Imagist Poetry

Imagist Poetry

Peter Jones

Penguin Classics
2001
isokokoinen pokkari
Imagism was a brief, complex yet influential poetic movement of the early 1900s, a time of reaction against late nineteenth-century poetry which Ezra Pound, one of the key imagist poets, described as 'a doughy mess of third-hand Keats, Wordsworth ... half-melted, lumpy'. In contrast, imagist poetry, although riddled with conflicting definitions, was broadly characterized by brevity, precision, purity of texture and concentration of meaning: as Pound stated, it should 'use no superfluous word, no adjective, which does not reveal something ... it does not use images as ornaments. The image itself is the speech'. It was this freshness and directness of approach which means that, as Peter Jones says in his invaluable Introduction, 'imagistic ideas still lie at the centre of our poetic practice'.

Self-Help from the Middle Ages: What the Seven Deadly Sins Can Teach Us about Living

Self-Help from the Middle Ages: What the Seven Deadly Sins Can Teach Us about Living

Peter Jones

Doubleday Books
2026
sidottu
From medieval historian Peter Jones comes a groundbreaking guide to navigating contemporary life through the wisdom of the Seven Deadly Sins. Watching the snow from his apartment window in Siberia, Peter Jones could only describe his feeling as coldness-- both physically and emotionally. He knew modern psychology would define his malaise as depression, but as a professor of medieval history, he also knew there was a time when people described these struggles in very different terms. He turned to the Middle Ages, what he calls the "golden age of self-help," and discovered the timeless wisdom of the Seven Deadly Sins. In The Seven Deadly Sins, Jones takes us with him on a captivating journey through medieval history, revealing how the past can illuminate and transform our modern lives. He explores each of the Seven Deadly Sins--Pride, Envy, Anger, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust--demonstrating how these ancient concepts can serve as a powerful framework for understanding our own psychological and emotional struggles. He delves into the lives of historical figures, from saints and scholars to kings and commoners, uncovering the rich tapestry of medieval thought that sought to navigate the complexities of the human mind. Jones offers a fresh and gripping exploration of European ideas, making a compelling case for its enduring relevance in our quest for self-awareness and personal growth. It turns out that the Seven Deadly Sins was never about purging our temptations and vices, it was about identifying them, accommodating them, and learning to recognize our human essence in the process. Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, The Seven Deadly Sins invites readers to rediscover a lost map of the mind and harness its power to confront the challenges of contemporary life.

Liberty and Locality in Revolutionary France

Liberty and Locality in Revolutionary France

Peter Jones

Cambridge University Press
2007
pokkari
This book examines the interface between the old and the new France in the period 1760–1820. It adopts an unusual 'comparative micro-historical' approach in order to illuminate the manner in which country dwellers cut themselves loose from the congeries of local societies that made up the Ancien Régime, and attached themselves to the wider polity of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic state. The apprehensions and ambitions of six groups of villagers located in different parts of the kingdom are explored in close-up across the span of a single adult lifetime. Contrasting experiences form a large part of the analysis, but the story is ultimately one of fusion around a set of values that no individual villager could possibly have anticipated, whether in 1750 or 1789. The book is at once an institutional, a social and a political history of life in the village in an epoch of momentous change.
