Recenzii
A fascinating study of some two hundred poems, both ancient and modern, in seventeen languages.
A fascinating study of some two hundred poems, both ancient and modern, in seventeen languages...Throughout this work of comparative poetics and poetic theory the author draws on his deep knowledge of Far Eastern, Iberian, and Latin American poetry.
It is a series of linked meditations in essay form, of dazzling erudition, with a remarkable range of references that springs directly from Stephen Reckert's linguistic and intellectual voyaging, east and west, ancient and modern ... it has a welcoming door, that admits the reader to an echoing and beautiful palace.
Professor Reckert has written a chrestomathic study using a methodology hardly encountered nowadays ... and fecund in its ample, wide-ranging citations, Beyond Chrysanthemums exceeds previous comparative studies of East-West poetry by its breadth of reference and its capacious sensibility. To read Beyond Chrysanthemums is to enjoy the experience of reading a wide variety of literature in the company of a superbly catalytic mind. Would that the world literature of the future be blessed with a cicerine as well informed and as delightful as the one the reader encounters in this book.
a brilliant and provocative book ... Reckert is as interesting when he writes of the differences between Eastern and Western traditions as when he considers their similarities ... ... Reckert provides some fascinating Eastern analogues for Dante's Earthly Paradise. Beside Chrysanthemums is one of the masterpieces of literary scholarship of our time. In its importance, its erudition, and its capacity to make a permanent change in the way that we read literature, it will, I believe, rapidly establish itself as the equal of Ernst Robert Curtius's European Literature and the Latin Middle Ages, ... is an intellectual autobiography as well as a creative work of criticism and literary history ... a brilliant, moving ... always exciting and enriching book. It is impossible to do justice to it - but you have to try.
