Guy Davenport provides links between music and sculpture, modernist poets and classic philosophers, the past and present—and pretty much everything in between. Not only had Davenport seemingly read (and often translated from the original languages) everything ever written, he also had the ability, expressed with unalloyed enthusiasm, to draw connections between how cultural synapses make, define, and reflect our civilization.Davenport serves as the reader’s guide through history and literature, pointing out the values and avenues of thought that have shaped our ideas and our thinking. In these forty essays we find fresh thinking on Greek culture, Whitman, Spinoza, Wittgenstein, Melville, Tolkien, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens, Charles Olson, Marianne Moore, Eudora Welty, Louis Zukovsky, and many others. Each essay is a tour of the history of ideas and imagination, written with wit and startling erudition.This Nonpareil edition includes a new introduction by John Jeremiah Sullivan.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 191mmItem Length: 133mmItem Width: 19mmAuthor: Guy DavenportContributor: John Jeremiah Sullivan (Introduction by)Genre: Literary CriticismBook Series: Nonpareil BooksTopic: Arts & PhotographyRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
