The British Empire and revolutionary national poetry

ABSTRACT. The British empire set off an explosion of poetry, in English and native languages, particularly in India, Africa and the Middle East. This poetry – largely neglected in the scholarship on nationalism – was often revolutionary both aesthetically and politically, expressing a spirit of cultural independence. Attacks on England and the empire are common not just in native colonial poetry but also in poetry of the British isles. This article discusses some of the most influential poets, including: Shawqi of Egypt, Tagore of India, Rusafi of Iraq, Yeats of Ireland, Iqbal of Pakistan, Greenberg of pre‐State Israel, and Kipling, the ‘poet of empire’. In contrast with other empires, many poets were inspired by British culture to create revolutionary art and seek political independence. Most strikingly, British rule was instrumental in the revival of vernacular Hebrew poetry after 1917 as the centre of Hebrew literature shifted from Odessa to Tel Aviv.     

古代诗歌中的气候信息及其运用

诗歌具有时间上的历时性完整,空间上的广达性全面,气候事件的内容广泛性、来源独立性的特点,决定了其在历史气候研究中的可能性。在运用文献资料进行历史气候研究时最重要的一步就是对气候资料的提取、运用,诗歌也不例外。任何一条气候资料必须同时具备三个基本要素,即时间、空间和气候事件。如何从诗歌中正确提取和运用这三个要素就成为历史气候研究的关键。此外,诗歌写作的整体背景、诗歌中的文学成分以及诗歌本身存在的谬误等都会影响到诗歌在历史气候变化研究中的运用;而诗歌在不同气候研究内容中的作用也不尽相同,诗歌对于历史时期特殊气候事件的恢复具有非常重要的意义,但在进行历史气候的平均状态研究时更多时候只能作为一种佐证。

毛泽东的诗词创作与修改简论

毛泽东诗词意新语工、独步诗坛。之所以如此,就诗歌创作的角度而言,一归于其激情燃烧的革命岁月,二归于毛泽东独特的人格力量,三归于诗人对中国古典文学的继承与创新。此外,诗不厌改,也构成毛泽东的诗词观。     

两面罕见的西汉铜镜

郑州未来铜镜艺术博物馆收藏的一面草叶纹镜,其形制、纹饰接近满城中山靖王墓所出,也属于武帝前期。镜铭两句十六字,系楚歌体诗,有助于七言诗起源的研究。该馆收藏的另一面星云纹镜,从纹饰看属于西汉中期偏早,特点是有同类型镜罕见的铭文。内容描写思人之梦,更为镜铭中的异例。     

Beyond the sacred language: on the liberal evolution of Hebrew in Jewish nationality

ABSTRACT. This paper aims to shed light on the evolution of the Jewish national language and to discuss the ways in which the cultural trends in Zionism constantly left room for the creative imagination of its adherents, and functioned in such a way as to erode its sacred dimension, thereby promoting a discourse focusing on the individual. My claim is that the Hebrew language case study may reflect the importance not only of national revisionist accounts for our understanding of the Zionist movement, but also the need for an approach that saves a place for truly creative aspects of civic engagement, and recognises the Israeli nation as one asserting, besides its ethnic ties also patriotic nexuses. Special attention will be given to the phenomenon of Hebrew poetry written by women in the 1920s as a platform from which to examine the unique meaning and evolution of language within the Jewish national movement.

Thou With Me: A Study in the Structure of Psalm 23

Psalm 23 is one of the most widely beloved and commonly quoted poems in the corpus of biblical literature. Recently, this psalm has come under scrutiny, particularly from James Kugel, for its apparent lack of adherence to theoretical rules of Hebrew poetics. This study presents a thor-ough examination of Psalm 23 in order to establish its versification and poetic principles. This paper first addresses stichometry, establishing a working hy-pothesis of the psalm’s lines and cola, and the poet’s guiding principles of sti-chometry. The study then discusses versification, exploring thematic and sty-listic units which demonstrate the division of Psalm 23 into strophes. Finally, based on the established stichometry and versification, this paper will look at the poem’s macrostructure, its internal logic, and how these are used to create a central theme and coherent narrative.
