Además de los homenajes líricos que le dedica al fraile agustino en Noche más allá de la ...noche, Tiempo y abismo y Canciones para una música silente, el escritor leonés, excelente ensayista, interpreta a fray Luis a la luz (mística, lato sensu) de la música razonada, sabia cifra de arte poética, razón inspirada y armonía entre palabra y mundo.
In both his texts and his writing practice, Gérard de Nerval (1808-55) manifests a propensity toward subjective fragmentation and instability. This fragmentation is not simply a symptom of a ...psychological disorder, but is itself a positive value in the context of Nerval's un-self-centered poetics. Through his presentation of the actor Brisacier in "À Alexandre Dumas" (1854), Nerval suggests that the writing subject's relation to what it writes is one of serial identification not intended to arrive at any unified identity. This mobility of identifications is evident, for example, in the unwieldy intertextuality of the sonnet "El Desdichado" (1854), which resists synthesis and makes hybrids of both poem and lyric subject. The circulation of images and subjects in the poem makes it not a work of self-expression or self-creation, but rather a site of encounter for a proliferation of subjects.
Hellas, a Lyrical Drama (1822), Percy Bysshe Shelley's response to the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence, remains one of the most neglected of his major works. Even less attention has been ...paid to Shelley's series of attempts to write about the Greek cause, which he then abandoned before he began work on Hellas in the autumn of 1821. This essay seeks to redress that neglect. It examines a range of Greek-related fragments composed by Shelley in 1821 and offers not only a fresh contextualization and assessment of the so-called "Prologue" to Hellas, first published by Richard Garnett in 1862, but also a revised understanding of the compositional background to Hellas itself.
"For Poets," she had "Keats-and Mr and Mrs Browning," as she informed Higginson, and Paula Bennett is far from alone in identifying EBB as Dickinson's "m ost beloved" and "chosen precursor" among ...women writers.2 Studies of this transatlantic poetic relationship typically focus on Dickinson's deep engagement with Aurora Leigh and/or and the American poet's three elegies for "that Foreign Lady": especially "I think I was enchanted," representing the "Conversion of the Mind" that Dickinson experienced in encountering what she termed the "Titanic opera" of EBB's poetry.3 Like teeming grapevines, however, the tendrils of affiliation intertwining Dickinson's poetry with EBB's grow in multiple directions. In the same letter, she informed Boyd of progress on her 1844 collection: "I have passed the middle of my second volume-and I only hope that the critics may say of the rest that it smells of Greek wine" (p. 22). ...she hinted at her return gift, dedicated to the blind scholar who had studied Greek with her when she was shut out from the male preserve of a university classical education.
This article reconsiders the complicated production and reception of Edna St. Vincent Millay’s early poetry, especially that of A Few Figs from Thistles. Millay’s language of gender and sexual ...liberation in this 1920s volume received the label of “light verse,” valences of which continue to affect readings across Millay’s oeuvre. Looking to resituate the critical severity of A Few Figs from Thistles, this piece uses archival research and material culture to rethink the volume’s original appearance and Millay’s later release of two “revised” editions. Rather than recant rhetorically on the text’s idiom of the New Woman, these redactions function as strategies for its critical redistribution. Unable to remain the equivalent of a radical figure above reality of consequence, the Millay of A Few Figs from Thistles reflects a poetic consciousness that understands the intricate nature of social resistance.
Ben Jonson's influence on the ‘Cavalier poets’ is well known — several self-styled ‘sons of Ben’, such asRobert Herrick, were also leading figures in royalist literary circles of the 1640s. But the ...way in which Jonsonian languages of classical liberty assumed a new resonance forroyalist coteries in London, living under what they regarded as the tyranny of a Puritan Parliament in the 1640s, has not been explored, partly because those languages have generally been associated only with anti-monarchical writing. This essay explores howclassical notions of liberty and citizenshipwere conjoined in Cavalier poetics with a taste for sensual over-indulgence that had been kept restrained by Jonson'sHoratianmode.Andrew Marvellemerges as the most acute and ironic commentator on the Cavalier inflexion of the Jonsonian poetry of moderation, and it is Marvell who looks tothe Commonwealthto foster a new republic of letters in post-Caroline England.
While the verse novel is now established as a literary genre, the verse biography has not been similarly acknowledged, even though many of the formal tensions and strategies are similar. Recognizing ...that the work of "life writing" that such texts perform, and the relationship between historical fact and poetic representation that they negotiate, are distinct to the verse biography, this Special Issue opens up the genre as a field of study, within the context of biography and life writing studies more generally.
이 글은 최재서가 기획·편집한 『해외서정시집』(1938)을 통해 근대 조선에서 세계문학의 정전이 구축되는 과정과 그 과정에서 발현된 교양주의의 양상을 짚어보았다. 『해외서정시집』은 당대 조선의 독자들에게 애송되었던 외국 시들을 국가별·작가별로 집성한 시선집이다. 그 속에는 오늘날까지 서양문학사의 정전(正典)으로 추앙받고 있는 작품들이 즐비하다. 비록 ...‘시’의 영역에 국한되어 있기는 하지만, 이 시집에 실린 번역시의 면면을 통해 근대 조선에서 세계문학의 정전이 형성되어 가는 흐름을 파악할 수 있다. 한편 『해외서정시집』을 기획·편집한 최재서와, 시집에 실릴 시 번역에 참여한 문학인들은 모두 ‘다이쇼 교양주의’가 잔존해 있던 대학에서 문학적 소양을 기른 엘리트 문학인들이다. 카프(KAPF) 해산 이후 조선 문단의 새로운 향방을 모색하던 이들은 세계문학, 그중에서도 낭만주의 시가 지닌 가능성에 주목했다. 그들은 『해외서정시집』에 실린 낭만주의 시가 독자 대중이 시적 교양을 쌓아 나가는 데에 큰 역할을 할 것으로 기대하였다. 그러나 안타깝게도 전시체제하의 문학장에서 그들의 기대가 실현되었을 가능성은 희박하다.
