His writing combines cosmology and history, Bible and metaphysics, liturgy and the drama of human personality. His work, which continues to arouse discussion in France, was acclaimed in his lifetime as the 'summa poetica' of a new Dante. Aidan Nichols' study demonstrates how Claudel's oeu...

|  | The Complete Poems: The 1554 Edition of the "Rime," a Bilingual Edition (The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe)
Publication Date: October 30, 2010| Series: The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe Gaspara Stampa (1523?-1554) is one of the finest female poets ever to write in Italian. Although she was lauded for her singing during her lifetime, her success and critical reputation as a poet emerged only after her verse was republished in the early eighteenth century. Her poetry runs the gamut of human emotion, ranging from ecstasy over a consummated love affair to despair at its end. While these tormented works and their multiple male addressees have led to speculation that Stampa may have been one of Ven...

Taken together, such spectacles made repeated connections between child performers as children and the mimetic powers of fiction in general.In Pretty Creatures, Michael Witmore examines the ways i...

|  | The Machine that Sings: Modernism, Hart Crane, and the Culture of the Body
Publication Date: September 21, 2006| ISBN-10: 0415965918 | ISBN-13: 978-0415965910| Edition: 1 Examining how Crane's corporeal aesthetic informs poems written across the span of his career, The Machine That Sings focuses on four texts in which Crane's preoccupation with the body reaches its apoge. Tapper treats Voyages, The Wine Merchant, and Possessions as a triptych of erotic poems in which Crane plays out alternative resolutions to the dialectic between purity and defilement, a conceptual dynamic which Tapper argues is central to both Crane's poetics of difficulty and his representat...
