"Examining the devotional lyric as a siteof intersection between religio-political pressures, aesthetic theory, and Renaissance gender assumptions, this project tracks the relationship between conventional interpretation of the "Bride" of the "Song of Songs" as a figure for the devout soul and the phenomenon of self-feminization by seventeenth-century male poets ... This project examines John Donne, Richard Crashaw, and Edward Taylor to demonstrate that difference in eucharistic theology correspong to subtle changes in poetic appropriations of the Bride figure -- that is, that poets extend the Bridal metaphor based on their sectarian understanding of the Eucharist ..."--Abstract.

Self-feminization in Seventeenth-century Religious Poetry

"Marri' de Our Manhood, Making it Its Bride"

Jay Hopler

This title traces the development of devotional English-language poetry from its origins in ancient hymnody to its current 21st-century incarnations. The poems in this volume demonstrate not only that devotional poetry - poetry that speaks to the divine - remains in vigorous practice, but also that the tradition reaches back to the very origins of poetry in English.

Cricut

During the Reformation, the mystery of the Eucharist was the subject of contentious debate and a nexus of concerns over how the material might embody the sublime and how the absent might be made present. For Kimberly Johnson, the question of how exactly Christ can be present in bread and wine is fundamentally an issue of representation, and one that bears directly upon the mechanics of poetry. In Made Flesh, she explores the sacramental conjunction of text with materiality and word with flesh through the peculiar poetic strategies of the seventeenth-century English lyric. Made Flesh examines the ways in which the works of John Donne, George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, Edward Taylor, and other devotional poets explicitly engaged in issues of signification, sacrament, worship, and the ontological value of the material world. Johnson reads the turn toward interpretively obstructive and difficult forms in the seventeenth-century English lyric as a strategy to accomplish what the Eucharist itself cannot: the transubstantiation of absence into perceptual presence by emphasizing the material artifact of the poem. At its core, Johnson demonstrates, the Reformation debate about the Eucharist was an issue of semiotics, a reimagining of the relationship between language and materiality. The self-asserting flourishes of technique that developed in response to sixteenth-century sacramental controversy have far-reaching effects, persisting from the post-Reformation period into literary postmodernity.

Virgil

'I have seen the armies of wind clash uprooting plump grain left and right from deepest roots' 'Georgic' means 'to work the earth', and Virgil's poetic celebration of the land (29 BC) combines practical wisdom with exuberant fantasy and eulogies to the rhythms of nature. It describes hills strewn with wild berries, recommends watching the stars to determine when to plant seeds and gives guidance on making wine and keeping bees. Yet the Georgics also tells of angry gods, fierce battles and a natural world fraught with danger from storms, pests and plagues. At once a reflection on the cycles of life, death and rebirth, an argument for the nobility of labour and a passionate hymn to the Roman Empire of Virgil's times, the Georgics is one of the most extraordinary poems of the classical world. Kimberly Johnson's lyrical facing-page verse translation captures all the lush beauty and abundant imagery of Virgil's original, preserving its dynamic structure and dramatic poetic effects. This edition also contains a chronology, further reading, notes, glossary and an introduction discussing Virgil's life and the ambiguities and allusions in his work.
