Krátky popis
Elegy is among the world's oldest forms of literature: a continuous
poetic tradition which stretches back beyond the time of Virgil and
Horace to Ancient Greece, speaking eloquently and movingly of the
experience of loss and the yearning for consolation. In perhaps the
purest instance of art's fundamental 'impulse to preserve' (Philip
Larkin), it gives shape and meaning to memories too painful to
contemplate for long, and answers our desire to fix in words what
would otherwise slip our grasp. In The Penguin Book of Elegy,
Andrew Motion and Stephen Regan trace the history of this
tradition, selecting the best and most significant poems and poets
from the Classical roots of elegy, and from its Renaissance revival
down to the present day.They show how this remarkably resilient and
versatile form has continued to adapt itself even as society and
religious belief have shifted around it, with striking achievements
in the work of twentieth- and twenty-first-century poets as
different as Marianne Moore, Dylan Thomas, Denise Riley and
Gwendolyn Brooks. The result is the only comprehensive anthology of
its kind now available in the English language. The Penguin Book of
Elegy is itself a work of preservation - and a profound and moving
catalogue of the fundamentally human urges to remember and honour
the dead, and give comfort to those who survive them.
