Book Synopsis Selected Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins with Modern English Paraphrases by : Gerard Manley Hopkins
Download or read book Selected Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins with Modern English Paraphrases written by Gerard Manley Hopkins and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Walhout writes of his first series of Hopkins paraphrases that it contained twenty of his most difficult poems. This second series includes all of the remaining early poetry and unfinished poetry from Hopkin's major poetic period. It is designed to reduce the difficulty in understanding the poems by offering complete paraphrases. The purpose is somewhat similar to that of giving a modern version of the Bible compared with, say, the King James Version. My first series of Hopkins paraphrases contains twenty of the most difficult poems. This second series includes all of the remaining poems from Hopkins's major poetic period beginning with The Wreck of the Deutschland in 1875, which was a turning point both in his decision to write poetry and in his distinctive style. The occasional poems, though not ranking high in Hopkins's own estimation, are included here because they reflect the distinctive style. Hopkins produced other poetical work, which is usually classified into early poetry and unfinished poetry. The early poetry seems less urgent for paraphrasing. As for the unfinished poems, it may seem presumptuous to paraphrase poems which Hopkins himself did not perfect. Neverthe

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays, chosen by the Philip Hamburger from his 60 years of writing for The New Yorker, chronicles not only the people of US political life (Judge Learned Hand, Fiorello La Guardia, Dean Acheson, FDR, Eisenhower, Reagan, Clinton) but also the places and events, with special emphasis on presidential inaugurations (the author has attended, he thinks, 14). Here is one man's view, both funny and serious, of the glorious diversity of American politics - and of the better angels of our nature.

Book Synopsis A New Midrashic Reading of Geoffrey Chaucer by : Norman Toby Simms
Download or read book A New Midrashic Reading of Geoffrey Chaucer written by Norman Toby Simms and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offers a novel interpretation of Chaucer as a "fuzzy Jew", a conflicted descendant of Conversos, who created the complex antisemitic character of the Prioress. Following a psycho-historical approach, suggests that the Prioress was raped as a child by a father-figure and that she projects the blame onto the Jews, who were demonized by her society. Associates child victimization with the alleged victimization felt by Chaucer for his own suffering as a child belonging to a group that had to conceal its identity. In view of Chaucer's putative Jewish heritage, offers kabbalistic perspectives on his work.

Book Synopsis The Life and Works of the Lancashire Novelist William Harrison Ainsworth, 1850-1882 by : Stephen James Carver
Download or read book The Life and Works of the Lancashire Novelist William Harrison Ainsworth, 1850-1882 written by Stephen James Carver and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Harrison Ainsworth, a prolific writer now as obscure as he once was famous, reinvented the gothic novel in an English setting, a radical re-write of Scott's model of the historical romance and an antecedent of the contemporary urban gothic of Dickens and Reynolds. This study examines Ainsworth's literary career from a writer of magazine tales of terror in the 1820s to the massive influence of his gothic/Newgate romance of 1834, Rookwood; his friendships with Lamb, Lockhart, and Dickens; his fall from literary grace during the Newgate controversy (a moral panic engendered by the supposedly pernicious effects of cheap, theatrical adaptations of Ainsworth's underworld romance Jack Sheppard). legacy of Ainsworth's subsequent historical novels, taking The Lancashire Witches to be his final, major work and the last of the original gothic novels. The novels The Tower of London, Guy Fawkes, Old St. Paul's and Windsor Castle are read as epic tragedy rather than simply as bad romance. The study re-examines Ainsworth's singular vision of the outlaw, English history and religious intolerance as being at political odds with the new Victorian value system, particularly with regard to Catholics and the urban poor. A final chapter explores Ainsworth's later life and fiction and his adoption by his native Mancunians as The Lancashire Novelist. The book includes extracts from Ainsworth's correspondence and journalism, detailing his close relationship with, among others, Scott, Dickens, Forster, Thackeray, Cruikshank, Bulwer-Lytton and G.P.R. James.

Book Synopsis The Regulation of Consciousness in the English Novel by : Owen Schur
Download or read book The Regulation of Consciousness in the English Novel written by Owen Schur and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining novels he considers representative of the English tradition from Austen to Woolf, Schur (English, Seton Hall U.) explores their representations of desire, power, and consciousness. He follows Lacan, but emphasizes the social more than the psychoanalytic, particularly looking at the intrusiveness of social power on individual subjectivity in the narratives. He finds that all the novels examine hierarchies of power in the social practices and social institutions by which and in which the protagonists live, and that these practices and institutions regular human desire and consciousness, especially through patriarchal power. The text is double spaced. Only names are indexed. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book excerpt: Dr. Behr has an engaging and lively mode of dealing with her chosen subject, one which is in itself an attractive and original one, moving as it does beyond the conventional stereotypes of the Gothic to reach a number of convincing reassessments of both gender and genre in this context. The examination of the various aspects of male identity is insightful and controlled and, Dr. Behr's facility for the apposite and pithy phrase cuts to the heart of the discussion, facilitating the flow of her ideas.

Book Synopsis Thomas Hardy's "The Dorsetshire Labourer" and Wessex by : Roger Lowman
Download or read book Thomas Hardy's "The Dorsetshire Labourer" and Wessex written by Roger Lowman and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born and brought up in a village-tradesman family, he broke away, re-inventing himself first as a professional architect, and then as a successful man of letters. The imagined societies of his rural novels are significantly selective: he ignores, marginalizes, or treats dismissively the mass of rural poor, the agricultural labourers, whose condition was a running concern of the nineteenth century. His novels focus on the independent group to which his family belonged: 'an interesting and better-informed class, ranking distinctly above' the agricultural labourers, as he pointedly tells us. His fictions are coloured with a rich rural conservatism where social attitudes are concerned. Hardy's Wessex countryside is to be valued as metaphor, not reportage: for the latter we have to turn to that huge bulk of contemporary material highlighting the situation of the agricultural poor, nowhere more severely felt than in Dorset. It is no wonder that his early readers were puzzled.
Book Synopsis The Letters, Life, and Works of John Oldmixon by : Mr. Oldmixon (John)
Download or read book The Letters, Life, and Works of John Oldmixon written by Mr. Oldmixon (John) and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the present volume reveals in remarkable detail life was immensely precarious for those who tried to make their living by the pen. Party writers rarely received adequate remuneration for their pains, and Oldmixon, always short of money, was reduced to writing supplicating letters to publishers such as genial Jacob Tonson. It is letters such as these which, when taken in conjunction with Oldmixon's own Memoirs of the Press (1742), offer unique details about the life of the professional writer, and reveal the significance of the sub-title of Professor Rogers's book: Politics and Professional Authorship in Early Hanoverian England. Hardship had forced Oldmixon to turn from writing plays and poetry to writing political pamphlets and essays. Yet despite submitting to labour at the Press like a Horse in a Mill (as James Ralph graphically put it)Oldmixon was never financially secure.

This volume has a long introduction summarizing Lee-Hamilton's strange life, outlining his poetic development, and placing his verse in its 19th century context. Notes record the textual sources of all poems and discuss Lee-Hamilton's revisions.
