Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning
Author: Mary Sanders PollockPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317201493
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
First published in 2003, this book examines the creative partnership of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning, and provides a critical analysis of the poems written by this famous couple during the 16 year period of their friendship, courtship and marriage. Even quite early in their relationship, the Brownings shared a frame of reference: similar themes, narrative structures, and details of phrasing resonate in their works and suggest dialogue, rather than merely mutual influence. Pollock traces parallels between the Brownings' lives and works even before they met, and then throughout their courtship and married life, suggesting that their creative dialogue continued after Barrett Browning died in 1861, as her presence and themes continued to inform Browning's poetry for at least a decade afterward.

Author: Maureen MoranPublisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1781386293
Category : Literary Criticism

Pages : 332
Book Description
Catholic Sensationalism and Victorian Literature offers a highly original examination of Victorian sensationalism through the exploration of popular literary representations of Roman Catholicism, that exotic, corrupt religious Other which is inscribed as the implacable anti-English enemy. The book demonstrates how new understandings of cultural tensions of the period are gained through the association of Roman Catholicism with secular fears of crime, sex and violence, rather than with theological ‘excesses’ and doctrinal ‘superstitions’.

The Reason in a Storm
Author: Geoffrey Bernard WilliamsPublisher: University Press of America
ISBN: 9780819182715
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
This book shows that T.S. Eliot, working in the romantic tradition, deliberately uses ambiguity in language to manifest the realm of ultimate reality. He maintains this technique first to create moments of unmediated experience in his early poetry and, in his later poetry, to express the transcendent in time. No other study has explicitly dealt with Eliot's use of ambiguity and its significance in relating Eliot to romanticism and postmodern practices of deconstruction. In this study, Eliot is shown to be a significant link, overlooked until now, between tradition and the contemporary fracturing of tradition.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
When it comes to analyzing today's culture, people talk about politics, economics, and even morals. Like a Pelting Rain: The Making of the Modern Mind goes deeper and looks at the spiritual condition of Western civilization. How we arrived at where we are is the long and complex interplay of theology and culture. Understanding the trends of the times does not necessitate accepting them. God calls upon Christians to contend for the faith. The Holy Spirit is still at work, and the Gospel remains the power of God for the salvation of all who believe!
Experience and Faith
Author: R. BrantleyPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137122099
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
Emily Dickinson (1830-86) recasts British-Romantic themes of natural and spiritual perception for an American audience. Her poems of science and technology reflect her faith in experience. Her lyrics about natural history build on this empiricism and develop her commitment to natural religion. Her poems of revealed religion constitute her experience of faith. Thus Dickinson stands on the experiential common ground between empiricism and evangelicalism in Romantic Anglo-America. Her double perspective parallels the implicit androgyny of her nineteenth-century feminism. Her counterintuitive combination of natural models with spiritual metaphors champions immortality. The experience/faith dialectic of her Late-Romantic imagination forms the heart of her legacy.
