otheruses Furioso disambiguation Image BombastesFurioso Cruikshank.jpg thumb Frontispiece by George Cruikshank , for 1837 edition of Bombastes Furioso Bombastes Furioso , subtitled A Burlesque Tragic Opera , was written in 1810 by William Barnes Rhodes sometimes credited as Thomas Barnes Rhodes . The first authorized printed edition was published in 1822. It is a drama with comic songs, that satirizes the bombastic style of other tragedies that were in fashion at the time. It was very popular throughout the 19th century &mdash its popularity was sufficient for two quotations to appear in Bartlett s Familiar Quotations , and for Lewis Carroll to refer to it in his poem Melancholetta . Characters Artaxaminous King of Utopia Fusbos Minister of State Bombastes general of Artaxaminous Distaffina troth plight of General Bombastes Plot King Artaxaminous wishes to divorce his wife Griskinissa, and marry Distaffina. Distaffina, however, is betrothed to General Bombastes. Artaxaminous promises Distaffina half a crown if she will forsake the general for him. Distaffina is unable to resist, and abandons Bombastes. When the general learns of this, he goes mad, hangs his boots on the branch of a tree, and challenges anyone who would remove them. Artaxaminous cuts the boots down, and the general kills him. Fusbos, coming upon this, kills Bombastes. At the end of the drama, the dead men jump up and promise to die again to morrow , if the audience desires it. Notes The story of Bombastes Furioso is based in part on Orlando Furioso . The sign that Bombastes places on the tree with his boots reads Who dares this pair of boots displace, Must meet Bombastes face to face. According to Bartlett, this is a reference to a quote from Don Quixote Let none but he these arms displace, Who dares Orlando s fury face. which itself is a reference to Orlando Furioso.

Orphan date November 2006 Melitzah is a Middle Ages medieval Hebrew language Hebrew literary device in which a mosaic of fragments and phrases from the Hebrew Bible as well as from rabbinic literature or the liturgy is fitted together to form a new statement of what the author intends to express at the moment. In Hebrew the word melitzah means joke or witticism. Melitzah , in effect, recalls Walter Benjamin s desire to someday write a work composed entirely of quotations. At any rate, it was a literary device employed widely in medieval Hebrew poetry and prose, then through the movement known as Haskalah , Hebrew for enlightenment, and even among nineteenth century writers both modern and traditional. What is so special about this particular literary device is that in melitzah the sentences compounded out of quotations mean what they say but below and beyond the surface they reverberate with associations to the original texts, and this is what makes them psychologically so interesting and valuable. In the transposition of a quotation from the original in this case canonical text to a new one, the meaning of the original context may be retained, altered, or subverted. In any case the original context trails along as an invisible interlinear presence, and the readers, like the writer, must be aware of these associations if they are to savor the new text to the full. A partial analogy may be found in T. S. Eliot s use of quotations in The Waste Land . If he is successful in his use of melitzah , the author will arouse in the reader a particular set of images and associations which will add a certain texture and tone to what is being described the chordal accompaniment, so to speak, to the melodic line.

File SpainAuden.jpg thumb right 1st edition Spain is a poem by W. H. Auden written after his visit to the Spanish Civil War and widely regarded as one of the most important literary works to emerge from that war. It was written and published in 1937. Auden published two versions of the poem, first as a pamphlet Spain 1937 , then, in revised form and titled Spain 1937 , in his book Another Time 1940 . He later rejected the poem from his collected editions, regarding it as a dishonest poem that expressed political views that he never believed but which he thought would be rhetorically effective. The poem describes the history that led up to the Spanish Civil War, then the arrival of the International Brigades at the war itself, then foresees a possible future that may result from the war. The poem was widely discussed, notably by George Orwell in Inside the Whale 1940 and in E.P. Thompson E. P. Thompson s reply to Orwell, Outside the Whale Out of Apathy , 1960 . Quotations q W. H.
