The Image of the Feminine in the Poetry of W.B. Yeats and Angelos Sikelianos
Author: Anastasia Psoni
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527523802
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
Modernism, as a powerful movement, saw the literary and artistic traditions, as well as pure science, starting to evolve radically, creating a crisis, even chaos, in culture and society. Within this chaos, myth offered an ordered picture of that world employing symbolic and poetic images. Both W.B. Yeats and Angelos Sikelianos embraced myth and symbols because they liberate imagination and raise human consciousness, bringing together humans and the cosmos. Being opposed to the rigidity of scientific materialism that inhibits spiritual development, the two poets were waiting for a new age and a new religion, expecting that they, themselves, would inspire their community and usher in the change. In their longing for a new age, archaeology was a magnetic field for Yeats and Sikelianos, as it was for many writers and thinkers. After Sir Arthur Evans’s discovery of the Minoan Civilization where women appeared so peacefully prominent, the dream of re-creating a gynocentric mythology was no longer a fantasy. In Yeats’s and Sikelianos’s gynocentric mythology, the feminine figure appears in various forms and, like in a drama, it plays different roles. Significantly, a gynocentric mythology permeates the work of the two poets and this mythology is of pivotal importance in their poetry, their poetics and even in their life as the intensity of their creative desire brought to them female personalities to inspire and guide them. Indeed, in Yeats’s and Sikelianos’s gynocentric mythology, the image of the feminine holds a place within a historical context taking the reader into a larger social, political and religious space.

Census of Modern Greek Literature
Author: Dia Mary L. Philippides
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
The CENSUS OF MODERN GREEK LITERATURE aims at presenting, to English speakers, references to the works of Greek authors translated into English & to the critical essays written in English on modern Greek literature within the period 1824-1987. The literature included in the check-list ranges from approximately the eleventh century to the present day. This accords in scope & outline with the HISTORY OF MODERN GREEK LITERATURE by Linos Politis (Oxford University Press, 1973). The check-list includes all the appropriate material that the compiler was able to find in libraries & bibliographies from several countries. It is divided into seven chapters: Bibliographical Sources, Journals (regularly containing material in English from modern Greek literature), Special Issues of Journals (dedicated for a single time to modern Greek literature), Anthologies, Books of Collected Essays, Literary History (containing general histories of modern Greek literature, most of the literary material preceding the nineteenth century, & critical essays referring to more than a single author), Authors (listing the authors of the nineteenth & twentieth centuries alphabetically by their last names). "Philippides' book will be an indispensable guide for all English-speaking teachers & students of modern Greek literature."--(Peter Mackridge, Oxford University).
