Book Description
The Poetics of Enclosure provocatively explores interconnections between Dickinson, Moore, H.D., Brooks, Bishop, and Dove in the dual context of their manipulations of the traditional lyric and use of shared images of enclosure ... With frequent reference to male as well as female influences and to poets marginalized by sexuality or race, Wheeler usefully refines what she argues is particular to these poets' shared lyric practices and concerns, and links those concerns to other poetic traditions. --Christianne Miller.

Constructing Building Enclosures
Author: Clifton Fordham
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000081842
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
Constructing Building Enclosures investigates and interrogates tensions that arose between the disciplines of architecture and engineering as they wrestled with technology and building cultures that evolved to deliver structures in the modern era. At the center of this history are inventive architects, engineers and projects that did not settle for conventional solutions, technologies and methods. Comprised of thirteen original essays by interdisciplinary scholars, this collection offers a critical look at the development and the purpose of building technology within a design framework. Through two distinct sections, the contributions first challenge notions of the boundaries between architecture, engineering and construction. The authors then investigate twentieth-century building projects, exploring technological and aesthetic boundaries of postwar modernism and uncovering lessons relevant to enclosure design that are typically overlooked. Projects include Louis Kahn’s Weiss House, Minoru Yamasaki’s Science Center, Sigurd Lewerentz’s Chapel of Hope and more. An important read for students, educators and researchers within architectural history, construction history, building technology and design, this volume sets out to disrupt common assumptions of how we understand this history.

The Closure of Space in Roman Poetics
Author: Victoria Rimell
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316368602
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
This ambitious book investigates a major yet underexplored nexus of themes in Roman cultural history: the evolving tropes of enclosure, retreat and compressed space within an expanding, potentially borderless empire. In Roman writers' exploration of real and symbolic enclosures - caves, corners, villas, bathhouses, the 'prison' of the human body itself - we see the aesthetic, philosophical and political intersecting in fascinating ways, as the machine of empire is recast in tighter and tighter shapes. Victoria Rimell brings ideas and methods from literary theory, cultural studies and philosophy to bear on an extraordinary range of ancient texts rarely studied in juxtaposition, from Horace's Odes, Virgil's Aeneid and Ovid's Ibis, to Seneca's Letters, Statius' Achilleid and Tacitus' Annals. A series of epilogues puts these texts in conceptual dialogue with our own contemporary art world, and emphasizes the role Rome's imagination has played in the history of Western thinking about space, security and dwelling.

Marvell and Liberty
Author: Martin Dzelzainis
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230376991
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
Marvell and Liberty is a collection of original essays by leading scholars which treats this major poet in an entirely new light. Uniquely, it gives equal attention to the full range of Marvell's writings. Marvell is a writer deeply implicated in the history of his time, and as the essays in this volume show, also exercised a potent political influence after his death. Marvell and Liberty constitutes a major reassessment of a figure who lived much of his life close to the epicentre of the revolutionary upheavals of the seventeenth century.
