Taylor & Francis Ltd The Translation and Transmission of Concrete
Book SynopsisThis volume addresses the global reception of untranslatable concrete poetry. Featuring contributions from an international group of literary and translation scholars and practitioners, working across a variety of languages, the book views the development of the international concrete poetry movement through the lens of transcreation, that is, the informed, creative response to the translation of playful, enigmatic, visual texts. Contributions range in subject matter from ancient Greek and Chinese pattern poems to modernist concrete poems from the Americas, Europe and Asia. This challenging body of experimental work offers creative challenges and opportunities to literary translators and unique pleasures to the sympathetic reader. Highlighting the ways in which literary influence is mapped across languages and borders, this volume will be of interest to students and scholars of experimental poetry, translation studies and comparative literature.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements & Notes on ContributorsIntroduction John CorbettChapter 1: Concrete Poetry, Playfulness and Translation Susan BassnettChapter 2: The Origins of the Untranslatable: The Earliest Western Visual Poetry Juliana Di Fiori PondianChapter 3: Concrete Poetry in China: Form, Content, Theme and FunctionLi LiChapter 4: Writing and Translating Concrete Poetry in Chinese CharactersChen LiChapter 5: The Structures of Chance: Transcreating Noigandres ideogramas into EnglishClaus ClüverChapter 6: Transcreation without BordersK.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Hagiographies of Anantadas
Book SynopsisAnantadas is the first ''biographer'' who, around 1600, wrote about the most popular bhakti poets of the 15th and 16th centuries in Northern India. This critical study of these manuscripts yields a broad spectrum of the linguistic and morphological variants. It also reveals the processes of oral and scribal transmission during this time when sectarian interests appropriated certain poets and changed their ''biographies'' accordingly.Table of ContentsIntroduction: the early Hindi hagiographies by Anantadas; manuscripts used for this edition; earlier editions of paricayi literature; editorial methods; note on the Raghavadas Bhaktakamal. 1 the paracai of Namdev: English translation, Hindi text; 2 the paracai of Kabir: Hindi text; 3 the paracai of Dhana: English translation, Hindi text, Dhana in the Bhaktamal-s, pad-s of Dhana 4 the paracai of Trilochan: English translation, Hindi text, Trilochan in the Bhaktamal-s, Pad-s of Trilochan; 5 the paracai of Pipa: English translation, Hindi text, Pipa in the Bhaktamal-s, Pad-s of Pipa, the Pipa citavani; 6 the paracai of Raidas: English translation, Hindi text; 7 the paracai of Angad: English translation, Hindi text, Angad in the Bhaktamal-s, Pad-s of Angad; 8 the paracai of Seu Saman.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Faith Hope and Poetry
Book SynopsisFaith, Hope and Poetry explores the poetic imagination as a way of knowing; a way of seeing reality more clearly. Presenting a series of critical appreciations of English poetry from Anglo-Saxon times to the present day, Malcolm Guite applies the insights of poetry to contemporary issues and the contribution poetry can make to our religious knowing and the way we ''do theology''. This book is not solely concerned with overtly religious poetry, but attends to the paradoxical ways in which the poetry of doubt and despair also enriches theology. Developing an original analysis and application of the poetic vision of Coleridge, Larkin and Seamus Heaney in the final chapters, Guite builds towards a substantial theology of imagination and provides unique insights into truth that complement and enrich more strictly rational ways of knowing. Readers of this book will return to their reading of poetry equipped with new insights and enthusiasm and will be challenged to integrate imaginative waysTrade Review'Malcolm Guite, in this wide-ranging and original study, helps us see how poetry is - if we let ourselves be drawn in and shaped by it - a means of making connections with the fundamental way things are, and so too a way of connecting with a God who is himself a pattern of 'connection' as Trinity, open to share the divine reality with created life. Here are materials for a profound theology of the imagination, developed in dialogue with writers both familiar and unfamiliar, beautifully combining close reading with wide horizons.' The Most Revd Dr Rowan Williams 'No one with an interest in the history of poetry inspired by the Christian Faith can fail to be impressed with this book. Malcolm Guite has offered us an immensely rich work, ranging from the 8th Century Dream of the Rood, to Seamus Heaney via Shakespeare, John Davies, John Donne and George Herbert, in which the truth-telling available only in poetry is brought into the service of mature theological vision. It is quite simply both astounding and outstanding.' The Rt Revd Professor Stephen Sykes 'Malcolm Guite has the rare gift of being able to open up the depths of poetry and theology together. He is alert to form, content and context, and above all to the nuances of poetic visions of God, the complexities of faith, and spiritual transformations.' David Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity, University of Cambridge, UK 'To enter Malcolm Guite's Faith, Hope & Poetry is to discover a new continent with dazzling possibilities, a landscape where scholarship, vivid faith, word craft, imaginative insight, reflection and careful research are all available at a level that is revelatory to both academics and lay readers alike. Guite, not only an ordained Anglican priest but a poet and scholar of the highest order, invites us to this fresh feast - a summons that will widen our own worlds immeasurably.'

Cambridge University Press The Evolution of Arthurian Romance The Verse Tradition from Chrtien to Froissart The Verse Tradition from Chrtien to Froissart 35 Cambridge Studies in Medieval Literature Series Number 35
Book SynopsisThis 1998 study serves as a contribution to both reception history, examining the medieval response to ChrÃtien's poetry, and genre history, suveying the evolution of Arthurian verse romance in French. It describes the evolutionary changes taking place between ChrÃtien's Eric et Enide and Froissart's Meliador, the first and last examples of the genre, and is unique in placing ChrÃtien's work, not as the unequalled masterpieces of the whole of Arthurian literature, but as the starting point for the history of the genre, which can subsequently be traced over a period of two centuries in the French-speaking world. Beate Schmolke-Hasselmann's study was first published in German in 1985, but her radical argument that we need urgently to redraw the lines on the literary and linguistic map of medieval Britain and France is only now being made available in English.Trade Review"In English the book reads with remarkable freshness. Scholarship on the verse romances has continued in recent years, but has concentrated on the production of (very welcome) new editions and articles on fashionable aspects of individual texts; Schmolke-Hasselmann's breadth of approach remains unparalleled. Like all the best criticism, Schmolke-Hasselmann's book raises as many stimulating questions as it answers." Rosemary Morris, AlbionTable of ContentsAcknowledgements; Introduction; Part I.
