Book Synopsis New Light on Formulas in Oral Poetry and Prose by : Daniel Sävborg
Download or read book New Light on Formulas in Oral Poetry and Prose written by Daniel Sävborg. This book was released on 2023. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 20th century scholars discovered that oral poetry in entirely unrelated cultures in the world share a basic characteristic: the use of verbal formulas, more or less fixed word strings which were inherited from tradition. The discovery of formulas revolutionized the understanding of oral tradition, and how oral poetry was transmitted. Homer, Eddic poems, Karelian laments, Serbian heroic poetry etc. were suddenly seen in a new light. But the original Oral-Formulaic Theory has also been questioned and revised. New approaches in the study of formulas have been developed among linguists and folklorists. 00The present volume discusses new approaches, models and interpretations of formulas in traditional poetry and prose. The 20 authors in the volume analyze formulas in a broad context by letting oral traditions from all over the world shed light on each other. The volume aims to deepen our understanding of the function and meaning of the formulas. A unique feature is that the volume focuses equally much on formulas in oral prose as in poetry - usually formula studies have focused entirely or mainly on poetry

Book Synopsis A Poet's Glossary by : Edward Hirsch
Download or read book A Poet's Glossary written by Edward Hirsch. This book was released on 2014-04-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major addition to the literature of poetry, Edward Hirsch’s sparkling new work is a compilation of forms, devices, groups, movements, isms, aesthetics, rhetorical terms, and folklore—a book that all readers, writers, teachers, and students of poetry will return to over and over. Hirsch has delved deeply into the poetic traditions of the world, returning with an inclusive, international compendium. Moving gracefully from the bards of ancient Greece to the revolutionaries of Latin America, from small formal elements to large mysteries, he provides thoughtful definitions for the most important poetic vocabulary, imbuing his work with a lifetime of scholarship and the warmth of a man devoted to his art. Knowing how a poem works is essential to unlocking its meaning. Hirsch’s entries will deepen readers’ relationships with their favorite poems and open greater levels of understanding in each new poem they encounter. Shot through with the enthusiasm, authority, and sheer delight that made How to Read a Poem so beloved, A Poet’s Glossary is a new classic.
