Download or read book Cleanness written by Kevin Gustafson and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2010-04-30 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition provides a new facing-page translation of an important Middle English alliterative poem, generally attributed to the author of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. A complex meditation on courtly and religious ideals, Cleanness has been praised for its densely figurative language, elaborate descriptive set pieces, and moving depictions of cosmic and human drama. More recently, the poem has also attracted attention for contributing to the history of sexuality in its comparatively frank discussion of sexual practices. Kevin Gustafson’s new translation captures the original’s poetic qualities while making the often difficult text accessible to modern readers. The facing-page format allows readers to experience the original alliterative Middle English and to compare the texts. Appendices include relevant verses from the Douay-Rheims Bible and excerpts from contemporary romances, chronicles, and theological writings.

Download or read book Landor's Cleanness written by Adam Roberts and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-11-27 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cleanness, both in the sense of a neoclassical stylistic purity and of an individual moral and political probity, was centrally important to Walter Savage Landor's writing, both in his prose and poetry. At the same time, this commitment to purity was contaminated in a variety of eloquent and complicating uncleannesses: his own fiery temper and frequent rages; his sometimes scurrilous and sexually explicit Latin poems; and the innovative, compacted, proto-Modernist verse style of works such as his epic Gebir, as stylistically-tangled and potent a poem ever produced in the Romantic era. The present study, the first comprehensive study of Landor's writing for nearly half a century, addresses the whole of Landor's prodigious output over the seven decades of his writing life, in verse, prose, and drama, in English and Latin: from the brief lyrics by which (if at all) he is remembered today up to his idylls, tragedies, and epics; from his pamphlets and essays to historical novels like Pericles and Aspasia and the textual colossus of the Imaginary Conversations. 'Cleanness' becomes the organising principle by which this heterogeneous and multivocal body of work is read. At once a survey of Landor's output and life, a critically engaged reading of his work and an interrogation of the principles of poetry itself, Landor's Cleanness seeks to reconfigure the map of Romantic and Victorian writing, and move Landor's reputation at least some way in the direction of the eminence he once enjoyed: as a major writer of his time, both intensely characteristic of the nineteenth-century and startlingly relevant to the twenty-first.

Download or read book The Culture of Cleanliness in Renaissance Italy written by Douglas Biow and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concerned about sanitation during a severe bout of plague in Milan, Leonardo da Vinci designed an ideal, clean city. Leonardo was far from alone among his contemporaries in thinking about personal and public hygiene, as Douglas Biow shows in The Culture of Cleanliness in Renaissance Italy. A concern for cleanliness, he argues, was everywhere in the Renaissance.Anxieties about cleanliness were expressed in literature from humanist panegyrics to bawdy carnival songs, as well as in the visual arts. Biow surveys them all to explain why the topic so permeated Renaissance culture. At one level, cleanliness, he documents, was a matter of real concern in the Renaissance. At another, he finds, issues such as human dignity, self-respect, self-discipline, social distinction, and originality were rethought as a matter of artistic concern.The Culture of Cleanliness in Renaissance Italy moves from the clean to the unclean, from the lofty to the base. Biow first examines the socially elevated, who defined and distinguished themselves as clean, pure, and polite. He then turns to soap, an increasingly common commodity in this period, and the figure of the washerwoman. Finally he focuses on latrines, which were universally scorned yet functioned artistically as figures of baseness, creativity, and fun in the works of Dante and Boccaccio. Paralleling this social stratification is a hierarchy of literary and visual artifacts, from the discourse of high humanism to filthy curses and scatological songs. Deftly bringing together high and low-as well as literary and visual-cultures, this book provides a fresh perspective on the Italian Renaissance and its artistic legacy.

Students of primary and high school are as if the rolls of mud and teachers are perfect potters to shape these mud rolls. The task to enamel of gold to these students-mud rolls to change into civilized, well-educated is being done continually by teachers. Because students follow all the guidance of not only parents but also teachers with the same delicacy. That's why students also learn along with the regular curriculum - How to behave in the society and serve the nation as well as parents when they take responsibilities of their family, such guidance is offered to them by their respective teachers. We also owe to the nation where we have our food and water. With this feeling , inspired Headmaster of Z.P. school of Hataipura, Kandhar, Mr. Rajiv Tidke has been seen to take social responsibilities through his cleanliness campaigns all the time. Popular among students, Rajiv Tidke got the new stimulation of cleaning the surroundings of school when he was in the Z. P. school Kamari, Taluka Hadgaon, District Nanded. Teachers and students were always harassed because of the dirtiness spread in the surrounding area of the school for many years and students always faced illness. One day as usual, peons and students gathered in front of the school. The peon was not ready to open the lock. Rajiv Tidke saw that someone had applied human feces on the lock. After the instructions given to the peon, the lock was washed clean and the school opened. After this the prayer was recited but this incident made Rajiv Tidke restless. He saw litters of notebooks spread in the surrounding area of the school. Trained under the guidance of Scout, Rajiv Tidke lifted human feces in the school campus and threw it away out of the school. After seeing the task of the cleanliness of their teacher, students themselves lifted feces and threw out of the campus of school. During a short time, the campus was cleaned. This act remained the first cleanliness campaign of Rajiv Tidke. Absorbing this motivation in his soul, he cleaned the entire school and the campus of school with the help of the students and teachers by giving some time for this activity every day. Then with the curriculum activities during the WorkExperience periods Rajiv Tidke cleaned lanes of various areas, gutters, roads, junk areas of Kamari village with the co-operation of the sarpanch, citizens, colleagues, teachers and students. And with this real work, villagers along his students were imbibed the importance of cleanliness. In this way, at each place where he got transferred, on holidays as well as during Work Experience periods, Rajiv Tidke practically organised cleanliness campaigns to convince the importance of cleanliness, joining hands with the sarpanch, citizens, colleagues and students. Especially the campaigns at Loha, Malegaon and Malkapur are noteworthy. At present, Rajiv Tidke is the Headmaster of Z. P. school of Hataipura, Kandhar, Taluka Kandhar, the campus and the surrounding area of this school has been also cleaned with the co-operation of colleague teachers and students. The school is also digitalized recently without the government help, he raised money from the public fund and he also added his own amount to digitalize the school. The school walls are turned totally interactive to increase the interest of students in learning. Each student should easily recite to learn all formulae, words, proverbs, good thoughts, and quotes. For this achievement, the school is transferred beautifully to shape the nation's future pillars i.e. students. He has tried to reach the massage towards citizens, ‘Plant trees, save trees’ by arranging the tree plantation program practically in the surrounding area of the school. He is also conserving and protecting these trees all the time. The entire experiences of his work, Rajiv Tidke has described in his mother tongue through his book, (Swacchtetun Samrudhikade - स्वच्छतेतून समृद्धीकडे ),FROM CLEANLINESS TO PROSPERITY, without any hesitation.
