Book Synopsis Hidden Designs (Routledge Revivals) by : Jonathan Crewe
Download or read book Hidden Designs (Routledge Revivals) written by Jonathan Crewe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-27 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1986 study offers a challenging contribution to the on-going critical debate surrounding the English literary Renaissance. Although informed by the ‘new historicism’ and post-structuralism, Hidden Designs makes a plea for criticism to be practiced in its own name rather than in the name of theory, and opposes the hyper-professionalisation of literary studies in favour of the broader communal functions of criticism. Major Renaissance authors and their recent critics are placed under ‘suspicion’ as Crewe explores the elements of ‘criminality’ inherent in the powerful interests –personal, institutional, political and cultural – served by the literary enterprise, or channelled through it. Revisionary readings of Sidney, Spenser, Puttenham and Shakespeare are linked by a continuing commentary on the history and theoretical claims of Renaissance criticism.
Book Synopsis Spenser's Faerie Queene and the Cult of Elizabeth by : Robin Headlam Wells
Download or read book Spenser's Faerie Queene and the Cult of Elizabeth written by Robin Headlam Wells and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1983, Spenser’s Faerie Queene and the Cult of Elizabeth presents The Faerie Queene as a central document in the cult of Elizabeth. It shows how Spenser combines the resources of medieval iconography and Renaissance rhetoric in celebrating the Queen as the predestined ruler of an elect nation. In its introductory discussion of Renaissance poetics, the book emphasises the contemporary belief in the moral function of praise. Particular attention is given to the popular identification of Elizabeth with the Virgin Mary. If Elizabeth’s gender created problems for a poet writing in the heroic mode, at the same time it made available to him a form of praise that no secular poet had been able to use before. While the book contains material of interest to the Renaissance specialist, its lucid style and the valuable background material it provides will appeal to undergraduates reading Spenser for the first time.

Book Synopsis Routledge Revivals: English Literature (1962) by : B. Ifor Evans
Download or read book Routledge Revivals: English Literature (1962) written by B. Ifor Evans and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1962, this book is a reflection on Sir Ifor Evans’s well-known A Short History of English Literature. In this reflective study, Evans wonders if it is possible to trace permanent elements in such a huge and varied mass of writings? As he moves from the Anglo-Saxon Caedmon to T.S Eliot, or from Milton to James Joyce, he finds out how, in unexpected ways, the English spirit of compromise extends into its literature, along with its love of nature and interest in the individual. In poetic imagery above all the British genius seems, typically, to have found a way of making ‘empiricism transcendental’. This book, which had its origin during the war under the aegis of the British Council, provides the reader with a stimulating passport to a very rich kingdom.

Book Synopsis Routledge Revivals: Patriotism: The Making and Unmaking of British National Identity (1989) by : Raphael Samuel
Download or read book Routledge Revivals: Patriotism: The Making and Unmaking of British National Identity (1989) written by Raphael Samuel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1989, this is the third of three volumes exploring the changing notions of patriotism in British life from the thirteenth century to the late twentieth century and constitutes an attempt to come to terms with the power of the national idea through a historically informed critique. This volume studies some of the leading figures of national myth, such as Britannia and John Bull. One group of essays looks at the idea of distinctively national landscape and the ways in which it corresponds to notions of social order. A chapter on the poetry of Edmund Spenser explores metaphorical representations of Britain as a walled garden, and the idea of an enchanted national space is taken up in a series of essays on literature, theatre and cinema. An introductory piece charts some of the startling changes in the image of national character, from the seventeenth-century notion of the English as the most melancholy people in Europe, to the more uncertain and conflicting images of today.

Book Synopsis Stories from the Faerie Queene by : Mary MacLeod
Download or read book Stories from the Faerie Queene written by Mary MacLeod and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-10-20 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spenser's The Faerie Queene is one of the masterpieces of English poetry, and certainly part of the literary pedigree that culminated in Tolkien. However, the original text is very difficult to follow for modern readers because of the archaic language and spelling. To the rescue comes Mary Macleod. Her late Victorian retelling in straightforward modern English allows one to plow through Spenser's intricate and allegorical plot. If you are planning to read the Faerie Queene, or want to understand the narrative but don't have the time or patience to tangle with an epic poem in early modern English, you've come to the right place.

Download or read book Stories from the Faerie Queen written by Jeanie Lang and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than three hundred years ago there lived in England a poet named Edmund Spenser. He was brave and true and gentle, and he loved all that was beautiful and good. Edmund Spenser wrote many poems, and the most beautiful of all is the one called 'The Faerie Queen.' He loved so dearly all things that are beautiful and all things that are good, that his eyes could see Fairyland more clearly than the eyes of other men ever could. There are many, many stories in 'The Faerie Queen, ' and out of them all I have told you only eight. Some day you will read the others for yourself. In this little book Miss Rose Le Quesne has made one pretty picture for each story. But when you are old enough to read for yourself 'The Faerie Queen' that Edmund Spenser wrote, you will find that there is a picture on every page. JEANIE LANG.
