Klopstock-Handbuch: Leben - Werk - Wirkung
by Mario GrizeljUnbestritten gehört Klopstock zu den Schlüsselautoren des 18. Jahrhunderts: Sein bloßer Name war eine Chiffre poetisch erhöhten Lebens. Und dennoch ist die akademische Rezeption seiner Werke von jeher recht spärlich erfolgt und war auch weitgehend großen Missverständnissen ausgesetzt. Vernachlässigung und Missdeutung sind sicherlich nicht zuletzt darauf zurückzuführen, dass der Fortschritt der Literaturgeschichte schon zu seinen Lebzeiten über ihn hinweggegangen zu sein schien. Nur langsam beginnt sich die Forschung von den sich hartnäckig haltenden Vorurteilen zu befreien und das – jenseits klassischer literaturgeschichtlicher Erzählungen – Zukunftsweisende, ja, Moderne und auch heute noch Aktuelle in Klopstocks Schaffen in den Blick zu nehmen.Das Klopstock-Handbuch setzt hier ganz bewusst neue Impulse und versammelt dafür ein möglichst breites Spektrum neuerer und neuester Forschungsperspektiven. Klopstock und sein Werk werden in den vielfältigen literarischen, rhetorischen, religiösen, politischen und gesellschaftlichen Umwälzungen des 18. Jahrhunderts verortet, deren Folgen bis heute zu spüren sind. Neben Interpretationen seiner Werke und der Darstellung seiner poetischen Konzepte liefert das Handbuch kontext- und diskursgeschichtliche Einbettungen ebenso wie Analysen zur Rhetorik und Metrik oder Überlegungen zu Politik und Sport.
Knowing One's Place in Contemporary Irish and Polish Poetry: Zagajewski, Mahon, Heaney, Hartwig
by Magdalena KayAre we allowed to choose where we belong? What pressures make us feel that we should belong somewhere? This book brings together four major poets-Heaney, Mahon, Zagajewski, and Hartwig-who ask themselves these questions throughout their lives. They start by assuming that we can choose not to belong, but know this is easier said than done. Something in them is awry, leading them to travel, emigrate, and return dissatisfied with all forms of belonging. Writer after writer has suggested that Polish and Irish literature bear some uncanny similarities, particularly in the 20th century, but few have explored these similarities in depth. Ireland and Poland, with their tangled histories of colonization, place a large premium upon knowing one's place. What happens, though, when a poet makes a career out of refusing to know her place in the way her culture expects? This book explores the consequences of this refusal, allowing these poets to answer such questions through their own poems, leading to surprising conclusions about the connection of knowledge and belonging, roots and identity.

Kumukanda
by Kayo Chingonyi"A brilliant debut - a tender, nostalgic and at times darkly hilarious exploration of black boyhood, masculinity and grief - from one of my favourite writers". (Warsan Shire). Translating as 'initiation', kumukanda is the name given to the rites a young boy from the Luvale tribe must pass through before he is considered a man. The poems of Kayo Chingonyi's remarkable debut explore this passage: between two worlds, ancestral and contemporary; between the living and the dead; between the gulf of who he is and how he is perceived. Underpinned by a love of music, language and literature, here is a powerful exploration of race, identity and masculinity, celebrating what it means to be British and not British, all at once.
La Vita Nuova: Love Poems (Macmillan Collector's Library)
by Dante AlighieriLa Vita Nuova (The New Life) is Dante’s first major work. Set in thirteenth-century Florence, Dante describes his love for Beatrice through poems, sonnets and prose. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is the English translation by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, which was first published in The Early Italian Poets in 1861 and then reissued in 1874 by Dante and his circle. It was met with great acclaim acknowledging Rossetti’s skill as a meticulous and poetic translator.From the first time the poet sets eyes on Beatrice, he says ‘love quite governed my soul’ and his devotion to her knows no end. By recalling each meeting with Beatrice, including a rejection by her, this short book is at once a heartfelt account of youthful love and a religious allegory. La Vita Nuova serves as an important precursor to Dante’s masterpiece, The Divine Comedy.
Labors of Innocence in Early Modern England
by Joanna PicciottoIn seventeenth-century England, intellectuals of all kinds discovered their idealized self-image in the Adam who investigated, named, and commanded the creatures. Reinvented as the agent of innocent curiosity, Adam was central to the project of redefining contemplation as a productive and public labor. It was by identifying with creation’s original sovereign, Joanna Picciotto argues, that early modern scientists, poets, and pamphleteers claimed authority as both workers and “public persons.” Tracking an ethos of imitatio Adami across a wide range of disciplines and devotions, Picciotto reveals how practical efforts to restore paradise generated the modern concept of objectivity and a novel understanding of the author as an agent of estranged perception. Finally, she shows how the effort to restore Adam as a working collective transformed the corpus mysticum into a public. Offering new readings of key texts by writers such as Robert Hooke, John Locke, Andrew Marvell, Joseph Addison, and most of all John Milton, Labors of Innocence in Early Modern England advances a new account of the relationship between Protestantism, experimental science, the public sphere, and intellectual labor itself.

Lady Caroline Lamb: A Biography
by P. DouglassLady Caroline Lamb , among Lord Byron's many lovers, stands out - vilified, portrayed as a self-destructive nymphomaniac - her true story has never been told. Now, Paul Douglass provides the first unbiased treatment of a woman whose passions and independence were incompatible with the age in which she lived. Taking into account a traumatic childhood, Douglass explores Lamb's so-called 'erotomania' and tendency towards drug abuse and madness - problems she and Byron had in common. In this portrait, she emerges as a person who sacrificed much for the welfare of a sick child, and became an artist in her own right. Douglass illuminates her novels and poetry, her literary friendships, and the lifelong support of her husband and her publisher, John Murray.
The Lady of the Lake
by Sir Walter Scott"The Lady of the Lake is a narrative poem by Sir Walter Scott, first published in 1810. Set in the Trossachs region of Scotland, it comprises six cantos, each of which concerns the action of a single day. The poem has three main plots: the contest among three men, Roderick Dhu, James Fitz-James, and Malcolm Graeme, to win the love of Ellen Douglas; the feud and reconciliation of King James V of Scotland and James Douglas; and a war between the lowland Scots (led by James V) and the highland clans (led by Roderick Dhu of Clan Alpine). The poem was tremendously influential in the nineteenth century, and did much to inspire the Highland Revival. By the late twentieth century, however, the poem was virtually forgotten. Its influence is thus indirect: Schubert's Ave Maria, Rossini's La donna del lago (1819), the racist custom of cross burning, the last name of U.S. abolitionist Frederick Douglass, and the song "Hail to the Chief" were all inspired by the poem.

The Lais of Marie De France: With Two Further Lais in the Original Old French (Penguin Classics)
by Marie France Keith BusbyMarie de France (fl. late twelfth century) is the earliest known French woman poet and her lais - stories in verse based on Breton tales of chivalry and romance - are among the finest of the genre. Recounting the trials and tribulations of lovers, the lais inhabit a powerfully realized world where very real human protagonists act out their lives against fairy-tale elements of magical beings, potions and beasts. De France takes a subtle and complex view of courtly love, whether telling the story of the knight who betrays his fairy mistress or describing the noblewoman who embroiders her sad tale on the shroud for a nightingale killed by a jealous and suspicious husband.
