| Zusammenfassung: | In this clear, succinct, and engaging book, noted critic James Olney explores the work of three seemingly disparate precursors of modernism - Whitman, Dickinson, and Hopkins - and establishes a set of criteria by which any reader might judge and better appreciate a poem. Considering the language of the poets' times, their unique ways with language, and what he calls the "nearly ahistorical language" of poetry, Olney arrives at three properties that form a kind of common ground in poetry, regardless of the cultural context or the era in which the poem was written. These properties are a heightened rhythmization of language, an elevated figurativity of language, and a highly personal, distinctive eccentricity that shapes both the poetic vision and the technical means used to express it. In three chapters, each focusing on one of these properties, Olney shows how the poets shaped these elements in their own distinctive ways "Dickinsonian" verse, he notes, displays a metrical regularity reminiscent of hymns. It is also a thoroughly metaphorical poetry that works through figures of similarity and resemblance, and it reveals an unmistakable economy as well as a "darting, quicksilver" elusiveness. Whitman's highly rhythmic, but entirely nonmetrical, poetry is dominated by figures of correlation and connection. His verse, pervaded by an insatiate desire to annex the human world and universe to himself, has a sense of being neverending. Hopkins's poems are markedly rhythmic and even metrical, but not according to any traditional or inherited system of metrics. Figuratively mixed, they are highly wrought poems that observe the strictest formalities in order to subjugate unruly and explosive emotions. Throughout his discussions, Olney quotes extensively from the poetry of all three figures and also conveys much about the effect of their personal lives on their work In plain terms that neither obfuscate nor overshadow his subjects, Olney helps us to understand better the ways in which poets defamiliarize our world and make us see it anew |

[u.a.] Univ. of Georgia Press 1993 XIV, 158 S. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Georgia Southern University Jack N. and Addie D. Averitt lecture series 2 In this clear, succinct, and engaging book, noted critic James Olney explores the work of three seemingly disparate precursors of modernism - Whitman, Dickinson, and Hopkins - and establishes a set of criteria by which any reader might judge and better appreciate a poem. Considering the language of the poets' times, their unique ways with language, and what he calls the "nearly ahistorical language" of poetry, Olney arrives at three properties that form a kind of common ground in poetry, regardless of the cultural context or the era in which the poem was written. These properties are a heightened rhythmization of language, an elevated figurativity of language, and a highly personal, distinctive eccentricity that shapes both the poetic vision and the technical means used to express it. In three chapters, each focusing on one of these properties, Olney shows how the poets shaped these elements in their own distinctive ways "Dickinsonian" verse, he notes, displays a metrical regularity reminiscent of hymns. It is also a thoroughly metaphorical poetry that works through figures of similarity and resemblance, and it reveals an unmistakable economy as well as a "darting, quicksilver" elusiveness. Whitman's highly rhythmic, but entirely nonmetrical, poetry is dominated by figures of correlation and connection. His verse, pervaded by an insatiate desire to annex the human world and universe to himself, has a sense of being neverending. Hopkins's poems are markedly rhythmic and even metrical, but not according to any traditional or inherited system of metrics. Figuratively mixed, they are highly wrought poems that observe the strictest formalities in order to subjugate unruly and explosive emotions. Throughout his discussions, Olney quotes extensively from the poetry of all three figures and also conveys much about the effect of their personal lives on their work In plain terms that neither obfuscate nor overshadow his subjects, Olney helps us to understand better the ways in which poets defamiliarize our world and make us see it anew Dickinson, Emily <1830-1886> Dickinson, Emily <1830-1886> - Critique et interprétation Dickinson, Emily <1830-1886> - Critique et interprétation ram Hopkins, Gerard Manley <1844-1889> Hopkins, Gerard Manley <1844-1889> - Critique et interprétation Hopkins, Gerard Manley <1844-1889> - Critique et interprétation ram Whitman, Walt <1819-1892> Whitman, Walt <1819-1892> - Critique et interprétation Whitman, Walt <1819-1892> - Critique et interprétation ram Dickinson, Emily <1830-1886> Criticism and interpretation Hopkins, Gerard Manley <1844-1889> Criticism and interpretation Whitman, Walt <1819-1892> Criticism and interpretation Whitman, Walt 1819-1892 (DE-588)118807153 gnd rswk-swf Hopkins, Gerard Manley 1844-1889 (DE-588)118553526 gnd rswk-swf Dickinson, Emily 1830-1886 (DE-588)118525255 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1800-1900 Dichtkunst gtt Poésie américaine - 19e siècle - Histoire et critique Poésie américaine - 19e siècle - Histoire et critique ram American poetry 19th century History and criticism Lyrik (DE-588)4036774-5 gnd rswk-swf Sprache (DE-588)4056449-6 gnd rswk-swf Hopkins, Gerard Manley 1844-1889 (DE-588)118553526 p Lyrik (DE-588)4036774-5 s DE-604 Dickinson, Emily 1830-1886 (DE-588)118525255 p Whitman, Walt 1819-1892 (DE-588)118807153 p Sprache (DE-588)4056449-6 s DE-188 Georgia Southern University Jack N. and Addie D.
