    Über diese Edition -- Heinrich von Kleist: Der zerbrochne Krug, ein Lustspiel. [Textkritische Edition der Handschrift] -- Anhang. Mit dieser Edition wird eine textgenetische Darstellung vorgelegt, die Kleists zahlreiche, teilweise komplexen Textänderungen en détail rekonstruiert. Methodisches Instrumentarium für die Rekonstruktion bildet die Handschriftanalyse. Wesentliches Ergebnis ist die chronologische Darstellung der Versvarianten und ihrer vers­übergreifenden Bezüge. Sofern die Versfassungen sich unterscheiden, werden auch die Fassungen der ­»Phöbus«-Fragmente und des Erstdrucks mitgeteilt. Erstmals wird so das dichte Beziehungsgeflecht der drei »Krug«-Textzeugen systematisch und vollständig erfassbar.

    Focusing on British women writers' knowledge of ancient Egypt, Youngkin shows the oftentimes limited but pervasive representations of ancient Egyptian women in their written and visual works. Images of Hathor, Isis, and Cleopatra influenced how British writers such as George Eliot and Edith Cooper came to represent female emancipation.

    This book takes a fresh look at the progressive interventions of writers in the nineteenth century. From Cobbett to Dickens and George Eliot, and including a host of lesser known figures - popular novelists, poets, journalists, political activists - writers shared a commitment to exploring the potential of literature as a medium in which to imagine new and better worlds. The essays in this volume ask how we should understand these interventions and what are their legacies in the twentieth and twenty first centuries? Inspired by the work of the radical literary scholar, the late Sally Ledger, this volume provides a commentary on the political traditions that underpin the literature of this complex period, and examines the interpretive methods that are needed to understand them. This timely book contributes to our appreciation of the radical traditions that underpin our literary past List of Figures -- Preface and Acknowledgements -- Contributors -- Introduction; Joseph Bristow and Josephine McDonagh -- 1.

    This book explores the complex relationship between British modernism and the Gothic tradition over several centuries of modern literary and cultural history. Illuminating the blind spots of Gothic criticism and expanding the range of cultural material that falls under the banner of this tradition, Daniel Darvay focuses on how late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century British writers transform the artifice of Gothic ruins into building blocks for a distinctively modernist architecture of questions, concerns, images, and arguments. To make this argument, Darvay takes readers back to early exemplars of the genre thematically rooted in the English Reformation, tracing it through significant Victorian transformations to finally the modernist period. Through writers such as Oscar Wilde, Joseph Conrad, Virginia Woolf, E. M. Forster, and D. H. Lawrence, this book ultimately expands the boundaries of the Gothic genre and provides a fresh, new approach to better understanding the modernist movement Preface -- Introduction: Catholicism, Sacrilege and the Modern Gothic -- Labyrinths of Reason from Augustine to Wilde -- Specters of Conrad: Espionage and the Modern West -- The Haunted Museum: E. M. Forster, Italy, and the Grand Tour -- Detectives of the Mind: Virginia Woolf and the Gothic Sublime -- Dark Vibes: D. H.

    This book reassesses Hardy’s fiction in the light of his prolonged engagement with the folklore and traditions of rural England. Drawing on wide research, it demonstrates the pivotal role played in the novels by such customs and beliefs as ‘overlooking’, hag-riding, skimmington-riding, sympathetic magic, mumming, bonfire nights, May Day celebrations, Midsummer divination, and the ‘Portland Custom.’ This study shows how such traditions were lived out in practice in village life, and how they were represented in written texts - in literature, newspapers, county histories, folklore books, the work of the Folklore Society, archival documents, and letters. It explores tensions between Hardy’s repeated insistence on the authenticity of his accounts and his engagement with contemporary anthropologists and folklorists, and reveals how his efforts to resist their ‘excellently neat’ categories of culture open up wider questions about the nature of belief, progress, and social change Acknowledgments -- 1. Introduction -- 2. Belief: Overlooking, Sympathetic Magic, Hag-riding, and South’s Tree -- 3. Acts of Disapproval: Skimmington Riding -- 4. Acts of Approval: The Portland Custom -- 5. Winter Customs: Bonfire Night and Mumming -- 6. Summer Customs: May Day and Midsummer Divination -- Conclusion -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Appendix: Illustrations -- Index.-

    This book is a study of depictions of health and sickness in the early American novel, 1787-1808. These texts reveal a troubling tension between the impulse toward social affection that built cohesion in the nation and the pursuit of self-interest that was considered central to the emerging liberalism of the new Republic. Good health is depicted as an extremely positive social value, almost an a priori condition of membership in the community. Characters who have the “glow of health” tend to enjoy wealth and prestige; those who become sick are burdened by poverty and debt or have made bad decisions that have jeopardized their status. Bodies that waste away, faint, or literally disappear off of the pages of America’s first fiction are resisting the conditions that ail them; as they plead for their right to exist, they draw attention to the injustice, apathy, and greed that afflict them Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1. A “Very Unfeeling World”: The Failure of Social Healing in Rowson’s America -- 2. “Your Health and My Happiness”: Sickness and Health in The Coquette and Female Quixotism -- 3. “The Best Means of Retaining Health”: Self-determined Health and Social Discipline in Early America -- 4. “The Means of Subsistence”: Health, Wealth, and Social Affection in a Yellow Fever World -- 5. The “Learned Doctor”: Tyler’s Literary Endorsement of a Federalist Elite -- 6. “Some Yankee Non-sense about Humanity”: Hiding Away African Health in Early American Fiction -- Epilogue -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index.-

    This book approaches the Qur’an as a primary source for delineating the definition of ugliness, and by extension beauty, and in turn establishing meaningful tools and terms for literary criticism within the discipline of classical Arabic literature (adab). Focusing on the aesthetic dimension of the Qur’an, this methodology opens up new horizons for reading adab by reading the tradition from within the tradition and thereby examining issues of “decontextualisation” and the “untranslatable.” This approach, in turn, invites Comparatists, as well as Arabists, to consider other means and perspectives for approaching adab besides the Bakhtinian carnival. Applying this critical strategy to literary works as diverse as One Thousand and One Nights and The Epistle of Forgiveness, Sarah R. bin Tyeer aims to prove two major points: how Bakhtin’s aesthetics is anachronistic and therefore theoretically inappropriate when applied to certain literary works and how ultimately this literary methodology is sometimes used as a proxy for ungrounded and, sometimes, unfair arguments by other scholars Foreword by Angelika Neuwirth -- Introduction -- Part I The Hermeneutics of the Qurʾan for the Arts: Key Terms -- Chapter One Ḥusn: The Route to a Conceptual Query -- Chapter Two Qubḥ and the Way to Hell -- Chapter Three Hell and the Aesthetics of qubḥ -- Chapter Four Language: Beautiful Speech/Ugly Speech -- Part II Popular Literature: Thousand and One Nights -- Chapter 5 The Aesthetics of Reason. - Chapter 6 Of Misplacement of Things, People and Decorum -- Chapter 7 The Transgression of Reason -- Part III Canonical Literature -- Chapter 8 Beautifying the Ugly and Uglifying the Beautiful -- Chapter 9 The Littérateurs of Hell and Heaven -- Coda: The Interpretation and Misinterpretation of adab in Modern Scholarship

    This book explores the secret relations between theatre and diplomacy from the Tudors to the Treaty of Westphalia. It offers an original insight into the art of diplomacy in the 1580-1655 period through the prism of literature, theatre and material history. Contributors investigate English, Italian and German plays of Renaissance theoretical texts on diplomacy, lifting the veil on the intimate relations between ambassadors and the artistic world and on theatre as an unexpected instrument of 'soft power'.

    The ranks of English women writers rose steeply in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, contributing to the era’s revolutionary social movements as well as to transforming literary genres in prose and poetry. The phenomena of ‘the new’ - ‘New Women’, ‘New Unionism’, ‘New Imperialism’, ‘New Ethics’, ‘New Critics’, ‘New Journalism’, ‘New Man’ - are this moment’s touchstones. This book tracks the period's new social phenomena and unfolds its distinctively modern modes of writing.

    The Regency Revisited reconfigures Romantic Studies through a neglected timeframe. It demonstrates how politics and culture of the Regency years transformed literature. By co-opting authors, the Regency provoked opposition, and brought new genres and modes of writing to the fore. Key figures are Robert Southey and Leigh Hunt: The Regency Revisited shows their pivotal roles in transforming Romanticism. Austen and Byron also feature as authors who honed their satire in response to Regency culture. Other topics include Blake and popular art, Regency science (Humphry Davy), Moore and parlour songs, Cockney writing and Pierce Egan, and Anna Barbauld and the collecting and exhibiting that was so popular an aspect of Regency London

    This book examines key points of J. R. R. Tolkien’s life and writing career in relation to his views on humanism and feminism, particularly his sympathy for and toleration of those who are different, deemed unimportant, or marginalized-namely, the Other. Jane Chance argues such empathy derived from a variety of causes ranging from the loss of his parents during his early life to a consciousness of the injustice and violence in both World Wars. As a result of his obligation to research and publish in his field and propelled by his sense of abjection and diminution of self, Tolkien concealed aspects of the personal in relatively consistent ways in his medieval adaptations, lectures, essays, and translations, many only recently published. These scholarly writings blend with and relate to his fictional writings in various ways depending on the moment at which he began teaching, translating, or editing a specific medieval work and, simultaneously, composing a specific poem, fantasy, or fairy-story. What Tolkien read and studied from the time before and during his college days at Exeter and continued researching until he died opens a door into understanding how he uniquely interpreted and repurposed the medieval in constructing fantasy Introduction: “This Queer Creature” -- Chapter 1: Forlorn and Abject: Tolkien and His Earliest Writings (1914-1924) -- Chapter 2: Bilbo as Sigurd in the Fairy-Story Hobbit (1920-1927) -- Chapter 3: Tolkien's Fairy-Story Beowulfs (1926-1940s) -- Chapter 4: “Queer Endings” After Beowulf: The Fall of Arthur (1931-1934) -- Chapter 5: Apartheid in Tolkien: Chaucer and The Lord of the Rings, Books 1-3 -- Chapter 6: “Usually Slighted”: Gudrún, Other Medieval Women, and The Lord of the Rings, Book 3 (1925-1943) -- Chapter 7: The Failure of Masculinity: The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth (1920), Sir Gawain (1925), and The Lord of the Rings, Books 3-6 (1943-1948) -- Conclusion: The Ennoblement of the Humble: The History of Middle-earth

    This book is about the literary and friendship networks that were active in Britain for a 250- year period. Patterns in the nature of literary social circles emerge: they may centre upon a location, like Christ Church, or a person, like Aaron Hill; they may suffer stress when private relationships become public knowledge, as Caroline Lamb’s Glenarvon shows; and they may model themselves on a preceding age, as the relationship between the Sidney circle and Lady Mary Wroth exemplifies. Despite these similarities, no two coteries are the same. The circles this volume examines even differ in their acceptance of their own status as a coterie: someone like Constance Fowler was certainly part of a strict familial coterie; the Scriberlians were a more informal set who were also members of other groups; and although Byron’s years of fame are regularly associated with Holland House, he often denied being of their party Introduction; Will Bowers and Hannah Leah Crummé -- 1.

    The book investigates the dispersed emergence of the new visual regime associated with nineteenth-century pre-cinematic spectacles in the literary imagination of the previous centuries. Its comparative angle ranges from the Medieval and Baroque period to the visual and stylistic experimentations of the Romantic age, in the prose of Anne Radcliffe, the experiments of Friederich Schlegel, and in Wordsworth’s Prelude. The book examines the cultural traces of the transformation of perception and representation in art, architecture, literature, and print culture, providing an indispensable background to any discussion of nineteenth-century culture at large and its striving for a figurative model of realism. Understanding the origins of nineteenth-century mimesis through an unacknowledged genealogy of visual practices helps also to redefine novel theory and points to the centrality of the new definition of ‘historicism’ irradiating from Jena Romanticism for the structuring of modern cultural studies Chapter 1 Introduction: The Emergence of Precinema -- Chapter 2 From Analogia Entis to the Threshold of Self-Reflexivity in the Poetry of Dante, Donne and Shakespeare -- Chapter 3 The Modern(ist) Reader: Friedrich Schlegel’s Fragments, the Emergence of Modern Philology and the Montage Effect of Industrial Modernity -- Chapter 4 A Map to the Panorama: the Self-reflexive Construction of Sight and the Flickering Shadows of the Phantasmagoria Effect in Ann Radcliffe’s Mysteries of Udolpho -- Chapter 5 Visions of the City of London: Mechanical Eye and Poetic Transcendence in Wordsworth’s Prelude-Book 7 -- Notes -- Bibliography

    This accessible, informed, and engaging book offers fresh, new avenues into Keats’s poems and letters, including a valuable introduction to “the responsible poet.” Focusing on Keats’s sense of responsibility to truth, poetry, and the reader, G. Douglas Atkins, a noted T.S. Eliot critic, writes as an ama-teur. He reads the letters as literary texts, essayistic and dramatic; the Odes in comparison with Eliot’s treatment of similar subjects; “The Eve of St. Agnes” by adding to his respected earlier article on the poem an addendum outlining a bold new reading; “Lamia” by focusing on its complex and perplexing treatment of philosophy and imagination and revealing how Keats literally represents philosophy as functioning within poetry. Comparing Keats with Eliot, poet-philosopher, this book generates valuable insight into Keats’s successful and often sophisticated poetic treatment of ideas, accentuating the image of him as “the responsible poet.” Preface -- One: On Putting Keats in Other Words: Essaying toward Reader-Responsibility -- Two: Reading the Letters: “The Vale of Soul-Making” -- Three: Some of the Dangers in “Unperplex[ing] bliss from its neighbour pain”: Reading the Odes Intra- and Inter-textually -- Four: Fleeing into the Storm: Beauty and Truth in “The Eve of St. Agnes” -- Five: “For Truth’s Sake”: “Lamia” and the Reweaving of the Rainbow -- Bibliography -- Index

    This volume argues that postwar writers queer the affective relations of reading through experiments with literary form. Tyler Bradway conceptualizes "bad reading" as an affective politics that stimulates queer relations of erotic and political belonging in the event of reading. These incipiently social relations press back against legal, economic, and discursive forces that reduce queerness into a mode of individuality. Each chapter traces the affective politics of bad reading against moments when queer relationality is prohibited, obstructed, or destroyed—from the pre-Stonewall literary obscenity debates, through the AIDS crisis, to the emergence of neoliberal homonormativity and the gentrification of the queer avant-garde. Bradway contests the common narrative that experimental writing is too formalist to engender a mode of social imagination. Instead, he illuminates how queer experimental literature uses form to redraw the affective and social relations that structure the heteronormative public sphere. Through close readings informed by affect theory, Queer Experimental Literature offers new perspectives on writers such as William S. Burroughs, Samuel R. Delany, Kathy Acker, Jeanette Winterson, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Alison Bechdel, and Chuck Palahniuk. Queer Experimental Literature ultimately reveals that the recent turn to affective reading in literary studies is underwritten by a para-academic history of bad reading that offers new idioms for understanding the affective agencies of queer aesthetics. .

    Über diese Edition -- Heinrich von Kleist: Der zerbrochne Krug, ein Lustspiel. [Textkritische Edition der Handschrift] -- Anhang. Mit dieser Edition wird eine textgenetische Darstellung vorgelegt, die Kleists zahlreiche, teilweise komplexen Textänderungen en détail rekonstruiert. Methodisches Instrumentarium für die Rekonstruktion bildet die Handschriftanalyse. Wesentliches Ergebnis ist die chronologische Darstellung der Versvarianten und ihrer vers­übergreifenden Bezüge. Sofern die Versfassungen sich unterscheiden, werden auch die Fassungen der ­»Phöbus«-Fragmente und des Erstdrucks mitgeteilt. Erstmals wird so das dichte Beziehungsgeflecht der drei »Krug«-Textzeugen systematisch und vollständig erfassbar.

Nordic Romanticism: Translation, Transmission, Transformation is an edited collection exploring the varied and complex interactions between national romanticisms in Britain, Denmark, Germany, Norway and Sweden. The collection considers both the reception and influence of Nordic romanticism in Britain and Germany and also the reciprocal impact of British and German romanticism in the Nordic countries. Taken as a whole, the volume suggests that to fully understand the range of these individual national romanticisms we need to see them not as isolated phenomena but rather as participating, via translation and other modes of reception, in a transnational or regional romanticism configured around the idea of a shared cultural inheritance in ‘the North’. Cian Duffy is Professor and Chair of English literature at Lund University, Sweden. Robert W. Rix is Associate Professor of English literature at Copenhagen University, Denmark.

    C hapter 1: Introduction and overview -- Chapter 2: Policing in the Shadow of Jack the Ripper: Myths, Monsters, and the Real Limits of the Late-Victorian Detective -- Chapter 3: Pot-stirring or Pot-boiling? Crises, crime, and other contexts for Mary Agnes Hamilton's Murder in the House of Commons (1932) -- Chapter 4: Domesticating the Horrors of Modern War: How Interwar Sensation and Detective Fiction Faced the War to Come -- Chapter: 5 Agatha Christie in Southern Africa -- Chapter 6: Time is always guilty’: Narratives of Progress and Decline in Interwar Detective Fiction -- Chapter 7: Death Haunts the British Hotel, 1918-1965 -- Chapter 8:Semi-Colonial Horsewifery as Detective Fiction: ‘Trinket’s Colt’ and the Mysteries of the Irish R.M -- Chapter 9: Magic is My Business’: Raymond Chandler and Detective Fiction as Fairy Tale -- Chapter 10: Indecently Preposterous’: The Interwar Press and Golden Age Detective Fiction. British Murder Mysteries, 1880-1965: Facts and Fictions conceptualizes detective fiction as an archive, i.e., a trove of documents and sources to be used for historical interpretation. By framing the genre as a shifting set of values, definitions, and practices, the book historicizes the contested meanings of analytical categories like class, race, gender, nation, and empire that have been applied to the forms and functions of detection. Three organizing themes structure this investigation: fictive facticity, genre fluidity, and conservative modernity. This volume thus shows how British detective fiction from the late-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century both shaped and was shaped by its social, cultural, and political contexts and the lived experience of its authors and readers at critical moments in time.

    Hymnische Dichtung gehört zu den ältesten Formen poetischen Ausdrucks. Götter werden angefleht, Helden besungen, die Schönheit gepriesen. Die Texte gestalten zu diesem Zweck ein Sprechen an den Grenzen des Menschen: Sie behaupten, das Äußerste zum Ausdruck zu bringen, was ein Mensch erfahren kann, in anthropologischer, sozialer, formaler, poetologischer und kommunikativer Hinsicht. Hymnische Dichtung ist daher liminale Lyrik. - Die Traditionslinie beginnt in der deutschen Literatur im 18. Jahrhundert bei Klopstock, Goethe, Novalis und Hölderlin. Im 19. Jahrhundert umfasst sie etwa Heine, Platen und Nietzsche; im 20. Jahrhundert wird sie u.a. von George, Rilke, Lasker-Schüler, Celan oder Bachmann fortgeführt. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt diese Geschichte hymnischer Dichtung in der deutschen Literatur erstmals ebenso historisch umfassend wie systematisch präzise. Inhalt: Liminalitäten hymnischer Dichtung -- Vor- und Parallelgeschichten -- Freirhythmische Hymnen ab 1750 -- Freirhythmische Hymnen ab 1850 -- Freirhythmische Hymnen ab 1950 -- Eine kurze Geschichte hymnischer Dichtung -- Literaturverzeichnis -- Register.

    1. Chapter One: Discipline and Resistance in the Schoolroom: Emotional Possibilities -- 2. Chapter Two: Paternal Authority in the Home: Emotional Negotiations -- 3. Chapter Three: Sidney and Heroic Paideia -- 4. Chapter Four: Learning and Loss in Spenser’s The Faerie Queene -- 5. Chapters Five: Familial Feeling and Humanist Habits of Intellection in Hamlet -- 6. Chapter Six: Familial Imperatives and Humanist Habits of Intellection in Hamlet -- . This book is notable for bringing together humanist schooling and familial instruction under the banner of emotions and for studying seminal works of early modern literature within this new analytical context. It thus furnishes unique ways to think about two closely interrelated moral imperatives: shaping boys into civil subjects; and fashioning heroic agency and selfhood in literature. In tracing the emotional dynamics of the humanist classroom, this book shows just how thoroughly school could accommodate resistance to authority and foster unruly boys. In gauging the emotional pressures at work in filial relationships, it shows how profoundly sons could experience patriarchal authority as provisional, negotiable, or damaging. In turning to Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Spenser’s Prince Arthur, and Sidney’s Arcadian heroes, Emotional Settings highlights the ways in which the respective emotional and moral imperatives of home and school could bring conflicting pressures to bear in the formation of heroic agency – and at what cost. Engaging and accessible, this book will appeal to scholars interested in early modern literature, pedagogy, histories of emotion, and histories of the family, as well as to graduate students and advanced undergraduate students in these fields.

Dass Reisen nicht nur zu Prosa anregen, veranschaulicht in prägnanter Weise die Gattung der Reiselyrik. Neben der kultur- und literaturhistorischen Einordnung von Reisegedichten vom 18.

This collection of essays focuses on a subject largely neglected in Nabokovian criticism—the importance and significance of the five senses in Vladimir Nabokov’s work, poetics, politics and aesthetics. This text analyzes the crucial role of the author’s synesthesia and multilingualism in relation to the five senses, as well as the sensual and erotic dimensions of sensoriality in his works. Each chapter provides a highly focused and sometimes provocative approach to the unique role that sensory perceptions play in the shaping and narrating of Nabokov’s memories and in his creative process.

Drawing on the expertise of museum professionals and historians of the book as well as that of literary critics, it offers new insights into Brontë’s modes of composition and the forms of physicality in her fiction. It also answers questions you never thought to ask: how did those moccasins end up in West Yorkshire?' –Sally Shuttleworth, Professor of English Literature, University of Oxford, UK, and author of Charlotte Brontë and Victorian Psychology. Comprising nine original essays by specialists in material culture, book history, literary criticism, and curatorial and archival studies, this co-edited volume addresses a wide range of Brontë’s writing—from vignettes composed during her teenage years (“The Tea Party” and “The Secret”) to completed novels (The Professor, Jane Eyre, Shirley, and Villette) and unfinished works (“Ashworth” and “Emma”). In bringing to life the surprising array of embodied experiences that shaped Brontë’s creative practice (from writing to book-making, painting, and drawing), Charlotte Brontë, Embodiment and the Material World forges new connections between historical, material, and textual approaches to the author’s work.

Chapter 6: Poetic Pathos -- 7. Chapter 7: Epilogue: Literary Affections. . This book assesses the mediating role played by 'affections' in eighteenth-century contestations about reason and passion, questioning their availability and desirability outside textual form. It examines the formulation and idealization of this affective category in works by Isaac Watts, Lord Shaftesbury, Mary Hays, William Godwin, Helen Maria Williams, and William Wordsworth. Part I outlines how affections are invested with utopian potential in theology, moral philosophy, and criticism, re-imagining what it might mean to know emotion. Part II considers attempts of writers at the end of the period to draw affections into literature as a means of negotiating a middle way between realism and idealism, expressivism and didacticism, particularity and abstraction, subjectivity and objectivity, femininity and masculinity, radicalism and conservatism, and the foreign and the domestic. .

    Chapter 1: Introduction: Local Tongues -- Chapter 2: Troubled Tongues: Seamus Heaney and the Political Poetics of Speech -- Chapter 3: The Gwendolynian Tongue: Gwendolyn Brooks’s Noncolloquial Local Speech -- Chapter 4: Tongue-Tied Fighting: Tony Harrison’s Linguistic Divisions -- Chapter 5: Mortal Tongues: Lucille Clifton’s Local-Speech Admonitions -- Chapter 6: Coda: The Twenty-First Century Local-Speech Poem. The Politics of Speech in Later Twentieth-Century Poetry: Local Tongues in Heaney, Brooks, Harrison, and Clifton argues that local speech became a central facet of English-language poetry in the second half of the twentieth century. It is based on a key observation about four major poets from both sides of the Atlantic: Seamus Heaney, Gwendolyn Brooks, Tony Harrison, and Lucille Clifton all respond to societal crises by arranging, reproducing, and reconceiving their particular versions of local speech in poetic form. The book’s overarching claim is that “local tongues” in poetry have the capacity to bridge aesthetic and sociopolitical realms because nonstandard local speech declares its distinction from the status quo and binds people who have been subordinated by hierarchical social conditions, while harnessing those versions of speech into poetic structures can actively counter the very hierarchies that would degrade those languages. The diverse local tongues of these four poets marshaled into the forms of poetry situate them at once in literary tradition, in local contexts, and in prevailing social constructs.
