4.9/5 (31757 ratings)

Description:'Hunger, Poetry and the Doctrine of Reserve' identifies the crucial link between moderation and poetry in the way Tractarians addressed hunger in the community. The founders of the Tractarian movement - Newman, Keble, Pusey - were well known as poets, theologians and parish ministers. The book looks through this triple lens to examine their influence on second-generation Tractarians, or Anglo-Catholics, as well as at the Catholic influence that went beyond the narrower Tractarian path: that is, the dispersion of the Oxford movement's connection between poetry, theology and social activism through the nineteenth century, in order to reveal their long-lasting impact on social thought. Christina Rossetti is a key Anglo-Catholic poet, but this project also looks at the works of Gerard Manley Hopkins, Coventry Patmore, Alice Meynell and Adelaide Anne Procter, who were all influenced by the Tractarians but then converted to Roman Catholicism, and Lord Alfred Tennyson, who was influenced by the Oxford movement and Catholicism while studying at Cambridge. Importantly, these poets were invested in the social issues that fed into their poetic works, beyond the creative production into the broader community.The marginalization of many Anglo-Catholic priests who, while not technically being excluded from the established church, were not given livings because of the fear of Romanism, and instead found themselves ministering in the poorest areas, provide a uniquely proximate perspective on hunger that is arguably more radical, because personal, than the broader performance of radicalism in speeches and petitions to parliament. The poetic works of Rossetti, Hopkins, Procter, Patmore, Meynell and Tennyson are significant in the way they engage simultaneously with emotional and spiritual reserve, juxtaposed with a willingness to be proximate to the hungry. The affective consequences of this kind of connection can be traumatic, and is written most effectively through the rhetoric of the senses, primarily taste and touch. The metaphorical renditions of these senses (judgement and affect, respectively) are positioned poetically to moderate hunger: taste calms through suggesting choice, while affect suggests human connection. However, the reality of physical and social hungers that deny choice and connection are at the heart of the Anglo-Catholic concern. Poetic form, like ritual, provides a containing structure that moderates and frames emotional and sensory response.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
