The Poems of W. B. Yeats Volume Two: 1890-1898

The Poems of W. B. Yeats Volume Two: 1890-1898

In this multi-volume edition the poetry of W. B. Yeats (1865–1939) is presented in full with newly-established texts and detailed wide-ranging commentary. Yeats began to write verse in the nineteenth century and over time his own arrangements of poems repeatedly revised and rearranged both texts and canon. This edition of Yeats’s poetry presents all his verse both published and unpublished including a generous selection of textual variants from the many manuscript and printed sources. The edition also supplies the most extensive commentary on Yeats’s poetry to date explaining specific references and setting poems in their contexts; it also gives an account of the vast range of both literary and historical influences at work on the verse. The poems are presented in order of composition and major revisions or rewritings of poems result in separate inclusions (in chronological sequence) for these writings as they were subsequently reconceived by the poet. In this second volume the poems of Yeats’s early maturity emerge in the contexts of his engagement with Irish history and myth along with nationalist politics; his increasing involvement with ritual magic and esoteric lore; and his turbulent often unhappy personal life. The poems of The Countess Kathleen and Various Legends and Lyrics (1892) reveal a poet of intense narrative power and metaphorical resource adept at transforming miscellaneous sources into haunting and original poems. A major revision of his earlier narrative ‘The Wanderings of Oisin’ takes place in this decade when Yeats is also taken up with the composition of elaborate and uncanny symbolic lyrics many of them resulting from his love for Maud Gonne that are finally collected in The Wind Among the Reeds (1899). This edition makes it possible to trace in detail Yeats’s debts to folklore and magic alongside his involved and often difficult private and public life in poetry of exceptional complexity and power. | The Poems of W.

Arabic and Hebrew Love Poems in Al-Andalus

Arabic and Hebrew Love Poems in Al-Andalus

Arabic and Hebrew Love Poems in al-Andalus investigates a largely overlooked subset of Muslim and Jewish love poetry in medieval Spain: hetero- and homo-erotic love poems written by Muslim and Jewish religious scholars in which the lover and his sensual experience of the beloved are compared to scriptural characters and storylines. This book examines the ways in which the scriptural referents fit in with or differ from the traditional Andalusian poetic conventions. The study then proceeds to compare the scriptural stories and characters as presented in the poems with their scriptural and exegetical sources. This new intertextual analysis reveals that the Jewish and Muslim scholar-poets utilized their sacred literature in their poems of desire as more than poetic ornamentation; in employing Qur’ānic heroes in their secular verses the Muslim poets presented a justification of profane love and sanctification of erotic human passions. In the Hebrew lust poems which utilize biblical heroes we can detect subtle subversive and surprisingly placed interpretations of biblical accounts. Moving beyond the concern with literary history to challenge the traditional boundaries between secular and religious poetry this book provides a new multidisciplinary approach to existing materials and will be of interest to students scholars and researchers of Islamic and Jewish Studies as well as to those with an interest in Hebrew and Arabic poetry of Islamic Spain.

The Simple Wordsworth Studies in the Poems 1979-1807

The Simple Wordsworth Studies in the Poems 1979-1807

First published in 1960 this book studies Wordsworth’s ‘simple’ poems such as the Lyrical Ballads as products of a sophisticated and powerfully successful literary genius. The author aims to approach the poems as perhaps Wordsworth expected his first readers to; but as they have never been in fact. The result of this approach is to discover a Wordsworth far different to that which he has previously been presented as — the ‘Sage of Rydal’ at one extreme and a naïve perpetrator of poetical blunders at the other — and the author argues a far more exciting one. This book will be of interest to students of literature. | The Simple Wordsworth Studies in the Poems 1979-1807

Poems from Korea From the Earliest Era to the Present

Poems from Korea From the Earliest Era to the Present

The Koreans according to the Chinese chronicles are ‘the people who enjoy singing and dancing’ and who regaled their gods with dance and song. Since then poetry has been an essential part of Korean life and has been regarded as the highest of the arts. In this first comprehensive anthology of Korean poetry in English first published in 1974 Peter Lee has selected and translated a wide variety of poems ranging from the Silla Dynasty in 57 BC to the middle of the twentieth century. The poems chosen reflect not only the native Korean tradition but also the great tradition of Chinese poetry. They often possess a deep lyrical quality many are rich in religious overtones or derive their beauty from contemplation of nature and through many of the poems runs the feeling of the closeness of Korean life to the earth. | Poems from Korea From the Earliest Era to the Present

The Poems of W.B. Yeats Volume Three: 1899-1910

The Poems of W.B. Yeats Volume Three: 1899-1910

In this multi-volume edition the poetry of W. B. Yeats (1865–1939) is presented in full with newly established texts and detailed wide-ranging commentary. Yeats began to write verse in the nineteenth century and over time his own arrangements of poems repeatedly revised and rearranged both texts and canon. This edition of Yeats’s poetry presents all his verse both published and unpublished including a generous selection of textual variants from the many manuscript and printed sources. The edition also supplies the most extensive commentary on Yeats’s poetry to date explaining specific references and setting poems in their contexts; it also gives an account of the vast range of both literary and historical influences at work on the verse. The poems are presented in order of composition and major revisions or rewritings of poems result in separate inclusions (in chronological sequence) for these writings as they were subsequently reconceived by the poet. In this third volume Yeats’s poetry of the first decade of the twentieth century is brought into sharp focus revealing the extent of his efforts to re-fashion a style that had already made him a well-known poet. All of the major modes in Yeats’s earlier work are subject to radical re-imagining in these years from poetic narrative founded in Irish myth in poems such as ‘Baile and Aillinn’ and ‘The Old Age of Queen Maeve’ to the symbolist drama-poetry of The Shadowy Waters here edited in its two (completely different) versions of 1900 and 1906. In a decade when the theatre was one of Yeats’s principal concerns his lyric poems which were becoming increasingly explicit in personal terms began to discover new intensities of conversational pitch and mythic resonance. Poems such as ‘The Folly of Being Comforted’ ‘Adam’s Curse’ ‘No Second Troy’ and ‘The Fascination of What’s Difficult’ are given close attention in this new edition alongside topical and epigrammatic pieces that are often passed over in accounts of Yeats’s development. The evolving complexities of Yeats’s personal and political lives are crucial to his artistic growth in these years and the commentary gives these generous attention showing how the poetry both feeds upon and often transcends the circumstances of its composition. The volume offers strong evidence for this decade as a crucial one in Yeats’s poetic life in which the poet created wholly new registers for his verse as well as new dimensions for his imaginative vision. | The Poems of W. B. Yeats Volume Three: 1899-1910

T. S. Eliot’s Ariel Poems Making Sense of the Times

T. S. Eliot’s Ariel Poems Making Sense of the Times

T. S. Eliot once stated that the supreme poet in writing himself writes his time. In saying that he honoured Dante and Shakespeare but this pithy remark fittingly characterises his own work including The Ariel Poems with which he promptly and pointedly responded to the problems of his times. Published with unwavering regularity a poem a year the Ariels were composed in the period when Eliot was mainly writing prose; and like his prose they reverberated with diverse contemporary issues ranging from the revision of the Book of Common Prayer to the translations of Heidegger to the questions of leadership and populism. In order to highlight the poems' historical specificity this study seeks to outline the constellations of thought connecting Eliot’s poetry and prose. In addition it attempts to expose the Ariels’ shared arc of meaning an unobtrusive incarnational metaphor determining the perspective from which they propose an unorthodox understanding of the epoch— an underlying pattern of thought bringing them together into a conceptually discrete set. This is the first study that both universalizes and historicises the series striving to disclose the regular without suppressing the random. Approaching the series as a system of orderly disorder the notion very much at home with chaos theory it suggests new intellectual contexts offering interpretations that are either fresh or significantly reangled.
