The-Anatomy-Of-Poetry.Pdf Routledge Revivals The Anatomy of Poetry It is impossible to appreciate poetry fully without some knowledge of the various aspects of poetic technique. First published in 1953, with a second edition in 1982, this title explains all the usual technical terms in an accessible manner. Marjorie Boulton shows that it is possible to approach a poem from a business-like perspective without losing enjoyment. This reissue will be of particular value to students of Eng- lish Literature as well as those with a general interest in the specifics of poetry.

This book is very honest and sensible. It is also practical, and written by someone who has never allowed classroom work to dull her original response to poetry. I am by nature and from experience suspicious of class­ room attempts to explain works o f art, since they are so often the work of prosaic minds incapable of appreciating anything but rules. Such teachers can comment upon struc­ ture and metre, but are insensitive to rhythm, read badly, and never get beyond a strictly rational account o f what they think the poem is about. They are o f the kind that asks children to paraphrase a poem, and award marks for the result. This little book is an excellent corrective to any such malpractice. The author shows that it is possible to approach a poem in a business-like manner without spoiling its magic or losing enjoyment o f its music. She shows, in fact, that no other approach is business-like, since no other will get near the reality of the poem. I do not agree with IX Foreword everything she says, but I commend her book most warmly as a sincere and useful introduction to a great subject; clear-headed, realistic, and easy to understand. L. A. G. STRONG X PREFACE I have tried to prevent this from becoming an ill-tempered book, but it was written as the result o f prolonged irritation. As a student of literature and later as a teacher in school, emergency training college and three-year training college, as a private coach and lecturing for the W .E.A ., I have steadily accumulated exasperation at being unable to find and recommend to my pupils a book on the technique and content of poetry which should be what I wanted them to read. The book I required must be fairly small; it must be more than a string o f technical terms yet explain all the usual technical terms; it must have plenty of examples to avoid misunderstanding; it must draw its examples from a wide range o f English poetry; it must be up to date, explaining such things as pararhyme and free verse; and, since most o f my pupils are trying to take examinations, it must be helpful to the examination candidate without killing poetry by an excess of formalism and pedantry. Never having found such a book, and finding that the appendix on poetry at the back o f the grammar book is often too dry to be swallowed, the mass of excellent advanced criticism available to-day rather xi Preface too rich to be digested by the inexperienced, I have tried to write the book m yself and to give an outline o f the subject which shall begin at the beginning, but be sufficiently comprehensive on its elementary level. I hope it may be useful to students and teachers. I should have liked to use more contemporary poetry, but have been deterred by the obstacles of copyright; however, I have tried to encourage the student to read contemporary work. I have made no attempt at giving a potted history of literature such as is readily available elsewhere. This is frankly a technical book, but I have tried to bear in mind that the only sound reason for examining poetry technically is that this adds to our enjoyment. I have to acknowledge the kindness of Faber & Faber Ltd for permission to quote from W. H. Auden’s ‘As he is’ (in Collected Shorter Poems, 1950), and from Louis MacNeice’s ‘Aubade’ (in Poems, 1935); of Mr George Fraser for permis­ sion to quote from one o f his sonnets; o f Routledge & Kegan Paul for permission to use a quotation from Sidney Keyes’s ‘The Wilderness’ (in The Cruel Solstice, 1944); of Chatto & Windus for permission to quote three extracts from poems by Wilfred Owen from The Poems of Wilfred Owen, 1931; and of Mr Robert Penn Warren for permission to quote from his poem ‘Original Sin’. The help I have received in writing this book has really extended over at least the last fifteen years, for all kinds o f educational experiences and chance remarks have contri­ buted to it. However, I should like to mention particularly my friends and sometime colleagues, Miss Helen Smith, Miss Freda Sachse, Miss Grace Keenleyside, and Miss Mary Fowler, with all of whom I have had many stimulating dis­ cussions on poetry as well as many less bookish pleasures; xii Preface my pupils of all ages from eleven to forty-five who have asked me difficult questions and sometimes helped me to knowledge by their alert suggestions, sometimes forced me to clarity by their misunderstandings; my mother, Mrs E. M. Boulton, whose fresh and sincere approach to the arts is an inspiration to me; M r J. F. Danby, who has given me much mental stimulation and personal encouragement; Allan Jacobs, who read the first draft o f this textbook and improved it by a number o f penetrating criticisms and thoughtful suggestions. A debt I can never hope to pay is acknowledged in my dedication. I do not expect that everyone who reads this book will be satisfied; I shall never myself be satisfied with anything I write; but I hope that everyone who reads this book will learn something or be provoked to think.

In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

  • Songs in Fixed Forms
    Songs in Fixed Forms by Margaret P. Hasselman 1 Introduction Fourteenth century France saw the development of several well-defined song structures. In contrast to the earlier troubadours and trouveres, the 14th-century songwriters established standardized patterns drawn from dance forms. These patterns then set up definite expectations in the listeners. The three forms which became standard, which are known today by the French term "formes fixes" (fixed forms), were the virelai, ballade and rondeau, although those terms were rarely used in that sense before the middle of the 14th century. (An older fixed form, the lai, was used in the Roman de Fauvel (c. 1316), and during the rest of the century primarily by Guillaume de Machaut.) All three forms make use of certain basic structural principles: repetition and contrast of music; correspondence of music with poetic form (syllable count and rhyme); couplets, in which two similar phrases or sections end differently, with the second ending more final or "closed" than the first; and refrains, where repetition of both words and music create an emphatic reference point. Contents • Definitions • Historical Context • Character and Provenance, with reference to specific examples • Notes and Selected Bibliography Definitions The three structures can be summarized using the conventional letters of the alphabet for repeated sections. Upper-case letters indicate that both text and music are identical. Lower-case letters indicate that a section of music is repeated with different words, which necessarily follow the same poetic form and rhyme-scheme. 1. Virelai The virelai consists of a refrain; a contrasting verse section, beginning with a couplet (two halves with open and closed endings), and continuing with a section which uses the music and the poetic form of the refrain; and finally a reiteration of the refrain.

  • Disability and Music
    th nd 19 November to 22 December UKDHM 2018 will focus on Disability and Music. We want to explore the links between the experience of disablement in a world where the barriers faced by people with impairments can be overwhelming. Yet the creative impulse, urge for self expression and the need to connect to our fellow human beings often ‘trumps’ the oppression we as disabled people have faced, do face and will face in the future. Each culture and sub-culture creates identity and defines itself by its music. ‘Music is the language of the soul. To express ourselves we have to be vibrating, radiating human beings!’ Alasdair Fraser. Born in Salford in 1952, polio survivor Alan Holdsworth goes by the stage name ‘Johnny Crescendo’. His music addresses civil rights, disability pride and social injustices, making him a crucial voice of the movement and one of the best-loved performers on the disability arts circuit. In 1990 and 1992, Alan co- organised Block Telethon, a high-profile media and community campaign which culminated in the demise of the televised fundraiser. His albums included Easy Money, Pride and Not Dead Yet, all of which celebrate disabled identity and critique disabling barriers and attitudes. He is best known for his song Choices and Rights, which became the anthem for the disabled people’s movement in Britain in the late 1980s and includes the powerful lyrics: Choices and Right That’s what we gotta fight for Choices and rights in our lives I don’t want your benefit I want dignity from where I sit I want choices and rights in our lives I don’t want you to speak for me I got my own autonomy I want choices and rights in our lives https://youtu.be/yU8344cQy5g?t=14 The polio virus attacked the nerves.

It explores the hows and whys of this process by an analysis of the subject matter of epic rather than its form or manner; that is, it attempts to find out what post-classical readers understood when they read epic by examination of major commentaries on Virgil's Aeneid from the early Middle Ages through the Renaissance. After that it proceeds to the same goal by close reading of major English literary works that bear a parodic relation to epic. I understand the epic tradition this book talks about as a heterogeneous body of materials growing from a single root, always changing and transforming them­ selves, but changing in ways and directions indicated by their earliest shaping.

Le critique nomme chanson « toutes les ­­compositions monodiques destinées à être chantées, et divi- sées en strophes », ­­c’est-à-dire les « chansons dites à forme fixecomme ­­ la ballade (…) », mais aussi les « chansons définies le plus souvent par leur sujet, telles que les pastourelles, les chansons d’amour,­­ les chansons religieuses (…)1 ».
