Hamm, Thomas D. George F. White and Hicksite Opposition to the Abolitionist Movement. University of Illinois Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.5406/illinois/9780252038266.003.0004.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the antebellum era, a critical period of transformation and dissension. Concentrating on the prominent minister George F. White, it reveals how White's opposition to abolitionists such as Lucretia Mott was rooted in his experience as a supporter of Elias Hicks, whose controversial teachings helped fracture American Quakerism in the 1820s. In the 1840s, White was the most controversial, polarizing figure in Hicksite Quakerism. He felt it his duty to use his unquestioned talents to warn Friends, in the most forceful terms, against participating in antislavery, temperance, nonresistance, and other reform movements that many saw as advancing Quaker testimonies. The controversy over his crusade against reform movements would ultimately help fracture every Hicksite yearly meeting except Baltimore and change the course of Hicksite Quakerism.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter examines escapes from slavery and settlement patterns in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and Greenwich Township, Cumberland County, New Jersey, ca. 1820 to 1860. It analyzes the mundane interactions between the white Quakers and African Americans as well as their sometimes heroic collaboration in the fight against slavery. It identifies a conflict between the image of the good Quaker, as fictionalized by Harriet Beecher Stowe or exemplified in the lives of Lucretia Mott, Levi Coffin, or Isaac T. Hopper, and the Quakers who played no active role in antislavery. It further argues that the mythology of the good Quaker in the antislavery movement and in the Underground Railroad often underplays African American agency.

Full text
Abstract:
A pillar of radical activism in nineteenth-century America, Amy Kirby Post (1802–89) participated in a wide range of movements and labored tirelessly to orchestrate ties between issues, causes, and activists. A conductor on the Underground Railroad, co-organizer of the 1848 Rochester Woman’s Rights Convention, and a key figure in progressive Quaker, antislavery, feminist, and spiritualist communities, Post sustained movements locally, regionally, and nationally over many decades. But more than simply telling the story of her role as a local leader or a bridge between local and national arenas of activism, Nancy A. Hewitt argues that Post’s radical vision offers a critical perspective on current conceptualizations of social activism in the nineteenth century. While some individual radicals in this period have received contemporary attention—most notably William Lloyd Garrison, Frederick Douglass, and Lucretia Mott (all of whom were friends of Post)—the existence of an extensive network of radical activists bound together across eight decades by ties of family, friendship, and faith has been largely ignored. In this in-depth biography of Post, Hewitt demonstrates a vibrant radical tradition of social justice that sought to transform the nation.

Gemünden, Gerd. Lucrecia Martel. University of Illinois Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.5622/illinois/9780252042836.001.0001.

Full text
Abstract:
This book provides an overview of the films of the Argentine filmmaker Lucrecia Martel, who counts as one of the most accomplished filmmakers from Latin America and as a leading female global auteur. It situates Martel’s cinema in the context of a post-dictatorship, neoliberal democracy, as well as within the emergence of a new wave realism (New Argentine Cinema), which profits from and is critical of the privileged role cinema assumes in this new economy. The book argues that Martel’s films challenge the primacy of the visual by emphasizing modes of perception such as hearing, feeling, and smelling to question not only the veracity of what we see but, more fundamentally, the epistemological foundations on which the visual is built. Focusing on her native region of northwestern Argentina, Martel’s Salta trilogy employs a heightened realism, combined with aspects of genre cinema, to articulate a powerful critique of dominant power relations and forms of entitlement. Her radical aesthetics force viewers to rethink privileges of race and class associated with Argentine bourgeois society. Martel’s more recent literary adaptation, Zama, traces the origins of the exploitation of indigenous populations to colonial times and unearths its long-lasting legacies.

Deleuze, Gilles. Lucretius and Naturalism [1961]. Translated by Jared C. Bly. Edinburgh University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474412094.003.0013.

Full text
Abstract:
Gilles Deleuze’s “Lucretius and Naturalism” (1961; translated by Jared Bly) is the first version of an essay that would later appear in an altered form in the appendix to Deleuze’s 1969 Logique du Sens, “Lucrèce et le Naturalisme.” Here Deleuze shows how Lucretius, in the first truly noble deed of philosophical pluralism, articulates his atomism as a means to determine the speculative and practical object of philosophy as “naturalism.” To distinguish, in humanity, what belongs to myth and what belongs to nature; to distinguish, in nature, what is really infinite and what is not: such is the practical and speculative object of naturalism. One of the most profound constants of naturalism is to denounce everything that is the cause of sadness, everything that requires sadness in order to exercise its power. Atomism accomplishes this through the concepts of the clinamen and simulacra. From Lucretius to Nietzsche, the same goal is pursued and attained: to transform thought and sensibility into affirmations.

Crosbie, Christopher. Revenge Tragedy and Classical Philosophy on the Early Modern Stage. Edinburgh University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474440264.001.0001.

Full text
Abstract:
This book discovers within early modern revenge tragedy the surprising shaping presence of a wide array of classical philosophies not commonly affiliated with the genre. By recovering the pervasive influence of Aristotelian faculty psychology on The Spanish Tragedy, Aristotelian ethics on Titus Andronicus, Lucretian atomism on Hamlet, Galenic pneumatics on Antonio’s Revenge and Epictetian Stoicism on The Duchess of Malfi, this book reveals how the very atmospheres and ontological assumptions of revenge tragedy exert their own kind of conditioning dramaturgical force. The book also revitalises our understanding of how the Renaissance stage, even at its most lurid, functions as a unique space for the era’s practical, vernacular engagement with received philosophy.

Scully, Stephen. Aesthetic and Political Concerns in Dryden’s Æneis. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198810810.003.0019.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter is devoted to what is perhaps the most influential translation of the Aeneid into English. Scully proposes that Dryden viewed Virgil’s ‘quiet and sedate’ style as ideally suited both to the political necessities of Augustan Rome and to post-Glorious Revolution England. Although by his own testimony Dryden felt that his poetic temperament was at odds with Virgil’s and he claimed that he translated Homer and Lucretius more happily, he restrained his own poetic sensibilities, and indeed Virgil’s lexical range and multifaceted fabric, when giving England the ancient poem that he felt best suited the needs of his own time.

Fanti, Giulia. Grattius’ Cynegetica. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198789017.003.0003.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter assesses aspects of Grattius within the didactic tradition, paying particular attention to the ways in which the author constructs his own persona as instructor and his envisaged addressee(s), and projects his attitude to teaching. This is compared and contrasted with other Greek and Roman didactic poems, with particular reference to his Roman predecessor Lucretius and contemporary Manilius. The chapter argues that Grattius’ work may be seen as a protean poem that combines several of the most characteristic didactic features: in particular, a declared educational aim that is undercut somewhat by a more playful attitude towards the earnestness of the lesson.

Full text
Abstract:
Lucretius’s didactic masterpieceDe rerum naturaadvances propositions, drawn from Epicurus, which the Renaissance book-hunter Poggio Bracciolini and his contemporaries found difficult to absorb. Epicurus’s convictions included an insistence on the superiority of reason over faith, a steadfast refusal of pious fear, a concomitant refusal to believe in afterlife, a belief in the mortality of the soul, a rejection of religion, and an advocacy of the pursuit of pleasure. To many orthodox Christians such arguments were the very definition of atheism. This article examines three responses toDe rerum natura: “The Renunciation of Youthful Indiscretion” by Marsilio Ficino, “The Divorce Settlement” by Poggio Bracciolini, and “Dialogical Disavowal” by Lorenzo Valla. It also considers how the link between humanism, wealth, and the exercise of power in England conditioned the most remarkable Renaissance English response to Lucretius and to everything he brought back into circulation. Finally, it analyzes Thomas More’sUtopia, its theory of the nature of pleasure, and its treatment of Epicureanism and the afterlife.

Thorsen, Thea S., and Stephen Harrison, eds. Roman Receptions of Sappho. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198829430.001.0001.

Full text
Abstract:
Sappho, a towering figure in Western culture, is an exemplary case in the history of classical receptions. There are three prominent reasons for this. Firstly, Sappho is associated with some of the earliest poetry in the classical tradition, which makes her reception history one of the longest we know of. Furthermore, Sappho’s poetry promotes ideologically challenging concepts such as female authority and homoeroticism, which have prompted very conspicuous interpretative strategies to deal with issues of gender and sexuality, revealing the values of the societies that have received her works through time. Finally, Sappho’s legacy has been very well explored from the perspective of reception studies: important investigations have been made into responses both to her as poet-figure and to her poetry from her earliest reception through to our own time. However, one of the few eras in Sappho’s longstanding reception history that has not been systematically explored before this volume is the Roman period. The omission is a paradox. Receptions of Sappho can be traced in more than eighteen Roman poets, among them many of the most central authors in the history of Latin literature. Surely, few other Greek poets can rival the impact of Sappho at Rome. This important fact calls out for a systematic approach to Sappho’s Roman reception, which is the aim of the present volume that focuses on the poetry of the central period of Roman literary history, from the time of Lucretius to that of Martial.

Burrow, Colin. Imitating Authors. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198838081.001.0001.

Full text
Abstract:
Imitating Authors analyses the theory and practice of imitatio (the imitation of one author by another) from early Greek texts right up to recent fictions about clones and artificial humans. At its centre lie the imitating authors of the English Renaissance, including Ben Jonson and the most imitated imitator of them all, John Milton. Imitating Authors argues that imitation is not simply a matter of borrowing words, or of alluding to an earlier author. Imitators learn practices from earlier writers. They imitate the structures and forms of earlier writing in ways that enable them to create a new style which itself could be imitated. That makes imitation an engine of literary change. Imitating Authors also shows how the metaphors used by theorists to explain this complex practice fed into works which were themselves imitations, how those metaphors changed, and how they have come to influence present-day anxieties about imitation human beings and artificial forms of intelligence. It explores relationships between imitation and authorial style, its fraught connections with plagiarism, and how emerging ideas of genius and intellectual property changed how imitation was practised. Imitating Authors includes detailed discussion of authors who imitated (notably Virgil, Lucretius, Petrarch, Cervantes, Ben Jonson, Milton, Pope, Wordsworth, Mary Shelley, and Kazuo Ishiguro) and of the theory of imitating authors in Plato, Cicero, Quintilian, Longinus, Castiglione, the Ciceronian controversies of the sixteenth century, in legal and philosophical discourses of the Enlightenment, and in recent discussions about computer-generated poems.
