Abstract

Kay’s poems draw on her own life and the lives of others to make a tapestry of voice and communal understanding. The title of her acclaimed short story collection, Why Don’t You Stop Talking, could be a comment on her own poems, their urgency of voice and their recognition of the urgency in all voice, particularly the need to be heard, to have voice. And what voice – the voices of the everyday, the voices of jazz, the voices of this many-voiced United Kingdom.

Abstract

On reconnaît en général dans l'oeuvre puissante de Geoffrey Hill (né en 1932) "l'une des plus hautes voix de la poésie anglaise contemporaine" (Patrick Kéchichian). G. Hill s'efforce de rendre à la poésie une légitimité publique après les dévoiements du langage et les immenses tragédies dont s'est montré capable le XXe siècle européen. La poésie de Geoffrey Hill et la modernité est le premier ensemble critique, international, à lui être consacré en français.

Abstract

Kerry McSweeney critiques such readings of Romantic, Victorian, and 19th-century American poems. In What's the Import? he proposes and exemplifies an aesthetic or intrinsic critical model rooted in literary-historical contextualization that considers the determination of meanings to be only one of the qualities that full engagement with a poem requires. His wide-ranging study discusses poems by Wordsworth, Keats, Tennyson, Browning, Whitman, Dickinson, Carroll, Dante and Christina Rossetti, Swinburne, Hopkins, Hardy, and the Michael Field poets. What's the Import? contributes to the current debates in North America about the state and direction of English studies and the teaching of literature in general.

Abstract

Thirty-seven chapters, written by leading literary critics from across the world, describe the latest thinking about twentieth-century war poetry. The book maps both the uniqueness of each war and the continuities between poets of different wars, while the interconnections between the literatures of war and peacetime, and between combatant and civilian poets, are fully considered. The focus is on Britain and Ireland, but links are drawn with the poetry of the United States and continental Europe. The Oxford Handbook feeds a growing interest in war poetry and offers, in toto , a definitive survey of the terrain. It is intended for a broad audience, made up of specialists and also graduates and undergraduates, and is an essential resource for both scholars of particular poets and for those interested in wider debates about modern poetry. This scholarly and readable assessment of the field will provide an important point of reference for decades to come.

Abstract

“In the earliest versions [of the Loathly Lady tales], the Irish sovereignty hag tales, her excessive body allegorizes the nature of sovereignty; the Loathly Lady is the shape of success in power contestation. Because the vehicle of the allegory is gendered, however, and because the motif’s fictional flesh is sexually active, these ideas about control are entangled with personal power politics. These factors make the motif curiously promiscuous, an intersection of ideas that generates other ideas, sometimes unexpectedly, always provocatively. . . . “ This volume concentrates on the medieval English Loathly Lady tales, written a little later than the Irish tales, and developing the motif as a vehicle for social ideology. Geoffrey Chaucer’s “Wife of Bath’s Tale” and John Gower’s “Tale of Florent” are the better known of the English Loathly Lady tales, but “The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle,” the balladic versions—the “Marriage of Sir Gawain” and “King Henry” (and even “Thomas of Erceldoune”)—all use shape-shifting female flesh to convey ideas about the nature of women, about heretosexual relations, and about national identity.”—from the Introduction
