Book Synopsis R.S. Thomas: Poet of the Hidden God by : D.Z. Phillips
Download or read book R.S. Thomas: Poet of the Hidden God written by D.Z. Phillips and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 1986-01-01 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is one philosopher's response to the poetry of R. S. Thomas. It examines the poet's struggle with the possibilities of sense in religion: R. S. Thomas has described his poetry as an obsession with the possibility of having 'conversations or linguistic confrontations with ultimate reality'. Some attempts at giving meaning to religious belief cannot withstand the assaults of criticism. In R. S. Thomas's verse, however, there emerges a hard-won celebration of the worship of a hidden God; a rare achievement in contemporary poetry. In plotting the course of the development of the poetry, the book brings out its many similarities with the thrusts and counter-thrusts of argument in the philosophy of religion in the second half of the twentieth century. The book should be of interest not only to admirers of R. S. Thomas, but to philosophers, theologians, students of literature, and to anyone concerned with questions concerning the sense or senselessness of religious belief.

Book Synopsis R. S. Thomas by : Christopher Morgan
Download or read book R. S. Thomas written by Christopher Morgan and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 220 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. Christopher Morgan writes with keen critical insight on the controversial poet R. S. Thomas, considered to be one of the leading writers of the twentieth century. This is the first book to treat Thomas's entire oeuvre and will prove to be an indispensible guide and companion to the complete poems. The book is divided into three parts, each of which interprets the development of a major theme over Thomas's twenty-seven volumes, probing particular themes and particular poems with a meticulous insight. The book also treats Thomas's work as a complex and interrelated whole, as a body of work that comprises a single artistic achievement, and assesses that achievement within the context of an array of major literary figures from Montaigne to Seamus Heaney and Wallace Stevens. R. S. Thomas: Identity, environment, deity proves invaluable as a beginner's introduction to the Welsh poet, as a student's guide to critical thinking about the poet's work, and as a provocative new step in scholarly studies.

Book Synopsis The Poetry of R.S. Thomas by : John Powell Ward
Download or read book The Poetry of R.S. Thomas written by John Powell Ward and published by Seren Books. This book was released on 2001 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R. S. Thomas is the author of 20 collections of poetry, a writer of international repute, and the subject of increasing critical and academic interest. The Poetry of R.S. Thomas was the first critical work about him, an invaluable volume which has yet to be surpassed. Its author has taken the opportunity to completely revise and update the book reflecting on both the development of Thomas career and the poetry collections of the last ten years. Grouping the books together thematically, Ward examines Thomas growing reputation and discusses the poets concerns and subjects, and the images and techniques he uses to express them as they evolve through the increasing Thomas canon. The result is a fascinating guide to more than 50 years of writing. The breadth of Wards knowledge, together with his own practice as a poet, ensures he is equally at home with theological argument or the use of metaphor; nationalism or naturalism; Romanticism or the philosophy of Wittgenstein. Ward offers stimulating insights into the character and work of the 20th centurys greatest religious poet in English, from the early hill-farmer poems which brought him fame through those allied to visual art, the "lost faith" poems, to the philosophical later work. In the process Ward confirms his own position as one of the most profound thinkers about poetry today.

Download or read book Frequencies of God written by Carys Walsh and published by Canterbury Press. This book was released on 2020-08-30 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the season of Advent, the coming of Christ is imminent, and following the contours of the season leads through a rich time of preparation for God-with-us in the Incarnation. R. S. Thomas, a poet of waiting and anticipation, can be a profound guide for this season. His spiritual and poetic trajectory of discovering the presence of God - divine ‘frequencies’ - even in apparent absence, can help lead us into an Advent landscape of surrender, open-hearted discovery, epiphany and encounter. This collection of 28 reflections on Thomas’s poetry travels through the season, and follows one of the traditional patterns of themes explored in each Sunday of Advent: a Carmelite pattern of waiting, accepting, journeying and birthing.

Book Synopsis Etched by Silence by : Ronald Stuart Thomas
Download or read book Etched by Silence written by Ronald Stuart Thomas and published by Hymns Ancient and Modern Ltd. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of poems by Wales' most famous poet-priest, R S Thomas, is interspersed with short reflections and questions for exploration that connect the timeless poetry to the landscape that inspired it. Originally produced locally for visitors to the North Wales village and church where R S Thomas was the parish priest, its appeal extends to all who know and love the raw honesty and sparse, striking style of the poetry, and whose own faith and questions are mirrored in it. Aberdaron still welcomes streams of visitors, R S Thomas aficionados and pilgrims en route to the nearby holy island of Bardsey. This book brings the poetry alive in a fresh way and provides a pilgrim guide to the locality, along with reflections that enable armchair readers everywhere to enter more deeply into the world of the poems. All royalties will continue to go to maintaining the church at Aberdaron.
