These pamphlets—Henry Chettle’s Kind-Harts Dreame (1592), Barnabe Riche’s Greenes Newes both from Heauen and Hell (1593), and John...

... and pleasures of fiction, of literary study, and of metaphor. The alternative to what has been called “the poverty of context” is the richness and variety of poetic contexts, understood diachronically. References Achinstein Sharon . 2002 . “ Samson Agonistes and the Politics of Memory...

...Joseph Elkanah Rosenberg Abstract Edward Upward’s revolutionary impulses were doomed to failure. A die-hard Marxist, he quit the British Communist Party in the mid-1940s because it was not adequately Leninist, and gave up the rich surrealism of his early work in favor of an extremely dry social...

... of nonmasculine rhyme as rich as this one, it is difficult to go back to the second installment of The Faerie Queene and not be irritated. Many of Spenser’s feminine rhymes are just not funny.

... of the Magnalia : its tormented rage for order.” This rich, strange description is from his eightieth page. Surely, over a half century of reading Romantic poetry, McGann has absorbed some of its power and momentum, which is a power to persuade a little more quickly and efficiently than we may want to consent...

.... But, again, certainty eludes us, for the name was fairly common in the London of the day. Penelope Rich, one of the most beautiful, avant-garde, and scandalous of Elizabethan aristocrats, lived in the Priory of St. Bartholomew almost next door to the Websters. Lady Rich was sister to the fatally...

....” That would be scant material for a painter ; yet the reader feels that the picture is rich and warm with color. For one thing, the “bloody fielde,” which is not part of the actual scene, con- tributes to the reader’s sense of color. But more important is the fact that, in reading, the mind will make...

... serves to measure modem critical studies. That tale is either Sir Philip Sidney’s affair with Lady Rich, or Astrophil’s love for Stella. To Sidney’s intimate circle of friends, among whom the sonnets first circulated and to whom the affiir would be known, the choice was open to read...

... in the conditional or subjunctive mood” (4) and argues that they are essentially experiments in the logic of probability. The decades on which he focuses (1850–80) are particularly rich in such experimentation because they form an interstitial period in the history of mathematical probability. Before midcentury...

.... Henry Hatfield succeeds in avoiding the negative tone of Butler and keeps the critical distance lacking in Rehm’s great work. He gives us an excep- tionally balanced, perceptive reading of a rich collection of relevant texts gathered together most judiciously from the autobiographical...

... is unwise to spend money and time ac- quiring land. It should try to have “more subjects, usefully employed, which is the principle feature of any policy designed to make the state rich” ( MS 7929). ’The decision to develop a nation internally rather than to increase its territory leads...

.... Challenging as his book is, each phase of his method has limitations and dangers. Although his explications are frequently brilliant, he makes a few poems (some 50) speak for the whole corpus (1,775) and virtually ignores the rich testimony of the letters (he includes scarcely more than a half-dozen...

... or uncertainty he finds in aspects of the external world. His contorted syntax, his great range of diction, his elaborate allusiveness, his intermingling of rhetorical patterns-all attempt to record experiential complexity. Such techniques obviously provide rich material for critical exegesis. -1’he...

...: “the richness and diversity of the literature of mid-nine- teenth-century England” (p. xi). “Richness” and “diversity” are undeniably striking features of the literature of 1850.

... of A. K. Ramanujan’s “Self-Portrait” is “one of the best first lines, and line breaks, in twentieth-century verse” (41).
