Japanese Forms in American Poetry

New Directions in Religion and Literature

"In the 19th century, an era that saw a reconfiguration of the relationship between the self, the world and the divine, women writers probed the theological depths of embodied faith in new ways through poetry, fictional, devotional prose and life writing. Elizabeth Ludlow explores how eight writers (Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Josephine Butler, George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell, Dora Greenwell, Felicia Hemans, Adelaide Anne Proctor and Christina Rossetti) articulated what it means to pray, and thereby understand one's place in a world of individual and communal bodies"--

In the 19th century, an era that saw a reconfiguration of the relationship between the self, the world and the divine, women writers probed the theological depths of embodied faith in new ways through poetry, fiction, devotional prose and life writing. Elizabeth Ludlow explores how, through this process, they articulated what it means to pray, and thereby understand one’s place in a world of individual and communal bodies. The eight women writers discussed – Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Josephine Butler, George Eliot, Elizabeth Gaskell, Dora Greenwell, Felicia Hemans, Adelaide Procter and Christina Rossetti – provide accounts of prayer that stress that the only way to experience and respond to something of the transcendent is through embracing lived experience and through a recognition of the connectedness of all bodies. In detailing how these writers engage with new ways of thinking about faith, desire and the material world, Ludlow argues that they offer models for ethical modes of being in the world and pave the way for later theologies of embodiment.

The first full-length study of the poet, artist and activist Anna Mendelssohn (1948-2009), this book consolidates Mendelssohn’s reputation as one of the most important avant-garde British poets of her generation and explores her contribution to the powerful tradition of women writing enclosure and escape. Mendelssohn was herself incarcerated in Holloway women’s prison between 1971-76, and her bold and inventive poetry foregrounds and subverts, but does not triumphantly overcome, conditions of constraint. Informed by extensive original archival research, this book reads her highly experimental lyric alongside the poetry of her forerunners and contemporaries, including Nancy Cunard, Muriel Rukeyser and Denise Riley, restoring to view a lost network of radical, Jewish and feminist modernism. With chapters on the poetry of the Spanish Civil War, the legacy of the Holocaust, the Women’s Liberation Movement, the transformation of HMP Holloway in the 1970s and prison abolitionism, Incarceration in the Poetry of Anna Mendelssohn illuminates the historical, political and literary contexts that shape this work and argues that Mendelssohn advances a poetics not of emancipation, but of abolition.

The New Arcadia, Second Revised Edition

Sir Philip Sidney: the Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia

"This companionable anthology shows how poetry is a discussion, alive and flowing, and how poems speak to, with, and sometimes over one another. If you are a teacher, this is the anthology you wish you had as a student - a text that doesn't try to survey entire time periods or aesthetic areas, but one that places side-by-side poems that speak to each other over time as well as to today's readers. Header notes for each section provide critical commentary and guidance, with discussion and writing suggestions, framing the poems within their given topic and enticing readers"--

You have picked up this book because you are a poetry reader. Or you are about to be one. Because as soon as you read a poem, that’s what you are. Filled with the profound, the lyrical, the consoling, and the curious, The Poetry Reader: An Anthology is the book you would hope to find if you washed up alone on a deserted island: this companionable collection shows how poetry itself is a discussion, alive and flowing, and how poems speak to, with, and sometimes over one another. If you are a teacher, this is the anthology you wish you had as a student – a text that doesn’t try to survey entire time periods or aesthetic areas, but one that places side-by-side carefully selected poems that speak to each other over time as well as to today’s readers. - Section header notes provide critical commentary, framing the poems within their given topic - Discussion and writing suggestions give interesting and actionable prompts - Works as a standalone book, or can easily be used alongside Poetry: A Survivor's Guide, 2nd ed. Drawing on traditional poems and contemporary works, this anthology offers globe-spanning, stylistically diverse poetry, ranging from canonical poems by the likes of Sappho and Shakespeare to those of new voices such as Layli Long Soldier and Mukoma wa Ngugi. As a compact, eclectic, and approachable collection based on specific aspects of poetry and poetic practices – from identity and metaphor to sublimation and spirituality – The Poetry Reader acts as a guide to understanding the essentials of both reading and writing poetry.

An Ecocritical Reading of Andrea Zanzotto's Poetry

Ancient Environments

"Ovid's Metamorphoses offers a compelling site for reconsidering the category of the human within the complex ecologies that make up the world as we know it. The poem's recurrent theme is the physical transformation of humans into other life forms, a theme that invites readers to consider how human and non-human agencies have evolved from and adapted to one another in a relationship characterized by fluctuating perceptions of friction and symbiosis, distance and proximity. This volume of essays traces the variety of ways in which the world of the Metamorphoses offers a set of structures for modelling the relationship between humans and other agencies within the biosphere in ways that answer to many of the precepts of contemporary eco-criticism. The contributors make the case for seeing the worldview depicted in this ancient text as an exemplar of the 'premodern' ecological mindset that contemporary environmental thought seeks to approximate in many ways. Their papers also scrutinize a number of critical moments in the history of the text's ecological reception (including reflections by a contemporary poet, as well as studies of important Medieval and Renaissance receptions of Ovid) in an attempt to recuperate the Metamorphoses as a foundational text in the history of environmental thought"--

This book positions Ovid’s Metamorphoses as a foundational text in the western history of environmental thought. The poem is about new bodies. Stones, springs, plants and animals materialize out of human origins to create a world of hybrid objects, which retain varying degrees of human subjectivity while taking on new physical form. In bending the boundaries of known categories of being, these hybrid entities reveal both the porousness of human and other agencies as well as the dangers released by their fusion. Metamorphosis unsettles the category of the human within the complex ecologies that make up the world as we know it.

Drawing on a range of modern environmental theorists and approaches, the contributors to this volume trace how the Metamorphoses models the relationship between humans and other life forms in ways that resonate with the preoccupations of contemporary eco-criticism. They make the case for seeing the worldview depicted in Ovid’s poem as an exemplar of the ‘premodern’ ecological mindset that contemporary environmental thought seeks to approximate. They also highlight critical moments in the history of the poem’s ecological reception, including reflections by a contemporary poet, as well as studies of Medieval and Renaissance responses to Ovid.

Ovid's Metamorphoses and the Environmental Imagination

"In this book, Arthur Bahr takes a fresh look at a much-studied, unique object in English literature: the four poems and many illustrations contained in the so-called "Pearl-Manuscript" (British Library MS Cotton Nero A.x/2). These poems have been the subject of much scholarship, especially Pearl and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, two of the most well-known and -read poems from the English Middle Ages. Here Bahr attempts the first analysis of the poems and material object together. He explores how the physical manuscript itself--its composition and compilation, its intersecting aesthetic effects across linguistic and visual lines--enhances our perception of the poetry. Bahr reads Pearl, Cleanness, Patience, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight through the lens of their unique, material incarnation in this singular object, taking advantage of recent technological advances (e.g., spectroscopic analysis and digital facsimiles) to show the Pearl-Manuscript to be a more complex piece of material, visual, and textual art than previous scholarship has allowed. Combining technology, literary close reading, and visual analysis, he connects the manuscript's material construction to the intricately wrought shapes, themes, and textual beauties evoked in the poetry to suggest new ways to understand what the poems are and do"--
