Produktbeschreibung
This Philosophical Lexicon is an analytical glossary of terms whose understanding is indispensable for the serious study of literature and of literary traditions. As such, it leaves aside consideration of terms associated only with discrete historical periods or with merely conventional literary practices. Instead, it focuses on key terms that pertain to those fundamental features that are shared by all literary traditions, no matter when or where they may be found. Further, rather than seeking to conform its explanation of these universally relevant terms to a predetermined schema, this Lexicon roots its definitions in the practical experience attentive readers have of literary works themselves. Thereby, it aims to show readers how to attain the deepest possible penetration of any individual work of art, helping them better apprehend its uniqueness as well as to appreciatre its value as a delightful object of beauty.
Autorenporträt
Johann M. Moser was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1940. He grew up in New York City and later in New Jersey. At Dartmouth College he majored in philosophy and studied with the poet Richard Eberhart. In 1970, he received a Ph.D. in comparative literature from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where he specialized in poetics and medieval literature. From 1970 until his retirement in 2000, he taught literature and philosophy at St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire.Moser published a volume of verse titled Most Ancient of All Splendors with Sophia Institute Press in 1989, as well as edited and translated for the press both an anthology of classical Nativity verse and, in collaboration with a colleague, Robert Anderson, an edition of St. Thomas Aquinas's hymns and prayers.Although familiar with many areas of the United States and having lived several years abroad, Moser spent his early summers in the Lakes Region of central New Hampshire, where he has now resided for over half a century. In these decades, he has formed an intimate bond with northern New England, whose mountains and lakes and lively populace have been a source of inspiration for him, even as he has devoted himself to a sustained pursuit and emulation of world literature.
