Byron's Heroes Like The Poet
4,205 wordsPre-romanticism Another trend in the English literature of the second half of the 18th century was the so-called pre-romanticism. It originated among the conservative groups of men of letters' as a reaction against Enlightenment. The mysterious element plays a great role in the works of pre-romanticists. One of pre-romanticists was William Blake (1757-1827), who in spite of his mysticism, wrote poems full of human feelings and sympathy for the oppressed people. Blake's effectiveness comes from t...

Poems Mr Merwin
4,310 wordsHelen Vender "Desolation Shading Into Terror" Review of The Miner's Pale Children: A Book of Prose and The Carrier of Ladders: A Book of Poems These books invoke by their subtitles the false distinction between prose and poetry: the real distinction is between prose and verse, since both are books of poems, with distinct resemblances and a few differences. There are more allegories, parables, and fables in the 80-odd pieces that make up the book of prose, but that only makes for more narrative a...

Along with brief remarks on the poetry of Lorine Niedecker, included here, she also comments on poetry by John Whiners, Bernadette Mayer and Fannie Howe.] There is in Western literary tradition a significant sub-genre of the lyric, the ode (from the Greek aei dein, to sing, chant). And as...

Otto Orban
786 wordsOtto Orban Otto Orban, who has died aged 66, was the leading Hungarian poet of his generation, but his influence extended well beyond the confines of literary and academic institutions. His passionate, funny and virtuosic poems combined the fully personal with the overtly political, and his barbed verses on Hungarian government pretensions were a source of irritation to those in power. They were, in effect, a kind of brilliant, vicious, Swift ian graffiti. Born in Budapest, Orban's earliest expe...

Christian Notions Of Sin
621 wordsOne of the characteristics of medieval English literature is its high allegorist. It also applies to the whole European literature of Dark Ages, as well. This is because Christian dogma could not satisfy peoples spiritual needs any longer, being unable to correspond to the realities of their everyday lives. It is not a secret that Church used to resist any attempts to translate Bible from Latin into contemporary European languages, as it posed the danger of people being able to learn about nonse...

Bradstreets Poems
856 wordsIt is important as well as very crucial to compare Bradstreets works and doings to those of another female poet who received high recognition and fame in the literature world as well, Frances Osgood. On the one hand, this poets task of defending women's rights was much easier than the responsibility that was put on Bradstreet many years ago. On the other side, no significant improvement could be observed in the general state of feminist ic movement since 1600-s to the mid-nineteenth century. Tha...

Rimbaud And Jim Morrison
6,946 wordsMetamorphose. An object is cut off from its name, habits, associations. Detached, it becomes only the thing, in and of itself. When this disintegration into pure existence is at last achieved, the object is free to become endlessly anything". Jim Morrison, from The Lords PART I The Sex Revolts (Harvard University Press, 1995), Reynolds' and Press' exciting book which looks at rock rebellion from the perspective of gender revolution, characterizes THE DOORS' creativity (1965-71) in terms of a "ph...

Attitude Of Ovid's Time
1,938 wordsNot exactly considered a "serious" poet or author, Publius O vidius Naso, or Ovid as he is more commonly called, captured the spirit of Greek and Roman mythology in his most noted work The Metamorphoses. The stories told in this work are commonly thought of as not serious enough for adults. Therefore, many of these stories have been "dumbed down" and transposed into child book form. Though most of these stories are very serious, many do not see them as sophisticated literature. True as this is, ...

American Named John Wheatley
677 wordsPhillis Wheatley wasn't your typical American poet. She was born on the west coast of Africa and sold into slavery at the age of seven. She was abducted and bought by an American named John Wheatley. Right away Mr. Wheatley recognized the child's' preciousness and raised "her with an education that included Latin writers, Scripture, and English Literature" (Cushman: 74). Mr. Wheatley raised her as his own daughter and treated her as if she were not a slave. At the young age of twenty she became ...

Second Part Of The Poem
746 wordsI realize the true meaning of The Second Coming may actually be societal and not anything religious at all. But maybe that's what a symbolist poet tries to do, write a poem that allows the reader to take their own meaning from it. I'm not really sure, but I would like to think so... especially if I am way off base with my interpretation. I got the feeling that the author might have been trying to focus on the latter part of my explanation regarding the second coming... the part when the devil is...
