Book Description
"Then Hêra, when she heard what Earth had given, Smiled for her joy, and longed and came to see: On dove wings flying from the height of heaven, Down to the golden tree: As tired birds at even Come flying straight to house On their accustomed boughs. 'Twas where, on tortured hands, Bearing the mighty pole. Devoted Atlas stands: And round his bowed head roll, Day-light and night, and stars unmingled dance, Nor can he raise his glance..." 'The Poetical Works of Robert Bridges, Excluding the Eight Dramas' is a collection of poems inspired by the tales of Greek mythology. It includes such well-known characters such as Demeter, Eros and Psyche, and Prometheus, among others.

The Alcaic Metre in the English Imagination
Author: John Talbot
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350232513
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
This book reveals how a remarkable ancient Greek and Latin poetic form -- the alcaic metre -- found its way into English poetry, and continues shaping the imagination of poets today. English poets have always admired the extraordinary beauty and intricacy of the alcaic stanza (Tennyson called it 'the grandest of all measures') and their inventive responses to the ancient alcaic have generated remarkable innovations in the rhythms, sounds and shapes of modern poetry. This is the first book-length study of this neglected strand of English literary history and classical reception. Attending closely to the rhythm and texture of their verses, John Talbot reveals surprising connections between English poets across five centuries, among them Mary Shelley, Milton, Marvell, Tennyson, Edward FitzGerald, Wilfred Owen, W. H. Auden and Donald Hall. He gives special attention to a flourishing of English alcaics during the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and what it suggests about the changing place of classics and poetic form in contemporary culture.

Romantic Echoes in the Victorian Era
Author: Andrew Radford
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351902474
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
In tracing those deliberate and accidental Romantic echoes that reverberate through the Victorian age into the beginning of the twentieth century, this collection acknowledges that the Victorians decided for themselves how to define what is 'Romantic'. The essays explore the extent to which Victorianism can be distinguished from its Romantic precursors, or whether it is possible to conceive of Romanticism without the influence of these Victorian definitions. Romantic Echoes in the Victorian Era reassesses Romantic literature's immediate cultural and literary legacy in the late nineteenth century, showing how the Victorian writings of Matthew Arnold, Wilkie Collins, the Brontës, the Brownings, Elizabeth Gaskell, Charles Dickens, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Thomas Hardy, and the Rossettis were instrumental in shaping Romanticism as a cultural phenomenon. Many of these Victorian writers found in the biographical, literary, and historical models of Chatterton, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, Keats, and Wordsworth touchstones for reappraising their own creative potential and artistic identity. Whether the Victorians affirmed or revolted against the Romanticism of their early years, their attitudes towards Romantic values enriched and intensified the personal, creative, and social dilemmas described in their art. Taken together, the essays in this collection reflect on current critical dialogues about literary periodisation and contribute to our understanding of how these contemporary debates stem from Romanticism's inception in the Victorian age.
