The Dramatic Imagination of Robert Browning

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro The Dramatic Imagination of Robert Browning

The Dramatic Imagination of Robert Browning offers an accessible and authoritative guide to the essentials of Robert Browning's life and poetry. Drawing from his personal letters and from the diaries and memoirs of his contemporaries, this literary biography provides a wealth of information about the main events of his life, including the social, political, religious, and aesthetic issues that concerned him; it offers critical commentary defining the central characteristics of his poetry; and it tracks the changes in his reputation through contemporary reviews and the growth of the Browning societies. An English poet who was deeply responsive to European culture and affairs, Robert Browning has sometimes been dismissed by modern readers for his obscurity or roughness of language. Now two distinguished scholars of Browning's work trace the arc of his development as an artist and thinker from his earliest poems to the last in his long and remarkably productive career. The authors illustrate how Browning moved from describing “incidents in the development of a soul,” to developing his reader's soul as collaborator in the artistic process, to the development of his own soul in the making of poetry. Through a fresh reading of not only his poetry but also the letters of both Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, they have garnered details that situate the two in historical context, provide a vivid sense of Robert's personality, and also correct biases against Elizabeth's influence. Their critical commentary focuses on the poet's dramatic imagination and argues that his extensive body of work after The Ring and the Book—often dismissed as evidencing a decline in his poetic powers—represented new directions in his poetry marked by inventive dialogue, verbal puzzles, and virtuoso rhyming. Written to appeal to both general readers and scholars, the book will enable anyone to read Browning's poems with a firm sense of the subjects and practices that are central to his texts, along with a knowledge of their context in the poet's life and thought. The Dramatic Imagination of Robert Browning invites readers of a singular body of poetry to achieve a new understanding of Browning's work and a greater appreciation of his life.

Flores en la basura

Libro Flores en la basura

Una de las jóvenes que emigró en los años más duros de la última crisis económica vuelve a España y analiza con nuevos ojos lo que había dejado atrás. Violeta Serrano es una mujer que pertenece a esa generación nacida a fines de los ochenta, que parecía tenerlo todo: democracia consolidada, estado de bienestar asegurado y un colchón europeo que parecía eterno. Pero algo se rompió, las certezas volaron por el aire y de aquellos escombros nacieron estas frustraciones. Esta obra es, en definitiva, un viaje a las entrañas de una generación de la que muchos hablan pero pocos...

Gaudio

Libro Gaudio

Biografía del tenista más singular, especie de Hamlet en la cancha, que deslumbró al mundo con su revés y lo desconcertó con sus soliloquios desesperados. Una obra que inmortaliza las genialidades de un deportista único.

Called “a masterpiece” by The New York Times, the acclaimed trilogy from Tove Ditlevsen, a pioneer in the field of genre-bending confessional writing.

Infancia berlinesa hacia mil novecientos

Libro Infancia berlinesa hacia mil novecientos

Esta obra central en el universo benjaminiano se empezó a escribir en los años treinta del pasado siglo como contrapeso al mítico (y extrañado) proyecto del Libro de los Pasajes y al ascenso de los nazis al poder. Benjamin se torna a mirar su propia infancia: el nacimiento del "apetito de historias" en un niño enfermizo. No obstante, influido por Proust (de quien fue traductor), el autor alcanza una resonancia mayor y le devuelve su libertad fundacional a la forma ensayística: capta la compleja trama de temporalidades que nos conforma, la resistencia del pasado a marcharse y su promesa...
