Both poets and warriors specialize in madness and aggression and are necessary, yet dangerous, to society.

Book excerpt: In the development of artistic genius the part played by "inspiration" is enigmatic. To be sure, Terpsichore, Calliope, and their seven sisters remain potent muses indeed; however, no artist--no sculptor, painter, writer, composer, or choreographer--will deny the crucial importance of the impetus that can be provided by the tenth muse, the Muse of Gold. From "the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome" to the cathedrals of France and the skyscrapers of Kuala Lumpur, architects have shaped the structures and were paid for their creative labors. That has been the obvious and essential financial arrangement in every branch of the arts. In earlier times the creators were usually anonymous; later they acquired personal recognition and fame. Either way, they were generally comissioned by the ruler, the state, the church, or wealthy private citizens: Pericles, Maecenas, Louis XIV, the Medici, the popes, and individuals like the Earl of Southampton and Peggy Guggenheim. Of course the artist in any field in gratified by the appreciation of his work by an intelligent and perceptive audience. But when appreciation is augmented by actual patronage, the artist''s pleasure becomes considerably keener. For as the 18th-century English novelist Tobias Smollett observed, "empty praise will not supply the cravings of nature, and merit alone will not bring success." Today patronage is corporate rather than personal, generally taking the form of grants and fellowships. And certainly the broadened financial recognition of merit has helped foster the talents of many more individuals than could be aided by the individual sponsors of yesteryear. Yet there seems to be no proportionate increase in the number of artists of the caliber of Shakespeare, Mozart, Michelangelo, or Balanchine. It often takes personal contact to ignite the flame of genius--or to keep it glowing. Though both the artist and his patron lead their own private and separate lives, each of them can be deeply affected by the intersection of the two complementary individuals. The Muse of Gold is an attempt to trace the steps by which that critical spark is transmuted into a vivifying force.

Book excerpt: What was the role of mousike in Greek life? Broader in its implications than the English "music," mousike, the realm of the Muses, lay at the heart of Greek culture. Yet, despite its centrality, its social and intellectual implications have rarely been investigated. In these new and specially commissioned essays leading experts analyze the political, religious, and ethical significance of musical performance in the classical Athenian city, and open up a new field of investigation in cultural history.

Download or read book Aaron Hill written by Christine Gerrard and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2003 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his lifetime Aaron Hill was one of the most lively cultural patrons and brokers on the London literary scene - an image hard to square with the company of undistinguished scribblers to which Pope relegated him in the Dunciad. Aaron Hill: The Muses' Projector, 1685-1750, the firstbiography of this fascinating figure for nearly a century, aims to correct the distorted picture of the Augustan cultural scene which Pope passed down to posterity. Hill deliberately confronted Pope in his attempt to free poetry's sublime and visionary potential from the stale platitudes ofneo-classical convention. An early champion of women poets, he also enjoyed close relationships with Eliza Haywood and Martha Fowke, and brought his three writing daughters Urania, Astrea, and Minerva into close contact with his lifelong friend the novelist Samuel Richardson. In 1711 Hill, as stagemanager and librettist, introduced Handel to the English stage, as well as lobbying tirelessly for innovation in the eighteenth-century theatre. His entrepreneurial energies, directed at both commercial and cultural projects, mirror the zeitgeist of early Hanoverian Britain.

Download or read book The Muses of Resistance written by Donna Landry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this challenging 1990 study, Donna Landry shows how an understanding of the remarkable but neglected careers of laboring-class women poets in the eighteenth century provokes a reassessment of our ideas concerning the literature of the period. Poets such as the washerwoman Mary Collier, the milkwoman Ann Yearsley, the domestic servants Mary Leapor and Elizabeth Hands, the dairywoman Janet Little, and the slave Phyllis Wheatley can be seen adapting the conventions of polite verse for the purposes of social criticism. Some of their strategies relate to earlier texts, revealing ideological blind spots in the tropes of male poets. Elsewhere, they made interesting innovations in poetic form. Mary Leapor's 'Crumble Hall', for instance, by attending to sexual politics, extends the critique of aristocratic privilege in the country-house poem beyond that of Pope and Crabbe. In Ann Yearsley's verse, landscape description, historical narrative, and philosophical meditation are infused with political comment. Historically important, technically impressive and often aesthetically innovative, the poetic achievements of these plebeian women writers constitute an exciting literary discovery.
