SUMMARY:Spring Semester with Mark Schenker: Tennyson's "Idylls of the King" (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library online via Zoom as Mark Schenker takes us through Tennyson’s Idylls of the King\, a Victorian take on the medieval Arthurian legends.\n\n\nIn the early 19th century\, the rise of Romanticism in Europe generally\, and in England in particular\, led to a renewed interest in medievalism. Consequences of this resurgence persisted into the Victorian Period and included the revival of the Gothic in architecture and of Roman Catholic and Anglo-Catholic thinking in philosophy and religion.\n\n\nA nationalistic figure from the Middle Age\, King Arthur—who may or may not have been historical—was the subject of treatments by 19th-century writers as diverse as Alfred\, Lord Tennyson and Mark Twain. Earlier\, the 12th-century Geoffrey of Monmouth\, writing in Latin\, placed Arthur in the tradition of British kings\, relying more on his own imagination than on historical sources. In the same century the French poet Chrétien de Troyes introduced the important themes of the Holy Grail\, the court of Camelot\, and the adulterous affair between Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere.\n\n\nIn the 15th century\, Thomas Malory wrote Le Morte D’Arthur in Middle English prose while drawing mainly on French sources. Its publication in 1485 made it one of the first books ever to be printed in England. It was this work that Tennyson used when he published his Idylls of the King\, 12 tales of Arthur and his knights\, written in verse and published from 1859 to 1885.\n\n\nSchenker will present a program in six sessions with reference also to the source tales found in Malory’s text. Participants will read all 12 of Tennyson’s narrative poems and will be directed to read\, if they care to\, the corresponding stories in Malory\, available online. Mark will emphasize connections and contrasts\, and will place Tennyson’s work in its Victorian context.\n\n \n\n\nThere is no charge for the program. These lectures are made possible with the support of the Literary Series in Memory of Amy Quigley. Advance registration is required. Register online.\n\n\nMark J. Schenker\, having served in various decanal roles in Yale College since 1990\, retired last year. A former lecturer in the English Department\, he received his Ph.D. from Columbia University with a concentration in 19th-century and early 20th-century English Literature. He had taught previously at Columbia\, New York University\, and Trinity College (Hartford\, CT). Outside of academia\, Mark has for over 35 years lectured on literature and film\, and has led book discussion series in more than 100 venues in Connecticut\, including public libraries\, museums\, and cultural centers.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:Poetry Discussion with Janet Krauss: The Poetry of Ruth Stone (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Join Wilton Library online with Janet Krauss leading a discussion of a selection of Ruth Stone’s poems. Links to the poems and discussion questions will be emailed in advance of the program.\n\n\nAs quoted in Poetry Foundation\, “Ruth Stone’s lyrics are known for their accuracy\, strangeness\, and ability to speak to domestic concerns and metaphysical problems at once.” Her poems clearly flow forth from the pain\, loss\, and poverty she endured.\n\n\nStone’s husband\, poet Walter Stone\, committed suicide and left her with their three young children. “Shock and grief of her loss infused her poetry the rest of her life.”\n\n\nStone lived in a rural farmhouse in Vermont for much of her life. Her granddaughter Bianca subsequently established Stone’s simple\, farmhouse home as a poet’s residence after her death. During her later years\, Stone received wide recognition with the publication of her book of poems Ordinary Words (1999). Several more acclaimed books followed. She was a Pulitzer Prize finalist and secured a professorship of English in 1990 at SUNY Binghamton\, receiving numerous prestigious awards.\n\n\nWriting poems was a saving grace for Stone. When inspired\, she indeed expressed that she “felt a poem coming like a horse galloping towards her and had to catch it – if not….”\n\n \n\n\nExplore the ideas above in the beginning of an introduction to Stone.\n\n\nKrauss\, who has two books of poetry published\, Borrowed Scenery\, Yuganta Press\, and Through the Trees of Autumn\, Spartina Press\, has recently retired from teaching English at Fairfield University.\n\n\nThere is no charge for this program. Advance registration is required. Register online to receive the Zoom session invitation link\, and readings packet.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:Spring Semester with Mark Schenker: Tennyson's "Idylls of the King" (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library online via Zoom as Mark Schenker takes us through Tennyson’s Idylls of the King\, a Victorian take on the medieval Arthurian legends.\n\n\nIn the early 19th century\, the rise of Romanticism in Europe generally\, and in England in particular\, led to a renewed interest in medievalism. Consequences of this resurgence persisted into the Victorian Period and included the revival of the Gothic in architecture and of Roman Catholic and Anglo-Catholic thinking in philosophy and religion.\n\n\nA nationalistic figure from the Middle Age\, King Arthur—who may or may not have been historical—was the subject of treatments by 19th-century writers as diverse as Alfred\, Lord Tennyson and Mark Twain. Earlier\, the 12th-century Geoffrey of Monmouth\, writing in Latin\, placed Arthur in the tradition of British kings\, relying more on his own imagination than on historical sources. In the same century the French poet Chrétien de Troyes introduced the important themes of the Holy Grail\, the court of Camelot\, and the adulterous affair between Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere.\n\n\nIn the 15th century\, Thomas Malory wrote Le Morte D’Arthur in Middle English prose while drawing mainly on French sources. Its publication in 1485 made it one of the first books ever to be printed in England. It was this work that Tennyson used when he published his Idylls of the King\, 12 tales of Arthur and his knights\, written in verse and published from 1859 to 1885.\n\n\nSchenker will present a program in six sessions with reference also to the source tales found in Malory’s text. Participants will read all 12 of Tennyson’s narrative poems and will be directed to read\, if they care to\, the corresponding stories in Malory\, available online. Mark will emphasize connections and contrasts\, and will place Tennyson’s work in its Victorian context.\n\n \n\n\nThere is no charge for the program. These lectures are made possible with the support of the Literary Series in Memory of Amy Quigley. Advance registration is required. Register online.\n\n\nMark J. Schenker\, having served in various decanal roles in Yale College since 1990\, retired last year. A former lecturer in the English Department\, he received his Ph.D. from Columbia University with a concentration in 19th-century and early 20th-century English Literature. He had taught previously at Columbia\, New York University\, and Trinity College (Hartford\, CT). Outside of academia\, Mark has for over 35 years lectured on literature and film\, and has led book discussion series in more than 100 venues in Connecticut\, including public libraries\, museums\, and cultural centers.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:Poetry Discussion with Janet Krauss: The Poetry of A. R. Ammons (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library online as Janet Krauss leads a discussion of a selection of poems by A.R. Ammons. Links to the poems will be emailed in advance of the program.\n\n\nThe spirit of Nature runs through Ammons’ soul. That is the Transcendental belief. A critic said that Ammons adheres “to a fidelity to details of nature” as he writes in a “contemporary conventional style.” He sees his identity as a “part of a larger continuum.”\n\n\nThe poet was born in 1920 and died in 2001. He was born in rural North Carolina on a cotton and tobacco farm during the Great Depression. His farm life inspired his poems. He taught at Cornell from 1964-1998\, won numerous poetry awards\, and the prestigious Bollingen Prize for American Poetry.\n\n\nWe will trace the Transcendental influence of Emerson and Dickinson in his poems.\n\n\nJanet Krauss\, who has two books of poetry published\, Borrowed Scenery and Through the Trees of Autumn\, has recently retired from teaching English at Fairfield University.\n\n \n\n\nAdvance registration is required. Register on the Wilton Library website in order to receive the Zoom session invitation link and readings packet.\n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...

SUMMARY:Fall Semester with Mark Schenker: A Survey of Literary Utopias (Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Please join Wilton Library online via Zoom as Mark Schenker takes us on a guided tour of several literary utopias and dystopias spanning several hundred years.\n\n\nEver since Sir Thomas More (1478-1535) created the word “utopia” in the early 16th century\, the double meaning of his coinage has informed centuries of Utopian literature in English. (The Greek outopia means “no place\,” while eutopia means “good place.”) Since More’s Utopia\, writers such as Jonathan Swift and Margaret Atwood have created imagined worlds that reveal the dystopian reality behind the utopian dream.\n\n\nAfter beginning with More’s masterpiece\, Schenker will survey other literary works from each of the past six centuries—books that engage the quest for societal perfection\, the limits of human aspiration\, and the various meanings of the old saying that “the perfect is the enemy of the good.”\n\n\nThe schedule for the series is below (please note that the sessions are not all on the same day of the week and also stretch from September to November):\nSept. 7 – Utopia\, Sir Thomas More\nSept. 14 – Gulliver’s Travels\, Jonathan Swift\nSept. 21 – Erewhon\, Samuel Butler\nSept. 28 – The Handmaid’s Tale\, Margaret Atwood\nOct. 3 – King Lear\, William Shakespeare\nOct. 10 – Station Eleven\, Emily St. John Mandel\nNov. 2 – Cloud Cuckoo Land\, Anthony Doerr.\n\n\nRegistration is required. Register online or call 203.762.6334.  Please email Michael Bellacosa with any questions.\n\n \n\n\nMark J. Schenker\, having served in various decanal roles in Yale College since 1990\, retired at the end of June. A former lecturer in the English Department\, he received his Ph.D. from Columbia University with a concentration in 19th-century and early 20th-century English Literature.\n\n\nThese lectures are made possible with the support of the Literary Series in Memory of Amy Quigley.\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n	See more related GMW stories...
