Recommended for those who love posting long daily updates. There are so many references to art works that their updates space will look quite colourful with all those pics. Which reminds me I got more quotes to share! But nah, go read the book. Louis Agassiz : Apparently, the Comparative Method is his heritage which Pound then applied to literature. A brilliant essay, one of the longest & choc-a-bloc with quotable quotes. All those who pit scientists and humanists against one another/as poles apart, should read this essay: "One of the most provocative books on the biology of sex is by a poet, Remy de Gourmont; one of the finest on art, by a scientist, Leo Frobenius." However, this essay is mute on the racism controversy linked to Agassiz Now, the Davenport with its 40 essays has lain there neglected for some years, browning with age like a slow cooking piece of toast.
But even this flaw serves as evidence of the capaciousness of Barrett's imagination: A single book is simply not large enough to contain it. And her ability to navigate the universe's deepest mysteries with such a gentle touch is a marvel in itself. * Another Odyssey Salvatore Quasimodo translates the three lines that begin the third book of the Odyssey: II sole, lasciata la serena distesa dell' acqua, si levo verso ii cielo di rame a illuminare gli Haraway, D. Situated Knowledges: The Science Question in Feminism and the Privilege of Partial Perspective.” Feminist Studies 14.3 (1988): 575-99. https://doi.org/10.2307/3178066. There is no way to prepare yourself for reading Guy Davenport. You stand in awe of the connections he can make between the archaic and the modern; he makes the remote familiar and the familiar fundamental.”

In her chapter of the Secondary Geography Handbook, Massey explains her understanding of a geographical imagination. Feminist Geographies: Explorations in Diversity and Difference, a collectively authored book by the Women and Geography Study group of the Royal Geographical Society (Routledge, 1997) All of us carry such images, they may sometimes be in conflict or even be the cause of conflict, and digging these things up and talking about them is one good way in to beginning to examine what it means to think geographically’ No one writes like Guy Davenport. He’s a genius, sure, but also a delightful, generous example of how exhilarating the life of the mind can be. These inventive and harmonious essays are a dazzling reminder that great writing is also great fun.” Ernst Machs Max Ernst: the closing essay. Extremely important in terms of statement of Davenport's aesthetics, a very personal essay, should be read in tandem with Barth's The Self in Fiction. How Gassian these lines sound! —"...admit that stories are made of words: writing. Far from wanting a word to be invisible, unassertive, the makeshift vehicle for something else ("idea," "thought"), I want every word to be wholly, thoroughly a word. If reality can be pictured in words, words must be seen as a set of essences in parallel series to the world."
Taken from lecture presented at Westminster Institute of Education, Oxford Brookes University on 4 March 2003). Review Perhaps this aged yet still practically pristine volume with 39 of its essays is about to enter into its own wee slice of Glory? Now, today, all - poems, essay and book itself - have undergone their obscure little resurrection from their entombment on the bottom shelf.
That Faire Field of Enna: an essay on the mythical matrix across Eudora Welty's fiction. Gass & Davenport have both endorsed her highly: "If one were asked what absolute distinction makes Miss Welty's fiction different, the answer would not be her alert, perfectly idiomatic, honest prose, nor her immense understanding of character, nor her transmutation of fact into universal symbol, but her unique study of inarticulateness." In his Paris Review interview, Davenport said: "She is the only writer we have who writes like Joyce."
