Reimagining moderation: the Miltonic example. 330 $aThis book examines how English writers from the Elizabethan period to the Restoration transformed and contested the ancient ideal of the virtuous mean. As early modern authors learned at grammar school and university, Aristotle and other classical thinkers praised "golden means" balanced between extremes: courage, for example, as opposed to cowardice or recklessness. By uncovering the enormous variety of English responses to this ethical doctrine, Joshua Scodel revises our understanding of the vital interaction between classical thought and early modern literary culture. Scodel argues that English authors used the ancient schema of means and extremes in innovative and contentious ways hitherto ignored by scholars. Through close readings of diverse writers and genres, he shows that conflicting representations of means and extremes figured prominently in the emergence of a self-consciously modern English culture. Donne, for example, reshaped the classical mean to promote individual freedom, while Bacon held extremism necessary for human empowerment. Imagining a modern rival to ancient Rome, georgics from Spenser to Cowley exhorted England to embody the mean or lauded extreme paths to national greatness. Drinking poetry from Jonson to Rochester expressed opposing visions of convivial moderation and drunken excess, while erotic writing from Sidney to Dryden and Behn pitted extreme passion against the traditional mean of conjugal moderation. Challenging his predecessors in various genres, Milton celebrated golden means of restrained pleasure and self-respect. Throughout this groundbreaking study, Scodel suggests how early modern treatments of means and extremes resonate in present-day cultural debates. 410 0$aLiterature in history (Princeton, N.J.) 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aModeration in literature 606 $aLiterature and society$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aLiterature and society$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aDidactic literature, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish literature$xClassical influences 606 $aTemperance in literature 606 $aPolarity in literature 606 $aEthics in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aModeration in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and society$xHistory 615 0$aDidactic literature, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xClassical influences. 615 0$aTemperance in literature. 615 0$aPolarity in literature. 615 0$aEthics in literature. 676 $a820.9/353 700 $aScodel$b Joshua$f1958-$0996844 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454793103321 996 $aExcess and the mean in early modern English literature$92471018 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03804nam 2200745 a 450 001 9910825894203321 005 20230620200750.0 010 $a1-282-78638-5 010 $a9786612786389 010 $a90-04-18223-3 024 7 $a10.1163/ej.9789004177314.i-300 035 $a(CKB)2670000000046130 035 $a(EBL)583729 035 $a(OCoLC)669127120 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000429925 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11270605 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000429925 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10452579 035 $a(PQKB)10105622 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC583729 035 $a(OCoLC)463454523 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789004182233 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL583729 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10419847 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL278638 035 $a(PPN)170414248 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000046130 100 $a20091103d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aTracing the boundaries between Hindi and Urdu $elost and added in translation between 20th century short stories /$fChristine Everaert 210 1$aLeiden ;$aBoston :$cBrill,$d2010. 215 $a1 online resource (318 pages) 225 1 $aBrill's Indological library,$x0925-2916 ;$vv. 32 311 0 $a90-04-17731-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tPreliminary Material /$rC.

Through a detailed reading of a representative set of 20th century short stories in both languages, the author leads the reader towards a clear definition of the differences between Hindi and Urdu. The full translations of the stories have been extensively annotated to point out the details in which the Hindi and Urdu versions differ. An overview of early and contemporary Hindi/Urdu and Hindustani grammars and language teaching textbooks demonstrates the problems of correctly naming and identifying the two languages. This book now offers a detailed and systematic database of syntactic, morphological and semantic differences between the selected Hindi and Urdu stories. A useful tool for all scholars of modern Hindi/Urdu fiction, (socio-)linguistics, history or social sciences. 410 0$aBrill's Indological library ;$v32. 606 $aShort stories, Hindi$xHistory and criticism 606 $aShort stories, Urdu$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHindi language 606 $aUrdu language 606 $aComparative literature$xHindi and Urdu 606 $aComparative literature$xUrdu and Hindi 606 $aTranslating and interpreting 615 0$aShort stories, Hindi$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aShort stories, Urdu$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHindi language. 615 0$aUrdu language. 615 0$aComparative literature$xHindi and Urdu. 615 0$aComparative literature$xUrdu and Hindi. 615 0$aTranslating and interpreting. 676 $a491.4/3 700 $aEveraert$b Christine$01721132 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825894203321 996 $aTracing the boundaries between Hindi and Urdu$94120376 997 $aUNINA
