The European voices that William B. Yeats and Sir Geoffrey Hill choose to resurrect reflect their shared hope in the future of humanity, as the essays in this book demonstrate. From Greek and Roman voices, through the Italian Renaissance and into our troubled present, these poets use myth, as Auden suggested, «to make private experiences public» and «public events personal». They write about the past to maintain continuity and provide the transmission of cultural values or to avoid the repetition of atrocities. As visionary poets, their talents at reviving the poetic voice captivate and inspire. The essays in this volume elucidate both their poetic vision and resistance.\u003cbr\u003e The chapters in this book derive from an international conference on Yeats and Hill that took place at the Institut Catholique de Paris in 2013. They are preceded by abstracts and a general introduction in French.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Elizabeth Muller: «Unity of Being»: Dantean Echoes in Yeats’s Aesthetics – Jean-Baptiste Picy: Approaching Dionysus: Yeats and Pater’s Instinctive Difference – Brian Arkins: The Theme of Opposites: Yeats and Oedipus – Peter McDonald: Gaiety and Dread: Late Yeats and Hill – Colbert Kearney: Yeats in Time to Be – Jennifer Kilgore-Caradec: Yeats, Pound, Eliot, Péguy, Hill – Susan Ang: The «Pindarics» as \u003ci\u003eEnigma Variations\u003c\/i\u003e: Pavese and Hill in formal conversation – Peter Behrman de Sinéty: «Nothing broken»: translated Europeans in Geoffrey Hill’s \u003ci\u003eOrchards of Syon \u003c\/i\u003e–\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eKenneth Haynes: On Péguy: An Interview with Geoffrey Hill.","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043638280535,"sku":"9783034316897","price":47.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783034316897.jpg?v=1750958973","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/european-voices-in-the-poetry-of-w-b-yeats-and-geoffrey-hill-9783034316897","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
