Upholding Mystery: An Anthology of Contemporary Christian Poetry
ISBN: 9780195104004 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Most readers of contemporary poetry would agree with literary critic Helen Vendler that "there is no significant poet whose work does not mirror, both formally and in its preoccupations, the absence of the transcendent"--that no major modern poet writes religious poetry. Indeed, the very idea that a vital Christian poetry might arise within our thoroughly secular culture seems almost inconceivable. Is it possible that a body of Christian poetry is now being produced whose literary merit is equal to its religious conviction? David Impastato's splendid anthology, Upholding Mystery, answers that...

Running to Paradise: Yeats's Poetic Art
ISBN: 9780195113914 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Running to Paradise, M.L. Rosenthal, hailed by the Times Literary Supplement as "one of the most important critics of twentieth-century poetry," leads us through the lyric poetry and poetic drama of our century's greatest poet in English. His readings shed new, vivid light on Yeats's daring uses of tradition, his love poetry, and the way he faced the often tragic realities of revolution and civil war. Running to Paradise describes Yeats's whole effort--sometimes leavened by wild humor--to convey, with high poetic integrity, his passionate sense of his own life...

ISBN: 9780195115611 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Singing the Body of God: The Hymns of Vedantadesika in Their South Indian Tradition
ISBN: 9780195127355 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is the first full-length study of the devotional poetry and poetics of the fourteenth-century poet-philosopher Vedantadesika, one of the most outstanding and influential figures in the Hindu tradition of Sri-Vaishnavism (the cult of Lord Vishnu). Despite their intrinsic beauty and theological importance, the poetry and philosophy of Vedantadesika have received very little scholarly attention. But for the millions who belong to the Vaishnava tradition, those poems are not just classical literature; they are committed to memory, recited, sung, and enacted in ritual both in India and...

ISBN: 9780195129885 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From the tenth century to the thirteenth, the Jews of Spain belonged to a vibrant and relatively tolerant Arabic-speaking society, a sophisticated culture that had a marked effect on Jewish life, thought, artistic tastes, and literary expression. In this companion volume to Wine, Women, and Death, we see how the surrounding Arabic culture influenced the new poetry that was being written for the synagogue service. The Hebrew poems here, accompanied by elegant English translations and explanatory essays are short lyrics of the highest literary quality.

Reading the Eve of St.Agnes: The Multiples of Complex Literary Transaction
ISBN: 9780195130225 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Using the 180-year history of Keats'sEve of St. Agnes as a basis for theorizing about the reading process, Stillinger's book explores the nature and whereabouts of "meaning" in complex works. A proponent of authorial intent, Stillinger argues a theoretical compromise between author and reader, applying a theory of interpretive democracy that includes the endlessly multifarious reader's response as well as Keats's guessed-at intent. Stillinger also considers the process of constructing meaning, and posits an answer to why Keats's work is considered canonical, and why it is still being...

Gods and Mortals: Modern Poems on Classical Myths
ISBN: 9780195133417 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From Valery, Yeats, Lawrence, Rilke, Akhmatova, and Auden writing in the first half of the century to such contemporary poets as Lucille Clifton, Derek Walcott, Rita Dove, Wislawa Szymborska, and Mark Strand, the material of Greek myth has elicited a poetry of remarkably high achievement. And by organizing the poems first into broad categories such as "Heroes," "Lovers," "Trespassers," and secondly around particular mythological figures such as Persephone, Orpheus, or Narcissus, Kossman treats readers to a fascinating spectrum of poems on the same subject.

The Skeptical Sublime: Aesthetic Ideology in Pope and the Tory Satirists
ISBN: 9780195142457 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book argues that philosophical skepticism helps define the aesthetic experience of the sublime in late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century British literature, especially the poetry of Alexander Pope. Skeptical doubt appears in the period as an astonishing force in discourse that cannot be controlled--"doubt's boundless Sea," in Rochester's words--and as such is consistently seen as affiliated with the sublime, itself emerging as an important way to conceive of excessive power in rhetoric, nature, psychology, religion, and politics. This view of skepticism as a force affecting discourse...
