Who will mourn with me? Who will break bread with me? Who is my neighbor? In the wake of the religious reformations of the sixteenth century, such questions called for a new approach to the communal religious rituals and verses that shaped and commemorated many of the brightest and darkest moments of English life. In England, new forms of religious writing emerged out of a deeply fractured spiritual community. Conflicts of Devotion reshapes our understanding of the role that poetry played in the re-formation of English community, and shows us that understanding both the poetics of liturgy and the liturgical character of poetry is essential to comprehending the deep shifts in English spiritual attitudes and practices that occurred during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The liturgical, communitarian perspective of Conflicts of Devotion sheds new light on neglected texts and deepens our understanding of how major writers such as Edmund Spenser, Robert Southwell, and John Donne struggled to write their way out of the spiritual and social crises of the age of the Reformation. It also sheds new light on the roles that poetry may play in negotiating—and even overcoming—religious conflict. Attention to liturgical poetics allows us to see the broad spectrum of ways in which English poets forged new forms of spiritual community out of the very language of theological division. This book will be of great interest to teachers and students of early modern poetry and of the various fields related to Reformation studies: history, politics, and theology.Show book
Alfred Damon Runyan was born on 4th October 1880, in Manhattan, Kansas. When Runyon was two his father was forced to sell his newspaper and the family moved eventually settling in Pueblo, Colorado where Runyon spent his youth. By most accounts, he attended school only through the fourth grade and then worked for his father in the newspaper trade. In 1898 Runyon enlisted in the U.S. Army to fight in the Spanish–American War. After his service he returned to Colorado and worked for the local newspapers. By 1910 he had moved to New York to work for Hearst newspapers, writing a daily column. He was soon promoted to be the Hearst newspapers' baseball columnist and developed his trademark viewpoint of writing up the eccentric and the unusual, whether on the field or in the stands. But Runyon also wrote poetry, plays, essays and, of course, his short stories with his famous ‘Runyonesque’ characters who were funny, gritty and instantly memorable, all distilled into black and white type. Of course, the cliché about newspapermen and writers is that they are heavy drinkers, chain-smokers, gamblers and obsessively chase women with a sideline in gathering info and only getting something written just before the deadline hits. And that, pretty much, was Runyon’s life. In 1938 he developed throat cancer which would leave him unable to speak but he continued to work at a ferocious pace, pursuing a Hollywood career as writer and producer at MGM, Universal and RKO studios. Alfred Damon Runyon died in New York City on 10th December 1946 from throat cancer. He was 66. His ashes were scattered from a plane over Broadway. In his early short Story ‘The Defense of Strikerville’ Runyon takes up the cause of workers’ rights as it comes up against the nasty tactics of big-dog capitalism. Runyon’s poems brilliantly illustrate his style and ideas with works that are individual, observational, heavy on the vernacular and bring a rarely seen poetic talent to our attention. 1 - The Poetry of Damon Runyon - An Introduction 2 - The Song of the Strike-Breakers by Damon Runyon 3 - Song of the Steel Worker by Damon Runyon 4 - The Song of the Bullet by Damon Runyon 5 - A Song of the Panama Canal by Damon Runyon 6 - A Song of the Rails by Damon Runyon 7 - The Song of King Barleycorn 8 - The King of Moo by Damon Runyon 9 - The Song of Silence by Damon Runyon 10 - Song O' the Lost Trains by Damon Runyon 11 - The Song of the Saddle by Damon Runyon 12 - The Ghosts of the Great White Way by Damon Runyon 13 - The Softest Town by Damon Runyon 14 - The Ballad of the Big Town by Damon Runyon 15 - Ballads of a Beach Comber by Damon Runyon 16 - When the Ships Go Home by Damon Runyon 17 - Dream of a Drowsy Day by Damon Runyon 18 - Ballad of Hop Looey 19 - The Ladies in the Trenches - a Solider Song of the Sulu Isles by Damon Runyon 20 - Nostalgia by Damon Runyon 21 - A Divorce Problem by Damon Runyon 22 - The Boy She Used to Know by Damon Runyon 23 - Roses of a Dream by Damon Runyon 24 - Homeward Bound by Damon Runyon 25 - The Spirit of You by Damon Runyon 26 - Ghosts by Damon Runyon 27 - Ballad of Lonely Graves by Damon Runyon 28 - Pal, Algeria 1910 by Damon Runyon 29 - Requiem by Damon RunyonShow book
