        The art of The Faerie Queene

        by J. B. Lethbridge, Richard Brown

        The Art of The Faerie Queene is the first book centrally focused on the forms and poetic techniques employed by Spenser. It offers a sharp new perspective on Spenser by rereading The Faerie Queene as poetry which is at once absorbing, demanding and experimental. Instead of the traditional conservative model of Spenser as poet, this book presents the poem as radical, edgy and unconventional, thus proposing new ways of understanding the Elizabethan poetic Renaissance. The book moves from the individual words of the poem to metre, rhyme and stanza form onto its larger structures of canto and book. It will be of particular relevance to undergraduates studying Elizabethan poetry, graduate students and scholars of Renaissance poetry, for whom the formal aspect of the poetry has been a topic of growing relevance in recent years.

        Language and imagination in the Gawain poems

        by J. Anderson

        This major new literary study offers a fresh view of the significance of the famous group of fourteenth-century poems, 'Pearl', 'Cleanness', 'Patience' and 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight'. It is a comprehensive study which puts the poems themselves firmly at its centre, though it is always alert to relevant aspects of their literary and cultural context. John Anderson builds his discussions of the poems' ideas on an examination of the anonymous poet's superb Shakespeare-like language. He finds that the great fourteenth-century struggle, between religious and secular forces for control of men's minds, underlies all the poems. This title is the first in the new Manchester Medieval Literature series, which makes readability a priority. Accordingly, despite its wide range of reference and the radicalism of some of its leading ideas, this book is written in a jargon-free style designed to appeal to specialist, non-specialist and student readers alike.

        The poems of Elizabeth Siddal in context

        by Anne Woolley

        A ground breaking new book that considers all Siddal poems with reference to female and primarily male counterparts, adding substantially to knowledge of her work as a writer, and their shared contemporary concerns. Dante Rossetti, Swinburne, Tennyson, Ruskin and Keats were either known to her or a source of influence on the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood with which she was associated, and certain of their texts are compared with hers to discuss interplay between erotic and spiritual love, the ballad tradition, nineteenth-century feminism, and the Romantic concept of the conjoined physical and spectral body. Siddal's artwork is used to introduce each chapter, while other Pre-Raphaelite paintings illuminate the texts and further the inter-disciplinary philosophy of the Brotherhood. This important and stimulating book focuses on the intrinsic merit of Siddal's poetics whilst advocating a research method that could have multiple applications elsewhere.

        Sonette aus dem Portugiesischen

        by Elizabeth Barrett-Browning

        Elizabeth Barrett wurde am 6. März 1806 in Durham / England geboren. Sie genoß eine privilegierte Kindheit und war äußerst belesen, v.a. in antiker Literatur. Im Alter von zwölf Jahren verfaßte sie ihr erstes episches Gedicht. 1826 wurde ihr erstes Werk – anonym – veröffentlicht, An Essay on Mind and Other Poems. 1844 lernte sie den um sechs Jahre jüngeren Dichter Robert Browning kennen, den sie gegen den Willen ihres Vaters heiratete. 1846 floh das Paar nach Italien und lebte von da an in Florenz. 1850 wurde Sonnets from the Portuguese veröffentlicht, eine der bekanntesten Sammlungen von Liebesgedichten in englischer Sprache. In ihren späteren Werken verarbeitete sie auch politische und soziale Themen, wie beispielsweise die männliche Dominanz über Frauen in ihrem Versepos Aurora Leigh (1857). Elizabeth Barrett Browning starb am 29. Juni 1861 in Florenz.

        Shakespeares Schwestern

        Wie Frauen die Renaissance schrieben

        by Ramie Targoff, Michael Bischoff

        In einer Zeit, als Frauen rechtlich das Eigentum von Männern waren, schrieben vier erstaunliche Frauen Weltliteratur. Ramie Targoff bietet die lange überfällige weibliche Perspektive auf die Shakespeare>zeit und zeigt uns so die Renaissance in neuem Licht. Elizabeth Cary bringt sich schon als Jugendliche mehrere Sprachen selbst bei und sorgt als Zehnjährige bei einem Hexenprozess für den Freispruch der Angeklagten; ihr Drama The Tragedy of Mariam ist das erste von einer Frau verfasste Drama, das in England aufgeführt wird. Aemilia Lanyer schreibt eine flammende Darstellung der Passion Jesu aus feministischer Perspektive, ihre Gedichte werden jedoch nicht unter ihrem Namen, sondern posthum als The Poems of Shakespeare’s Dark Lady veröffentlicht. Mary Sidney, zunächst Hoffräulein von Königin Elisabeth, wird mit 15 an den 23 Jahren älteren Earl of Pembroke verheiratet und damit Herrin über einen der größten Landsitze Englands. Nach dem Tod ihres geliebten Bruders, eines anerkannten Autors, findet sie in ihrem Engagement für dessen Werke zu ihrer eigenen Stimme als Dichterin. Sie veröffentlicht ihre einflussreichen Übersetzungen, ein Drama und wunderschöne Gedichte als erste Engländerin unter ihrem eigenen Namen. Anne Clifford, die erste englischsprachige Diaristin und Autobiografin, prozessiert jahrzehntelang gegen ihren Vater, der seine Ländereien und Besitzungen nicht an sie, das einzige Kind, sondern an seinen Bruder vermacht hat – und gewinnt.

        A Vision of Battlements

        by Anthony Burgess

        by Andrew Biswell, Paul Wake

        A Vision of Battlements is the first novel by the writer and composer Anthony Burgess, who was born in Manchester in 1917. Set in Gibraltar during the Second World War, the book follows the fortunes of Richard Ennis, an army sergeant and incipient composer who dreams of composing great music and building a new cultural world after the end of the war. Following the example of his literary hero, James Joyce, Burgess takes the structure of his book from Virgil's Aeneid. The result is, like Joyce's Ulysses, a comic rewriting of a classical epic, whose critique of the Army and the postwar settlement is sharp and assured. The Irwell Edition is the first publication of Burgess's forgotten masterpiece since 1965. This new edition includes an introduction and notes by Andrew Biswell, author of a prize-winning biography of Anthony Burgess.
