Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2019The 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.

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 2024Borrowed objects and the art of poetry
Spolia in Old English verse
by Denis Ferhatovic
This study examines Exeter riddles, Anglo-Saxon biblical poems (Exodus, Andreas, Judith) and Beowulf in order to uncover the poetics of spolia, an imaginative use of recycled fictional artefacts to create sites of metatextual reflection. Old English poetry famously lacks an explicit ars poetica. This book argues that attention to particularly charged moments within texts - especially those concerned with translation, transformation and the layering of various pasts - yields a previously unrecognised means for theorising Anglo-Saxon poetic creativity. Borrowed objects and the art of poetry works at the intersections of materiality and poetics, balancing insights from thing theory and related approaches with close readings of passages from Old English texts.

Literature & Literary StudiesNovember 2024Geoffrey Hill and the ends of poetry
by Tom Docherty
The idea of the end is an essential motivic force in the poetry of Geoffrey Hill (1932-2016). This book shows that Hill's poems are characteristically 'end-directed'. They tend towards consummations of all kinds: from the marriages of meanings in puns, or of words in repeating figures and rhymes, to syntactical and formal finalities. The recognition of failure to reach such ends provides its own impetus to Hill's poetry. This is the first book on Hill to take account of his last works. It is a significant contribution to the study of Hill's poems, offering a new thematic reading of his entire body of work. By using Hill's work as an example, the book also touches on questions of poetry's ultimate value: what are its ends and where does it wish to end up?

April 2009Verse auf Leben und Tod
Roman
by Amos Oz, Mirjam Pressler
Tel Aviv, ein stickiger Sommerabend: Ein bekannter Schriftsteller ist zu einer Lesung eingeladen. Was werden seine Leser, was wird sein Publikum ihn fragen? Das Übliche? Warum schreiben Sie? Sind Ihre Bücher autobiographisch? Was wollten Sie uns mit Ihrem letzten Roman sagen? Was wird er antworten? Das Übliche? Oder wird er sich den Erwartungen widersetzen? Amos Oz erzählt in seinem neuen Roman von einem bekannten Schriftsteller an einem stickigen Sommerabend in Tel Aviv, von der Liebesnacht danach, von den Menschen, die ihm begegnen, bis die Geschichten, die sie alle haben oder haben könnten, sich entfalten und miteinander verknüpfen, bis das, was sich ereignet, und das, was sich hätte ereignen können, ununterscheidbar werden. Verse auf Leben und Tod ist die unkonventionelle Antwort des großen Erzählers Amos Oz auf die Frage nach dem subversiven Wechselspiel von Leben und Literatur.
