Les trois recueils sur lesquels porte cet article, The Triumph of Love, Speech! Speech! , et The Orchards of Syon , sont souvent considérés comme une trilogie, même si l’analogie avec l’Enfer, le Purgatoire, et le Paradis de Dante n’est pas tout-à-fait exacte. Ces trois stades co-existent dans ces œuvres complexes qui marquent un tournant stylistique radical dans la poésie de Hill. En particulier, le « quatrième mur » est brisé, suite à la libération de la persona , ou des personæ du poète, qui se retournent vers le lecteur et vers lui-même. Mais en dépit d’étonnants modes d’adresse au lecteur, l’unité des recueils tient à la récurrence de thèmes venus de la première poésie de Hill : il convoque un aréopage de témoins-martyrs, d’incarnations historiques de la résistance comme de la tyrannie, qui confèrent à sa poésie une tonalité grave. The three collections under discussion here, The Triumph of Love, Speech! Speech! , and The Orchards of Syon are often considered to be a trilogy, though the Dantescan analogy of Hell, Purgatory and Paradise is not strictly accurate. All three conditions co-exist in these complex works that mark a radical stylistic advance in Hill’s work. Notably, the “fourth wall” is broken, as the larger than life persona, or personae, of the poet is set loose, turning upon his reader as upon himself. But in spite of the startling modes of address, the collections are held together by themes recognisable from earlier Hill, and he musters a cloud of martyr-witnesses, historical exemplars of resistance to tyranny, that confers gravitas upon this poetry.

In 1842, the pioneering French photographer Joseph-Philibert Girault de Prangey (1804-1892) set out eastward across the Mediterranean with a custom-built camera to explore ancient lands that were largely unknown to the Western world. This book is the first to fully consider the hundreds of daguerreotypes that resulted from his three-year journey, many of which were made using innovative techniques that fascinate photographers to this day. The images, including the first-known photographic documentation of significant locations, offer tangible evidence of historic sites, many of which have since been destroyed, in places such as Greece, Italy, Egypt, Turkey, Syria, and Jerusalem. They are remarkable and unparalleled portraits of a world gone by. Copiously illustrated and featuring a geographic glossary of the sites and images, Monumental Journey sheds new light on the arc of Girault's career, the vibrant orientalist milieu of 19th-century France that shaped his work, and his inventive contributions to the nascent field of photography. It introduces modern audiences to a brilliant yet enigmatic talent, as well as the stunning images, many published here for the time, that make a major contribution to the histories of both photography and eastern Mediterranean.--Exhibition: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (30.10-12.05.2019); Musâee d'Orsay, Paris, France (17.06-13.10.2019).
