Cambridge University Press Poetry and Number in GraecoRoman Antiquity
Book SynopsisPoetry and mathematics might seem to be worlds apart. Nevertheless, a number of Greek and Roman poets incorporated counting and calculation within their verses. Setting the work of authors such as Callimachus, Catullus and Archimedes in dialogue with the less well-known isopsephic epigrams of Leonides of Alexandria and the anonymous arithmetical poems preserved in the Palatine Anthology, the book reveals the various roles that number played in ancient poetry. Focussing especially on counting and arithmetic, Max Leventhal demonstrates how the discussion, rejection or enacting of these two operations was bound up with wider conceptions of the nature of poetry. Practices of composing, reading, interpreting and critiquing poetry emerge in these texts as having a numerical component. The result is an illuminating new way of approaching Greek and Latin poetry and one that reaches across modern disciplinary divisions.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Numbers Up; Part I. Counting and Criticism: 1. Callimachus and his Legacy; 2. Leonides of Alexandria's Isopsephic Epigrams; Part II. Arithmetic and Aesthetics: 3. Archimedes' Cattle Problem; 4. The Arithmetical Poems in A.P. 14; Conclusion: Summing Up Poetry.

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Introduction to Literary
Book SynopsisAt a time when scholars in both literary and scientific disciplines are advancing the term posthumanism, this book offers a through-line. Beginning with Mary Shelley''s Frankenstein and continuing into the post-print, born-digital excursions of Shelley Jackson''s Patchwork Girl, this literary introduction defines posthumanism and provides a summary account of the key literary and cultural theorists in the field. It embraces humanist refusals from Melville''s Bartelby to Thomas Pynchon''s authorial surrogation, and more recent evasions and avoidances in the writing of William Gibson, Tom McCarthy, Coleson Whitehead, Jeanette Winterson, and Claire-Louise Bennett. This book also provides close readings of key posthuman fiction, poetry, and conceptual approaches that help ground the discipline.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Poems of Robert Browning Volume Six
Book SynopsisThe Ring and the Book, published serially in 18689, is one of the most daring and innovative poems in the English language. The story is based on the trial of an Italian nobleman, Guido Franceschini, for the murder of his wife Pompilia in Rome in 1698.Browning's discovery of the old yellow book', a bundle of legal documents and letters relating to the trial, on a second-hand market stall in Florence, sparked an imaginative engagement with this sordid tale of domestic cruelty, adultery, and greed which grew, through four years of arduous labour, into an epic peopled not by gods and warriors but by concrete, recognizably human beings. Fusing the technique of the dramatic monologue, the form he had made his own, with the grandeur of classical epic and the vivid realism of the modern novel, Browning created a unique hybrid form that allowed him not only to bring to life an entire historical period but also to reflect on the process of artistic creation itself the forging

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Poem and the Garden in Early Modern England
Book SynopsisThis book draws attention to the pervasive artistic rivalry between Elizabethan poetry and gardens in order to illustrate the benefits of a trans-media approach to the literary culture of the period. In its blending of textual studies with discussions of specific historical patches of earth, The Poem and the Garden demonstrates how the fashions that drove poetic invention were as likely to be influenced by a popular print convention or a particular garden experience as they were by the formal genres of the classical poets. By moving beyond a strictly verbal approach in its analysis of creative imitation, this volume offers new ways of appreciating the kinds of comparative and competitive methods that shaped early modern poetics. Noting shared patternsboth conceptual and materialin these two areas not only helps explain the persistence of botanical metaphors in sixteenth-century books of poetry but also offers a new perspective on the types of contrastive illusioTable of ContentsIntroduction: Commonplace Concerns 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge Global Haiku Reader
Book SynopsisThe Routledge Global Haiku Reader provides a historical overview and comprehensive examination of haiku across the world in numerous languages, poetic movements, and cultural contexts. Offering an extensive critical perspective, this volume provides leading essays by poets and scholars who explore haiku's various global developments, demonstrating the form's complex and sometimes contradictory manifestations from the twentieth century to the present.The sixteen chapters are carefully organized into categories that reflect the salient areas of practice and study: Haiku in Transit, Haiku and Social Consciousness, Haiku and Experimentation, and The Future of Global Haiku. An insightful introduction surveys haiku's influence beyond Japan and frames the collection historically and culturally, questioning commonly held assumptions about haiku and laying the groundwork for new ways of seeing the form. Haiku's elusiveness, its resistance to definition, is partly what keeps it Trade Review"This wide-ranging and imaginatively organized collection includes articles by most of the leading practitioners and theorists of global haiku today. It provides a good view of the state of the art now and a sense of how it has developed over the last decades. Highly recommended!" —Janine Beichman, Professor Emerita, Daitō Bunka University "This book is a marvel of ideas, debates, scholarly investigations and inspired readings of the phenomenon of the global haiku. These essays show, dramatically, that this tiny poetic form is marked by its capaciousness and by its tenacious hold on the attention of contemporary poets across the world. The haiku’s apparently simple form teases, baffles, and metamorphoses under the varied lights these essays throw on it. Whether the haiku is a mirror (possibly even an x-ray) of its cultural moment, whether it is a dissident form or a sentimental craft best left to amateurs and siloed communities—are the kinds of questions debated here with passion and precision. As a poet, this is the kind of talking-about-poetry that I yearn to read. The point of this book, though, is not to find answers to whether haiku is a global movement or a local movement, a deeply misunderstood Japanese art-form or a ‘spirit’ that all poets can share, but it is to understand and explore the meanings, ideas, values and desires that inhere in such questions. It is that rare event, a scholarly book that will be taken up gratefully by general readers, students, and poets themselves." —Kevin Brophy, Emeritus Professor, University of Melbourne"An instantly indispensable volume for anyone interested in haiku itself—its own knapsack-journey to far norths, souths, easts, wests, and to deeply human interiors—as well as for anyone interested in the development of current world poetry, whose course was profoundly and permanently altered by haiku's emergence in global translation." —Jane Hirshfield, author of The Heart of Haiku, Ledger, and Ten Windows: How Great Poems Transform the World"This definitive compilation of essays by haikuists, critics and scholars is destined to transform the understanding and appreciation of the myriad modern offshoots—let alone traditional Japanese taproot—of the world’s most popular verseform. Surveying for the first time the influence of haiku on literary arts around the globe over the past century, from Modernism, Imagism and Surrealism to anti-war verse, indigenous people’s resistance poetry, ecological paean and so on, The Routledge Global Haiku Reader sows the seeds of a truly efflorescent epiphany." —Adam L. Kern, author of The Penguin Book of Haiku "The Routledge Global Haiku Reader champions a geopolitically sophisticated approach to haiku studies that cuts through the distortions and exoticisms of the Japan/West binary in which the commentary has been entrenched. The essays span a compelling diversity of haiku situations: compositions in Taiwan and Singapore critical of Japan’s imperialism, by indigenous peoples of America, Japanese-Canadians, or poets in Latin America, Brazil, and Russia. This curiosity, this awareness and exploration of the layered factors of race, myth, and politics as they give impetus to and occasion meaning for haiku poetry is what makes this volume so fresh, so new, and so necessary. This collection blends the dispositions of both poets and scholars to create a commentary that is rigorously informed while insistent upon haiku as a living, active practice that has a present and future." —Arthur Mitchell, Associate Professor, Macalester CollegeTable of ContentsList of Contributors List of Permissions Acknowledgments Introduction I Haiku in Transit 1 Beyond the Haiku Moment: Bashō, Buson, and Modern Haiku Myths 2 Hearn, Bickerton, Hubbell: Translation and Definition 3 Reading an Evening Breeze: Buson’s Hokku in Translation II Haiku and Social Consciousness 4 A Second-Class Art: On Contemporary Haiku 5 From the 2.26 Incident to the Atomic Bombs: Haiku During the Asia-Pacific War 6 New Rising Haiku: The Evolution of Modern Japanese Haiku and the Haiku Persecution Incident 7 Translations and Migrations of the Poetic Diary: Roy Kiyooka’s Wheels III Haiku and Experimentation 8 Ezra Pound, Yone Noguchi, and Imagism 9 Haiku as a Western Genre: Fellow-Traveler of Modernism 10 Marking Time in Native America: Haiku, Elegy, Survival 11 The Disjunctive Dragonfly: A Study of Disjunctive Method and Definitions in Contemporary English-Language Haiku IV The Future of Global Haiku 12 Non-Japanese Haiku Today 13 One Hundred Bridges, One Hundred Traditions in Haiku 14 In the Shade of the Cherry Blossoms: The Reception of Haiku in Post-Soviet Russia 15 From Haiku to the Short Poem: Bridging the Divide 16 Future of World Haiku V Afterword Afterword Bibliography Index

Taylor & Francis Imagination Besieged
Book SynopsisImagination Besieged records the silenced stories of a mediterranean defined by displacement, dispossession, loss, sexual and racial violence. Stories in which the protagonists find ways to express their dissent, sometimes in tragic ways.The book grapples with the legacies of colonialism and the histories of violence that define the past and present of the Mediterranean in the regional artistic and cultural production. According to their viewpoints, artists and writers from the region have described a mediterranean deeply divided, where communities live alienated from each otherâs, and yet similarly affected by the violent process of modernization in the post-war, post-colonial world produced, and its effects on the bodies, the landscape, the environment. Each essay taps into the depth of the archive of the modern mediterranean to bring into the present precisely what this present seeks to conceal.
