Book Synopsis Unsophisticated Verses and Lyrics by : Filton Hebbard
Download or read book Unsophisticated Verses and Lyrics written by Filton Hebbard and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-11 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author has always thought that poems should be written in a manner that is readable and understood at all levels of education. Furthermore, he believes they should contain a message that induces the reader to think on aspects of life outside his/her own sphere of activity, as well as gaining some pleasure when so doing. For poetry (as is the case in the majority of modern poetry) to consist of a conglomeration of words that do not correlate makes the author think that the poet is sometimes misguidedly interested in proving that the poet should be regarded as some special brand of intelligentsia. For him that is talent wasted. The poems presented in this volume are eminently readable and express meaning and feeling directly and honestly. As for Lyricsyhere, again the author objects to the modern songs that are usually a tales-of-woe screeched out in a manner that makes the wording completely indiscernible. No longer do we hear boys whistling tunes as they ride their pushbikes. The author points out that we are passing through a sad era and enjoys the thought that with these pieces of verseypoems and lyricsyhe might, in some small way, hasten its departure.

Book Synopsis The Voices of Medieval English Lyric by : Anne L. Klinck
Download or read book The Voices of Medieval English Lyric written by Anne L. Klinck and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2019-11-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was the medieval English lyric? Moving beyond the received understanding of the genre, The Voices of Medieval English Lyric explores, through analysis, discussion, and demonstration, what the term "lyric" most meaningfully implies in a Middle English context. A critical edition of 131 poems that illustrate the range and rich variety of lyric poetry from the mid-twelfth century to the early sixteenth century, The Voices of Medieval English Lyric presents its texts - freshly edited from the manuscripts - in thirteen sections emphasizing contrasting and complementary voices and genres. As well as a selection of religious poetry, the collection includes a high proportion of secular lyrics, many on love and sexuality, both earnest and humorous. In general, major authors who have been covered thoroughly elsewhere are excluded from the edited texts, but some, especially Chaucer, are quoted or mentioned as illuminating comparisons. Charles d'Orléans and the Scots poets Robert Henryson and William Dunbar add an extra-national dimension to a single-language collection. Textual and thematic notes are provided, as well as versions of the poems in Latin or French when these exist. Adopting new perspectives, The Voices of Medieval English Lyric offers an up-to-date, accessible, and distinctive take on Middle English poetry.
Book Synopsis Scribbling through History by : Chloé Ragazzoli
Download or read book Scribbling through History written by Chloé Ragazzoli and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most people the mention of graffiti conjures up notions of subversion, defacement, and underground culture. Yet, the term was coined by classical archaeologists excavating Pompeii in the 19th century and has been embraced by modern street culture: graffiti have been left on natural sites and public monuments for tens of thousands of years. They mark a position in time, a relation to space, and a territorial claim. They are also material displays of individual identity and social interaction. As an effective, socially accepted medium of self-definition, ancient graffiti may be compared to the modern use of social networks. This book shows that graffiti, a very ancient practice long hidden behind modern disapproval and street culture, have been integral to literacy and self-expression throughout history. Graffiti bear witness to social events and religious practices that are difficult to track in normative and official discourses. This book addresses graffiti practices, in cultures ranging from ancient China and Egypt through early modern Europe to modern Turkey, in illustrated short essays by specialists. It proposes a holistic approach to graffiti as a cultural practice that plays a key role in crucial aspects of human experience and how they can be understood.

Book excerpt: Regarded as one of the Fireside Poets, John Greenleaf Whittier was influenced by the poetry of Robert Burns and his early works reveal a Romantic strain. In later years, Whittier became an eloquent advocate of justice, tolerance, and liberal humanitarianism. The lofty spiritual and moral values he proclaimed earned him the title of “America’s finest religious poet” and many of his poems are still sung as church hymns.

Book Synopsis Romance Reading on the Book by : Jennifer Fellows
Download or read book Romance Reading on the Book written by Jennifer Fellows and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays provide an analysis of medieval romance narrative in Britain. The historical and cultural contexts within which several romances were produced, and their putative patrons and audiences, are the focus of several of the contributions, whilst others discuss romance manuscripts and their scribes, uncovering evidence of careful scribal co-operation and planning. The popular appeal and longevity of the genre emerge in discussions of romance's ability to reinvigorate traditional tales and of the changes it sustains over the centuries in order to satisfy the tastes of its largely bourgeois audience.
Book Synopsis Routledge Revivals: English Poetry in the Later Nineteenth Century (1933) by : B. Ifor Evans
Download or read book Routledge Revivals: English Poetry in the Later Nineteenth Century (1933) written by B. Ifor Evans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1933, this study, which underwent revision in the 1960s, is a comprehensive survey of the verse of English nineteenth-century poets whose work appeared after 1860. A special feature is the full and critical treatment of minor writers. In no other book is their work so carefully evaluated. There is a full account of the minor Pre-Raphaelites, of James Thomson, the poet of The City of Dreadful Night, of Henley, Stevenson and George MacDonald. John Davidson is the subject of a long and revealing study. Evans suggests that poetry from the late nineteenth century is neglected in scholarly study, and that Victorian Romanticism deserves more attention than it has recently received.
Download or read book Tennyson's Name written by Anna Barton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeking to understand Tennyson's poetry as the work of a man concerned with making and then living up to one of the most famous names in Victorian literature, Anna Barton offers close readings of Tennyson's major works. From his obscure beginning as 'A.T.', one of two anonymous brothers, to the height of his success, when he held the impressive title 'Alfred Lord Tennyson, DCL, Poet Laureate', the development of Tennyson's career took place in a period increasingly aware that a name could command considerable cultural capital. In the marketplace goods were sold on the strength of their brand name; in the press the battle for signed articles was fought and won; and in Victorian drawing rooms young ladies collected the autographs of family and friends and pasted them into scrap books. From his early lyrics to his Arthurian Idylls, Barton argues, the laureate's keen sense of professional identity forced him to grapple with modern concerns about the ethics of print in order to establish his own responsible poetic.
