I‟m delighted that we are reaching an ever wider and increasingly international audience. Poetry in this issue comes from Italy, Argentina the USA, Canada and the UK. We have readers in Europe, North America, Jamaica, Australia … and the generous contributions from our poets around the globe shows no sign of slowing down, either – quite the opposite, in fact, which is a gratifying indication that we must be doing something right! One issue that prompted me to set up this journal in the first place was the problem of finding a readership for new Latin verse: „Who reads Latin Poems written in these days!‟ wrote Walter Savage Landor‟s exasperated brother in 1820, scarcely able to believe his brother would waste his talents on such a quixotic endeavour, and the situation can hardly be said to have improved since then.

  • Romantic Ekphrasis and the Intellectual Culture of Sensibility
    Romantic Ekphrasis and the Intellectual Culture of Sensibility by Jennifer Emily O’Kell A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate English Department University of Toronto © Copyright by Jennifer Emily O’Kell (2016) Romantic Ekphrasis and the Intellectual Culture of Sensibility Jennifer Emily O’Kell Doctor of Philosophy Graduate English Department University of Toronto 2016 Abstract This thesis examines the intersection of poetry about art, the culture of sensibility, and eighteenth-century aesthetic thought in Romantic literature. These converging discourses allowed poets to suggest insights into the necessary conditions of sympathetic exchange, and the limits of what sympathy can accomplish. This thesis proposes ambitious changes to our understanding of Romantic ekphrasis in order to offer a subtle but crucial change to our understanding of the culture of sensibility. It considers a broad range of Romantic ekphrases – some well-known poems by Wordsworth, Keats, and Shelley, and some largely unstudied poems by Cowper, Mary Russell Mitford, Henry Hart Milman, Barry Cornwall, and others – reading these texts against multiple historical contexts. One of these contexts is the eighteenth-century idea that the visual arts represent only a single, “pregnant” moment, whereas literature represents successions of events. Moral philosophy and the philosophy of the sister arts are bound up with one another throughout the eighteenth century; David Hume’s formulation of sympathy as instinctive and visual comes to be associated with painting and sculpture, while Adam Smith’s formulation of it as an imagined reconstruction comes to be associated with literature. Another key context is the ekphrastic tradition, especially its understudied eighteenth-century portion.

  • F:\Wesley\Poetry and Hymns\John Wesley Files\Published Collections
    Arminian Magazine (1785–91)1 [Baker list, #376–84] Editorial Introduction: In 1778 John Wesley began publishing the Arminian Magazine. He had witnessed the success of Calvinist journals like the Christian Magazine and Gospel Magazine, and wanted to provide an alternative monthly publication that would affirm and defend God’s universal offer of salvation. Each monthly installment of the Arminian Magazine had three major sections. First came a prose section that included sermons, spiritual biographies, excerpts from theological tracts, and the like. This was followed by a selection of letters (most written to Wesley) that were judged to be spiritually edifying. The concluding pages of each issue were devoted to poetry. In the first year, as he sought to highlight the distinctive emphases of the Arminian Magazine, John Wesley reprinted nine of Charles Wesley’s polemical poems against predestination from the Hymns on God’s Everlasting Love (1741/42), and one other in this vein from HSP (1740), 136–42. He also began to publish (without attribution) a series of other poems by Charles that had not appeared in print before. Nor was Charles the only family member to appear in the initial volume. The very first item of verse was Samuel Wesley Sr.’s extended piece “Eupolis’s Hymn to the Creator” (1:39ff). A bit later John inserted a poem by Samuel Wesley Jr. honoring their father (1:141–42). And he also included six poems by their sister Mehetabel (neé Wesley) Wright; one of which was being published for the first time (see 1:186ff). In addition to items by family members, John Wesley inserted in the early volumes of the Arminian Magazine several poems that had been long-time personal favorites, drawing them from transcriptions in the manuscript Poetry Miscellany he collected during his student days at Oxford.

Avtjj New asra opens in the history ot the poet, from an incident that gave fresh ardour and vivacity to his fertile imagination. In 1781, he became acquainted with a lady, highly accomplished her self, and singularly happy in animating and direct ing the fancy of her poetical friends. The world will perfectly agree with me in this eulogy, when I add, that to this lady we are primarily indebted for the poem of the Task, for the ballad of John Gilpin, and for the translation of Homer. But in my lively «ense of her merit, I am almost forgetting my imme- VOL. 2. A diaje duty, as the biographer of the poet, to intro duce her circumstantially to the acquaintance of my reader.

    EnterText 2.2 JOHN GILMORE Parrots, Poets and Philosophers: Language and Empire in the Eighteenth Century Tile: Delft c.1890, with a design used from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries [Author’s collection] If you go to Westminster Abbey and visit the selection of the Abbey’s treasures on display in the undercroft, you can see an extraordinary selection of funeral effigies, originally intended for display on the coffins of the royal and noble dead they commemorate. Among them is that of “La Belle Stuart,” Frances Stuart (1647-1702), Duchess of Richmond and Lennox, one of the celebrated beauties of the court of John Gilmore: Parrots, Poets and Philosophers 84 EnterText 2.2 Charles II, though she survived long enough to attend the coronation of Queen Anne. Her effigy wears the robes she wore on that occasion, and displayed beside her is her parrot. Reputed to be the oldest stuffed parrot in England—perhaps in the British Isles—it makes, in this location, an incongruous reminder of the importance these birds once enjoyed as status symbols and tokens of the exotic. The parrots you see down at your local pet shop, somewhere between the aquariums, the dog food and the kitty litter, don’t have quite the same aristocratic allure. But the parrot as status symbol goes back the best part of two millennia before La Belle Stuart, herself something of a bird of gorgeous plumage. While this short paper cannot give a complete cultural history of the parrot, it does look at a few examples of parrots in poetry, and tries to show how these function as imitation, translation and cultural transfer, and what they might suggest about language and empire in the eighteenth century.
