Zusammenfassung: | "While several essays treating the Civil War poetry of Whitman and Melville together have appeared in scholarly journals over the past few decades, "This Mighty Convulsion" is the first book exclusively devoted to the Civil War writings of these two poets, arguably the most important poets of the most convulsive event in American history. The essays brought together in this volume add significantly to recent critical appreciation of the skill and sophistication of these poets; growing recognition of the complexity of their views of the war; and heightened appreciation for the anxieties they harbored about its aftermath. These essays also add to our critical understanding of the distinctive qualities of the two poets and to a clear appreciation of how their views converged or diverged from one another. Both in the ways they come together and seem mutually influenced, and in the ways they disagree, Whitman and Melville, whether in the smallest of signifiers or in the larger ideological currents of their poetry, grapple with the casualties, complications, and anxieties of the War while highlighting its irresolution. Although often approaching the War and its effects with different assumptions and with markedly different frames of mind, both poets shed light on the conflicting impulses behind the War and probe the gaps and fractures in a way that recognizes the ongoing cultural work of reparation and healing across racial and regional lines." -- |

The essays brought together in this volume add significantly to recent critical appreciation of the skill and sophistication of these poets; growing recognition of the complexity of their views of the war; and heightened appreciation for the anxieties they harbored about its aftermath. These essays also add to our critical understanding of the distinctive qualities of the two poets and to a clear appreciation of how their views converged or diverged from one another. Both in the ways they come together and seem mutually influenced, and in the ways they disagree, Whitman and Melville, whether in the smallest of signifiers or in the larger ideological currents of their poetry, grapple with the casualties, complications, and anxieties of the War while highlighting its irresolution. Although often approaching the War and its effects with different assumptions and with markedly different frames of mind, both poets shed light on the conflicting impulses behind the War and probe the gaps and fractures in a way that recognizes the ongoing cultural work of reparation and healing across racial and regional lines." -- Whitman, Walt / 1819-1892 / Criticism and interpretation Melville, Herman / 1819-1891 / Criticism and interpretation Melville, Herman 1819-1891 (DE-588)118580604 gnd rswk-swf Whitman, Walt 1819-1892 (DE-588)118807153 gnd rswk-swf Historical poetry, American Civil war in literature Sezessionskrieg 1861-1865, Motiv (DE-588)4208546-9 gnd rswk-swf Historische Lyrik (DE-588)4160009-5 gnd rswk-swf United States / History / Civil War, 1861-1865 / Poetry United States / History / Civil War, 1861-1865 / In literature (DE-588)4143413-4 Aufsatzsammlung gnd-content Melville, Herman 1819-1891 (DE-588)118580604 p Whitman, Walt 1819-1892 (DE-588)118807153 p Historische Lyrik (DE-588)4160009-5 s Sezessionskrieg 1861-1865, Motiv (DE-588)4208546-9 s DE-604 Sten, Christopher 1944- (DE-588)172385814 edt Hoffman, Tyler 1966- (DE-588)1203918003 edt Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-60938-664-1 Digitalisierung UB Regensburg - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=031696748&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
