It also examines the historical facts which lead to the departure of the prophet from Hebrew literature following the destruction of the second temple. Finally, it addresses the necessity of reappearance of the prophet in the 18th and 19th centuries in Hebrew thought and literature and provides a short history of that reappearance in Haskala literature.

Book Synopsis Prophecy and Poetry by : Arthur Rogers
Download or read book Prophecy and Poetry written by Arthur Rogers and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-07 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume before us is a series of lectures delivered on the Bohlen Foundation by Rev. Dr. Rogers, a Rector of the Episcopal Church. This is in line with the progressive history of English Literature, as it has so often found its ablest exponents in the ranks of the clergy, as seen in Chalmers, Whately, Maurice, Stanley, Trench, Sprague, Channing, and others, the special studies of the Christian minister leading him so often into the related province of literary production. The sub-title of the volume is "Studies in Isaiah and Browning", the object being to institute a comparison between them, as prophet and poet. Of the nine chapters of the book, the first one- "The Common Ground of Poetry and Religion" may be said to lay the basis and set the form for all that follows. In such books as Santayana's "Poetry and Religion", Selkirk's "Ethics and Aesthetics of Modern Poetry", Brooke's "Theology of the English Poets", Shairp's "Culture and Religion", Scudders "Life of the Spirit in Modern English Letters" and Wilson's "Theology of Modern Literature" we have this fruitful theme, for as the author remarks-"It is impossible to say the last word about either of them", poetry being "the expression of man's highest thought" and religion "the satisfaction of his deepest need". However different, therefore, their spheres may be, they "cannot be kept apart." In chapters II, III, and IV, the author develops in full the sub-title of his work. In the first-"Isaiah Among the Prophets", he institutes a suggestive comparison between the mission of other prophets, such as Moses, Jeremiah and Hosea, and that of Isaiah, with his "passion for righteousness and contempt for half-way measures", "the most representative of them all". In the following chapter "Browning Among the Poets", he views him as contrasted with other great English poets-with Shakespeare and Wordsworth and Matthew Arnold and Tennyson, insisting that Browning, while net necessarily the greatest of our poets, has a message for all those "who are stirred by the thousand questions that give to life its interest." In chapter IV, "Isaiah and Browning", we have the specific study of these two world-authors as representing Prophecy and Poetry, wherein it is suggested that they were alike marked by intensity of spirit, by clearness, breadth and penetration of vision, by the same "enthusiasm of living, the same vigorous utterance and instinct of catholicity". In the five chapters that follow, these comparisons are continued. As Isaiah showed how Assyria was used by God to punish a sinful people, so Browning showed "how evil may be forced to do the work of good, in its own despite". As Isaiah taught how in the face of all chastisements "A Remnant shall Return", so Browning taught that under the direst conditions, something of good will be found to exist and survive. To the prophet and poet alike "The Meaning of the Future" was significant, so full of possibility and promise to those who viewed it aright. To each of them "The Force of Personality", divine and human, appealed, the "Besetting God", as he phrases it; in his closing chapter, being "a Dweller and Worker in his own world". Such, in barest outline, are the content, method and motive of a very interesting volume, one which we cordially commend to every student of Biblical and secular literature as a solid contribution to the subject discussed. Fresh and suggestive in its conceptions, extremely rich and pertinent in its concrete illustrations from scripture and the poets, guarded, in the main, from what might easily become extreme and forced comparisons, it presents in a vital manner these two great exponents of their respective generations and seeks to show that, though centuries apart and with vocations widely different, they were working on "common ground" and toward the same great moral ends.... -Princeton Theological Review, Volume 8 [1910]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1952 book is an inquiry into the relations in origin between literature and inspiration, based on a study of the practices of seers in modern communities where oral literature sill survives, and of the records of primitive poetry in the West and North. Mrs Chadwick discusses the universal reverence accorded to poets, musicians, seers, or prophets, the training they underwent, the methods of ecstasy, and the remarkable similarities of their messages in remote and different parts of the world.
Book Synopsis Poetry and Identity in Quattrocento Naples by : Matteo Soranzo
Download or read book Poetry and Identity in Quattrocento Naples written by Matteo Soranzo and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry and Identity in Quattrocento Naples approaches poems as acts of cultural identity and investigates how a group of authors used poetry to develop a poetic style, while also displaying their position toward the culture of others. Starting from an analysis of Giovanni Pontano’s Parthenopeus and De amore coniugali, followed by a discussion of Jacopo Sannazaro’s Arcadia, Matteo Soranzo links the genesis and themes of these texts to the social, political and intellectual vicissitudes of Naples under the domination of Kings Alfonso and Ferrante. Delving further into Pontano’s literary and astrological production, Soranzo illustrates the consolidation and eventual dispersion of this author’s legacy by looking at the symbolic value attached to his masterpiece Urania, and at the genesis of Sannazaro’s De partu Virginis. Poetic works written in neo-Latin and the vernacular during the Aragonese domination, in this way, are examined not only as literary texts, but also as the building blocks of their authors’ careers.
Book Synopsis Phillis Wheatley as Prophetic Poet by : Wallis C. Baxter III
Download or read book Phillis Wheatley as Prophetic Poet written by Wallis C. Baxter III and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-05-04 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In You Must Be Born Again: Phillis Wheatley as Prophetic Poet, the author argues that Phillis Wheatley is the mother of liberation theology. The author uses Wheatley’s poetry and life experiences to create a portrait of Wheatley beyond that of a poet. Wheatley is described as both poet and visionary who wrestles with God during the creative process. The lyrical expressions of Wheatley’s poetry unlock the spiritual impressions on her heart. The author sets up the racial dynamics of Wheatley’s time and her engagement with those politics. As a preacher, Wheatley combats the immoral undercurrent that erodes the community’s social, economic, and spiritual foundation as well as its political systems. The author positions Wheatley as one uniquely qualified to address the hypocrisy within her world and, by implication, present-day society by calling for immersion into a radical understanding of love and justice, resulting in a renewed hope for equality and a pathway toward equity.

Book Synopsis Prophetic Tradition and Radical Rhetoric in America by : James Darsey
Download or read book Prophetic Tradition and Radical Rhetoric in America written by James Darsey and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1999-09 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This expansive volume traces the rhetoric of reform across American history, examining such pivotal periods as the American Revolution, slavery, McCarthyism, and today's gay liberation movement. At a time when social movements led by religious leaders, from Louis Farrakhan to Pat Buchanan, are playing a central role in American politics, James Darsey connects this radical tradition with its prophetic roots. Public discourse in the West is derived from the Greek principles of civility, diplomacy, compromise, and negotiation. On this model, radical speech is often taken to be a sympton of social disorder. Not so, contends Darsey, who argues that the rhetoric of reform in America represents the continuation of a tradition separate from the commonly accepted principles of the Greeks. Though the links have gone unrecognized, the American radical tradition stems not from Aristotle, he maintains, but from the prophets of the Hebrew Bible.

Book Synopsis Dante and the Making of a Modern Author by : Albert Russell Ascoli
Download or read book Dante and the Making of a Modern Author written by Albert Russell Ascoli and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-13 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading scholar Albert Russell Ascoli traces the metamorphosis of Dante Alighieri – minor Florentine aristocrat, political activist and exile, amateur philosopher and theologian, and daring experimental poet – into Dante, author of the Divine Comedy and perhaps the most self-consciously 'authoritative' cultural figure in the Western canon. The text offers a comprehensive introduction to Dante's evolving, transformative relationship to medieval ideas of authorship and authority from the early Vita Nuova through the unfinished treatises, The Banquet and On Vernacular Eloquence, to the works of his maturity, Monarchy and the Divine Comedy. Ascoli reveals how Dante anticipates modern notions of personalized, creative authorship and the phenomenon of 'Renaissance self-fashioning'. Unusually, the book examines Dante's career as a whole offering an important point of access not only to the Dantean oeuvre, but also to the history and theory of authorship in the larger Italian and European tradition.
