The Happy Catastrophe / Finlay, Ian Hamilton., 1992

 Item
Identifier: CC-11090-11305
Scope and Contents This poem "Be- falls," is based upon Friedrich Schlegel's characterization of the French Revolution. Schlegel (1772--1829) was an important German literary critic and philosopher who lived in Paris for a brief period of time.Internet 2011: In the early 1800s the flame of Schlegel's early radicalism dimmed and his thought moved steadily in a conservative direction. He became disillusioned with the French Revolution, which seemed to end in anarchy, commercialism and military dictatorship. Increasingly, he saw the defence of the Catholic Church and the old social hierarchy as the only safeguards against these disturbing trends, and as the only pillars of spiritual and communal values. His growing conservatism culminated in his conversion to the Roman Catholic Church in 1808 and in his diplomatic and literary activity on behalf of Metternich between 1809 and 1818.

Scope and Contents X. J. Kennedy (b. 1929). Born Joseph Charles Kennedy in Dover, New Jersey, Kennedy published his own science fiction magazine, Terrifying Test-Tube Tales, at age 12. He honed his writing skills at Seton Hall University and earned an M. A. degree from Columbia in 1951. From 1951 to 1955, he served in the U. S. Navy, at one time publishing a daily news-sheet for the entertainment-starved crew of a destroyer at sea. Kennedy notes: "Nothing I have ever written since has been received so avidly." After further study, at the Sorbonne in Paris and the University of Michigan, Kennedy taught English at the University of North Carolina and moved to Tufts University in Massachusetts in 1963. His first poetry collection, Nude Descending a Staircase (1961), won the Lamont Award for that year. A freelance writer since 1979, Kennedy prefers writing within the constraints of rhyme and metrical patterns. He is the author of many collections of poetry for young people including Talking Like the...
