Metaphysical Shadows
Author: Sean H. McDowell
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1793635447
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
Metaphysical Shadows: The Persistence of Donne, Herbert, Vaughan, and Marvell in Contemporary Poetry examines the ways in which the poetry of John Donne, George Herbert, Henry Vaughan, and Andrew Marvell continues to speak to working poets today. Modern Anglophone poets, from T. S. Eliot and Archibald MacLeish in the 1920s and 1930s to Seamus Heaney, Maureen Boyle, Alfred Corn, Anne Cluysenaar, Kimberly Johnson, and Jericho Brown in the twenty-first century, have found in the work of John Donne, George Herbert, Henry Vaughan, and Andrew Marvell a strikingly modern intellectualism, an emotional intensity, and a verbal richness that have inspired their own poems. Traces of this inspiration appear in echoes, allusions, direct responses, and similarities in approach and method as poets create new work in their own distinct voices. Such contemporary engagements furnish us with cues for how literary studies might approach the literature of the past without sacrificing it in the name of critique. They also demonstrate the continuing relevance of seventeenth-century English metaphysical poetry in the twenty-first century. The poems of Donne, Herbert, Vaughan, and Marvell still have the power to cast shadows.

The Notion of Turning in Metaphysical Poetry
Author: Carmen Dörge
Publisher: LIT Verlag Münster
ISBN: 3643909918
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
In "Metaphysical Poetry", there is an emphasis on religious experience, which often touches on diverse kinds of turning. Among them are religious conversion (a turn to God), spatial movement (turning in space), divine transformation (turning from one kind into another), musical tuning (turning as a requisite for harmony) and circular turning. Moreover, there is a strong link between turning and its realisation through the language of the poems. Focusing on John Donne and George Herbert, this study explores various aspects of turning, as well as their interrelation. Dissertation. (Series: Religion and Literature / Religion und Literatur, Vol. 7) [Subject: Poetry]

Wolf and Coyote Trapping: An Up-to-Date Wolf Hunter's Guide
Author: A. R. Harding
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
This book contains much value to those who expect to follow the business of catching wolves and coyotes. For while there are certain wild animals which when hard pressed by severe cold and hunger, will raid the farmers and ranchmen's yards, killing fowls and stock, none will destroy so much stock as wolves and coyotes as they largely live upon the property of farmers, settlers and ranchmen to which they add game as they can get it. While these animals are trapped, shot, poisoned, hunted with dogs, etc., their numbers, in some states, seem to be on the increase rather than the decrease in face of the fact that heavy bounties are offered. The fact that wolf and coyote scalps command a bounty, in many states, and in addition their pelts are valuable, makes the hunting and trapping of these animals of no little importance. One thing that has helped to keep the members of these "howlers" so numerous is the fact that they are among the shrewdest animals in America.
