and of his unique gifts as a Christian apologist in an age of skepticism, ensures that this book will be of immense interest to literary critics and theologians alike.

Book Synopsis The Dream of Reason by : Jenny George
Download or read book The Dream of Reason written by Jenny George and published by Copper Canyon Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jenny George’s debut showcases an astonishing poetic talent, a new voice that is intensely focused, patient, and empathic. The Dream of Reason explores the paradoxical relationships between humans and the animals we imagine, keep, fear, and consume. Titled after Goya’s grotesque bestiary, George’s own dreamscape is populated by purring moths, bats that crawl like goblins, and livestock—especially pigs, whose spirit and slaughter inform a central series of portraits. The poems invite moments of stark realism into a spacious, lucid realm just outside of time—finding revelation in stillness, intimacy in violence, and vision in language that lifts from the dark. From “Threshold Gods”: I saw a bat in a dream and then later that week I saw a real bat, crawling on its elbows across the porch like a goblin. It was early evening. I want to ask about death. But first I want to ask about flying. Jenny George lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where she runs a foundation for Buddhist-based social justice. She holds an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop.

Book Synopsis Full Gospel, Fractured Minds? by : Rick M. Nañez
Download or read book Full Gospel, Fractured Minds? written by Rick M. Nañez and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2010-02-23 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you sometimes feel you have to check your intellect at the church door, leaving reason behind to embrace the Christian faith? Do you hunger for a “full gospel” that includes the mind as well as heart and Spirit? Full Gospel, Fractured Minds? challenges charismatic and Pentecostal believers to discover the power of a well-maintained mind—a mind on fire—to match a heart on fire and to create a life that operates within the full counsel of God . Nañez shows how human reason helps us understand and interpret God’s Word as well as defend the gospel. He shows what the Bible teaches about the mind, and explores the backgrounds of nineteenth-century and modern culture, anti-intellectualism, Pentecostal history and beliefs, and popular misconceptions about human intellect in relation to the Christian faith. Full Gospel, Fractured Minds? helps men and women practice a Christian faith that reflects the whole person and the full gospel. “Rick Nañez calls Pentecostals and charismatics to seek a balance between mind and Spirit. This book will stir you to seek all that God has for you.” —From the Foreword by Stanley M. Horton, PhD

Book Synopsis An Immortality for Its Own Sake by : John P. Gigrich
Download or read book An Immortality for Its Own Sake written by John P. Gigrich and published by . This book was released on 1954 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A personal friend of T.S. Eliot, Dorothy Sayers, Christopher Fry, and C.S. Lewis, to mention only a few, Charles Walter Stansby Williams (1886-1945) was a self-educated, somewhat scholarly, rather ugly-faced Londoner with a Cockney accent. As a married man with the usual economic difficulties that disturb family life, he was forced to supplement his income as an editor for Oxford University Press by lecturing, tutoring, and writing. In a comparatively short life time he produced more than fifty works, several published posthumously, plus a considerable number of articles, book reviews, and verses for British and Irish periodicals. The annotated bibliography at the end of this study gives a general indication of the scope and value of this literary output. Since the death of Charles Williams, something like a cult has grown up about his name, not only in Anglican literary circles in England but also in various university and church circles in America. The reasons for this are not always obvious, but one fact appears to be certain: the cult is usually concerned with Williams, the philosopher, or Williams, the theologian, or Williams, the novelist. T.S. Eliot, Dorothy Sayers, and C.S. Lewis, for example, have discussed briefly one or all three of these facets of Williams' literary personality, and the latter two have acknowledged a certain literary indebtedness to him. As yet, however, few members of the cult recognize Williams as a dramatist, poet, literary critic and theorist, historian and biographer, and editor. Moreover, with the exception of C.S. Lewis, no member of the cult has attempted a scholarly investigation of any aspect of Williams' thought. The present study is a critical exploration of one of these avenues of thought: Williams' concept of the nature of poetry. The conclusion of this study indicates that the members of the cult should seriously consider him as a literary critic and theorist. At a time when modern criticism still exhibits the confusion inherited from its romantic background, it is no mean achievement for Williams to separate the art of poetry from the other intellectual disciplines and to claim that "poetry is a thing sui generis.--p. vii.
