Sinopsis del Libro

Libro The Dramatic Imagination of Robert Browning

The Dramatic Imagination of Robert Browning offers an accessible and authoritative guide to the essentials of Robert Browning's life and poetry. Drawing from his personal letters and from the diaries and memoirs of his contemporaries, this literary biography provides a wealth of information about the main events of his life, including the social, political, religious, and aesthetic issues that concerned him; it offers critical commentary defining the central characteristics of his poetry; and it tracks the changes in his reputation through contemporary reviews and the growth of the Browning societies. An English poet who was deeply responsive to European culture and affairs, Robert Browning has sometimes been dismissed by modern readers for his obscurity or roughness of language. Now two distinguished scholars of Browning's work trace the arc of his development as an artist and thinker from his earliest poems to the last in his long and remarkably productive career. The authors illustrate how Browning moved from describing “incidents in the development of a soul,” to developing his reader's soul as collaborator in the artistic process, to the development of his own soul in the making of poetry. Through a fresh reading of not only his poetry but also the letters of both Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, they have garnered details that situate the two in historical context, provide a vivid sense of Robert's personality, and also correct biases against Elizabeth's influence. Their critical commentary focuses on the poet's dramatic imagination and argues that his extensive body of work after The Ring and the Book—often dismissed as evidencing a decline in his poetic powers—represented new directions in his poetry marked by inventive dialogue, verbal puzzles, and virtuoso rhyming. Written to appeal to both general readers and scholars, the book will enable anyone to read Browning's poems with a firm sense of the subjects and practices that are central to his texts, along with a knowledge of their context in the poet's life and thought. The Dramatic Imagination of Robert Browning invites readers of a singular body of poetry to achieve a new understanding of Browning's work and a greater appreciation of his life.

San Juan de la Cruz

Libro San Juan de la Cruz

Este libro sobre san Juan de la Cruz es una novedad, a pesar de que es difícil ofrecer material desconocido al tratar un tema sobre el que se han escrito miles de páginas de menuda y apretada letra. Por primera vez se citan a casi todos los autores devotos del s. XVI que acompañaron al santo en su peregrinar. En ellos se pueden encontrar posibles fuentes e influencias. Son innumerables pistas para realizar estudios comparativos. Por primera vez se ordenan de un modo cronológico y sistemático los poemas que se inspiran en san Juan de la Cruz y forman la escuela poética sanjuanista.

Autobiography of Thomas Guthrie

Libro Autobiography of Thomas Guthrie

Excerpt from Autobiography of Thomas Guthrie: And Memoir by His Sons, Rev. David K. Guthrie and Charles J. Guthrie Our first care was naturally with the Autobiography. Being unfinished and never revised, it became a question whether it should be published separately and as a frag ment, or incorporated with a completed memoir. The former was deemed the better course. For the sake of convenience, it has been broken up into chapters, and a few short notes appended but no alterations have been made in the text save such as seemed unavoidable from the circumstances, that Dr. Guthrie was prevented...

La entrañable desgracia de ser venezolano

Libro La entrañable desgracia de ser venezolano

Amiga lectora, amigo lector, tal vez usted tenga en sus manos un ejemplar de este librito atraído por un título que conjuga dos palabras que sólo en el juicio de un desquiciado podrían conciliarse. Pues bien, para que usted y yo podamos entendernos o no, pero sobre todo para que quede claro de qué estoy hablando, permítame decirle, en primer lugar, que no se trata de un libelo. Nada más lejos de mi interés que pretender denigrar o infamar a mi país, ni a mi gentilicio. Tampoco es un escrito satírico que aspira ponerlo en ridículo y desde luego, ni muchísimo menos un texto de...

La obra no escrita

Libro La obra no escrita

Uno de los filósofos españoles en los que se cumple la simultaneidad de su conocimiento y de su desconocimiento es Nicolás Salmerón. Y lo es en tanto y en cuanto su labor ha sido notable y significativa no solo para la filosofía española sino para el conjunto de la sociedad de este país, por su carácter multidisciplinar; pero también lo es por ser la suya una trayectoria donde no existen demasiados textos escritos de su puño y letra en torno a la filosofía sino, como decimos, un amplio trabajo práctico sobre el que es necesario un nuevo análisis para absorber una visión de...
