For these reasons I h ve thought that , even under of the garb very i nadequate translations , they would consti tute a not unwelcome contribution to contemporary literary study . I am indebted to the courtesy of Harper Brothers for the of privilege including here, in an amplified form , the essay ' ’ ’ ’ o n iosu C arduccz an d tbe Hellen ic eaétzon in I ta G é R ly, which ’ ' fi Har er s M a n e 1 8 0 . appeared rst in p n for July, 9 W A HINGTO .

Such a record lays bare what lies in mostly o f o o r at the heart a people , and has , c nsciously unconsciously , shaped thei r outward life . of or The literature a time reveals , but rarely describes o n analyses, the changes that go in the popular religious beliefs . It is only in a later age , when the religion itself has become desiccated , its creeds and its forms dried and parcelled for o f better preservation , that this analysis is made its passing o f modes, and these again made the subject literary treatment . Few among the existing nations that possess a literature have a history which dates back far enough to embrace these great fundamental changes , such as that from paganism to Christianity , and also a literature that is coeval with those changes . The Hebrew race possess indeed thei r ancient Scriptures , and with them retain their ancient religious ideas . The R ussians and Scandinavians deposed their pagan deities to give place to the White Christ within comparatively recent times, but they can hardly be said to have possessed a l itera l I ’ ' G zosue C ardueez - ture in the. pre Christian period .

Beneath The Invisibility Cloak: Myth And The Modern World View In J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling, best selling author of the Harry Potter series, uses mythology to add layers of meaning to her own creative storylines, to provide insight into the characters and plot, and to subtly foreshadow events to come. Rowling reinvents the old myths referred to in her text by creating surprise twists that are a reversal of the reader’s expectations. Ultimately, Rowling’s reworking of established mythology reveals the author’s own modern perspective about what makes a hero, the power of choice, and the nature of evil.

Jeong -yeob Park [email protected] 1Q21 review : Above our Revenue of W178.3bn (+28.7% YoY), OP of W21.7bn (+9.2% YoY) expectations and in line with While there were no offline performances or album releases (except for TXT in Japan) in the consensus quarter, merchandising/licensing revenue was strong. Direct revenue was W67.5bn (-24.1% YoY), not far off from our estimate (W70.8bn), affected by a lull in artist activities. Indirect revenue surprised at W110.8bn (+123.4% YoY), as merchandising sales remained steady even in the absence of activities. Despite a 12%p QoQ rise in the indirect revenue mix, OP margin declined to 12.2% (-2.2%p YoY, -5.6% QoQ). This was largely due to the absence of activities and one-off expenses related to the company’s office relocation, name change, and M&A, and is thus not a cause for concern.

Wie soll der Kinderzunge lallend Streben Aussprechen, was des Mannes Kraft gesungen? Wie soll des Menschen Stimme wiedergeben, Was aus der tiefen Götterbrust entsprungen?

  • Milton and the Politics of Orphic Enchantment
    Milton and the Politics of Orphic Enchantment Martin Dawes Department of English, McGill University, Montreal. August, 2009. A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Ph.D. © Martin Dawes 2009 2 Abstract While Milton‟s ambivalence towards myth has been attributed to pagan- Christian tension or to pressure from a utilitarian culture, I argue that his poetical struggle with Orpheus the enchanting bard is equally political. His attraction to the divinely gifted singer, evident in his juvenilia, was tempered by the need to take account of the myth‟s royalist currency as a figure for the ordering power of monarchy. The court masque epitomized an art of Orphic enchantment designed to spellbind the audience – an art antithetical to Milton‟s quest for a collaborative readership empowered to choose citizenship over subjection. Growing dissident under Charles I, he rejected this royalist art of mastery along with the traditional union of bard and king. Milton used Ovidian irony to reposition Orpheus within a dialogical poetics of engagement that might inspire readers to realize their god-given freedom. I trace the development of Milton‟s poetics to show that, in search of a mutually beneficial relation between artists and audiences, governors and peoples, his poetry weighs Orphic enchantment against more dialogical models. I demonstrate how the more secular poems link the pursuit of Orphic art to escapism and question the passivity of the enchanted audience, implying that we open ourselves all too readily to political subjection. Milton takes on royalist art by gesturing towards a poetics that awakens others to social action.
