Book Synopsis Poetry and Vision in Early Modern England by : Jane Partner
Download or read book Poetry and Vision in Early Modern England written by Jane Partner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reveals the ways in which seventeenth-century poets used models of vision taken from philosophy, theology, scientific optics, political polemic and the visual arts to scrutinize the nature of individual perceptions and to examine poetry’s own relation to truth. Drawing on archival research, Poetry and Vision in Early Modern England brings together an innovative selection of texts and images to construct a new interdisciplinary context for interpreting the poetry of Cavendish, Traherne, Marvell and Milton. Each chapter presents a reappraisal of vision in the work of one of these authors, and these case studies also combine to offer a broader consideration of the ways that conceptions of seeing were used in poetry to explore the relations between the ‘inward’ life of the viewer and the ‘outward’ reality that lies beyond; terms that are shown to have been closely linked, through ideas about sight, with the emergence of the fundamental modern categories of the ‘subjective’ and ‘objective’. This book will be of interest to literary scholars, art historians and historians of science.

Book Synopsis The Theory of Poetry in England by : R. Cowl
Download or read book The Theory of Poetry in England written by R. Cowl and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Cowl has attempted in this compact volume three things: 'to exhibit in selected documents the historical development of the general theory of poetry from the middle of the sixteenth century to the close of the nineteenth century'; 'to determine from authoritative sources the theoretical principles of the several schools of poetry and criticism'; and 'to present the arguments that have been advanced for or against controverted principles or doctrines.' The collection has been made with industry and) learning, and we have no doubt of its utility. But it must be pointed out that the rather ambitious programme above laid down cannot be adequately carried out in a book confined to the opinions of English critics. 'The historical development of the theory of poetry' cannot be 'exhibited' in English documents for the reason that important steps in it were taken on the continent, and owed their character to intellectual conditions there alone prevailing. Thus French classicism from the Pléiade to Boileau may be called a development without grave qualification, if we will; but English classicism from Sidney to Pope is rather a succession of detached or slightly connected tidal waves. Original criticism there has been in England in abundance; but in 'school' criticism, that which sets forth 'the theoretical principles' of this or the other branch of criticism, we have never been so rich as in those heretical adaptations of traditional theory to individual bent, which please our insular genius. Mr. Cowl's collection is mainly occupied with the conflict between the Neo-Classical and Romantic theories of poetry, which in a variety of phases and modifications runs through his three centuries. The extracts illustrating the beginning of the 'Romantic Revolt' - especially those from the still not very accessible writings of Hurd, Warton and Young, will no doubt be serviceable. The entire omission, on the other hand, of Shaftesbury and his individual and engaging presentation of the 'classicist' point of view is a serious lacuna. Shaftesbury is probably, when all is said, our most original thinker upon aesthetics before the nineteenth century, and he is still far from having received his due in England. In this and other points Mr. Cowl's book would have benefited from recent German studies in eighteenth-century aesthetics. And an older book, H. von Stein's Die Entstehung der neueren Ästhetik (1886), is still, to our thinking, in spite of more elaborate and diffuse successors, the ablest handling of its subject. Not to end on a note of disapproval, we observe the agreeable admission, here and there, among the more solemn debates and arguments, of a pointed obiter dictum from the essayists or novelists, such as Sterne's playful diatribe on 'the rules.' 'Great Apollo I if thou art in a giving humour, - give me - I ask no more, but one stroke of native humour, with a single stroke of thy own fire along with it - and send Mercury, with the rules and compasses, if he can be spared, with my compliments, to - no matter.' - The Modern Language Review, Vol. 1 [1914]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alone among artists, poets are at once blessed and burdened by the inherent semantic component and the tarnishing social employment of their linguistic medium.

Book Synopsis The Poetics of Aristotle by : Aristotle
Download or read book The Poetics of Aristotle written by Aristotle and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-03-07 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In it, Aristotle offers an account of what he calls "poetry" (a term which in Greek literally means "making" and in this context includes drama - comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play - as well as lyric poetry and epic poetry). They are similar in the fact that they are all imitations but different in the three ways that Aristotle describes: 1. Differences in music rhythm, harmony, meter and melody. 2. Difference of goodness in the characters. 3. Difference in how the narrative is presented: telling a story or acting it out. In examining its "first principles," Aristotle finds two: 1) imitation and 2) genres and other concepts by which that of truth is applied/revealed in the poesis. His analysis of tragedy constitutes the core of the discussion. Although Aristotle's Poetics is universally acknowledged in the Western critical tradition, "almost every detail about his seminal work has aroused divergent opinions."
