Poetry and Prayer: The Power of the Word II de Francesca Bugliani Knox

Poetry and Prayer: The Power of the Word II: The Power of the Word

Autor Francesca Bugliani Knox, John Took
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2017
Interdisciplinary and ecumenical in scope, Poetry and Prayer offers theoretical discussion on the profound connection between poetic inspiration and prayer as well as reflection on the work of individual writers and the traditions within which they stand. An international range of established and new scholars in literary studies and theology offer unique contributions to the neglected study of poetry in relation to prayer. Part I addresses the relationship of prayer and poetry. Parts II and III consider these and related ideas from the point of view of their implementation in a range of different authors and traditions, offering case studies from, for example, the Bible, Dante, Shakespeare and Herbert, as well as twentieth-century poets such as Thomas Merton, Denise Levertov, W.H. Auden and R.S. Thomas.

Notă biografică

Francesca Bugliani Knox is a Research Associate at Heythrop College and Teaching Fellow at University College London. Her publications include translations into Italian as well as several books and articles on various aspects of English and Italian literature from the Renaissance to the present, including The Eye of the Eagle: John Donne and the Legacy of Ignatius Loyola (2011). She was the editor, with David Lonsdale, of Poetry and the Religious Imagination (2015). At present she is putting together a collection of essays by various authors on Monsignor Ronald Knox for the Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies. John Took is Professor of Dante Studies at University College London. His publications include a study of Dante's aesthetics, including his literary aesthetic, an introduction to the minor works, an account of Dante's phenomenology of existence, and a critical edition with a commentary and translation of the Fiore, a version of the Roman de la rose attributed by some scholars to Dante. Recently published too is a volume on aspects of Dante's theology entitled Conversations with Kenelm (Kenelm Foster, O.P., having been among the most significant of British Dante scholars of the second half of the twentieth century), as well as a revised version of a MS left by the late Professor Christopher Ryan of Cambridge on Dante and Aquinas. His main project at present, however, is a fresh synthesis of Dante's life and work provisionally entitled simply Dante.

Recenzii

’A really valuable collection, attending to both familiar and unfamiliar voices with scholarship, discernment and - not least important - a good ear.’ Rowan Williams, Master of Magdalene College, University of Cambridge, UK ’Christians commonly use poetry in their worship, for such are the psalms. But is this dual identity just an accident, or is there more to it? Some writers in the twentieth century have suggested as much, among them Henri Bremond, Karl Rahner, Nathan Scott and Evelyn Underhill. The first part of this book offers a fascinating exploration of the plausibility and limitations of such claims, particularly potential overlaps with mysticism and contemplative prayer. In the main the conclusion reached is that parallels run deeper than might initially have been expected, and this seems confirmed by the sensitive and perceptive exploration later in the book of comments from some Christian poets of more recent times, among them W.H. Auden, Denise Levertov and R.S. Thomas. The editors are to be congratulated on a volume that not only fills an obvious gap in the dialogue between theology and literature, but also makes the question stimulating and rewarding.’ David Brown, University of St Andrews, UK ’Striving for what lies beyond language, poem and prayer make their discovery in praise, lament, and petition. Reach always exceeds the grasp. No divine Presence at hand? It may be enough merely to reach toward it - again and again. The essays in this collection show us how it is done.’ Peter S. Hawkins, Yale Divinity School, USA

Descriere

Poetry and Prayer focuses on the relationship of poetry and prayer as aspects of human spirituality and of the expression of that spirituality. Interdisciplinary and ecumenical in scope, the volume offers theoretical discussion on the profound connection between poetic inspiration and prayer as well as reflection on and close reading of the work of individual writers and of different traditions. The volume reinforces contemporary theological concern with poetic experience and expression distinct from the propositional discourse traditionally favoured by theologians.
