With contributions from nine internationally recognized scholars, A History of Danish Literature reaches back as far as the literary record allows, to the ancient runic inscriptions, and thence to medieval Latin, the development of literature in the vernacular, and the flowering of a distinct Danish literary tradition numbering among its luminaries Hans Christian Andersen, Soren Kierkegaard, and Karen Blixen. The volume includes, in addition, chapters on Faroese literature, women's literature, and children's literature. The approach used in A History of Danish Literature is maintained in the other volumes of A History of Scandinavian Literatures, which surveys the literary history of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and Finland. These literatures are viewed not only as part of an interrelated Scandinavian tradition but as part of world literature. A comparative approach is used through-out, and social and cultural history feature prominently. Contributors to Volume 1 include David W. Colbert, Sven H. Rossel, F.J. Billeskov Jansen, P.M. Mitchell, Niels Ingwersen, Poul Houe, W. Glyn Jones, Faith Ingwersen, and Flemming Mouritsen.","PeriodicalId":424324,"journal":{"name":"South Atlantic Review","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120942669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Satire: A Critical Reintroduction","authors":"F. Palmeri, D. Griffin","doi":"10.2307/3200732","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/3200732","url":null,"abstract":"Satire has been with us since at least the Greeks and is a staple of the literary classroom. Dustin Griffin now moves away from the prevailing moral-didactic approach established thirty years ago to a more open view and reintegrates the Menippean tradition with the tradition of formal verse satire. Exploring texts from Aristophanes to the moderns, with special emphasis on the eighteenth century, Griffin uses a dozen major figures - Horace, Juvenal, Persius, Lucian, More, Rabelais, Donne, Dryden, Pope, Swift, Blake, and Byron - as primary examples. Because satire often operates as a mode or procedure rather than as a genre, Griffin offers not a comprehensive theory but a set of critical perspectives. Some of his topics are traditional in satire criticism: the role of the satirist as moralist; the nature of satiric rhetoric; and the impact of satire on the political order. Others are new: the problems of satire and closure; the pleasure it affords readers and writers; and the socioeconomic status of the satirist. Griffin concludes that satire is problematic, open-ended, essayistic, and ambiguous in its relationship to history, uncertain in its political effect, resistant to formal closure, more inclined to ask questions than to provide answers, and ambivalent about the pleasures it offers. Here is the ideal introduction to satire for the student and, for the experienced scholar, an occasion to reconsider the uses, problems, and pleasures of satire in light of contemporary theory.","PeriodicalId":424324,"journal":{"name":"South Atlantic Review","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128670545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lancaster","doi":"10.2307/3201377","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/3201377","url":null,"abstract":"La poesie de Rene Char, pleine de reflexions profondes et de verites simples, exprimees le plus souvent en petits fragments denses et allusifs, exige que le lecteur renonce a ses conditionnements linguistiques, a ses vieux modes de lecture et d'analyse litteraires, a ses attentes langagieres. Confronte a des poemes a la fois fascinants et deroutants, le lecteur aura en effet a travailler assidument avec le texte pour acceder aux sens receles dans ses vers incisifs et sommaires. Dans son etude sur la poesie eclatee du poete, Rosemary Lancaster examine comment le texte charien, en rompant avec les normes du discursif, initie le lecteur aux forces insoupconnees de la langue; a son semantisme cache, a son potentiel createur, a son grand pouvoir suggestif. Cette poesie, a premiere vue rebarbative, est en fait riche de sens imprevus, de formules saisissantes et revelatrices, d'apercus penetrants sur la vie, la vocation du poete, le role de la poesie, l'art d'ecrire. Dans la ligne des experimentations artistiques de ses allies substantiels et grands astreignants - Braque, Picasso, Vieira da Silva, Heraclite, Rimbaud...- Char se consacre heroiquement a la quete d'une langue qui mettra l'homme en contact direct avec ses meilleures aspirations expressives, ses ressources imaginatives inexploitees et ses dons createurs secrets. Cet ouvrage, en aidant le lecteur a aplanir les difficultes immediates de l'oeuvre de Char, l'invite a accompagner le poete dans son periple au pays des mots.","PeriodicalId":424324,"journal":{"name":"South Atlantic Review","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124674108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
