Cambridge University Press Poetry Modernism and an Imperfect World
Book SynopsisDiverse modernist poems, far from advertising a capacity to prefigure utopia or save society, understand themselves to be complicit in the unhappiness and injustice of an imperfect or fallen world. Combining analysis of technical devices and aesthetic values with broader accounts of contemporary critical debates, social contexts, and political history, this book offers a formalist argument about how these poems understand themselves and their situation, and a historicist argument about the meanings of their forms. The poetry of the canonical modernists T. S. Eliot, Mina Loy, and Wallace Stevens is placed alongside the poetry of Ford Madox Ford, better known for his novels and his criticism, and the poetry of Joseph Macleod, whose work has been largely forgotten. Focusing on the years from 1914 to 1930, the book offers a new account of a crucial moment in the history of British and American modernism.Trade Review'Poetry, Modernism, and an Imperfect World offers a compelling account of poetic modernism's ambivalent relationship to a fallen modernity through nuanced readings of a spectrum of canonical and lesser-known British and American poets, among them Ford Madox Ford, D. H. Lawrence, T. S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens, Mina Loy, Edith Sitwell, and Joseph Todd Gordon Macleod. Bookended by his absorbing account of Ford's 'On Heaven' and his recuperation of Macleod's extraordinary esoteric masterpiece, The Ecliptic, Sean Pryor's exploration of 'the incompatibility of poetry and heaven' is a significant intervention in modernist studies.' Lee Jenkins, University College Cork, Ireland'Pryor's account of the poem is subtle and generative, demonstrating that the real strength of his book lies more in its close textual encounters …' Peter Nicholls, Modern Philology'An insightful meditation on modernist poetry as at once a reflection of a fallen world and an attempt to grapple with that condition through poetic forms that are by necessity doomed to fail in their endeavours, Pryor's work is remarkably clear in its argument and moving in its articulation of how and why modernist poetry recognizes its own limitations when faced with the problem of the world it inhabits, and with the problem of its own generic identity.'

Cambridge University Press BelVedére or the Garden of the Muses
Book SynopsisBel-vedére; or The Garden of the Muses is an early modern printed commonplace book containing an anthology of nearly 4,500 short verse quotations arranged under topical headings. The book first appeared in 1600 and a second edition was published in 1610. It is of exceptional importance for the early historical reception of early modern authors such as William Shakespeare, Edmund Spenser, and Christopher Marlowe (whose verse it includes); for the late Elizabethan practice of commonplacing; for the rising status of English literature (including dramatic literature); and for early modern English canon formation. Until now the book has never been properly edited. This edition provides the first full analysis of the contents of Bel-vedére, presenting the text for today''s readers and filling an important gap in the study of early modern English literature.Trade Review'This meticulously edited volume, which has a splendidly substantial introduction, provides us with a window into late Elizabethan culture and its role in establishing the tradition of English literature.' Andrew Hadfield, The Times Literary Supplement'Erne and Singh … have done a wonderful job editing Bel-vedére, an important commonplace book originally published in 1600 …Their introduction is informative, the attributions of authorship for quotations are established through well-defined research in respected sources, and the appendixes aid the reader in the use and understanding of the book. This is an excellent and delightful scholarly work.' J. D. Sharpe, Choice'[Erne and Singh's] edition is an exemplary scholarly achievement in every way … this volume is a major contribution to Elizabethan literary history, beautifully produced by Cambridge University Press.'

Cambridge University Press A Hellenistic Anthology
Book SynopsisThis book is an anthology of Greek poetry written during the third to first centuries BC, the Hellenistic period. It is intended to make available to undergraduates and graduate students a selection of texts which are for the most part not easily accessible elsewhere. The volume contains a wide and representative range of poetry including hymns, didactic verse, pastoral poetry, epigrams and epic. An introduction provides cultural and historical background, and a full commentary elucidates problems of language and reference in the texts. In this second edition, many notes have been rewritten and the bibliography has been updated. The selection has also been augmented with three hundred more lines of Greek text (Theocritus poems 5 and 15), and is now more than 2000 lines in length.Trade Review'This A Hellenistic Anthology - now issued as a second edition, with a greater contribution from Theocritus - is a welcome addition to the Green-and-Yellow series. The Introduction manages to convey a lot of information in a relatively short space … We then have the Commentary. [Hopkinson] introduces each poet, at greater or lesser length with a terse bibliography. The notes are a model of their kind: relevant, concise, precise … This is unequivocally excellent.' Colin Leach, Classics for All'I feel confident that Professor Hopkinson will continue to live on as a 'brilliant and devoted teacher' in this and in his other well-received publications.' James J.

Broadview Press Ltd Broadview Anthology of Poetry
Book SynopsisThe purpose of The Broadview Anthology of Poetry is to present a wide range of poetry written in English. [Though the poems are arranged chronologically], we have compiled not a historical survey, but rather a collection of poems that represent a variety of times, places and English-speaking cultures. Our selection process was guided by a wish to combine works long accepted as part of the English-language ‘canon’ with material not always well represented in anthologies—such as, most notably, the poetry of women since the seventeenth century..."Another notion implicit in the framing of this anthology is that English-language poetry has dramatically expanded within the last century. Writers in Australia and New Zealand, Canada, India, Africa and the Caribbean all hold in common with writers in Britain and the United States an English-Language tradition that helped to shape their history and their institutions, and that laid the groundwork for new writings..."In trying to include as wide a selection as possible of representative work…we have had to leave out several well-known long poems. In almost all cases, however, we have chosen to represent a poet by several poems, inviting readers to take a broader view of a given writer’s work and ways of thinking." - from the PrefaceTrade ReviewIn reconsidering the canon of English language poetry, the editors have been as creative as they are generous. This is a lively anthology—it shows views where previous anthologies hadn't planned for windows." - David Shevin, Tiffin UniversityTable of Contents GEOFFREY CHAUCER from: The Canterbury Tales (1387?)

Broadview Press Ltd The Broadview Anthology of Seventeenth-Century
Book SynopsisThe publication of The Broadview Anthology of Seventeenth-Century Verse and Prose is a literary event; this comprehensive volume is the first anthology of the period to reflect the breadth of seventeenth-century studies in recent decades. Over one hundred writers are included, from John Chamberlain at the beginning of the century to Elisabeth Singer Rowe at its end. There are generous selections from the work of all major writers, and a representation of the work of virtually every writer of significance. The work of women writers figures prominently, with extensive selections not only from canonical writers such as Behn and Bradstreet, but also from other writers (such as Katherine Philips and Margaret Cavendish) who have been receiving considerable scholarly attention in recent years.The anthology is broadly inclusive, with writing from America as well as from the British Isles. Memoirs, letters, political texts, travel writing, prophetic literature, street ballads, and pamphlet literature are all here, as is a full representation of the literary poetry and prose of the period, including the poetry of Jonson; the prose of Bacon; the metaphysical poetry of Donne, Herbert, Marvell, and others; the lyric verse of Herrick; and substantial selections from the poetry and prose of Milton and Dryden. (While Samson Agonistes is included in its entirety, Milton’s epic poems have been excluded, in order to allow space for other works not so readily accessible elsewhere.)The editors have included complete works wherever possible. A headnote by the editors introduces each author, and each selection has been newly annotated.Trade Review“There are many good things to be said about The Broadview Anthology of Seventeenth-Century Verse and Prose—not least that it comes to help relieve a quarter-of-a-century’s dearth of decent anthologies, that it covers the whole century, and that it includes a number of women writers…This ambitious and thoughtful anthology deserves a large audience.” — Tom Clayton, Regents Professor of English, University of MinnesotaTable of ContentsJOHN CHAMBERLAIN Letters The Death of Queen Elizabeth (1603)The Marriage of Princess Elizabeth (1613) LANCELOT ANDREWES A Sermon Preached Before the Kings Majesty at Whitehall (1609)NICHOLAS BRETON The Good and the Bad (excerpts) (1616) An Atheist or Most Bad ManA Wanton WomanA Quiet WomanAn Unworthy Lawyer MARY SIDNEY HERBERT, COUNTESS OF PEMBROKE The Psalms of David Psalm 52 Quid Gloriaris?Psalm 58 Si Vere UtiquePsalm 74 Ut Quid, DeusPsalm 120 Ad Dominum FRANCIS BACON Essays (excerpts) Of TruthOf Simulation and DissimulationOf Marriage and Single LifeOf LoveOf Seditions and TroublesOf TravelOf EmpireOf the True Greatness of Kingdoms and EstatesOf PlantationsOf Masques and TriumphsOf Studies (1597)Of Studies (1625) Aphorisms (excerpts) The IdolsIdols of the TribeIdols of the CaveIdols of the Market-placeIdols of the TheatreApplication of the Method MICHAEL DRAYTONTo the Virginian VoyageTo the Cambro-Britons, and their Harp, his Ballad of AgincourtSonnet 61 Since there’s no help, come let us kiss and partKING JAMES VI/I A Speech to the Lords and Commons (1610)THOMAS CAMPIONfrom A Book of AirsLet him that will be free and keep his heart from careFollow your Saint, follow with accents sweetfrom Two Books of AirsSweet, exclude me not, nor be dividedAs by the streams of Babylonfrom The Third Book of AirsIf Love loves truth, then women do not lovefrom The Fourth Book of AirsThere is a garden in her faceHENRY WOTTONOn his Mistress, the Queen of BohemiaThe Character of a Happy LifeUpon the Death of Sir Albert Morton’s WifeOn a Bank as I Sat a-Fishing: A Description of the SpringDe MorteAEMILIA LANYER Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum (excerpts) To All Virtuous Ladies in GeneralThe Author’s Dream to the Lady MarySalve Deus Rex Judaorum (excerpts)The Description of Cooke-ham LADY MARGARET HOBY The Diary of Lady Margaret Hoby 1599-1605 (excerpts)JOHN DONNE Songs and Sonnets The ApparitionThe FleaThe Good-MorrowLove’s Alchemy The IndifferentThe AnniversaryThe Sun RisingThe CanonizationConfined LoveAir and AngelsTwicknam GardenA Valediction: of WeepingThe EcstasyFarewell to LoveA Valediction: forbidding MourningA Nocturnal upon S.

Broadview Press Ltd Augusta Webster: Portraits and Other Poems
Book SynopsisAugusta Webster was very widely praised in her own time—Christina Rossetti thought her "by far the most formidable" woman poet. Her work has again come into favour, so much so that Isobel Armstrong and her co-editors of the influential anthology, Nineteenth-Century Women Poets, declare that "there can be no doubt that Augusta Webster ranks as one of the great Victorian poets." This collection is the first edition of Webster's poems since 1895. It is a selection of her best work, emphasizing her powerful dramatic monologues and including a substantial number of her lyrics. With an introduction and background documents that highlight the distinctiveness of her work, this edition will help to re-establish Augusta Webster as a major figure of nineteenth-century English literature.Trade ReviewAugusta Webster's powerful and witty, disarmingly casual essays incisively explore such topics as the creation of selfhood, the social constraints that mar women's happiness, and the struggle for women's rights. Reintroducing Webster's writings after a century of neglect, Christine Sutphin provides generous, well-chosen selections of both poetry and prose as well as an informative introduction and useful supplementary materials. Anyone interested in Victorian poetry, women's writing, or nineteenth-century feminism will appreciate this extremely interesting volume by an important Victorian writer." - Dorothy Mermin, Cornell UniversityTable of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroductionWorks CitedAugusta Webster: A Brief ChronologyA Note on the TextWORKSFrom Dramatic Studies (1866) Jeanne D’ArcSister Annunciata— An Anniversary Abbess Ursula’s Lecture The Snow WasteWith the DeadBy the Looking-Glass From A Woman Sold and Other Poems (1867) A Woman Sold— Eleanor Vaughan Lady Boycott From Anno Domini 33 Pilate The Old Year Out and the New Year InToo FaithfulTo One of ManyTo and FroFrom Portraits (first edition 1870; enlarged edition, 1893):Medea in AthensCirceThe Happiest Girl in the WorldA CastawayFadedA Soul in PrisonTiredComing HomeIn an AlmshouseA PreacherA PainterAn InventorA DilettanteYu-Pe-Ya’s Lute.

Broadview Press Ltd Native Poetry in Canada: A Contemporary Anthology
Book SynopsisNative Poetry in Canada: A Contemporary Anthology is the only collection of its kind. It brings together the poetry of many authors whose work has not previously been published in book form alongside that of critically-acclaimed poets, thus offering a record of Native cultural revival as it emerged through poetry from the 1960s to the present. The poets included here adapt English oratory and, above all, a sense of play. Native Poetry in Canada suggests both a history of struggle to be heard and the wealth of Native cultures in Canada today.Trade Review“In one of her poems Rita Joe writes, ‘I lost my talk/The talk you took away.’ In another, she claims, ‘And I will relate wonders to my people.’ The first statement brings us face-to-face with the attempted destruction of Native People and their rich and varied cultures, including their mother tongues. The second affirms the blessings that poems can bring to a particular people and to others who want to listen. What the poets in this anthology bring to the page is, indeed, a series of wonders. Such a gathering of writers and words, to borrow a phrase from Wayne Keon, makes ‘all the stars/cooperate/and come out shining.’” — Lorna Crozier, University of Victoria, winner of the Governor General’s Award for Poetry“This collection shows the breadth of contemporary Native poetry, from the resistance literature of the many poems remembering the murdered Helen Betty Osborne to the playful fishing game of Daniel David Moses; it is an excellent anthology.” — Terry Goldie, York University, co-editor of An Anthology of Canadian Native Literature in English“Armstrong and Grauer have arranged a collection of works of extraordinary breadth in their thematic treatment of cultural, political, and spiritual subjects. Instructors will value the accompanying biographical information, the substantial selections from each poet’s work, and the authors’ prefatory comments, all of which situate this collection as an ideal text for the university classroom.” — Canadian LiteratureTable of ContentsFour Decades: An Anthology of Canadian Native Poetry from 1960 to 2000, Jeannette C.

Broadview Press Ltd The Broadview Anthology of British Literature:
Book SynopsisIntended for courses with a major focus on poetry during the Romantic period, this volume includes all the poetry selections from Volume 4 of The Broadview Anthology of British Literature, along with a number of works newly edited for this volume. The Broadview Anthology of Romantic Poetry maintains the Broadview Anthology of British Literature’s characteristic balance of canonical favorites and lesser-known gems, featuring a breadth of poetry from William Blake to Phillis Wheatley, from Ebenezer Elliott to Felicia Hemans. To give a sense of the full sweep of the Romantic period, the anthology incorporates important early figures from William Collins to Phillis Wheatley, as well as works by Victorians—such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Alfred, Lord Tennyson—for whom Romanticism was a formative force. “Contexts” sections provide valuable background on cultural matters such as “The Natural and the Sublime” and “The Abolition of Slavery,” while the companion website offers a wealth of additional resources and primary works. Longer works newly prepared for the bound book include Byron’s Manfred and The Giaour, Keats’s Hyperion, and substantial selections from Wordsworth’s fourteen-book Prelude; authors newly added for this volume include Hannah Cowley, Hannah More, Ann Yearsley, Robert Southey, and Thomas Moore.Trade ReviewPraise for The Broadview Anthology of Romantic Poetry:“At last, an anthology that lets us explore in detail the remarkable depth and breadth of British poetry during the long Romantic period, and to do so from a genuinely interdisciplinary perspective that embraces the range of social, political, economic, scientific and cultural developments of that protean era, including issues of gender, race, class and religion. The ample and judicious selections splendidly illustrate the rich diversity of Romantic poetry in all its forms, while the abundant contextual materials—including the lavish illustrations—situate that poetry within its contemporary intellectual, historical, artistic and cultural contexts. Concise editorial annotations deftly and unobtrusively guide readers through complex or unfamiliar territory and profitably supplement the excellent introductory and supplementary essays. Here is an anthology for all seasons of Romanticism studies, and for students at all levels.” — Stephen C. Behrendt, University of Nebraska“ … [A]n exciting moment for all teachers in the field of Romanticism and poetry. Broadview has led the way in the new generation of literature anthologies, and the Romantic Poetry volume offers a characteristic breadth of verse selections from the expanded canon, accompanied by contemporary treatises and commentaries on an array of topics vital to the twenty-first-century classroom: from debates on gender and slavery, to Britain’s imperial and colonial project, to revolutionary politics and the first stresses of industrialization. All this is enriched with illustrations evocative of the budding visual culture of the period, and contained in a single volume that is as thorough as any instructor could wish, while not intimidating to the student in its heft or price.” — Gillen Wood, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign“The Broadview Anthology of Romantic Poetry … offers a marvelously diverse body of material; it is much more comprehensive than any other available anthology of British Romantic writings … This is a fine anthology, imaginative and innovative in the way it is organized and rich in the options it offers for access to less anthologized, less generally available works by the British Romantic poets.” — Waqas Khwaja, Agnes Scott College“The Broadview Anthology of Romantic Poetry is the most comprehensive collection of verse and prose from this period available today. Scrupulously and judiciously edited, it combines selections from a wide array of major and lesser-known Romantic poets and critics of both genders and from many regions with invaluable introductory essays and rich contextual materials … It is surely to become the standard anthology in the field. I know I will be using it from now on.” — Alexander Dick, University of British Columbia“The new Broadview Anthology of Romantic Poetry is as thoughtfully assembled as any anthology I have seen. It presents a diverse chorus of voices from the period, representing both the traditional canon of romantic writers and also, exhilaratingly, extending beyond that canon, with selections from poets such as Wheatley, Barbauld, Burns, Clare, and Landon, among others. From the editors’ outstanding introductory essay—clear, original, vibrant—to its incredibly rich selection of writings, which are generously and gently annotated, to the enthralling and complex contextual materials covering subjects such as India and the Orient, non-human animals in nature, and steam power, this anthology explores and elaborates “the romantic” in a way that is sure to dazzle students, to enrich their experience of this period’s literature and to enhance classroom discussion of it. The Broadview will be the new gold standard for instructional texts in the field. — Christopher Rovee, Louisiana State University“I am so glad to find this anthology. The selections are outstanding, the illustrations excellent, and the contextual material is sound. This book will make my course much more powerful than it would have been had I used a standard anthology supplemented with e-texts.” — Gary Harrison, University of New MexicoPraise for The Age of Romanticism:“ … I am very impressed.… A wealth of cultural and historical information is provided.… The introductions show subtle expertise.… Here, as in the other volumes, the editors bring English literary tradition to life.” — Wendy Nielsen, Montclair State UniversityComments on The Broadview Anthology of British Literature:“ … sets a new standard by which all other anthologies of British Literature will now have to be measured.” — Graham Hammill, SUNY Buffalo“With the publication of the Broadview Anthology of British Literature, teachers and students in survey and upper-level undergraduate courses have a compelling alternative to the established anthologies by Norton and Longman. … This is a very real intellectual, as well as pedagogical, achievement.” — Nicholas Watson, Harvard University“ … an excellent anthology. Good selections for my purposes (including some nice surprises), just the right level of annotation, affordable—and a hit with my students. I will definitely use it again.” — Ira Nadel, University of British ColumbiaTable of Contents William Collins Oliver Goldsmith William Cowper Hannah Cowley Anna Laetitia Barbauld Hannah More Sir William Jones Charlotte Smith Phyllis Wheatley George Crabbe Ann Yearsley William Blake Mary Robinson Contexts: Women and Society Robert Burns Joanna Baillie William Taylor Ann Batten Cristall William Wordsworth Sir Walter Scott Dorothy Wordsworth Contexts: The Natural and the Sublime Samuel Taylor Coleridge Robert Southey Mary Tighe Contexts: The Abolition of Slavery Thomas Moore Ebenezer Elliott George Gordon, Lord Byron Percy Bysshe Shelley Felicia Hemans John Clare John Keats Letitia Elizabeth Landon Thomas Beddoes Elizabeth Barrett Browning Alfred Tennyson

Carcanet Press Ltd On the Thirteenth Stroke of Midnight: Surrealist
Book SynopsisThis book, the first published anthology of British surrealist poetry, takes its title from Herbert Read's words when he opened the Surrealist Poems and Objects exhibition at the London Gallery at midnight on 24 November 1937. Within a few years the Second World War would effectively fragment the British surrealist movement, dispersing its key members and leaving the surrealist flame flickering only in isolated moments and places. Yet British surrealist writing was vibrant and, at its best, durable, and now takes its place in the wider European context of literary surrealism. On the Thirteenth Stroke of Midnight includes work by Emmy Bridgwater, Jacques B. Brunius, Ithell Colquhoun, Hugh Sykes Davies, Toni del Renzio, Anthony Earnshaw, David Gascoyne, Humphrey Jennings, Sheila Legge, Len Lye, Conroy Maddox, Reuben Mednikoff, George Melly, E.L.T. Mesens, Desmond Morris, Grace Pailthorpe, Roland Penrose, Edith Rimmington, Roger Roughton, Simon Watson Taylor and John W. Welson. Many of the poems are published here for the first time. The book also reproduces key manifestos produced by the British surrealists, and includes illuminating introductory essays, a detailed chronology, biographical notes on the writers, and a bibliography. Illustrated throughout with drawings by Bridgwater, Colquhoun, Earnshaw, Maddox, Morris, Rimmington and Welson, this anthology is a fascinating record of a neglected strand of British poetry from the 1930s to the 1980s. British surrealist writing is at last given a chance to voice its subversion.
