Paperback. Zustand: New. Hexameral Poetics tells the story of a forgotten genre: poetry about the creation of the world. The hexameral poems, as they are known, expand at length on the six days of Creation described in the first chapter of the Bible. Yet where we might expect such works to be conservative in nature, defending a traditional cosmos and ceding creative power to God, Pertile argues that they undertake an unprecedented investigation into the nature of our relationship to the universe. Foregrounding their own creative processes, they seek at the same time to reconcile their inescapable artifice with the world as already created. What follows from this attempt is a new model of creativity itself, incompatible with the traditional idea of creation ex nihilo. Rather than emphasizing their absolute sovereignty, poets from Du Bartas to Milton thus seek out a poetics that would bridge the difference between human and divine creators without simply collapsing one into the other-a poetics free of domination and in alignment rather than in contest with the generative powers of the cosmos. In so doing they are not merely powerfully modern but may also lead us to revise our notions of modernity itself. Drawing on French, Italian, Spanish, and English poetry, Hexameral Poetics brings a transnational approach to urgent questions concerning the intersection of poetry, religion, and human impact on the planet at the origins of modernity.…
