The eighteenth century was replete with poetry which celebrated the rural English countryside as the epitome of pristine beauty. They amalgamated elements of the pastoral and georgics to picture the rural landscape and living as humanity’s ideal goal. Georgics chiefly described specifically named actual localities, but in the eighteenth century, along with describing the natural scenery they usually also gave information about specific rural subject matters giving genre sketches and brief histories of the resident people and their livelihood. The georgics get their name from Virgil’s classical Latin composition ‘‘Georgics’’ which presented agricultural themes and celebrates peaceful rural nature. With John Dryden’s translation of Virgil’s Georgics in 1697, meant for a quintessentially urban literate readership, the rural themes garnered a renewed attention in poetry all throughout the eighteenth century. Some famous instances of Augustan poetry which thematically work around and adapt the georgics are Alexander Pope’s ‘‘Windsor Forest’’ and Thomson’s ‘‘The Seasons’’.
  • The Intermediate World: a Key Concept in Beautiful Thinking

    The Intermediate World: a Key Concept in Beautiful Thinking

    Open Philosophy 2018; 1: 50–58 Dorthe Jørgensen* The Intermediate World: A Key Concept in Beautiful Thinking https://doi.org/10.1515/opphil-2018-0005 Received February 28, 2018; accepted April 25, 2018 Abstract: The term ‘the intermediate world’ is a key concept in Den skønne tænkning (Beautiful Thinking) and the metaphysics of experience presented by this book. The metaphysics of experience is about the experiences of transcendence and beautiful thinking that take place in the intermediate world. In the article “The Intermediate World,” this subject is introduced through a discussion of thoughts and concepts formulated by Paul Klee (Zwischenwelt), Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten (beautiful thinking), Aristotle (phantasia), Immanuel Kant (expanded thinking), Mark C. Taylor (imagination), and Eugenio Trías (the limit). The text depicts the intermediate world as the level of experience at which the understanding does not yet distinguish between subject and object. The intermediate world is thus not a realm between human and world, nor is it something outside the world we know. The intermediate world is rather the present world in its most original state: the ‘place’ where we find the source of all experience and cognition, a source called ‘basic experience’ characterized by sensation, faith, and comprehension. In this realm, imagination is active and takes the form of an objective force rather than a subjective mental power. Imagination opens mind and world, thus allowing not-yet- actualized possibilities to become perceivable. Keywords: experience, metaphysics, Klee, aesthetics, imagination, Baumgarten, sensitivity, Trías, limit, thinking 1 Introduction The expression ‘beautiful thinking’ derives from §1 in Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten’s Aesthetica.

  • Adam Mickiewicz's

    Adam Mickiewicz's

    Readings - a journal for scholars and readers Volume 1 (2015), Issue 2 Adam Mickiewicz’s “Crimean Sonnets” – a clash of two cultures and a poetic journey into the Romantic self Olga Lenczewska, University of Oxford The paper analyses Adam Mickiewicz’s poetic cycle ‘Crimean Sonnets’ (1826) as one of the most prominent examples of early Romanticism in Poland, setting it across the background of Poland’s troubled history and Mickiewicz’s exile to Russia. I argue that the context in which Mickiewicz created the cycle as well as the final product itself influenced the way in which Polish Romanticism developed and matured. The sonnets show an internal evolution of the subject who learns of his Romantic nature and his artistic vocation through an exploration of a foreign land, therefore accompanying his physical journey with a spiritual one that gradually becomes the main theme of the ‘Crimean Sonnets’. In the first part of the paper I present the philosophy of the European Romanticism, situate it in the Polish historical context, and describe the formal structure of the Crimean cycle. In the second part of the paper I analyse five selected sonnets from the cycle in order to demonstrate the poetic journey of the subject-artist, centred around the epistemological difference between the Classical concept of ‘knowing’ and the Romantic act of ‘exploring’. Introduction The purpose of this essay is to present Adam Mickiewicz's “Crimean Sonnets” cycle – a piece very representative of early Polish Romanticism – in the light of the social and historical events that were crucial for the rise of Romantic literature in Poland, with Mickiewicz as a prize example.

DESCRIPTORS Educational History; English Curriculum; English Instruction; Higher Education; *Intellectual History; *Rhetorical Theory; *Writing (Composition); *Writing Instruction IDENTIFIERS *Classical Rhetoric; *Composition Theory; Historical Background; Poststructuralism ABSTRACT Based on the idea that an individual cannot understand literature, philosophy, or rhetoric without knowing the field's historical content, this book traces the evolution of the growing and ever-changing field of composition/rhetoric through numerous schools of thought, including Platonism, Aristoteleanism, New Criticism, and the current poststructuralism. After a discussion of the main themes of classical rhetoric, the book offers a historical analysis of the rhetoric of 18th and 19th centuries, focusing briefly on the works of George Campbell, Hugh Blair, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. The book divides the current field of composition/rhetoric into five categories: current-traditio:. 1 rhetoric, romantic rhetoric, neo-classical rhetoric, new rhetoric, and new stylistics. An entire chapter in the book is devoted to the work of I. A. Richards and Kenneth Burke. The final chapter of the book offers an analysis of poststructuralism influence on composition--discussing New Criticism, deconstruction, feminist criticism, and postmodernism.

    2006 Abstracts

    Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies Session Many of us in the field of modern Jewish studies have felt the need for an active working group interested in discussing our various projects, papers, and books, particularly as we develop into more mature scholars. Even more, we want to engage other committed scholars and respond to their new projects, concerns, and methodological approaches to the study of modern Jews and Judaism, broadly construed in terms of period and place. To this end, since 2001, we have convened a “Works in Progress Group in Modern Jewish Studies” that meets yearly in connection with the Association for Jewish Studies Annual Conference on the Saturday night preceding the conference. The purpose of this group is to gather interested scholars together and review works in progress authored by members of the group and distributed and read prior to the AJS meeting. 2006 will be the sixth year of a formal meeting within which we have exchanged ideas and shared our work with peers in a casual, constructive environment. This Works in Progress Group is open to all scholars working in any discipline within the field of modern Jewish studies. We are a diverse group of scholars committed to engaging others and their works in order to further our own projects, those of our colleagues, and the critical growth of modern Jewish studies. Papers will be distributed in November. To participate in the Works in Progress Group, please contact: Todd Hasak-Lowy, email: [email protected] or Adam Shear, email: [email protected] Co-Chairs: Todd S.

Fighting Cock Press came into being in 1996 when Mabel Ferrett and Pauline Kirk began to collaborate in publishing high-quality literary works, and provides an outlet for the poetry and artwork of Pennine Poets as well as poetry and short stories by other Northern writers. Grants from the the National Lottery and Arts Council have enabled the Press to publish anthologies of poetry, prose and artwork, and to advise and support more than a hundred writers. Pennine Poets is a group of published writers who meet for regular creative writing workshops, stage readings and festivals. The group was founded at Elland Library in 1966, and was based for many years at the home of Mabel Ferrett in Heckmondwike. As well Mabel Ferrett and Pauline Kirk, the founders of Fighting Cock Press, the Poets include Andrew Boobier, John Cook, Julia Deakin, Simon Currie, Ian Emberson, Lesley Quayle, K.E.
