John Dryden, Geoffrey Chaucer

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

Dryden's Palamon and Arcite stands as a remarkable anthology that explores the confluence of classical myth and human emotion, deftly woven through the rich tapestry of poetic tradition. This collection elegantly bridges Geoffrey Chaucer's medieval text, The Knight's Tale, with John Dryden's restoration reinterpretation, offering readers a chance to appreciate the thematic evolution across centuries. The works contained within range from foundational medieval poetry to reflective restoration style, each piece dissecting themes of chivalry, love, and rivalry, creating a narrative that is both timeless and timely. The standout selections engage with these motifs through diverse literary forms, from the heroic couplets of Dryden to the rhythmic intricacies of Chaucer's Middle English verse, highlighting the dynamic continuum of poetic expression. This compilation gathers the insights of poets who profoundly impacted English literature's landscape, particularly through their collective involvement in the broader movements of medieval and restoration literature. Both Dryden and Chaucer contribute significantly to the anthology's thematic focus, offering distinct yet complementary perspectives that deepen the exploration of societal norms and individual desire. By uniting these two great literary figures, the collection draws upon a rich legacy of linguistic and cultural heritage, framing a dialogue that transcends temporal constraints and resonates with contemporary audiences. Readers are invited to delve into Dryden's Palamon and Arcite not merely as an exploration of classic literature but as an immersive experience in interpreting the broader complexities of human experience through the lens of poetic evolution. The anthology fuses varied perspectives and styles, serving as an invaluable resource for students and enthusiasts seeking to unravel the intricacies of juxtaposed historical narratives. By traversing these pages, the audience engages with enriching dialogues that probe the ever-enduring questions of human ethos, providing both educational merit and enlightening insight.

The Message in the Teachings of...

Ashin Ottama

This essay is a revised and expanded version of a talk I gave to three American psychologists in March 1995 at the Mahāsi Training School in Yangon. To this written form of the talk I have added the sections on “solidity” and “objective matter” as well as some concluding reflections.
The essay is intended to preserve the direct and informal tone of a listener-oriented, interactive talk; hence doctrinal expressions are reduced to the minimum. Passages representing my own thoughts are clearly introduced as such. My explanations are supported by many parallels, comparisons, and analogies from daily life as well as from science. My predilection for examples from physics should not give the impression that I am an expert in the subject. I assure the reader I am not.
As the background to this essay I rely on the original Teaching of the Buddha and on the Theravāda Abhidhamma. I sometimes distinguish between the “original Teaching of the Buddha” and the Theravāda. When I make this distinction, by the former I mean the teachings found in the main Nikāyas of the Pali Canon, which were part of the general Buddhist heritage; by the latter I refer to the specific mode of interpretation found in the Pali Abhidhamma and the Commentaries. For people not yet familiar with the Buddha’s doctrine I have included some basic information from the ancient texts. The doctrinal points, however, are not my main concern here.
My object in discussing the three themes of the ancient Teaching is to invite all sincerely, seriously investigating people to question deeply the so-called “given realities” of our lives and to reflect thoroughly on the nature and predicament of our existence.
