Cambridge University Press The Regenerate Lyric
Book SynopsisElisa New presents a major revision of the accepted account of Emerson as the source of the American poetic tradition. New challenges the view that Emerson not only overthrew New England religious orthodoxy but founded a poetic tradition that fundamentally renounced that orthodoxy in favour of a secular, Romantic approach.Trade Review"...[a] superb first book...New's readings are rigorous and rewarding." Lee Oser, The New England Quarterly"The Regenerate Lyric makes the strongest case for the Puritan view since Pearce." Modern Philology"The Regenerate Lyric is an exciting debut. Well-read, and closely argued, it will be of interest for poets, critics, theologians, and historians alike." Matthew Cooperman, American Studies InternationalTable of ContentsIntroduction; Part I: 1. An original relation: Taylor and Emerson; 2. Poetics and the poem: Emerson; 3. The savage source: Emerson and Stevens; Part II: 4. Crossing Leviticus: Whitman; 5. Beyond circumference: Dickinson; 6. Hand of fire: Crane; Epilogue. The regenerate lyric: Lowell and Frost.

Cambridge University Press Hesiods Cosmos
Book SynopsisIn the Theogony and the Works and Days Hesiod provides the earliest systematic and comprehensive account of the genesis of the Greek gods and the nature of human life. Hesiod's Cosmos argues for reading the two poems as complementary halves of a whole embracing the divine and human cosmos.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'The writing is in general very accessible … and the argument … is always set out clearly.' JACTReview of the hardback: '… scholarly, lucid, serious.' The Times Literary SupplementReview of the hardback: '… this remains a thoughtful book which repays careful study and will become a cornerstone of future Hesiodic scholarship.' Bryn Mawr Classical Review'Clay's book is accessible and unpretentious, thoughtfully structured and full of insight. It will convince you that there is much to admire in Hesiod's works, and perhaps much to complement our student's study of Homer.' The London Association of Classical Teachers NewsletterReview of the hardback: 'This is a thought-provoking book, which deserves to be widely read.' Journal of Hellenic StudiesReview of the hardback: 'Jenny Strauss Clay's excellent new book on Hesiod has the strength characteristic of all her work: she takes her text seriously … richly rewarding and filled with intriguing and thought-provoking insights. Clay has provided us with an important new perspective on the Hesiodic corpus.' HermathenaReview of the hardback: '… this book constitutes an estimable and valuable contribution to scholarly debate on Hesiod, which leads me to strongly recommend it. It is informative, accurate, challenging and, so to speak, a 'fertilizer' both for new reflections on the several topics discussed and for promoting increased interest in trying to better understand a poet traditionally neglected and obscured by comparison with Homer. And both these results are, in my opinion, the most precious values an essay can have.' Rosanna Lauriola, University of Texas, San AntonioTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Orientations: the Theogony; 2. Orientations: the Works and Days; 3. Overtures; 4. The origins of mankind; 5. The two Prometheuses; 6. Perspectives on gods and men; 7. Hybrids; Conclusion.

Cambridge University Press Ovid Ars Amatoria Book III
Book SynopsisBook III of Ovid's Ars Amatoria teaches women how to catch and keep men and is here presented in the first full modern edition. Considerable attention is paid in the introduction and commentary to recent developments in interpreting didactic poetry and the treatment of women by the Latin elegiac poets.Trade ReviewReview of the hardback: 'A detailed commentary on the third book of the Ars Amatoria has long been a desideratum. Roy K. Gibson's impressive work fills the gap and does an admirable job at elucidating a poem that for all its obvious entertainment value is not always easy to interpret. … the commentary is a masterwork of learning … a treasure trove … pleasantly undogmatic. … Well aware of the complexity of Ovid's text, Gibson judiciously refrains from simplifying it - an honest and reasonable attitude that provides a welcome corrective to the all-too-often one-sided and ideology-driven interpretations found in recent Ovidian scholarship.' Katharina Volk, Columbia University, New YorkTable of ContentsIntroduction; Text and critical apparatus; Method of the commentary; Commentary.

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Introduction to Christopher Marlowe Cambridge Introductions to Literature
Book SynopsisProviding a comprehensive survey of Christopher Marlowe's literary career, this Introduction presents an approachable account of the life, works and influence of the groundbreaking Elizabethan dramatist and poet. It includes in-depth discussions of all of Marlowe's plays, stressing what was new and revolutionary about them as well as how they made use of existing dramatic models. Marlowe's poems and translations, sometimes marginalised in discussions of his work, are analysed to emphasise their literary importance and political resonances. The book presents a balanced discussion of Marlowe's turbulent life and considers his afterlives: the influence of his work on other writers and examples of how his plays have been performed. In addition to introducing the reader to the historical and religious contexts within which Marlowe wrote, the Introduction stresses the qualities that continue to make his work fascinating: intellectual range, radical irony and an awareness of the dangerously cTrade Review'On the whole, I have found this book a model of excellence in its scholarship, intelligence, and suggestiveness. It is remarkably fresh in the focus of each chapter, wide-ranging in scope, flexible and detailed in supplying illuminating contexts, and thoroughly engaging in the persuasive candor of its well-supported observations. I recommend it without reservation.' Robert A. Logan, University of Hartford'This is the book you want for your students: it is readable, sensible, fact-filled, fancy-careful, comprehensive for its publishing category, and affordable.' Roslyn Knutson, Professor Emerita, University of Arkansas, Little Rock'On the whole, I have found this book a model of excellence in its scholarship, intelligence, and suggestiveness. It is remarkably fresh in the focus of each chapter, wide-ranging in scope, flexible and detailed in supplying illuminating contexts, and thoroughly engaging in the persuasive candor of its well-supported observations. I recommend it without reservation.' The Marlowe Society of America'… a short, engaging book targeted at students, teachers and lecturers. It covers familiar territory (the life and works of Marlowe) in an original way by combining a historical approach, an interest in performance and reader-response, and illuminating close readings of some passages of the plays and poems. Rutter's information is always precise and every statement is traced back to a primary source (letters, Privy Council reports, the Baines note, plays by other dramatists...) The book is also well documented: Rutter is aware of much of the recent criticism on Marlowe's life and works and he is also well informed on the history of theatre companies and on studies on gender and sexuality in early modern England, but he quotes his sources only sparsely, saving his reader from an ostentatious display of knowledge not fitted to this kind of work. Another strength of this book is the clarity and elegance of the exposition.' Cercles: Revue pluridisciplinaire du monde anglophoneTable of ContentsPreface; Key dates; 1. Life and historical contexts; 2. Tamburlaine, Parts One and Two; 3. Doctor Faustus; 4. The Jew of Malta and The Massacre at Paris; 5. Edward II; 6. Dido, Queen of Carthage and Marlowe's poetry; 7.
