Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Lilith, a Dramatic Poem' is a profound and lyrical exploration of one of mythology's most enigmatic figures. Written by the celebrated American poet George Sterling, this verse drama delves into the legend of Lilith-the primordial woman who precedes Eve-and her complex relationship with Adam and the spiritual world. Set against a backdrop of cosmic stakes and existential longing, the work examines themes of rebellion, the pursuit of absolute beauty, and the inherent tragedy of human desire.Sterling's mastery of language is on full display as he crafts a narrative that is both ethereal and emotionally resonant. The poem portrays Lilith not merely as a tempter, but as a symbol of the unattainable and the eternal mysteries that haunt the human soul. Through rich imagery and rhythmic intensity, 'Lilith, a Dramatic Poem' captures the essence of the Decadent movement in American literature, blending classical mythological elements with a modern philosophical depth.As a central piece in Sterling's body of work, this dramatic poem remains a significant contribution to early 20th-century literature. It offers readers a sophisticated meditation on morality, freedom, and the haunting presence of the past. This work is essential for those interested in epic poetry, mythological reinterpretations, and the legacy of California's Bohemian literary circles.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Poisoned cigars, seductive apparitions, minds and empires in the last of their decline and the most notorious kiss in dramatic history - decadent plays challenged the moral as much as the dramatic imagination of their own day, and continue to probe horizons of taste and the possibilities of stagecraft.In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many writers reacted to urban modernity by embracing decadent themes and styles, and dramatists were no exception. Decadence offered these writers a framework for exploring nonconformist identities and beliefs that challenged behavioural norms as much as the desirability of modern progress. Decadent plays were at once behind the times in their celebration of antiquity, and forward-thinking in their staging of themes that have become all the more timely in the 21st century, including queerness, unconventional eroticism, and critiques of empire and industrial progress. Equally, the diversity of decadent drama cannot be pigeon-holed; many of these plays still have the capacity to offend worldviews, and invite us to interrogate present-day conventions and propriety.International in scope and eclectic in content, this edited anthology is an authoritative and accessible introduction to a fast-expanding field of decadent literature. The first publication of its kind to deal with decadent drama, and featuring plays translated into English for the first time, Decadent Plays: 1890 to 1930 breaks new ground by foregrounding decadence as a dramatic sensibility in this most pivotal of periods in the history of modern drama.Featuring canonical and little-known works by Oscar Wilde, Michael Field, Lesya Ukrainka, Rachilde, Remy de Gourmont, Jean Lorrain, Leonid Andreyev, Gabriele D'Annunzio, Maurice Maeterlinck, Izumi Kyoka, and Djuna Barnes, this anthology is an essential introduction to decadent drama that will pique the interest of specialists and non-specialists alike.
