Book Synopsis "This Mighty Convulsion" by : Christopher Sten
Download or read book "This Mighty Convulsion" written by Christopher Sten and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book exclusively devoted to the Civil War writings of Walt Whitman and Herman Melville, arguably the most important poets of the war. The essays brought together in this volume add significantly to recent critical appreciation of the skill and sophistication of these poets; growing recognition of the complexity of their views of the war; and heightened appreciation for the anxieties they harbored about its aftermath. Both in the ways they come together and seem mutually influenced, and in the ways they disagree, Whitman and Melville grapple with the casualties, complications, and anxieties of the war while highlighting its irresolution. This collection makes clear that rather than simply and straightforwardly memorializing the events of the war, the poetry of Whitman and Melville weighs carefully all sorts of vexing questions and considerations, even as it engages a cultural politics that is never pat.

Book Synopsis War Verse (Classic Reprint) by : Frank Foxcroft
Download or read book War Verse (Classic Reprint) written by Frank Foxcroft and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Verse Regarded merely as verse, some of the poems by little known writers in this collection rise to as high a level as the writing of the recognized poets; regarded as the expression of true feeling, they often rise much higher. It would be presumptuous to describe this volume as an anthology. That term would imply research, orderly arrangement, classification. It has seemed to the Editor more suitable to present these poems without explanations or any definite grouping. The verses are sometimes light and gay, more often serious, but always they ring true.

Book Synopsis A Treasury of War Poetry: British and American Poems of the World War 1914-1917 (WWI Centenary Series) by : G. H. Clarke
Download or read book A Treasury of War Poetry: British and American Poems of the World War 1914-1917 (WWI Centenary Series) written by G. H. Clarke and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The present Anthology contains a number of representative poems produced by English-speaking men and women. The editorial policy has been humanly hospitable, rather than academically critical, especially in the case of some of the verses written by soldiers at the Front, which, however slight in certain instances their technical merit may be, are yet psychologically interesting as sincere transcripts of personal experience, and will, it is thought, for that very reason, peculiarly attract and interest the reader. It goes without saying that there are several poems in this group which conspicuously succeed also as works of art. For the rest, the attempt has been made, within such limitations as have been experienced, to present pretty freely the best of what has been found available in contemporary British and American war verse." This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.

Book Synopsis The New Anthology of American Poetry by : Steven Gould Axelrod
Download or read book The New Anthology of American Poetry written by Steven Gould Axelrod and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overview: Steven Gould Axelrod, Camille Roman, and Thomas Travisano continue the standard of excellence set in Volumes I and II of this extraordinary anthology. Volume III provides the most compelling and wide-ranging selection available of American poetry from 1950 to the present. Its contents are just as diverse and multifaceted as America itself and invite readers to explore the world of poetry in the larger historical context of American culture. Nearly three hundred poems allow readers to explore canonical works by such poets as Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Lowell, and Sylvia Plath, as well as song lyrics from such popular musicians as Bob Dylan and Queen Latifah. Because contemporary American culture transcends the borders of the continental United States, the anthology also includes numerous transnational poets, from Julia de Burgos to Derek Walcott. Whether they are the works of oblique avant-gardists like John Ashbery or direct, populist poets like Allen Ginsberg, all of the selections are accompanied by extensive introductions and footnotes, making the great poetry of the period fully accessible to readers for the first time.

Book Synopsis The Oxford Book of War Poetry by : Jon Stallworthy
Download or read book The Oxford Book of War Poetry written by Jon Stallworthy and published by Oxford [Oxfordshire] ; New York : Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1984 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There can be no area of human experience that has generated a wider range of powerful feelings than war. The 250 poems included in this acclaimed anthology span centuries of human conflict - from David's lament for Saul and Jonathan, and Homer's Iliad, to the finest poems of the Second World War, Vietnam, Northern Ireland, and El Salvador, as well as the chilling visions of the 'Next War'. Reflecting the feelings of authors as diverse as Virgil, Daniel Defoe, Emily Dickinson, and Adrian Mitchell, they reveal a great shift in social awareness from man's early celebratory war-songs to the more recent anti-war attitudes of poets responding to 'man's inhumanity to man', and to women and children.
