Book Synopsis Poetry and Humanism by : M. M. Mahood
Download or read book Poetry and Humanism written by M. M. Mahood and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Poetry and Humanism, M. M.' Mahood writes on the great religious poets of seventeenth-century England and their relation to Renaissance humanism. The seventeenth-century poets are almost without exception men of the world: their poetry is full of sensuous, scientific, and mundane images. But they are also religious men, fully aware of man's paradoxical situation between Heaven and earth. What these poets accomplish, Professor Mahood shows here, is a reintegration of the strands of humanism, a conscious re-orientation that restores the balance between God, man, and nature.

This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 1427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through forty-five creative and concise essays by an international team of authors, this Cambridge History brings the fifteenth century to life for both specialists and general readers. Combining the best qualities of survey texts and scholarly literature, the book offers authoritative overviews of central composers, genres, and musical institutions as well as new and provocative reassessments of the work concept, the boundaries between improvisation and composition, the practice of listening, humanism, musical borrowing, and other topics. Multidisciplinary studies of music and architecture, feasting, poetry, politics, liturgy, and religious devotion rub shoulders with studies of compositional techniques, musical notation, music manuscripts, and reception history. Generously illustrated with figures and examples, this volume paints a vibrant picture of musical life in a period characterized by extraordinary innovation and artistic achievement.
Book Synopsis Matthew Arnold by : George Robert Stange
Download or read book Matthew Arnold written by George Robert Stange and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arnold is among the most inaccessible of 19th-century poets, a fact of which he himself was well aware. Asking a great deal of his readers, he expected them to share his remote excitements and to follow his complicated intellectual processes. This study of Arnold's major poetic ideas defines their philosophical backgrounds through close and sustained reading of many individual poems. Professor Stange finds that Arnold organized his examination of life around these central ideas: poetry, nature, self, and love. He also considers Arnold’s work in relation to the philosophical and literary events and traditions of the continent, particularly Goethe’s lyrics and classical humanism. Originally published in 1967.

Book Synopsis The Gift of Immortality by : Stephen Murphy
Download or read book The Gift of Immortality written by Stephen Murphy and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the boast of literary power to glorify or immortalize, a topos of enormous popularity. Focusing on representative figures of Renaissance humanism and the roots of the topos in antiquity, author Stephen Murphy elaborates a complex myth of poetic power. This myth, constructed with the help of such theorists as Ernst Cassirer, Giambattista Vico, Marcel Mauss, and Theodor Adorno, includes the elements of nostalgia for a primordial epoch of magical effectiveness and social centrality, the ideal of patronage as gift exchange, and the absorption of these extra-literary circumstances into literary convention.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanism has mostly considered the question “What does it mean to be human?” from a Western perspective.

Book Synopsis Controversial Poetry 1400-1625 by : Judith Keßler
Download or read book Controversial Poetry 1400-1625 written by Judith Keßler and published by Radboud Studies in Humanities. This book was released on 2020 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Controversial poetry played a crucial role in dealing with religious, political, and scholarly conflicts from 1400 until 1625. This volume analyses roles and functions of Latin, Italian, Dutch, German, Scots, and Hungarian poetry in specific historical controversies. A media theory of poetical impact is proposed by Franz-Josef Holznagel and Dieuwke van der Poel. Levente Seláf, Philipp Steinkamp, and Guillaume van Gemert examine the genres sung in wars, and in rulers' controversies. Judith Kessler, Dirk Coigneau, Juliette Groenland, and Regina Töpfer analyse how female and male rhetoricians and humanists use verse in religious, municipal, and educational conflicts. Signe Rotter-Broman, Samuel Pakucs Willcocks, and Alasdair MacDonald explain how reception strategies can shape cultural and political identities."--

Book Synopsis Reviving Liberty by : Joan S. Bennett
Download or read book Reviving Liberty written by Joan S. Bennett and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milton's Great Poems--Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, and Samson Agonistes--are here examined in the light of his lifelong commitment to the English revolutionary cause. The poems, Joan Bennett shows, reflect the issues Milton had dealt with in theological and public policy debate, foreign diplomacy, and propaganda; moreover, they work innovatively with these issues, reaching in epic and tragedy answers that his pamphlets and tracts of the past twenty years had only partially achieved. The central issue is the nature and possibility of human freedom, or "Christian liberty." Related questions are the nature of human rationality, the meaning of law, of history, of individuality, of society, and--everywhere--the problem of evil. The book offers a revisionist position in the history of ideas, arguing that Renaissance Christian humanism in England descended not from Tudor to Stuart Anglicanism but from Tudor Anglicanism to revolutionary Puritanism. Close readings are offered of texts by Richard Hooker, Milton, and a range of writers before and during the revolutionary period. Not only theological and political positions but also political actions taken by the authors are compared. Milton's poems are studied in the light of these analyses. The concept of "radical Christian humanism" moves current Milton criticism beyond the competing conceptions of Milton as the poet of democratic liberalism and the prophet of revolutionary absolutism. Milton's radical Christian humanism was built upon pre-modern conceptions and experiences of reason that are not alien to our time. It stemmed from, and resulted in, a religious commitment to political process which his poems embody and illuminate.
Book Synopsis Theism and Humanism by : Arthur James Balfour
Download or read book Theism and Humanism written by Arthur James Balfour and published by Pantianos Classics. This book was released on 1915 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arthur Balfour's famous lectures, delivered in 1913 at the University of Glasgow, offer insight into the link between theism, a belief in God, and the philosophical aspects of humanism. In delivering and publishing these lectures, Balfour sought to explain complex concepts in a way that ordinary people could understand. The connection between faith in a divine God, and the humanistic attainment of the highest qualities celebrated in mortal beings, are neither obvious nor clear to most. As a devoted Christian and academic, with a background as a statesman and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the author understands well the need for clear communication. The lectures examine in sequence the moral, artistic, scientific and intellectual values held in the highest esteem. Each is explained as being connected deeply and vitally with the qualities of God and belief in the divineness of human existence. Each of the ten lectures is lively and spirited, showcasing the author's eloquence and passion for eclectic debate. Although his ideas span many disciplines of academia, Balfour demonstrates a keen knowledge for each, imbued by his lengthy background in learning.
