The Sublime
This volume offers readers a unique and comprehensive overview of different theoretical and interdisciplinary perspectives on 'the sublime'.
Maurice Scève Poet of Love
A study of Maurice Scève's sequence of love poems, the Délie - the first French canzoniere. There are two main themes: Scève's rendering of the intensity and complexity of the human experience of love, and secondly, his exploitation of the European tradition of love poetry. Dr Coleman tackles broad issues concerning appreciation of poetry, and more particularly, difficult poetry. Comparing individual poems by Horace, Scève and Mallarmé, she pinpoints the task of a serious reader: to experience sensitively and intellectually human emotions couched in artistic form. The book does not offer doctrines about Scève's love. instead, it looks at the contextual linguistic formulae which create love within the poems themselves: the allusiveness, the intellectual rigour, the tautness, the juxtaposition of words, combine with the voluptuousness and simplicity of the images, rhythm and sound, to make out of the poems a timeless an intensely personal experience.
Modern and Contemporary Swiss Poetry
A selection of the work of Switzerland's greatest poets of the twentieth century and their contemporary counterparts, translated from the country's major languages -- French, Italian, Rhaeto-Romanic, and German.
Questioning Racinian Tragedy
Noting significant differences between the individual tragedies of Racine and the many current notions of what "Racinian tragedy" is deemed to imply, John Campbell explores the identity and meaning of the modern "Racine." He asks if any one critical parad
The Senses of Modernism
In The Senses of Modernism, Sara Danius develops a radically new theoretical and historical understanding of high modernism. The author analyses works by Mann, Proust and Joyce as narratives of the sweeping changes that affected high and low culture.
Cosmos and Image in the Renaissance
Renaissance images could be real as well as linguistic. Human beings were often believed to be an image of the cosmos, and the sun an image of God. Kathryn Banks explores the implications of this for poetic language and argues that linguistic images were a powerful tool for rethinking cosmic conceptions. She reassesses the role of natural-philosophical poetry in France, focusing upon its most well-known and widely-read exponent, Guillaume de Saluste Du Bartas.Through a sustained analysis of Maurice Sceve's Delie , Banks also rethinks love lyric's oft-noted use of the beloved as image of the poet. Cosmos and Image makes an original contribution to our understanding of Renaissance thinking about the cosmic, the human, and the divine. It also proposes a mode of reading other Renaissance texts, and reflects at length upon the relation of 'literature' to history, to the history of science, and to political turmoil.
Observations on the Letter of Monsieur Mariette
An impassioned plea for a Roman-Style eclecticism that draws freely on all artistic forms and traditions, Piranesi's Observations anticipates the contemporary debate between devotees of a rational, minimal architecture and advocates of an architecture rich in ornament and historical references."--BOOK JACKET.

Die fünfundsiebzig Blätter
Die hier erstmals übersetzten fünfundsiebzig handschriftlichen Bögen von Marcel Proust sind die Keimzelle seines siebenbändigen Romanwerks Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit (À la recherche du temps perdu). Man wusste, dass es sie gibt, aber sie waren verschollen. 2018 im Nachlass des Proust-Forschers und Verlegers Bernard de Fallois endlich gefunden, erschienen sie 2021 bei Gallimard: eine Sensation. Wir begegnen vielen aus der Lektüre der Recherche bekannten Figuren und Szenen, hier noch belassen in der Ursprünglichkeit früher Erinnerung: an die geliebte Mutter, das Kindheitsdrama des Zubettgehens, die jungen Mädchen am Strand. Proust ist erkennbar noch auf der Suche: nach den...
