BEOWULF är det nordliga Europas äldsta bevarade episka diktverk. Den titellösa texten återfinns i en handskrift tillkommen – sannolikt i ett kloster – omkring år 1000. Dess språk är fornengelska, angelsaxiska. Handskriften är ställvis skadad efter en brand år 1731 i Cotton Library i London, där den till skillnad från flera andra av bibliotekets dyrbarheter mirakulöst undkom att bli lågornas rov. Dess många skadade textställen har under de senaste hundra åren till stora delar kunnat rekonstrueras. Beowulfhandskriften förvaras idag i British Library.
Gunnar D Hanssons översättning av BEOWULF är den första till svenska på sjuttio år.

”VAD SÖKER NI? Språk som tecknar rummets tillkomst och upplösning. Språk som tvingar skeenden som hela tiden upphör som hela tiden blir till. (Nattens slut och början.) En fras återkommer. Inte en igenkännbar rytm. Men en inspelning som hela tiden börjar, slutar, börjar.”
Ur avgrunden hörs nu ett dovt ljud tecknar, med sexhundrasjuttioåtta diktrader och tre fotografier, en fristående lyrisk fortsättning på Goethe viskar i Schillers öra (2023).

Målaren Ulf Gripenholm och poeten Staffan Söderblom är bosatta vid varsin station så långt norrut man kommer på den smalspåriga Roslagsbanan. De delar ett landskap av gamla blåsiga segelleder och granskogsberg, lite ogästvänligt emellanåt men lika gärna en terräng av sträv skönhet. I den här boken har de samlat skisser och anteckningar från tillvaron i detta gemensamma landskap, oberoende av varandra från början, men bilderna och texterna upprättade tillsammans oväntade förbindelser. När de väl hade placerats invid varandra var det inte längre meningsfullt att försöka separera dem igen.

What are we doing when we write about images? In a sequence of five texts comprising lyrical and essayistic writing, visual poetry, and text-art, What R-d Rose mulls over this question. The linguistic mode of ekphrasis—describing a visual work in words—serves as theme as well as means, in a series of lyrical and analytical ventures: an ekphrastic search for the picture in Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray; riddling text-image in the company of Gertrude Stein’s roses; a collaborative exchange on the mythic imagery of Leda and the Swan; ekphrasis as navigation; drawing writing through writing lines. Arguing that text and image cannot be separated, Imri Sandström turns to artist-writers such as Susan Howe and Etel Adnan, the poetics and philosophy of Édouard Glissant, and the postcolonial, queer writings of Sara Ahmed. What R-d Rose is an astute and lyrically charged examination of connections, differences, and indebtedness between the visual and the verbal, and the possibilities of writing the image. Since the book explores how text and image are interconnected and cannot be separated, the work on typography—that is, the visual expression of the text—became particularly important. The design is based on the idea that text can be treated as a material in its own right. It takes as its starting point the fact that the italics in the original manuscript carry multiple meanings and reformulates them into a system of its own, using different ways to mark emphasis, quotations, and instances where words are discussed precisely as words. Italics are used exclusively for titles of works and books. The conversation between Imri Sandström and Josefine Borgström is set so that their voices meet on the page, with the text margin-aligned to opposite sides of the type area. The book’s soft cover and red edges evoke a notebook. At the same time, the color combination of beige, black, and red alludes to older book editions, including The Picture of Dorian Gray, which is also discussed in the book. Imri Sandström is an artist, writer, researcher, and educator. After having completed an MA in fine art and one in sound art, she was awarded her PhD in literary composition from Gothenburg University in 2019.

Den oefterhärmlige avantgardisten och experimentatorn Arno Schmidt (1914–1979) hör till den tyska och europeiska efterkrigslitteraturens mest nyskapande författare. Med sitt säregna språk och sin lika drastiska som svarta humor blottlägger han den mänskliga dårskapen med samma sprängverkan som han frigör det ohämmade fabulerandets nödvändiga motkraft. Efter utgivningen av samlingsvolymen Tidiga skrifter (2022), bestående av sex separata Schmidt-titlar, ger Ekphrasis förlag nu ut en kommenterad utgåva av den dystopisk-satiriska romanen De lärdas republik (1957) i översättning av Martin Lagerholm. Här får läsaren bekanta sig med en amerikansk journalist genom dennes reserapport från en flytande ö i Sargassohavet. Efter ett globalt förödande kärnvapenkrig utgör ön en tillflyktsort för överlevande konstnärer och vetenskapsmän som strävar efter att rädda civilisationen med sin ”idealstat” för de lärde. En högtflygande utopi som under Schmidts vassa penna snarare utvecklar sig till en postapokalyptisk fars.
Den prisbelönta svenska spelfilmen Egghead Republic (regi: Pella Kågerman och Hugo Lilja), med världspremiär hösten 2025, baserar sig på Schmidts nu aktuella roman.

Arno Schmidt (1914–1979), en av den tyska efterkrigslitteraturens mest udda figurer, var en särling som stakade ut helt egna labyrintiska stigar i det bokliga landskapet. Med sina formexperiment, litterära referenser, skruvade framtidsskildringar och svarta humor har hans verk fortsatt att fascinera och utmana läsare världen över. Tidiga skrifter är en kommenterad textsamling bestående av sex prosaverk – Leviathan, Ur en fauns liv, Brand’s Hed, Svarta speglar, Tina och Goethe – i urval och originalöversättningar av Martin Lagerholm.

This volume examines the interaction between literary and visual representation through ekphrasis in contemporary poetry and ancient literature, viewing ekphrasis as a dynamic and evolving concept rather than a fixed category. Contributions from academic experts and poets address how ancient ekphrasis relates to ancient Graeco-Roman literature and contemporary poetry, thus aiming to find commonalities and differences between ancient and modern discourses and to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, reflecting the hybrid nature of ekphrasis itself.The book is organised around four core themes. Virtual Worlds and Embodied Images explores how ekphrasis connects the visual and the physical, while Vivid Emotions and Fluid Identities examines the impact of emotionally engaging with images. False Art and Poor Ethics looks at the relationship between ethics and aesthetics, and, finally, Absence and Presence investigates how the pursuit of absent visual objects serves as a reflection on memory and grief.

This book explores the relationship between ekphrasis and memory in the novel. Drawing on À la recherche du temps perdu, Leonid Bilmes considers how Vladimir Nabokov, W. G. Sebald, Ben Lerner, Ali Smith and Lydia Davis have employed and reshaped Proust’s way of depicting the recollected past.In Ada, Austerlitz, 10:04, How to Be Both and The End of the Story, memory images are variously transposed into intermedial descriptions that inform the narrator’s story, just as they serve to shape the reader’s own remembrance of each of these narratives. Ekphrasis in the novel after Proust, Bilmes argues, acts as a distinct site within the text where past and present, self and other, image and text, seeing and hearing, are ever on the brink of reconciliation. The book surveys a wide field of critical inquiry, encompassing classical theorizations of ekphrasis, philosophical explorations of memory and visuality, as well as seminal studies of image-text relations by, among others, W. J. T. Mitchell, Jean-Luc Nancy and Liliane Louvel. Bilmes’s compelling dialogue with theory and literature evinces the underexplored bond between ekphrasis and memory in the contemporary novel.

Architecture and ekphrasis examines how eighteenth-century prints and drawings of antique architecture operated as representations of thought. Using original archival material, it considers the idea of the past in the period, specifically how it was discovered and described, and investigates how space and time inform visual ekphrasis or descriptions of architecture. The idea of embodiment is used to explore the various methods of describing architecture – including graphic techniques, measurement and perspective – all of which demonstrate choices about different modes of ekphrasis. This well-illustrated, accessibly written study will be of interest to academics and students working in a broad range of subject areas. It will also be an essential teaching tool for increasingly popular cross-disciplinary courses.

This is a study of ekphrasis, the art of making listeners and readers 'see' in their imagination through words alone, as taught in ancient rhetorical schools and as used by Greek writers of the Imperial period (2nd-6th centuries CE). The author places the practice of ekphrasis within its cultural context, emphasizing the importance of the visual imagination in ancient responses to rhetoric, poetry and historiography. By linking the theoretical writings on ekphrasis with ancient theories of imagination, emotion and language, she brings out the persuasive and emotive function of vivid language in the literature of the period. This study also addresses the contrast between the ancient and the modern definitions of the term ekphrasis, underlining the different concepts of language, literature and reader response that distinguish the ancient from the modern approach. In order to explain the ancient understanding of ekphrasis and its place within the larger system of rhetorical training, the study includes a full analysis of the ancient technical sources (rhetorical handbooks, commentaries) which aims to make these accessible to non-specialists. The concluding chapter moves away from rhetorical theory to consider the problems and challenges involved in 'turning listeners into spectators' with a particular focus on the role of ekphrasis within ancient fiction. Attention is also paid to texts that lie at the intersection of the modern and ancient definitions of ekphrasis, such as Philostratos' Imagines and the many ekphraseis of buildings and monuments to be found in Late Antique literature.

Ekphrasis is familiar as a rhetorical tool for inducing enargeia, the vivid sense that a reader or listener is actually in the presence of the objects described. This book focuses on the ekphrastic techniques used in ancient Greek and Roman literature to describe technological artifacts. Since the literary discourse on technology extended beyond technical texts, this book explores 'technical ekphrasis' in a wide range of genres, including history, poetry, and philosophy as well as mechanical, scientific, and mathematical works. Technical authors like Philo of Byzantium, Vitruvius, Hero of Alexandria, and Claudius Ptolemy are put into dialogue with close contemporaries in other genres, like Diodorus Siculus, Cicero, Ovid, and Aelius Theon. The treatment of 'technical ekphrasis' here covers the techniques of description, the interaction of verbal and visual elements, the role of instructions, and the balance between describing the artifact's material qualities and the other bodies of knowledge it evokes.

Originally published in 1992. What, in apparently pictorial poetry, do words represent? Conversely, how can words in a poem be picturable? Murray Krieger develops a systematic theoretical statement out of answers to such questions. Ekphrasis is his account of the continuing debates over meaning in language from Plato to the present. Krieger sees the modernist position as the logical outcome of these debates but argues that more recent theories radically question the political and aesthetic assumptions of the modernists and the two-thousand-year tradition they claim to culminate. Krieger focuses on ekphrasis—the literary representation of visual art, real or imaginary—a form at least as old as its most famous example, the shield of Achilles verbally invented in the Iliad. He argues that the "ekphrastic principle" has remained enduringly problematic in that it reflects the resistant paradoxes of representation in words. As he examines the conflict between the spatial and temporal, between vision-centered and word-centered metaphors, Krieger reveals how literary theory has been shaped by the attempts and the deceptive failures of language to do the job of the "natural sign."

When reading Ludwig Tieck’s texts, the reader becomes aware that dreams, the unconscious, and art play a key role. This study posits that Ekphrasis and dream interpretation are similar due to both analyzing a visual image and attempting to translate the visual into the verbal in order to gain a better and more complete understanding of it. This book discusses Tieck’s texts—Franz Sternbalds Wanderungen, "Die Gemälde," "Die Freunde," "Die Elfen," "Der Runenberg," "Liebeszauber," and "Das alte Buch und die Reise ins Blaue hinein"—and how Ekphrasis and dream interpretations are essential for gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the visual and dream image, resulting in new readings and insights. Furthermore, this book demonstrates that Tieck made major contributions to Ekphrasis studies by integrating notional, dynamic, and static prose Ekphrasis into his fictional works and thus should play a more important role in the current Ekphrasis debate.

Mythology has inspired countless generations of humanity for millennia, from the parent culture of a myth to cultures fairly removed in time, space and language. Poets, artists, historians and philosophers have interpreted the stories in many ways, and Greek and Roman myths in particular are rich in paradox and narrative wisdom that artists have also visually illustrated, often depicting the crux or dramatic climax of a story in close detail. Biblical material also provides a wealth of material for similar reinterpretations for artists or writers. Whether in language with figures like similes and metaphors, or in visual imagery from sculptures, mosaics, wall-paintings and other ancient media, retelling of mythology in parallel versions often borrow from each other and influence each other. For example, a wide range of artists including Dürer, Cranach, Rembrandt, Dore, Klimt, Waterhouse or anonymous ancient vase painters, mosaicists and sculptors reinterpret seminal texts of poets and thinkers such as Homer, Plato, Virgil, Ovid, Dante or biblical material.Whether ancient or modern in its applications, Ekphrasis is an ancient Greek word that essentially has to do with literary versions inspiring visual artistic versions, or vice versa. Visual literacy can be as important as verbal literacy, and tracing these symbiotic influences and looking at their backgrounds are some of the primary foci of Myth and Art in Ekphrasis.
