From the Dust Jacket: "Focusing on the paradoxically embattled yet vital 'pictorialism' of English Reformation poetry, Ernest B. Gilman explores the impact of iconoclasm on major works from Spenser's FAERIE QUEEN to Milton's PARADISE LOST. From the early reforms of the 1530s through the revolution of the 1640s, sacred art all over England fell to successive waves of iconoclastic zeal, while the enemies of idolatry filled thousands of pages with warnings against the abuse of 'images' in devotion.".

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Part literary history and part medical sociology, Gilmans book chronicles the careers of three major immigrant Yiddish poets of the twentieth century - Solomon Bloomgarten (Yehoash), Sholem Shtern, and H. Leivick - all of whom lived through, and wrote movingly of, their experience as patients in a tuberculosis sanatorium. Gilman addresses both the formative influence of the sanatorium on the writers work and the culture of an institution in which, before the days of antibiotics, writing was encouraged as a form of therapy. He argues that each writer produced a significant body of work during his recovery, itself an experience that profoundly influenced the course of his subsequent literary career. Seeking to recover the imaginary of the sanatorium as a scene of writing by doctors and patients, Gilman explores the historical connectionbetween tuberculosis treatment and the written word. Through a close analysis of Yiddish poems, and translations of these writers, Gilman sheds light on how essential writing and literature were to the sanatorium experience. All three poets wrote under the shadow of death. Their works are distinctive, but their most urgent concerns are shared: strangers in a strange land, suffering, displacement, acculturation, and, inevitably, what it means to be a Jew.
