Abstract:

The nonsense rhymes that were almost ubiquitous in First World War trench newspapers (periodicals produced by servicemen while on active service) present vivid, humorous, and arresting representations of violence. This article draws attention to servicemen’s widespread use of limericks and parodic nursery rhymes to depict soldiers being, variously, shot, shelled, and bayoneted, and establishes the hitherto unrecognised representational significance of these poems. Those portrayals of the First World War most frequently celebrated for their truthfulness and emotiveness tend to be both solemn an

Abstract:

Nonsense and humour are two cognitive and linguistic phenomena that frequently overlap. The focus of this article falls on chosen instances of humorous nonsense poetry, targeted at English-speaking children, which contains verbal and visual modes of expression. Formal sources of nonsense-creation in natural language can be several, among others semantic anomaly, syntactic ill-formedness and structural ambiguity, phonetic and graphological experimentation. The interplay of nonsense with the visuality of the text in children's poetry assumes three distinct forms: 1) visual poems, 2) multimodal t

Abstract:

A lot of research has been done on the effects of music and sounds on performance in many areas of study. However, there have been mixed results about what kind of effects music can have. Musical pleasure was able to influence task performance, and the shape of this effect depended on group and individual factor (Gold B., et al. 2013). According to Fassbender (2012), music does have an effect on memory, music during a study or learning phase hindered memory but increased mood and sports performance. The objective of this experiment is to find if music can help memorize different tests like non

Abstract:

Edward Lear left a rich and precious poetic legacy from the Victorian Age even though accompanied by illness, loneliness, and melancholy throughout his life. Before nearly one hundred years, scholars have pointed out how Lears subject differed from other nonsense verse writers, as well as the autobiographical elements of his poems. But this self-writing in the form of nonsense is never straightforward. It is often confusing whether Lears poems are meant to take people to the land of nonsense to wander or explore, hoping that people will feel the same pleasure and spiritual support in nonsense

Nonsense Literature has always been an obscure viewpoint of literature studies. Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (referred to as Through the Looking-Glass hence) witnessed Lewis Carroll bring this peculiar genre into the spotlight. He designed a series of fictional characters and devised several poems on which he endowed the united characteristic of talking nonsense. This essay aims at analyzing the nonsensical discourse in Through the Looking-Glass, which includes nonsensical utterances, nonsensical poems, and illogical narrations.

Abstract:

The present paper represents stylistic analysis and comparison of Edward Lear’s “The Owl and the Pussycat” and Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky”. These poems, which are representative of Victorian literary nonsense, engage readers in a fanciful literary experience by subverting normal narrative expectations through the use of unique vocabulary, whimsical topics, and fun sound patterns. Lear’s “The Owl and the Pussycat” is distinguished by its fanciful storyline and endearing application of anapestic meter, which gives the poem a rhythmic, melodic feel. Lear creates a surreal universe where rationa

With these limericks, Seferis turned to the Anglo-Saxon poetic tradition of nonsense to oppose the ‘seriousness’ of adult life, while also coping with painful family memories and the dark atmosphere of World War II.

Abstract:

There has been an eternal dilemma to look for a suitable definitive analysis of the term humour in the history of cultural studies primarily because of the fact that it is so very common in the everyday usage and interactions that we assume some sort of a generalized notion regarding the various meanings and nuances of the term. Now the relationship of humour with that of a postcolonial worldview makes it all the more intrinsically problematic. This argument is often lost in the whirlpool of literary jargons leading to an enigmatic representation of the true mechanism of humour. In this paper

Since the very beginning of its proliferation, the Homeric epic has been subject to various ways of interpretation and modes of understanding.

Therefore, my article focuses on the third, “comical” group of these Homeric grey areas, and deals with the following questions: how and why did Homer’s comical passages move from a discourse of the ridic

Synopsis Philosophical truths are hidden in Lewis Carroll’s nonsense poems, such as “The hunting of the snark.” When the poem is used as a scientific allegory, a snark stands for the pursuit of scientific truth, while a boojum is a spurious discovery. In the study of female biology, boojums have been the result of the use of cultural stereotypes to frame hypotheses and methodologies. Although female reproduction is key for the continuation of sexually reproducing species, not only have females been understudied in many regards, but also data have commonly been interpreted in the context of now

Abstract Japanese modernist writer Taro Hirai (1894–1965) admired Poe so much that he crafted a pseudonym, Edogawa Rampo, based on Poe’s name. I contend that Rampo’s reimaginings of “The Masque of the Red Death” in “The Red Chamber” and of “The Man That Was Used Up” in “The Caterpillar” correspond closely with the aesthetic principles of 1920s and ’30s Japan. One might say that by the age of modernism in Japan, Poe’s grotesque and arabesque had (d)evolved into erotic grotesque nonsense. What Rampo’s deliberate misreadings and his inventive rewritings teach us is that Poe is endlessly contempor

Abstract:

It has been suggested that in nonsense literature the form sometimes directs the events of the story (Tigges 1988, Lecercle 1994). Translation of a poem may make this even more evident, as with "Mr Pii Poo" (1956, originally “Herra Pii Poo”), a poem by the Finnish author Kirsi Kunnas, born in 1924. "Mr Pii Poo" tells a story about a magician in a conflict between rural and urban elements, a figure who is introduced also as a witch and who could at the same time be interpreted as an alter ego for the poet Kunnas. In this poem, Kirsi Kunnas binds a bizarre bundle of rhymed and free verses around

ABSTRACT This study aims to analyze the figure of speech in the poem “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth. The study's design is descriptive qualitative with no changes in the variables. It described the result of the semiotic analysis of the poetry “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud”. The research technique has been done by using the super reader theory of analysis by Michael Riffaterre which focuses on three concepts: displacing, distorting, and creating. The result of the analysis shows that William Wordsworth’s poem represents super reader theory. Displacing the meaning of semio

Abstract:

This research aims to find out the explicit meaning of the poem Out of The Blue which is analyzed using Riffaterre's Semiotic theory, which according to Riffaterre, poetry is a sign system that needs to be interpreted further. According to Riffaterre, the meaning of poetry is divided into four stages. First, indirectness of expression in the form of changing meaning in the form of metaphor, simile, personification, metonymy, deviation of meaning in the form of ambiguity, contradiction and nonsense, to the creation of meaning in the form of rhyme, symmetry and homology.

Tracing the origin of psychoanalytical interpretation of the literary texts M.A.R.

The application of psychoanalytic principles to the study of literature, however, is a relatively recent phenomenon, initiated primarily by Freud and in other directions by Alfred Alder and Carl Jung. The notion of the “unconscious” was not in itself new, and it can be found in man

Abstract:

Laura E. Richards’s (1850-1943), the first lady of American nonsense poetry, was among the few nineteenth-century professional women writers who composed literary autobiographies, and the only one who wrote two, one for adult readers and one for children. The present essay argues for reading Laura E. Richards’s nursery and Nonsense rhymes as her third autobiography. Unlike her formal autobiographies, which primarily served to maintain a mythic legacy of her renowned parents, Julia Ward and Samuel Gridley Howe, Richards’s nonsense poetry subtly subverts the constraints of this narrative.

Abstract:

Food and eating are recurring themes throughout Laura Richards’s children’s poems. This essay examines how several of Richards’s poems bring together food and education, specifically in conjunction with excess, grotesquerie, and otherness. Reading foods as gesturing beyond themselves and as signifying on social relations, I argue that excessive food consumption and the ingestion of “wrong” foods are tied to a warning of greed and over-indulgence and to discouraging ambitions to transgress social boundaries in terms of race and class. By discussing choice poems, I show how the excesses of food,

Abstract:

Space as the locus of a game (“field”) has been a common metaphor in analysing Victorian nonsense literature: Elizabeth Sewell’s 1952 monograph incorporated it already in its title, The Field of Nonsense, while Susan Stewart’s study, Nonsense (1978), identifies discursive operations of nonsense-making “within a closed field.” However, little has been said about space as a motif (or topos) in the primary texts of nonsense. Although Gillian Beer in her 2016 book Alice in Space treats certain spatial aspects of Lewis Carroll’s Alice books, the spaces of Edward Lear’s limericks are yet to be explo

This article examines a number of puns and conceits that are the trademarks of T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats (1939). The aim is to demonstrate how these “minor” poems, which have drawn little attention from critics, in fact question the very notions of “minor” and “major” with humour and irony. The poems notably challenge the moral and genre-related grounds on which a children’s story should be based, but also on which a major piece of literature is supposedly founded, notably in view of the literary canon—a critical concept which T.S. Eliot himself greatly contributed to de

Abstract The works of John Taylor the Water Poet (1578–1653) have in recent years been reappraised by scholars of early modern material culture for their expression of a working-class voice, for their inventive manipulation of the print market, and above all for their embodiment, in contrast to dominant Renaissance paradigms of literary worth, of a poetics of physical labour. In this article I revisit the figure of the tailor in Taylor’s defences of his own literary practice, showing that he cleaved to a simplistic distinction between originality and theft, identifying tailoring with the latte
