Chapter Six: City of Ruins -- Chapter Seven: Babylon and the Coordinates of Romance -- Conclusion."Combining remarkable erudition with a clear and accessible style, Babylon under Western Eyes is the first comprehensive examination of Babylon's significance within the pantheon of western literature and a testimonial to the continuing influence of biblical, classical, and medieval paradigms in modern culture."--Provided by publisher."Babylon under Western Eyes examines the mythic legacy of ancient Babylon, the Near Eastern city which has served western culture as a metaphor for power, luxury, and exotic magnificence for more than two thousand years. Sifting through the many references to Babylon in biblical, classical, medieval, and modern texts, Andrew Scheil uses Babylon's remarkable literary ubiquity as the foundation for a thorough analysis of the dynamics of adaptation and allusion in western literature. Touching on everything from Old English poetry to the contemporary apocalyptic fiction of the "Left Behind" series, Scheil outlines how medieval Christian society and its cultural successors have adopted Babylon as a political metaphor, a degenerate archetype, and a place associated with the sublime."--Provided by publisher.European literatureHistory and criticismAllusions in literatureMythology in literaturePopular culture in literatureBabylon (Extinct city)In literatureLibros electronicos.European literatureHistory and criticism.Allusions in literature.Mythology in literature.Popular culture in literature.809.9332355Scheil Andrew , authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.1474383DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910798120403321Babylon Under Western Eyes3688063UNINA02818nam 2200613 450 991080915940332120230807220056.0(CKB)3710000000435696(EBL)2065964(SSID)ssj0001517941(PQKBManifestationID)12565184(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001517941(PQKBWorkID)11506419(PQKB)11663745(MiAaPQ)EBC2065964(DLC) 2015019884(Au-PeEL)EBL2065964(CaPaEBR)ebr11067210(CaONFJC)MIL799407(OCoLC)910009530(EXLCZ)99371000000043569620150701h20152015 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrToward a new maritime strategy American naval thinking in the post-Cold War era /Peter D.

The Poet as Patriarch -- Epilogue -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- Works Cited -- IndexThe marriage of Nathaniel and Sophia Hawthorne-for their contemporaries a model of true love and married happiness-was also a scene of revulsion and combat. T. Walter Herbert reveals the tragic conflicts beneath the Hawthorne's ideal of domestic fulfillment and shows how their marriage reflected the tensions within nineteenth-century society. In so doing, he sheds new light on Hawthorne's fiction, with its obsessive themes of guilt and grief, balked feminism and homosexual seduction, adultery, patricide, and incest.New historicism ;24.Domestic fiction, AmericanHistory and criticismNovelists, American19th centuryBiographyAuthors' spousesUnited StatesBiographyPsychoanalysis and literatureMiddle class in literatureMarriage in literatureFamilies in literatureDomestic fiction, AmericanHistory and criticism.Novelists, AmericanAuthors' spousesPsychoanalysis and literature.Middle class in literature.Marriage in literature.Families in literature.813/.3BHerbert T.
