    Czech Portraits Friday, Mar. 4 10:30am Vítězslav NovákNovák, Czech composer (1870-1949) Vítězslav Novák held an almost “cult status” popu- larity among his native Czech people. Like his mentor Antonín Dvořák, he used thematic mate- rial from Czech folk melodies in his music and was inspired by the landscape of his native country in South Bohemia. In 1908 he succeeded Dvořák as professor of composition at the Prague Conserva- tory and helped lead the next generation of Czech composers into the new age. Lady Godiva Overture Composed in 1907, duration is 15 minutes This piece was commissioned to open a Czech play of the same name and is taken from a 13th century story about the noble-hearted and beautiful Lady REPERTOIRE Godiva. It tells the story of the Lady’s efforts to end the suffering and oppression of the people in Coventry under her husband’s rule, Count Leofric.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract. This thesis examines the influence of David Hume’s History of England during the century of its greatest popularity. It explores how far the long-term fortunes of Hume’s text matched his original aims for the work. Hume’s success in creating a classic popular narrative is demonstrated, but is contrasted with the History's failure to promote the polite ’coalition of parties’ he wished for. Whilst showing that Hume’s popularity contributed to tempering some of the teleological excesses of the ’whig version’ of English history, it is stressed that his work signally failed in dampening ’Whig’/ ’Tory’ conflict. Rather than provide a new frame of reference for British politics, as Hume had intended, the History was absorbed into national political culture as a ’Tory’ text - with important consequences for Hume’s general reputation as a thinker.

  • Review of Heather Clark, the Grief of Influence: Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes
    Plath Profiles 379 Review of Heather Clark, The Grief of Influence: Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes. New York: Oxford University Press, 2011. 328 pages, $99. Amanda Golden, Emory University In the past decade, Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes scholars have responded to the publication of Plath's Unabridged Journals (2000), the Restored Ariel (2004), and the Ted Hughes collection at Emory University.1 In 2005, Karen V. Kukil and Stephen C. Enniss curated "No Other Appetite": Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes, and The Blood Jet of Poetry, a joint exhibition of materials from the Sylvia Plath Collection at Smith College and the Hughes papers and library at Emory held at the Grolier Club in Manhattan.2 The fall of 2010 witnessed The New Statesman's publication of Hughes's "Last Letter," a manuscript from the British Library's Birthday Letters materials.3 While critics may have once considered Plath's and Hughes's oeuvres separately, Heather Clark's The Grief of Influence: Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes underscores that they are inextricably linked. In The Grief of Influence, Clark provides insightful new interpretations of the role of Plath and Hughes's rivalry in their development as poets. Clark's study updates Diane Middlebrook's Her Husband: Hughes and Plath, A Marriage (2003) and Clark adopts a version of Harold Bloom's "anxiety of influence" in order to examine ways the ways that Plath and Hughes responded to each other's work.4 Clark's study responds 1 I would like to thank Emory University's Fox Center for Humanistic Inquiry whose Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Poetics enabled my completion of this review.

It is evident that in contemporary international relations theory he has become emblematic of a realist tradition, but as David Armitage suggests this was not always the case. I want to suggest that it is only in a very limited sense that he may be regarded as a foundational thinker in international relations, and for reasons very different from those for which he has become infamous.

  • Edward Lear's Lines of Flight
    Journal of the British Academy, 1, 31–69. DOI 10.5871/jba/001.031 Posted 18 July 2013. © The British Academy 2013 Edward Lear’s lines of flight Chatterton Lecture on Poetry read 1 November 2012 by MATTHEW BEVIS Abstract: ‘Verily I am an odd bird’, Edward Lear wrote in his diary in 1860. This article examines a range of odd encounters between birds and people in Lear’s paint­ ings, illustrations, and poems. It considers how his interest in birds—an interest at once scientific and aesthetic—helped to shape his nonsense writings. I suggest that poetic and pictorial lines of flight became, for Lear, a means of exploring the claims that art might make on our attention. Keywords: Edward Lear, poetry, painting, flight, birds, Charles Darwin, nonsense, evolution, Alfred Tennyson. until now I never knew That fluttering things have so distinct a shade. Wallace Stevens, ‘Le Monocle de Mon Oncle’ (1918) ‘If you cannot tell me how the shadows of the blessed jackdaws will fall I don’t know what I shall do’, wrote Edward Lear to William Holman Hunt in 1852.1 The poet’s feeling for the life of things was often enhanced by his regard for their fleeting effects. ‘Myriads of pigeons!’, he later exclaimed, ‘And when they fly, their shadows on the ground!’2 Notwithstanding the lessons of Plato’s cave, shadows, for Lear, inhabit the realm of the knowable; they are not simply a mistake, or a deception, or a diversion from the real. At once copies and reanimations, shadows may also stand as an analogue for art.

I have put it second in the pair because that is its right place. Criticisms, com^ ments, interpretations, are of comparatively little use until you have read the poetry of which they treat. Like photographs of places that one has not seen, they lack the reviving, realizing touch of remembrance. The book contains a series of essays, written at dif- ferent times, printed separately in different places, and collected, substantially, in a book called The Poetry of Tennyson, which was fortunate enough to find many friends, and has now, I believe, gone out of print.

  • Publishing Swinburne; the Poet, His Publishers and Critics
    UNIVERSITY OF READING Publishing Swinburne; the poet, his publishers and critics. Vol. 1: Text Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English Language and Literature Clive Simmonds May 2013 1 Abstract This thesis examines the publishing history of Algernon Charles Swinburne during his lifetime (1837-1909). The first chapter presents a detailed narrative from his first book in 1860 to the mid 1870s: it includes the scandal of Poems and Ballads in 1866; his subsequent relations with the somewhat dubious John Camden Hotten; and then his search to find another publisher who was to be Andrew Chatto, with whom Swinburne published for the rest of his life. It is followed by a chapter which looks at the tidal wave of criticism generated by Poems and Ballads but which continued long after, and shows how Swinburne responded. The third and central chapter turns to consider the periodical press, important throughout his career not just for reviewing but also as a very significant medium for publishing poetry. Chapter 4 on marketing looks closely at the business of producing and of selling Swinburne’s output. Finally Chapter 5 deals with some aspects of his career after the move to Putney, and shows that while Theodore Watts, his friend and in effect his agent, was making conscious efforts to reshape the poet, some of Swinburne’s interests were moving with the tide of public taste; how this was demonstrated in particular by his volume of Selections and how his poetic oeuvre was finally consolidated in the Collected Edition at the end of his life.

OF CANADA, LTD. TORONTO ONE HUNDRED POEMS OF KABIR TRANSLATED BY RABINDRANATH TAGORE ASSISTED BY EVELYN UNDERBILL MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED ST. MARTIN'S STREET, LONDON 1915 COPYRIGHT 688073 INTRODUCTION THE poet Kabir, a selection from whose songs is here for the first time offered to English readers, is one of the most interesting personalities in the history of Indian mysticism. Born in or near Benares, of Mohammedan parents, and probably about the year 1440, he became in early life a disciple of the celebrated Hindu ascetic Rama- nanda. Ramananda had brought to Northern India the religious revival which Ramanuja, the great twelfth- century reformer of Brahmanism, had initiated in the South. I This revival was in part a reaction against the increasing formalism of the orthodox vi KABIR'S POEMS cult, in part an assertion of the de- mands of the heart as against the intense intellectualism of the Vedanta philosophy, the exaggerated monism which that philosophy proclaimed. It took in Ramanuja's preaching the form of an ardent personal devotion to the God Vishnu, as representing the personal aspect of the Divine " Nature : that mystical religion of " love which everywhere makes its appearance at a certain level of spiritual culture, and which creeds and philosophies are powerless to kill. Though such a devotion is in- digenous in Hinduism, and finds expression in many passages of the Bhagavad Gita, there was in its mediaeval revival a large element of syncretism.

  • 'A Flute of Arcady': Autograph Poems of Tennyson's Friend, Arthur Henry Hallam
    'A FLUTE OF ARCADY': AUTOGRAPH POEMS OF TENNYSON'S FRIEND, ARTHUR HENRY HALLAM ROGER EVANS And all we met was fair and good, And all was good that Time could bring. And all the secret of the Spring Moved in the chambers of the blood: And many an old philosophy On Argive heights divinely sang. And round us all the thicket rang To many a flute of Arcady. Tennyson, In Memoriam A.H.H., Section 23 ALTHOUGH Arthur Henry Hallam (fig. i) is granted a column and a half in the pages of the Dictionary of National Biography, he remains a tenuous shade in the national memory. He achieved no conventional academic distinction or position of political or social prominence, he left little that may be called ground-breaking and he fathered no progeny, worthy or otherwise. This said, his early death at the age of twenty-two so profoundly shook the greatest poet of the Victorian age, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and its greatest prime minister, W. E. Gladstone, he was a living presence in their memory to the end of their long lives. More importantly for us, he is a presence in the canon of English literature to be equated with Lycidas and Adonais, for he was the subject of one of the most sustainedly moving elegies in our language, Tennyson's In Memoriam A.H.H. In March 1998 the British Library acquired one of Hallam's notebooks, the most extensive collection of his poetry in his hand to survive and by far the most personal.^ It is a slim volume of some seventy folios, bound in now fragile calf boards, much of the spine gone but with the stitching intact and showing no evidence of having lost any folios except for one which is a mere stub.
