“Past ruin’d Ilion”: The Classical Ideal and the Romantic Voice in Landor’s Poetry

Author(s):  
Steven Stryer

This article argues that throughout his long career, Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864) looked back to the classical past as both the source and the fullest embodiment of his literary ideal. It contends that besides the stylistic classicism often attributed to him, Landor brought the values of the classical and the Romantic into tension, engagement, and alignment with each other. In order to examine the interplay between these complementary visions of life, the article traces how Landor makes use of references and allusions to the classical past within his shorter lyric poems. As a case in point, it examines the group of poems written to and about his beloved Ianthe, analyzing the means—ranging from extended conceits to brief allusions and offhand or submerged references—by which Landor brought together the Romantic expression of personal experience with the universality, authority, and permanence that he associated with Greek and Latin literature.

Introduction: Too many patients with moderate to severe psoriasis do not receive adequate treatment. This means a vast undersupply in the treatment of patients with psoriasis. Only biologics fulfill the whole range of the treatment of psoriasis – psoriasis does not affect only skin but the whole organism: It is a systemic disease! Between the biologics are evident differences concerning the effect. Discussion: Based on broad personal experience in the management of patients with moderate to severe psoriasis new data from clinical studies with ixekizumab are examined. This contains new data on long-term-efficacy of ixekizumab, effectiveness in special localizations (scalp psoriasis, nail psoriasis, palmoplantar psoriasis, genital psoriasis) as well as safely data and experience on patients switched to ixekizumab from other biologics. Personal clinical experience is based on >300 non-selected outpatients with moderate to severe psoriasis, >250 patients on biological therapies, > 50 patients with ixekizumab. Conclusions: Focusing on a relevant number of patients switched from secukinumab to ixekizumab due to first or secondary loss of efficacy significant differences between both IL-17A-inhibitors mainly in terms of efficacy and speed of therapeutic response are shown. Finally the correlation between PASI-90-/PASI-100 response and significant changes in DLQI are highlighted.

Research conducted to develop drama text teaching materials based on the experience of the author of the drama script aims to make it easier for students to understand drama text material. In addition, based on the author's experience students are expected to emulate the author's creative process in writing a paper.
