Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1790s and 1800s, cultural critics became convinced that Britain was being 'inundated' by pernicious literary translations imported from the European Continent. British Romanticism and Continental Influences discusses Romantic writers' complex and ambivalent responses to this threatening literary invasion. Confronted with foreign texts that seemed both attractive and repulsive, Mortensen argues, Romantic writers such as Wordsworth and Coleridge publicly distanced themselves from European sensationalism, even as they assimilated and revised its conventions in their own writing.

Download or read book The American Discovery of the Norse written by Erik Ingvar Thurin and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The interest of a group of American writers in the Norse (Viking Age Scandinavians) began to develop in the late 1830s, reaching its high point at mid-century and tapering off after the Civil War as the members of the group neared the end of their careers (only one of the authors discussed, Julia Clinton Jones, joins the club at the end of the period)." "This period, defined as the original phase of the American discovery of the Norse, features two essayists, Emerson and Thoreau, who refer to the Norse in writing on a variety of topics. Fiction is represented by Melville alone (American writers of fiction like Stowe and Hawthorne shun the Norse). Neither the essayists nor Melville uses Norse themes as their primary subject. That is reserved for the poets: Lowell, Whittier, Taylor, Longfellow, and Julia Clinton Jones."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Download or read book Nordic Terrors written by Robert William Rix and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British literature, Scandinavia emerged as a setting for Gothic terror. This book explores the extensive use of Nordic superstition as it provided a vocabulary for Gothic texts, examining the cultural significance these references held for writers exploring Britain’s northern heritage. In Gothic publications, Nordic superstition sometimes parallels the representations of Catholicism, allowing writers to gloat at its phantasms and delusions. Thus, runic spells, incantations, and necromantic communications (of which Norse tradition afforded many examples) could replace practices usually assigned to Catholic superstition. Yet Nordic lore did more than merely supplant hackneyed Gothic formulas; it presented readers with an alternative conception of ‘Otherness’. Nordic texts—chiefly based on the Edda and the supernatural Scandinavian ballad tradition—were seen as pre-Christian beliefs of the Gothic (i.e., Germanic) peoples, including the Anglo-Saxons. The book traces the development of this Nordic Gothic, situating it within wider literary, historical, political, and cultural contexts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an introduction to modern myth, The Golden Horns masterfully encompasses a wide circle of historical and literary materials. John Greenway first establishes the theoretical base of his discussion by examining the nature of time in Norse mythic consciousness. After suggesting several ways in which the mythic apprehension of reality conditioned medieval Icelandic narrative, he then elaborates on the dialectical relationship between myth and reason. Maintaining that myth is neither true nor false but always either expressive or not, the author then traces the origin, rise, and fall of two great modern myths of northern birth: seventeenth century Swedish Gothicism and the Ossianic craze of the eighteenth century--both of which illustrate the singular tension in the modern mind between mythic imperatives and the impulse to de-mythologize. Finally, The Golden Horns traces the romantic belief in a "new mythology" which synthesizes myth and reason from its early acceptance through its eventual repudiation. In his conclusions about the state of myth in the modern world, Greenway postulates that we have inherited the romantic respect for myth as truth but lack the romantic faith in transcendence necessary to establish myth's reality. Consequently, we express our mythic consciousness of who we are in quasi-scientific language, consciously manipulating mythic symbols for social control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1987 book investigates the dismissal of William Morris's romances as self-indulgent fantasy, looking at the ways in which our sense of the 'escapism' of Morris's fairy-tale writing can be modified or expanded when seen in relation to the development of his imagination in other spheres, both political and creative.

Book excerpt: This eagerly-awaited sequel shares the characteristics of its distinguished predecessor -- wide geographical and chronological span; expert mingling of political, social and economic history; and Dr Kirby's ability to keep the separate national threads of his account from tangling as he weaves them into the broad regional picture that is his main concern. Here he tackles the contrasting experiences of Europe's northern periphery -- affluence and democracy in the north, stagnation and authoritarianism in the south -- from the French Revolution to the collapse of the USSR and beyond. This is a masterly study of a region that is far from peripheral politically to the post-Soviet world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History Of English Criticism, Which Was Originally The English Chapter Of Saintsbury S Monumental Three Volume A History Of Criticism And Literary Taste In Europe (1900-04), Was Published Separately In 1911 As A Revised, Adapted And Updated Edition, Complete In Itself. The Book Is The First Of Its Kind And Is Thus Of Great Historical Importance.The History Of English Criticism, As Saintsbury Sees It, Passes Through Three Distinct Stages: (I) The Initial Stage Of Elizabethan Criticism Tentative, Hesitating And Scattered Trying To Assimilate The Numerous Critical Ideas Scattered Throughout The Classical European Literatures (Ii) The Neo-Classic Period Starting With Dryden And Continuing Beyond The Beginning Of The Nineteenth Century And Then (Iii) The Stage Of Modified Or Modernist Criticism. It Is, However, A Continuous Process With Rise And Fall Of Various Schools, Theories, Movements And Attitudes Etc.The First Chapter Examines The Classical Legacy Which Provides The Relevant Critical Framework Against Which The Development Of English Criticism Must Be Seen. In The Subsequent Chapters Professor Saintsbury Discusses At Length The Contributions Of Elizabethan Critics, Dryden And His Contemporaries, The Eighteenth Century Critics, The English Precursors Of Romanticism, The Romantic Critics And The Critics During The Period From 1860 To 1900. The Conclusion Neatly Sums Up The General Plan Of The Book And The Findings Of Professor Saintsbury, The First Academic Historian Of Universal Criticism.Though Profoundly Luminous And Sharply Insightful The Book Makes A Delightful Reading Mainly Because Of The Vigour Of The Overbearing Character Of Saintsbury Who Always Transmits His Opinions With Gusto And Invites His Readers To Share His Views, His Happiness And Hearty Preferences, His Strong Likes And Dislikes.The Book Is A Must For Any Student Of Literary Criticism.
