This book explores the much debated relation of language and bodily experience (i.e. the 'flesh'), considering in particular how poetry functions as revelatory discourse and thus relates to the formal horizon of theological inquiry. The central thematic focus is around a 'phenomenology of the flesh' as that which connects us with the world, being the site of perception and feeling, joy and suffering, and of life itself in all its vulnerability. The voices represented in this collection reflect interdisciplinary methods of interpretation and broadly ecumenical sensibilities, focusing attention on such matters as the revelatory nature of language in general and poetic language in particular, the function of poetry in society, the question of Incarnation and its relation to language and the poetic arts, the kenosis of the Word, and human embodiment in relation to the word 'enfleshed' in poetry.

This book explores a range of twentieth and twenty-first century poem-prayers directed to or involving Mary. In readings of works by T. S. Eliot, David Jones, Geoffrey Hill, Elizabeth Jennings, Hilary Davies, Rowan Williams and others, Ward traces the resurgence of interest in Mary from the late nineteenth century to the present day.By the early twentieth century, the once widespread and fervent cult of the Virgin Mary had for more than three hundred years been largely absent from England’s religious life. Similarly, the figure of Mary had almost vanished from English poetry, only to return, gradually, as Marian devotion began to revive in the nineteenth century. The perception of this devotion as somehow un-English, dominant since the Reformation, presented a challenge to poets engaged with the Marian theme in the modern day. Marian Poem-Prayers in the Modern Age examines how male and female poets from both Roman Catholic and Anglican backgrounds responded to this situation. The book also argues that the figure of Mary is a type of John Henry Newman’s category of “real assent”: commitment that is not merely intellectual, but involves the totality of a person’s being in relation to God.

Poetry and the Kenotic Word

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

This book of essays on poetic speech, viewed in a literary-critical, theological and philosophical light, explores the connections and disconnections between vulnerable human words, so often burdened with doubt and pain, and the ultimate kenosis of the divine Word on the Cross. An introductory discussion of language and prayer is followed by reflections linking poetry with religious experience and theology, especially apophatic, and questioning the ability of language to reach out beyond itself. The central section foregrounds the motif of the suffering flesh, while the final section, including essays on seventeenth-century English metaphysical poetry and several of the great poets of the twentieth century, is devoted to the sounds and rhythms which give a poem its own kind of body.

Autobiographical Triangle

Witness, Confession, Challenge

Critical revised edition and translation by Jean WardThis book presents a universal theory of autobiography, defined as a "triangular" form of utterance involving three different stances. It is a personal testimony to experiences lived through, a confession of intimate inner experience and a challenge addressed to the reader to engage in dialogue, enter into an argument or join in a game. The stances of witness, confession and challenge are always present, though usually one of them overshadows the other two. Polish memoirs, diaries and letters, as well as novels of a clearly personal character, are interpreted here in the context of the most important autobiographical texts of European literature. In the background, also, the historical events which have powerfully stamped Polish culture in the last two centuries are discreetly shown.

In Wonder, Love and Praise

Approaches to Poetry, Theology and Philosophy

Inbunden, Engelska, 2019

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

This collection of essays explores poetry’s contribution to the expression of theological wonder, which can occur both in ordinary life and in the natural world or can arise in the context of explicitly supernatural mystical experience. Poets have a special role in capturing religious awe in ways beyond the power of discursive language. Some essays in this book approach the subject on a theoretical level, working with theology, philosophy and literary criticism. Others provide close readings of poems in which the engagement with a variously understood idea or experience of wonder is prominent, from the English-language tradition and outside it. Poets from culturally and historically different backgrounds are thus drawn together through the focus on the meaning of wonder.
