The Artistic Commitment of Kenyon Cox: An American Neoclassical Artist
2016
At the end of the nineteenth century, the United States had undergone deep transformations. The second Industrial Revolution had created huge amounts of new wealth and power. This led to an alteration of the urban social fabric and to a repositioning of the country on the international scene.Since the 1870s, the American Renaissance had been a vehicle for the diffusion of new values and new concepts. As a broad neoclassical movement in the arts, it was committed to a rewriting of the country’s national past.At the time, Kenyon Cox (1856-1919) distinguished himself as one of the major artists of the movement, but also as one of its most influential critics and theorists. Cox developed theori…
Latin Epic Poetry for James I of Aragon: the Poem Triumphus Valentinus by the Valencian Novator Josep Ignasi Barberà
2013
El poema Triumphus Valentinus del valencià Josep Ignasi Barberà, obra encara inèdita i poc coneguda, està format per més de cinc mil hexàmetres llatins que narren la presa de Valencia per part del rei Jaume I. Es tracta d’un poema de principi del segle xviii, amb característiques pròpies del gust neoclàssic i preil·lustrat, on coincideixen l’interès per la història valenciana, la tradició clàssica grecoromana i el reflex del canvi dinàstic a la corona hispànica. El model estètic seguit per l’autor és clarament l’Eneida de Virgili, tant per forma com per contingut. Malgrat l’interès mostrat per autors coetanis com Gregori Maians, l’obra ha passat pràcticament desapercebuda. The poem Triumphu…
L’Arioste et l’Empire. Réflexions sur les rédactions du Roland furieux
2011
Révisant la thèse communément admise de la « dimension impériale » de la troisième rédaction du Roland furieux (1532), l’article montre l’ambiguïté de l’éloge que l’Arioste adresse à Charles-Quint, à partir des faiblesses de l’image de Charlemagne et de l’importance donnée à des personnes tel qu’Andrea Doria. La reprise de l’esthétique des poètes de l’âge d’Auguste n’est pas l’effet de la geste impériale mais reprend les développements de la poésie à la cour de Ferrare, lieu de l’élaboration d’un canon de la poésie de goût classique.Revisando la tesis comúnmente admitida de la «dimensión imperial» de la tercera redacción del Orlando furioso (1532), este artículo muestra la ambigüedad del el…
The Romantics of 1909: Arthur Symons, Pierre Lasserre and T. E. Hulme
2016
Arthur Symons’s The Romantic Movement in English Poetry (1909) has elicited scant discussion. Part dictionary of British authors born before 1800, part series of portraits of canonical Romantic poets, The Romantic Movement remains perplexing with its unclear purpose and ungainly format. This article argues that Symons’s monograph should be approached in the turn of the century debate on the definition and value of British Romanticism. As opposed to T. E. Hulme’s ‘Romanticism and Classicism’ (1912?), itself indebted to Pierre Lasserre’s Le Romantisme français. Essai sur la révolution dans les sentiments et dans les idées au XIXe siècle (1907), Symons’s study appears as a defence of the roman…
