Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies and Sketches in Modern Literature: Periodical Contributions During a slow and oft-retarded recovery from a serious ill ness, the author, laid aside from his usual literary engage ments. Was induced to make the following selection of Studies and Sketches' from a very considerable mass of Magazine articles which he had previously written. He had no design of sitting in judgment upon the character of his past labours, nor did he regard that selection as a sifting of the 'wheat' from the - he was not vain enough to fancy that his volume would consist purely of the former, nor did he afl'ect the voluntary humility' of holding that the re jected materials were fitly represented by the latter. There was a large accumulation of articles nearly equal to each other in value (whatever that might be) so that, if he had adopted such a test, his perplexity in choosing would have been insuperable.

In 1838 this book appeared; but its high theme and argument were not so congenial to the popular taste, as the fortunes of 'Nicholas Nickleby, ' which were then being unriddled: the ludicrous exhibition of a Yorkshire boarding school--with its scarcity of food and its abundance of flogging--was, in general estimation, something far better than the solemn opening of the universe as a school in which the ministry of evil is allowed for the present to exercise a mighty influence on the training of God's rational creatures; and Mr Squeers with his cane, was a successful rival to Lucifer with all his machinery of temptation. Your discerning public applauded the movements of a small plot in a farcical story, but had no patience to contemplate the evolving of the supreme spiritual law of Creation, in a poem instinct with genuine humanity. 'Festus' remained as much unknown as if it had never ventured to the light, unless to very select readers, whose attention the title had struck, and whose fervent admiration the book itself soon gained. These were amazed at its original, bold, and comprehensive range--involving time and eternity, the different creations and the one Creator--all acting as the guides and exponents of the destiny of a single human soul;--God, by the attraction of His irresistible will, and therefore the universe--holy and unholy--with or against its own will, leading that soul to final blessedness. They hailed it as a sublime representation, in vivid pictures, of the ultimate and innermost law of providence working on steadily, amid the tumult of conflicting agencies, to its first Sabbath. Apart from the scheme of the poem, every page afforded great thoughts, which compelled them to say with the author, --'Who.

Book excerpt: A study of drawing and philosophy in artistic practice, important not only for art history but also for literature studies, intellectual history, religious history, history of the book,and history of science. 00Leon Battista Alberti wrote in 'De pictura' (1435) that painting is divine because, ?as they say of friendship, a painting lets the absent be present.? Absence and Presence in Early-Modern Drawing Pedagogy examines this relationship between absent and present objects and subjects in early-modern artistic pedagogy. This book studies the intersections among artistic treatises, natural philosophy and theology from 1400-1700, arguing that drawing pedagogy sought to teach the painting of histories that stimulated in the viewer the sensation of being present before the historical moment, the person, the still life. The manifestation of presence remained not only in the sensation of sight but also in all the sensory perceptions of touch, taste, smell and the sixth sense of sensing, the experience of existence. This book demonstrates the pedagogical means by which artists sought to teach the simulation of presence (and the sensorial perception of absence

Download or read book The Art of Picturing in Early Modern English Literature written by Camilla Caporicci and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-04 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by an international group of highly regarded scholars and rooted in the field of intermedial approaches to literary studies, this volume explores the complex aesthetic process of "picturing" in early modern English literature. The essays in this volume offer a comprehensive and varied picture of the relationship between visual and verbal in the early modern period, while also contributing to the understanding of the literary context in which Shakespeare wrote. Using different methodological approaches and taking into account a great variety of texts, including Elizabethan sonnet sequences, metaphysical poetry, famous as well as anonymous plays, and court masques, the book opens new perspectives on the literary modes of "picturing" and on the relationship between this creative act and the tense artistic, religious and political background of early modern Europe. The first section explores different modes of looking at works of art and their relation with technological innovations and religious controversies, while the chapters in the second part highlight the multifaceted connections between European visual arts and English literary production. The third section explores the functions performed by portraits on the page and the stage, delving into the complex question of the relationship between visual and verbal representation. Finally, the chapters in the fourth section re-appraise early modern reflections on the relationship between word and image and on their respective power in light of early-seventeenth-century visual culture, with particular reference to the masque genre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernism's Other Work challenges deeply held critical beliefs about the meaning-in particular the political meaning-of modernism's commitment to the work of art as an object detached from the world. Ranging over works of poetry, fiction, painting, sculpture, and film, it argues that modernism's core aesthetic problem-the artwork's status as an object, and a subject's relation to it-poses fundamental questions of agency, freedom, and politics. With fresh accounts of works by canonical figures such as William Carlos Williams and Marcel Duchamp, and transformative readings of less-studied writers such as William Gaddis and Amiri Baraka, Siraganian reinterprets the relationship between aesthetic autonomy and politics. Through attentive readings, the study reveals how political questions have always been modernism's critical work, even when writers such as Gertrude Stein and Wyndham Lewis boldly assert the art object's immunity from the world's interpretations. Reorienting our understanding of the period, Siraganian demonstrates that the freedom of the art object from the reader's meaning presented a way to imagine an individual's complicated liberty within the state. Offering readers an original encounter with modernism, Modernism's Other Work will interest literary and art historians, literary theorists, critics, and scholars in cultural studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kristine Stiles has played a vital role in establishing trauma studies within the humanities. A formidable force in the art world, Stiles examines the significance of traumatic experiences both in the individual lives and works of artists and in contemporary international cultures since World War II. In Concerning Consequences, she considers some of the most notorious art of the second half of the twentieth century by artists who use their bodies to address destruction and violence. The essays in this book focus primarily on performance art and photography. From war and environmental pollution to racism and sexual assault, Stiles analyzes the consequences of trauma as seen in the works of artists like Marina Abramovic, Pope.L, and Chris Burden. Assembling rich intellectual explorations on everything from Paleolithic paintings to the Bible’s patriarchal legacies to documentary images of nuclear explosions, Concerning Consequences explores how art can provide a distinctive means of understanding trauma and promote individual and collective healing.

Book excerpt: Modernism is a key era in literary studies in which the reading and writing of literature was transformed. The Modernist movement smashed the boundaries of what was perceived as ' literary', with writers abandoning traditional conventions and drawing on a variety of very different influences from art to politics. Modernism is difficult to understand without an awareness of contemporary concerns, and Alan Friedman and Mia Carter offer a comprehensive guide to Modernism:An extensive introduction outlining the history and debates ...
