Omschrijving
A study of the writings of Polish laureate Czesław Miłosz perspectives on transcendence and religious belief in a secular age through creative engagement with sensual or material experience.
Bill's analyses let readers see the human situations that ground seemingly abstract concepts. His fusion of biographical, historical and literary foci is so deftly managed that it seems almost beyond mention: this is the sort of grounded yet conceptually sophisticated reading strategy that makes sense now that the heyday of high theory has passed.
Bill brings Miłosz's ideas together in a discussion of his view of poetic language as both an embodied and immaterial entity...Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
The volume is a welcome contribution to the field of Miłosz studies and will be an indispensable resource for scholars and students of Miłosz and religion, as well as those interested in twentieth-century literature, secularisation and the post-secular.
Stanley Bill is Director of the Polish Studies Programme at the University of Cambridge. He works on twentieth-century Polish literature and culture, and on contemporary politics in Poland. He has published articles on populism and civil society, postcolonial theory in the Polish context, legacies of Polish Romanticism, and the works of Czesław Miłosz, Bruno Schulz, and Fyodor Dostoevsky. His translation of Miłosz's novel The Mountains of Parnassus was published by Yale University Press in 2017. He is founder and editor-at-large of the news and opinion website Notes from Poland.
