  • Poems About Poets
    1 BYRON’S POEMS ABOUT POETS Some of the funniest of Byron’s poems spring with seeming spontaneity from his pen in the middle of his letters. Much of this section comes from correspondence, though there is some formal verse. Several pieces are parodies, some one-off squibs, some full-length. Byron’s distaste for most of the poets of his day shines through, with the recurrent and well-worn traditional joke that their books will end either as stuffing in hatshops, wrapped around pastries, or as toilet-tissue. Byron admired the English poets of the past – the Augustans especially – much more than he did any of his contemporaries. Of “the Romantic Movement” he knew no more than did any of the other writers supposed now to have been members of it. Southey he loathed, as a dreadful doppelgänger – see below. Of Wordsworth he also had a low opinion, based largely on The Excursion – to the ambitions of which Don Juan can be regarded as a riposte (there are as many negative comments about Wordsworth in Don Juan as there are about Southey). He was as abusive of Keats as it’s possible to be, and only relented (as he said), when Shelley showed him Hyperion. Of the poetry of his friend Shelley he was very guarded indeed, and compensated by defending Shelley’s moral reputation. Blake he seems not to have known (“Blake” was him the name of a well-known Fleet Street barber). The only poet of whom his judgement and modern estimate coincide is Coleridge: he was strong in his admiration for The Ancient Mariner, Kubla Khan, and Christabel; about the conversational poems he seems blank, and he feigns total incomprehension of the Biographia Literaria (see below).

  • How the Tomb Becomes a Womb by Eric Howell
    © 2013 Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University 11 How the Tomb Becomes a Womb BY ERIC HOWELL By baptism “you died and were born,” a fourth-century catechism teaches. “The saving water was your tomb and at the same time a womb.” When we are born to new life in those ‘maternal waters,’ we celebrate and receive grace that shapes how we live and die. ollowing an extended argument in which the grace given to us through Christ is set over against the sinful nature we inherit from Adam, the FApostle Paul asks: “What shall we say then?” (Romans 6:1, ESV)1 and the implied answer is clear: grace wins. This is especially clear in the crescendo of his argument: “but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (5:20b-21, ESV). Immediately Paul recognizes that his argument sets a dangerous theological trap to be sprung. He must now disarm the derivation from his premise of a devious conclusion: namely, since more sin equals more grace, therefore, sin more! Before the trap can be sprung, Paul spins on the point and asks, “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound?” (6:1, ESV) No way! How can we who died to sin still live in it? For Paul, the gift of God’s grace is an invitation to a new way of life, a radical discipleship to Jesus Christ that puts to death the old life and gives birth to new life.

  • William Blake PART I
    126 Of the fifty-three more-or-less complete copies of Blake's writings in private hands, only one has moved to a public collection: VICTORIA UNIVERSITY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO. This is Songs of Innocence and of Experience (i), a posthumous copy watermarked with fragments of J WHATMAN | 1831, lacking ten of fifty-four prints. A curious feature of copy i is that one print (pl. 23) is watercoloured (see Illus. 1A), perhaps by Catherine Blake (d. 18 October 1831 [BR (2) 546]) or Frederick Tatham who printed the posthumous copies of Blake's works in Illuminated Printing. The colouring is distinct from the colour-printed copy of the same etching in VICTORIA UNIVERSITY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO. The public appearance of Songs (i) has permitted the correction of minor errors in the account of it in Blake Books. COPIES UNTRACED America (S), Book of Thel (S), Descriptive Catalogue (V), Europe (N), First Book of Urizen (K), For Children (F), Poetical Sketches (Q), Songs of Innocence and of Experience (CC, q), "To the Public", Visions (S) are untraced. Six of these ten untraced copies in Illuminated Printing - - America (S), Book of Thel (S), Europe (N), First Book of Urizen (K), For Children (F), and Visions (S) -- have not been recorded since they were sold for the Flaxman family in 1862.

  • Blake's Critique of Enlightenment Reason in the Four Zoas
    Colby Quarterly Volume 19 Issue 4 December Article 3 December 1983 Blake's Critique of Enlightenment Reason in The Four Zoas Michael Ackland Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.colby.edu/cq Recommended Citation Colby Library Quarterly, Volume 19, no.4, December 1983, p.173-189 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by Digital Commons @ Colby. It has been accepted for inclusion in Colby Quarterly by an authorized editor of Digital Commons @ Colby. Ackland: Blake's Critique of Enlightenment Reason in The Four Zoas Blake's Critique of Enlightenment Reason in The Four Zoas by MICHAEL ACKLAND RIZEN is at once one of Blake's most easily recognizable characters U and one of his most elusive. Pictured often as a grey, stern, hover­ ing eminence, his wide-outspread arms suggest oppression, stultifica­ tion, and limitation. He is the cruel, jealous patriarch of this world, the Nobodaddy-boogey man-god evoked to quieten the child, to still the rabble, to repress the questing intellect. At other times in Blake's evolv­ ing mythology he is an inferior demiurge, responsible for this botched and fallen creation. In political terms, he can project the repressive, warmongering spirit of Pitt's England, or the collective forces of social tyranny. More fundamentally, he is a personal attribute: nobody's daddy because everyone creates him. As one possible derivation of his name suggests, he is "your horizon," or those impulses in each of us which, through their falsely assumed authority, limit all man's other capabilities. Yet Urizen can, at times, earn our grudging admiration.

    Cuadernos de Ilustración y Romanticismo Revista Digital del Grupo de Estudios del Siglo XVIII Universidad de Cádiz / ISSN: 2173-0687 nº 20 (2014) Agustín COLETES BLANCO y Alicia LASPRA RODRÍGUEZ (2013), Libertad frente a tiranía: poesía inglesa de la Guerra de la Independencia (1808-1814). Antología bilingüe, Madrid, Fundación Dos de Mayo - Espasa, 387 pp. Readers of Cuadernos will need little introduction to this Anglo-Spanish anthology; the first installment of a major project to recover the English, French, Portuguese and German poems written about Spain during the Peninsular War. Edited by Agustín Coletes Blanco and Alicia Laspra Rodríguez, Libertad frente a tiranía: poesía inglesa de la Guerra de la Independencia (1808-1814) makes a noble defence for the poetry published during this period: «Poesía, porque se trata de un género literario que implica inmediatez y fuerza expresiva en la respuesta y, por tanto, en la mediación entre el autor y el público» (25). Such expressiveness is a feature not only of the English poems chosen for inclusion, but of the editors’ own sensitively considered translations. Libertad Frente a Tiranía is an anthology divided into three parts. Part 1 offers a comprehensive selection of the Spanish- themed war poems written by authors such as Wordsworth, Byron, Scott, and Southey, now considered canonical («los poetas consagrados»); the second focuses on poets who enjoyed contemporary celebrity («los autores relevantes en su época»); while Part 3 is devoted to the largely anonymous (or at least pseudonymous) publications that appeared in contemporary British newspapers and periodicals («poesía publicada en prensa»). This division is, for the most part, successful; prompting http://dx.doi.org/10.25267/Cuad_Ilus_Romant.2014.i20.28 important questions about the perceived quality, contemporary demand for, and initial reception of these recovered poems.
