The Slaying of Meghanada: A Ramayana from Colonial Bengal
ISBN: 9780195167993 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "The poem is rising into splendid popularity. Some say it is better than Milton-but that is all bosh-nothing can be better than Milton; many say it licks Kalidasa; I have no objection to that. I don't think it impossible to equal Virgil, Kalidasa, and Tasso." Michael Madhusudan Datta wrote this in a letter to a friend about his verse narrative, The Slaying of Meghanada (1861). The epic, a Bengali version of the Ramayana story in which Ravana, not Rama, is the hero, has become a classic of Indian literature. Datta lived in Bengal at the height of what is frequently called the...

Beautiful Enemies
ISBN: 9780195181005 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although it has long been commonplace to imagine the archetypal American poet singing a solitary "Song of Myself," much of the most enduring American poetry has actually been preoccupied with the drama of friendship. In this lucid and absorbing study, Andrew Epstein argues that an obsession with both the pleasures and problems of friendship erupts in the "New American Poetry" that emerges after the Second World War. By focusing on some of the most significant postmodernist American poets--the "New York School" poets John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, and their close contemporary Amiri...

Gemstone of Paradise: The Holy Grail in Wolfram's Parzival
ISBN: 9780195306392 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The story of the Holy Grail has gripped the imaginations of millions since it first appeared in medieval romances, among them Wolfram von Eschenbach's Middle High German Parzival (c. 1210). Strangely, the Grail is identified in Parzival not as a cup or dish, but as a stone. This oddity is usually interpreted merely as further evidence of the difficulty of discerning the true sources of the Grail legend.
G. Ronald Murphy seeks to illuminate this mystery and to enable a far better appreciation of Wolfram's insight into the nature of the Grail and its relationship to the...

An Ornament for Jewels: Love Poems for the Lord of Gods, by Vedantadesika
ISBN: 9780195326390 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this companion volume to Singing the Body of God (Oxford 2002), Steven P. Hopkins has translated into contemporary American English verse poems written by the South Indian Srivaisnava philosopher and saint-poet Venkatesa (c. 1268-1369).

They encompass major themes of Venkatesa's devotional poetics, from the play of divine absence and presence in the world...

The Poetry of Sappho
ISBN: 9780195326710 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Today, thousands of years after her birth, in lands remote from her native island of Lesbos and in languages that did not exist when she wrote her poetry in Aeolic Greek, Sappho remains an important name among lovers of poetry and poets alike, . Celebrated throughout antiquity as the supreme Greek poet of love and of the personal lyric, noted especially for her limpid fusion of formal poise, lucid insight, and incandescent passion, today her poetry is also prized for its uniquely vivid participation in a living paganism. Collected in an edition of nine scrolls by scholars in the second...

Paradise Lost and the Romantic Reader
ISBN: 9780198112778 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Was Milton on the side of the angels or the devils? Was he republican or anti-republican, feminist or misogynist? Did he value innocence or experience? This book shows how the Romantic reader responded, in complex and often paradoxical ways, to multiple ambiguities inherent in the very language of Paradise Lost. It examines ambivalent allusions to Satan and God, in responses to the French Revolution (Coleridge and Wordsworth), in studies of the origin of evil (Godwin, Blake, the Shelleys), in accounts of the creative imagination, and it looks at how Eve pervades representations of female...

Poets in Their Time: Essays on English Poetry from Donne to Larkin
ISBN: 9780198112815 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Widely regarded as one of England's most sensitive readers of poetry, Barbara Everett here examines the poetry of Donne, Milton, Marvell, Rochester, Pope, Keats, Browning, Eliot, Auden, and Philip Larkin. The implicit argument of these essays is designed to show the way each poet remains an individual--idiosyncratic, odd, rich--while interacting with the conditions of a particular historical context. To this difficult task Everett brings an extraordinary ability to read closely and an intimate knowledge of the period.

Constructive Vision and Visionary Deconstruction: Los, Eternity, and the Productions of Time in the Later Poetry of William Blake
ISBN: 9780198117513 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Focusing on the tension in Blake's poetry between doubt and belief, this book offers a new account of the way Blake's major prophecies work and of the strategies they employ. Offering a radically new reading of Milton and Jerusalem, Otto argues that the autonomous, world-forming imagination is subject to visionary deconstruction. He demonstrates that rather than subordinating existence to perception, the poems attempt to induce their readers to action.

Motives of Woe: Shakespeare and Female Complaint, a Critical Anthology
ISBN: 9780198117704 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.
