Blake: The Complete Poems
William Blake (1757 - 1827) is one of the great figures in literature, by turns poet, artist and visonary. Profoundly libertarian in outlook, Blake's engagement with the issues of his day is well known and this - along with his own idiosynratic concerns - flows through his poetry and art. Like Milton before him, the prodigality of his allusions and references is little short of astonishing. Consquently, his longer viosnary poems can challege the modern reader, who will find in this avowedly open edition all they might need to interpret the poetry. W. H. Stevenson's Blake is a masterpiece of scrupulous scholarship. It is, as the editor makes clear in his introduction, 'designed to be widely, ...
Philosophical and Theological Perspectives on the Figure of Job
The Book of Job remains one of the most profound and unsettling texts in religious and philosophical thought, raising timeless questions about suffering, justice, and the human relationship with the divine. Philosophical and Theological Perspectives on the Figure of Job brings together a diverse collection of essays that explore Job’s narrative from multiple perspectives—philosophical, theological, comparative, and literary—without reducing its complexity or imposing a singular interpretation. Engaging with thinkers such as Kant, Kierkegaard, and René Girard, as well as Islamic kalām, William Blake’s visual reinterpretations, and María Zambrano’s poetic reason, this volume examines Job both as a subject of inquiry and as a figure that continues to challenge and inspire. Rather than offering definitive answers, these essays preserve the tensions within Job’s story, demonstrating its enduring relevance in contemporary debates on suffering, justice, and the limits of human understanding.
Rock and Romanticism
Rock and Romanticism: Blake, Wordsworth, and Rock from Dylan to U2 is an edited anthology that seeks to explain just how rock and roll is a Romantic phenomenon that sheds light, retrospectively, on what literary Romanticism was at its different points of origin and on what it has become in the present. This anthology allows Byron and Wollstonecraft to speak back to contemporary theories of Romanticism through Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones. Relying on Löwy and Sayre’s Romanticism Against the Tide of Modernity, it explores how hostility, loss, and longing for unity are particularly appropriate terms for classic rock as well as the origins of these emotions. In essays ranging from Bob Dylan to Blackberry Smoke, this work examines how rock and roll expands, interprets, restates, interrogates, and conflicts with literary Romanticism, all the while understanding that as a term “rock and roll” in reference to popular music from the late 1940s through the early 2000s is every bit as contradictory and difficult to define as the word Romanticism itself.
