Abstract:

Romantic models dominate our conception of lyric poetry. This essay questions the pertinence of these models to the Renaissance lyric by reading that poetry in the light of Jonathan Culler’s classic account of the romantic lyric in his Pursuit of Signs (1981). Culler famously argues that the definitive trope of lyric is apostrophe, in which first-person speakers address pointedly fictive personifications, such as a sick rose or the west wind, in order to emphasize subjective voicing over objective perception. As Culler helps us see, apostrophes are surprisingly important in Renaissance as well as romantic lyric. But the apostrophes of Renaissance lyric characteristically portray first-person speakers as writing in real time and space to “empirical listeners.” What makes Renaissance lyric distinctive is its persistently social mode of address. Through readings of apostrophic poetry by Waller, Donne, King, Sidney, Spenser, and Shakespeare, the essay calls for criticism of the lyric that pays closer attention to the differences among historically diverse lyric cultures.

Abstract:

Abstract This article considers the difficulties faced by Quintilian in classifying and understanding apostrophe. He treats it as both a figure of thought, with examples from oratory, and a figure of speech, with examples from Virgilin which the narrator addresses characters of the poem. By inserting the otherwise unobtrusive narrator into the narrative, the effect of the Virgilian examples is to collapse the distinction between narration and narrative. Since Quintilian does not have this means of linguistic analysis at his disposal, he defines apostrophe as a figure of speech by bringing it into relation with other figures that also produce an effect of rupture at the level of narration, and he uses other oppositions that offer an imperfect treatment of the problem.

Abstract:

From Aristotle onwards, the Homeric narrator has been praised for the restrained way in which he provides commentary to his audience. But there are occasions when the poet-narrator intrudes overtly as when he makes a direct address to - or apostrophe of - one of the characters in the epic. Scholars have advanced various hypotheses to explain the function and effect of narratorial apostrophe in Homer. This study aims to determine whether one evaluation is valid for all narratorial apostrophes of character in the Iliad. I test the current evaluations of these apostrophes in three case studies. According to the character-based evaluation, the Homeric narrator uses apostrophe to model sympathy and pity for a character to elicit a similar emotional response in the audience. According to the structure-based evaluation, apostrophes mark critical turning points in the story. Most scholarship has focussed on the recipients of multiple apostrophes, Menelaos and Patroklos, but I pay equal attention to a third group of apparently miscellaneous apostrophes. My approach relies on a close reading of each apostrophe in its event-sequence, and I draw on elements of structural narratology and Labov and Waletzky's model of the components of narrative. I also examine the synergy between apostrophes and other forms of narratorial intrusion. Although the contribution of the character-based approach to our understanding of Homeric apostrophe in the Iliad is well-recognized, I propose that it is limited in scope. I demonstrate the new insights that are offered by a structure-based interpretation in which the apostrophes of character are examined against Labov and Waletzky's model. What emerges are the different yet complementary insights afforded by a close reading of the apostrophic event-sequences, and an appreciation of the rewarding synergy that can be observed in the poet-narrator's character-based and structure-based strategies.

Abstract:

Chapter 3 explores the personal relationship visitors thought they had with Memnon. In response to Memnon’s morning cry, visitors used inscriptions to communicate with the articulate yet inanimate statue. Following two main impulses of animation, inscribers either addressed the god as a listener through the rhetorical figure of apostrophe or imagined him as a speaker, calling out to his mother or to them, through prosopopeia. The latter impulse overlaps with the concept of epiphany, where the god makes himself manifest by some sign—usually visual, but in this case aural. This chapter discusses apostrophe, prosopopeia, and epiphany as evidence for visitors’ yearning to commemorate their interactions with Memnon. Inserting themselves into the collective practice of sacred tourism, they nevertheless seek to make the verbal exchange meaningful on a personal level. The inscriptions bear witness to this tension between the communality and the uniqueness of each instance of communication with Memnon.

Abstract:

Charles Baudelaire suggests that the most important tropes for lyric poetry are hyperbole and apostrophe. This chapter aims to reconsider the lyric by foregrounding the importance of catastrophe, not apostrophe. The words share an etymological link through the turn of strophe. From the Greek kata (“down,” but also “against” or “over”) and strephein (“to turn”), catastrophe can translate literally as “downturn.” This chapter return to poems by Willian Wordsworth, this time paying particular attention to metaphors of “downturns” in Wordsworth's poetry, moments when heads, for instance, are turned down toward the ground. Wordsworth is a poet of catastrophes and cataclysms; his poems chronicle the many disasters and calamities that befall the dispossessed. To the extent to which Look Round for Poetry proceeds by juxtaposing poetic tropes and contemporary discourse, this chapter focuses attention on Wordsworth's “downturns” in order to discover in the rhetoric of poetry a chance to think further about the rhetoric of contemporary capitalism and the effects of economic catastrophe.

Full text

Abstract:

Building on van Mal-Maeder’s work on fictionality in Roman declamation, this chapter examines the poetics of declamation in Seneca the Elder’s compilations. When read from a literary standpoint, declamatory texts consist of two key components: the fabula (‘content’) and the discours (‘means of conveying said content’). The chapter concerns itself primarily with the latter, and specifically with the rhetorical concept of apostrophe (α‎̓ποστροφη‎́́), during which speakers address the subject about whom they are declaiming in direct speech. The analysis outlines the communicative strategies involved in this rhetorical technique, along with its implications on both the intradiegetic and extradiegetic narrative planes, and determines the extent to which apostrophe and its variants can be regarded as signs for the fictionality of a given declamation.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter is a critical discussion of the metaleptic phenomenon of apostrophizing fictional and/or long-dead characters. It asks what model of engagement with fiction emerges if one takes the gesture of speaking to a fictional character literally, not merely as a rhetorical trope but a meaningful speech act. In this mode of reading, modelled by an apostrophizing author as first reader of their own text, apostrophe suggests that characters are, somehow, still available to be interacted with. Apostrophe therefore serves as an invitation for readers to invest in characters and form relationships with them, for instance loving them or mourning for them. By discussing four rather different examples—Homeric epic, Sapphic lyric, a bucolic poem by Theocritus, and a progymnasma by Musonius Rufus—the chapter argues that apostrophe not only repays reading as a model of how readers engage with fiction, but that each text offers its own version of this engagement.

Abstract:

Abstract This chapter explores prosopopoeia and apostrophe as the most significant rhetorical figures of voice in early modern English poetry. In written poetry, voice is a metaphor, yet it remains a crucial source of critical terms. While ostensibly describing the same phenomenon, the terms ‘speaker’ and ‘voice’ highlight distinct critical affordances. With its connection to the body, ‘voice’ highlights personal expression, presence, and authenticity, while ‘speaker’, which came to prominence with the New Criticism and as a tool of mid-twentieth century literary pedagogy, privileges the rhetorical and fictive aspects of poetry even as it concentrates discursive authority in a single source. Using examples of lyric poems by authors such as Milton, Pulter, Donne, Herbert, and Cavendish, this chapter shows how authors use apostrophe and prosopopoeia to reconcile the desire for an autonomous and singular speaker with the multiple voices that inhabit all poetry.

Abstract:

The chapter begins with a systematic overview of selected figures of speech and related techniques that imbue the Shakespearean inside with some of its dialogical qualities: apostrophe (addressing absent or abstract entities), letters and reported words, prosopopoeia (personating an external speaker), erotema (the rhetorical question), illeism (speaking of oneself in the third person), and tuism (addressing oneself in the second person). Chapter 3 ends with a reading of Hamlet, demonstrating how the new research methodology can both produce fresh insights into one of the most closely studied works in world literature and place some aspects of received opinion about the play on a firmer footing.

Abstract:

This chapter organizes an unlikely comparison between the Black feminist activist poet Frances Ellen Watkins Harper and the White Harvard Professor and best-selling poet of the nineteenth century, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, under the sign of the popular nineteenth-century figure of the Poetess. Unlike apostrophe or personification or prosody, the chapter emphasizes that the Poetess is not a figure many lyric theorists still associate with the structure of poetics. It stresses that the Poetess was a figure intimately associated with the work of women poets in the nineteenth century, but it was also, like apostrophe and personification and prosody, a figure that was detachable from the work of any particular poet. Nineteenth-century White male poets like Poe and Whitman employed Poetess poetics, and that was possible because the Poetess was not consubstantial with the author's gender or sexuality. Yet, as the chapter argues, using the figure of the Poetess was not like using poetic genres such as the elegy or the epistle; since the Poetess was more like a trope than a genre, it could be as definite and slippery as a turn of phrase, turning through many prosodic and rhetorical genres at once. The chapter aims to understand these nineteenth-century Black poetics in order to propose a new literary history, a new historical poetics, a new account of the invention of American lyric.

Abstract:

This chapter surveys the dominant themes of canto 5 of Inferno: the analysis of desire, reciprocity in love, the adumbration of subjectivity, and the mediation of the book. Before Dante's account in canto 5, there was no known record of the love story of Francesca da Rimini. His portrait of her emerges in astonishingly few verses and, in its passion and pathos, emulates and rivals Virgil's portrayal of Dido. In her monologue, Francesca sums up in retrospect the genesis, consummation, and fatal consequences of the love she shared with her inseparable companion in Hell, whom she does not name. Her celebrated apostrophe to love, the unforgettable anaphora on “Amore,” is at once succinct and profound, a rhetorical representation in miniature of consciousness and interiority without precedent in the Middle Ages.
