This study examines the relationship between sonnet form and musical form in Benjamin Britten's sonnet cycles with a view toward identifying the musico-poetic form how the musical form interprets the poetry. Several issues come to the fore: 1) articulation of the large-scale divisions of the poetic form in the music; 2) potential of the musical setting to make connections between lines of the text ; 3) potential of the musical setting to follow or imitate the thought processes of the poem; and 4) placement of the departure and return.

This thesis is concerned with one key aspect of the reception of the vernacular poetry of Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch), namely translations and imitations of the Rerum vulgarium fragmenta (Rvf) and Triumphi in English. It aims to provide a more comprehensive survey of the vernacular Petrarch’s legacy to English literature than is currently available, with a particular focus on some hitherto critically neglected texts and authors. It also seeks to ascertain to what degree the socio-historical phenomena of religion, politics, and culture have influenced the translations and imitations in question. The approach has been both chronological and comparative. This strategy will demonstrate with greater clarity the monumental effect of the Elizabethan Reformation on the English reception of Petrarch. It proposes a solution to the problem of the long gap between Geoffrey Chaucer’s re-writing of Rvf 132 and the imitations of Wyatt and Surrey framed in the context of Chaucer’s sophisticated imitative strategy (Chapter I). A fresh reading of Sir Philip Sidney’s Astrophil and Stella is offered which highlights the author’s misgivings about the dangers of textual misinterpretation, a concern he shared with Petrarch (Chapter II). The analysis of Edmund Spenser’s Amoretti and Epithalamion in the same chapter reveals a hitherto undetected Ovidian subtext to Petrarch’s Rvf 190. Chapter III deals with two English versions of the Triumphi: I propose a date for Lord Morley’s translation which suggests it may be the first post- Chaucerian English engagement with Petrarch; new evidence is brought to light which identifies the edition of Petrarch used by William Fowler as the source text for his Triumphs of Petrarcke. The fourth chapter constitutes the most extensive investigation to date of J. M. Synge’s engagement with the Rvf, and deals with the question of translation as subversion. On the theoretical front, it demonstrates how Synge’s use of “folk-speech” challenges Venuti’s binary foreignising/domesticating system of translation categorisation.

Vibraphone performance continues to be an expanding field of music. Earliest accounts of the presence of the vibraphone and vibraphone players can be found in American Vaudeville from the early 1900s; then found shortly thereafter in jazz bands as early as the 1930s, and on the classical concert stage beginning in 1949. Three Pieces for Vibraphone, Opus 27, composed by James Beale in 1959, is the first solo concert piece written exclusively for the instrument. Since 1959, there have been over 690 pieces written for solo concert vibraphone, which stands as evidence of the popularity of both the instrument and the genre of solo concert literature. Christopher Deane has contributed to solo vibraphone repertoire with works that are regarded as staples in the genre. Deane's compositions for vibraphone consistently expand the technical and musical potential of the instrument. Performance of Deane's vibraphone works requires a performer to utilize grips and specific performance techniques that are departures from standard performance practices. Many of the performance techniques needed to successfully execute these pieces are not routinely found in either percussion pedagogy courses or performance ensemble situations. As a result, most percussionists are not familiar with these techniques and will require additional assistance, instruction, or demonstrations. The impetus of this document is to present explanations and solutions for performance areas that require extended performance techniques, to offer recommendations on the creation, choosing, and manipulating of special implements, and to propose varied choices related to artistic interpretation of three of Deane's vibraphone pieces: Mourning Dove Sonnet (1983), The Apocryphal Still Life (1996), and Dis Qui Etude (2004).

[pt] Objetiva-se nesta dissertação desenvolver um estudo historiográfico das traduções brasileiras dos sonetos shakespearianos, que começaram a ser publicadas no final do século XIX, enfocando traduções e tradutores. Levando em consideração algumas das indagações de Lieven D hulst (2010) que interessam à historiografia da tradução, buscam-se respostas para as questões Quis?, Quomodo? e Quando?, que visam, respectivamente, caracterizar a figura do tradutor e a sua inserção no sistema literário brasileiro; analisar estratégias tradutórias globais empregadas por cada profissional e depreender as noções de tradução que norteiam o seu trabalho; e identificar o contexto em que tais traduções passam a integrar o sistema literário brasileiro. Esta dissertação se ancora em abordagens e conceitos dos Estudos da Tradução e Estudos Shakespearianos; no primeiro caso, em teóricos como D hulst (2010), Pym (2014) e Pinilla (2020), e no segundo, em Spiller (1992) e Hyland (2002). Destacam-se, na bibliografia sobre os sonetos produzidos por Shakespeare, Collin (2008), Edmondson e Wells (2004) e Duncan-Jones (1997); e sobre as traduções da poesia lírica desse poeta para o português do Brasil, os estudos de Wanderley (1991), Silva Ramos (2008) e Walker (2018). No período de quase 12 décadas, 18 tradutores publicaram traduções brasileiras integrais ou parciais da série de 154 sonetos, recorrendo a diferentes esquemas formais, constituindo um repertório rico e diversificado à disposição dos leitores falantes do português. Ao analisar essas traduções e tradutores, espera-se contribuir para a historiografia da tradução no Brasil em geral e a dos sonetos de Shakespeare em particular. / [en] This thesis aims to conduct a historiographical study on Brazilian translations of Shakespeare s sonnets, which began to be published in the late 19th century, focusing on translations and translators. Considering a number of questions posed by Lieven D hulst (2010) that interest the historiography of translation, we seek answers for Quis?, Quomodo?, and Quando? that aim, respectively, to characterize the figure of the translator and his/her insertion into the Brazilian literary system; to analyze the global strategies of translation applied by each professional as well as to apprehend the notions of translation which guided his/her work; and to identify the context in which these translations become part of the Brazilian literary system. This research is informed by approaches and concepts of Translation Studies and Shakespearean Studies; in the first case, by theorists such as D hulst (2010), Pym (2014) and Pinilla (2020); in the second, by Spiller (1992) and Hyland (2002). Regarding Shakespeare s sonnets, Collin (2008), Edmondson and Wells (2004) and Duncan-Jones (1997) stand out; and as to Shakespeare s lyric poetry in Brazilian Portuguese translations, the critical works of Wanderley (1991), Silva Ramos (2008) and Walker (2018) were fundamental. In the period of nearly 12 decades, 18 translators published full or partial Brazilian translations of the 154-sonnet series, using different formal schemes, thus constituting a rich and diversified repertoire available to Portuguese-speaking readers. By analyzing these translations and translators, we expect to contribute to the historiography of translation in Brazil in general and that of Shakespeare s sonnets in particular.

The collection of sonnets Rings of a Thundering Tree (2000), by R.K. Belcher, is rich in metaphorical imagery; lending itself particularly well to textual analyses of imagined sensory perceptions. Although perspectives on or theories about metaphor can be deployed in such analyses, an imagined sense of sensory perception in itself theoretically frames the study of this poetic imagery. In this regard, the titles of the sonnets within this collection and their themes, as well as the title of the collection and the theme of ”South African decay” (with which this title is linked), are explored with an emphasis on imagined sensory experiences. / English Studies / M.A. (English)

<p>Монографски приказ песничких облика у одређеном периоду српске књижевности, настао на корпусу дела српских неосимболистичких песника, корак је ка валоризовању форме и незанемаривању проблема формализације путем утврђених правила. Проучавање репертоара песничких облика ових песника модернизоване традиције, препознавање употребе облика, извођење типолошке поделе као и маркирање начина на који се односе према облику (у којој мери и на који начин се крше строга и утврђена правила; ради ли се о деструкцији или стилизацији облика), представљаће допринос управо континуираном актуализовању питања сталних облика. Премда је о неосимболистичким песницима доста писано, има значајних текстова у којима се тумачи њихова поетика, није истражено, међутим, који су се све песнички облици и на који начин употребљавали, нити је компаративно сагледана специфичност поступака свих песника ове оријентације. Само се у својству примера могу уочити понеке песме ових песника у радовима који систематски представљају све сталне облике<br />песме, строфе и стиха. Циљ нашег истраживања је да сагледа поетичке претпоставке неосимболистичког песништва из аспекта опредељења за утврђене песничке облике; да издвоји промишљања о облицима појединих песника ове групе исказана у есејима, са освртом на начелне разлике у схватању; да уочи доследност између поетичких исказа и конкретних песничких остварења, и коначно, да укаже на врсте и одлике облика којима су се служили, као и на поступке којима су их модернизовали. Све до данашњег дана остало је занемарено студиозно проматрање и интерпретирање принципа грађења песме, па чак и нека компаративна анализа примене песничких облика неосимболиста и песника на које су се угледали.<br />У првом поглављу докторске дисертације Песнички облици српског неосимболизма осврнућемо се на појам песнички облици, дати преглед постојеће литературе о сталним облицима, указати на претходна сазнања и методолошки оквир истраживања. Потом ћемо сагледати основне поетичке постулате неосимболистичког песништва и издвојити склоност према сталним облицима као вид односа према традицији и представити грађу (библиографија облика у песничким књигама).<br />Друго поглавље, поред књижевно-историјског контекста српског неосимболистичког песништва, којим се указује на утицај модерне поезије како европске тако и наше, те активирање и модернизовање песничке традиције, представиће и свесност значаја форме опипљиву у експлицитној поетици ових песника.<br />Главно поглавље монографије пружиће преглед сталних облика песме и строфе којима су се песници изражавали. Биће издвојени облици по пореклу: романски (који су и најзаступљенији), грчко-<br />византијски и класични. Прегледно ће све песме истог облика наведених песника бити груписане, свака интерпретирана понаособ и у односу на песме других аутора. Издвојиће се и одређени типови строфа преузети из традиције; интерпретативно ће се указати на однос слободног и везаног стиха, указати на обнову стихова из класичне, европске и домаће традиције.<br />Закључак ће генерално одговорити које су особености избора песничких облика и поступања с традицијом песника друге послератне песничке генерације, затим извести проблематику принципа грађења песама усклађену са поетичким моментима и иновације у поступцима структурирања чиме су начинили помаке на развојној линији српске поезије.</p> / <p>Monografski prikaz pesničkih oblika u određenom periodu srpske književnosti, nastao na korpusu dela srpskih neosimbolističkih pesnika, korak je ka valorizovanju forme i nezanemarivanju problema formalizacije putem utvrđenih pravila. Proučavanje repertoara pesničkih oblika ovih pesnika modernizovane tradicije, prepoznavanje upotrebe oblika, izvođenje tipološke podele kao i markiranje načina na koji se odnose prema obliku (u kojoj meri i na koji način se krše stroga i utvrđena pravila; radi li se o destrukciji ili stilizaciji oblika), predstavljaće doprinos upravo kontinuiranom aktualizovanju pitanja stalnih oblika. Premda je o neosimbolističkim pesnicima dosta pisano, ima značajnih tekstova u kojima se tumači njihova poetika, nije istraženo, međutim, koji su se sve pesnički oblici i na koji način upotrebljavali, niti je komparativno sagledana specifičnost postupaka svih pesnika ove orijentacije. Samo se u svojstvu primera mogu uočiti poneke pesme ovih pesnika u radovima koji sistematski predstavljaju sve stalne oblike<br />pesme, strofe i stiha. Cilj našeg istraživanja je da sagleda poetičke pretpostavke neosimbolističkog pesništva iz aspekta opredeljenja za utvrđene pesničke oblike; da izdvoji promišljanja o oblicima pojedinih pesnika ove grupe iskazana u esejima, sa osvrtom na načelne razlike u shvatanju; da uoči doslednost između poetičkih iskaza i konkretnih pesničkih ostvarenja, i konačno, da ukaže na vrste i odlike oblika kojima su se služili, kao i na postupke kojima su ih modernizovali. Sve do današnjeg dana ostalo je zanemareno studiozno promatranje i interpretiranje principa građenja pesme, pa čak i neka komparativna analiza primene pesničkih oblika neosimbolista i pesnika na koje su se ugledali.<br />U prvom poglavlju doktorske disertacije Pesnički oblici srpskog neosimbolizma osvrnućemo se na pojam pesnički oblici, dati pregled postojeće literature o stalnim oblicima, ukazati na prethodna saznanja i metodološki okvir istraživanja. Potom ćemo sagledati osnovne poetičke postulate neosimbolističkog pesništva i izdvojiti sklonost prema stalnim oblicima kao vid odnosa prema tradiciji i predstaviti građu (bibliografija oblika u pesničkim knjigama).<br />Drugo poglavlje, pored književno-istorijskog konteksta srpskog neosimbolističkog pesništva, kojim se ukazuje na uticaj moderne poezije kako evropske tako i naše, te aktiviranje i modernizovanje pesničke tradicije, predstaviće i svesnost značaja forme opipljivu u eksplicitnoj poetici ovih pesnika.<br />Glavno poglavlje monografije pružiće pregled stalnih oblika pesme i strofe kojima su se pesnici izražavali. Biće izdvojeni oblici po poreklu: romanski (koji su i najzastupljeniji), grčko-<br />vizantijski i klasični. Pregledno će sve pesme istog oblika navedenih pesnika biti grupisane, svaka interpretirana ponaosob i u odnosu na pesme drugih autora. Izdvojiće se i određeni tipovi strofa preuzeti iz tradicije; interpretativno će se ukazati na odnos slobodnog i vezanog stiha, ukazati na obnovu stihova iz klasične, evropske i domaće tradicije.<br />Zaključak će generalno odgovoriti koje su osobenosti izbora pesničkih oblika i postupanja s tradicijom pesnika druge posleratne pesničke generacije, zatim izvesti problematiku principa građenja pesama usklađenu sa poetičkim momentima i inovacije u postupcima strukturiranja čime su načinili pomake na razvojnoj liniji srpske poezije.</p> / <p>Founded on the body of works by Serbian<br />neosymbolist poets, this monographic<br />presentation of poetic forms in a particular<br />period of Serbian literature is a step toward the<br />evaluation of the form and represents due<br />acknowledgement of the formalization problem<br />by means of established rules. Studying the<br />repertoire of poetic forms of these poets<br />belonging to a modernized tradition,<br />recognizing their form usage, proposing<br />typological classifications and marking the<br />manners in which they are related to the form<br />(how and to which extent are strict and<br />predefined rules broken; is there any destruction<br />or stylization of forms) will contribute to the<br />continued actualization of the issue of fixed<br />forms. Much has been written on neosymbolist<br />poets and there are significant texts in which<br />their poetics is interpreted. Nevertheless, it has<br />never been researched which poetic forms are<br />used and how, nor has there ever been any<br />comparative analysis of specific techniques of<br />all the poets within this orientation. Some<br />poems of these poets can only be recognized as<br />examples in the papers systematically<br />presenting all fixed forms of poems, stanzas,<br />and verses. The goal of this research is to<br />analyze poetic preconceptions of neosymbolist<br />poetry in terms of commitment to established<br />poetic forms. In addition, the research aims to<br />pinpoint the thoughts on the forms of the<br />respective poets within this group expressed in<br />essays, paying attention to fundamental<br />differences in their understanding, and to notice<br />consistency in poetic statements and particular<br />poetic achievements. Finally, it highlights the<br />types and characteristics of the forms used by<br />Serbian neosymbolist poets, as well as the<br />techniques applied in their modernization.<br />Studious consideration and interpretation of<br />principles involved in writing poems have been<br />neglected to this very day, just like any<br />comparative analysis of the use of poetic forms<br />by neosymbolists and the poets they revered.<br />The first chapter of the doctoral thesis<br />Poetic Forms of Serbian Neosymbolism takes a<br />look at the notion of poetic forms, offers an<br />overview of the existing literature dealing with<br />fixed forms, and indicates previous findings and<br />the methodological framework of this research.<br />Then the basic poetic postulates of neosymbolist<br />poetry are considered and the tendency toward<br />fixed forms as a kind of relation to tradition is<br />highlighted. Finally, the first chapter brings the<br />overview of the corpus &ndash; bibliography of forms<br />in poetic books.<br />The second chapter presents the awareness<br />of the significance of the form tangible in the<br />explicit poetics of these poets. It also underlines<br />the literary and historical context of Serbian<br />neosymbolist poetry, which indicates the<br />influence of both European and Serbian modern<br />poetry, as well as the activation and<br />modernization of poetic tradition.<br />The central chapter of this monograph<br />presents an overview of fixed forms of poems<br />and stanzas used by Serbian neosymbolist poets.<br />Based on their origin, forms are classified as:<br />Roman (the most common), Greek-Byzantine<br />and classical. All the poems by the listed poets<br />using the same forms are clearly grouped, and<br />each of them interpreted, on its own and in<br />relation to the poems by the other authors.<br />Certain types of stanzas taken from the tradition<br />are listed as well. The relation between free and<br />rhymed verse is highlighted interpretively and<br />the revival of verses stemming from classical,<br />European and Serbian tradition is underscored<br />too.<br />In general, the conclusion proposes the<br />characteristics of chosen poetic forms and the<br />usage of the tradition of the second postwar<br />generation of poets. Furthermore, it draws<br />attention to the issue of poem creating<br />principles harmonized with poetic eras, and to<br />innovation in structuring techniques which<br />brought improvements in the development of<br />Serbian poetry.</p>

Although Andrew Marvell wrote and published relatively little, his poetry collects from the full range of “schools” and idiosyncratic styles present in the seventeenth century: echoes of Herbert, Donne, Milton, Traherne, Herrick, Lovelace, and Jonson, among others, permeate throughout his work. Although much of his imagery seems novel, if not strange, it is clear that Marvell has a deep engagement with several important long-running traditions. His work is conversation with Ovid, Horace, and Theocritus as much as it responds directly to the poets whose lives overlapped with his own. In his engagement with such varied sources, Marvell demonstrates an astounding degree of poetic flexibility. He is a master of imitating voice and style.
