Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to illustrate the process of mourning within the works of five key 'confessional' poets: Robert Lowell, Theodore Roethke, John Berryman, Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. I will use a psychoanalytical framework to explore the reverberations of a father's death in their poetry. I will illustrate the various methods employed by these poets to reconnect with this deceased figure in their poetry. By using psychoanalytical theories from Sigmund Freud to John Bowlby, I will illustrate the various pathways of mourning adopted by each of these poets and show how contemporary

Abstract:

Circus Aesthetics examines the work of the African American poet Robert Hayden and engages with the problem of identifying different frameworks with which to think about Hayden’s poetry and African American literature more broadly. In 1978, two years before his death, Hayden, the first African American poet to be nominated Poetry Consultant at the Library of Congress, was still struggling and fighting with the idea of being considered a “black poet” and with the socio-political implications and expectations that accompanied that label. During his address to the Library of Congress on May 8, 19

Abstract:

viii, 214 p.<br>In this study, I examine the various techniques used by poets to provide consolation. With Tennyson's In Memoriam, I explore the relationship between formal and thematic consolation, i.e., the ways in which the use of formal elements of the poem, particularly rhyme scheme, is an attempt by the poet to attain and offer consolation. Early in his laureateship after the Duke of Wellington's funeral, Tennyson wrote "Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington," but this poem failed to meet his reading audience`s needs, as did the first major work published after Tennyson was named Po

Abstract:

On croyait l’élégie disparue après l’apogée qu’avait connue le genre pendant le Romantisme et après les attaques dont il avait été la cible, les poètes « modernes » ayant choisi de s’affirmer contre les « excès » du lyrisme romantique dont l’élégie était devenue la caricature. Le lyrisme et la poésie de la première personne sont eux-mêmes restés au centre des attaques et des moqueries durant tout le XXe siècle. C’est pourtant à une renaissance du genre que l’on assiste, timide et progressive dans la première moitié du XXe siècle, puis à une véritable recrudescence dans la seconde moitié du siè

Abstract:

This thesis examines the hair imagery that runs through the works of Propertius, Tibullus, and Ovid. Comparative analysis of the elegists’ approaches to the motif, with particular emphasis on determining where and how each deviates from the cultural assumptions and literary tradition attached to each image, sheds light on the character and purposes of elegy as a genre, as well as on the individual aims and innovations of each poet. The Introduction provides some background on sociological approaches to the study of hair, and considers the reasons why hair imagery should have such a prominent p

Pedro Salinas et Eugenio Montale ont lu À la recherche du temps perdu dans l’Europe du premier proustisme (1920-1930). Les poétiques du poète italien et du poète espagnol s’inscrivent dans une même recherche du secret invisible, de l’essence du monde. Le parallélisme, inédit et intertextuel, entre leurs poème

Abstract:

This study examines the attitudes to, and commemoration of, death in Wales in the period between the end of the thirteenth century and the middle of the sixteenth century by analysis of the poetical work produced during this period. In so doing, this is placed in the wider context of death and commemoration in Europe. Although there are a number of memorial tombs and some evidence of religious visual art in Wales which has survived from the late medieval period, in comparison with that to be found in many other European countries, this is often neither so commonplace nor so imposing. However,

Abstract:

<p>Although Charles Baudelaire's poetry was censored in part for his graphic representations of death, for Baudelaire himself, death was the ultimate censorship. He grappled with its limitations of the possibility of articulation in Les Fleurs du mal, Le Spleen de Paris, "Le Poème du hachisch," and other works. The first chapter of this dissertation, "Dead Silent," explores Baudelaire's use of apophasis as a rhetorical tactic to thwart the censoring force of death as what prevents the speaking subject from responding. Chapter two, "Voices Beyond the Grave," then investigates the opposite poeti

Abstract:

Dissertação de mestrado em Língua, Literatura e Cultura Inglesas<br>The habit of melancholy in the early modern period engendered medical inquiry, selfexamination, and artistic reverberations. The theory of the humours, combined with Aristotle’s dovetailing of melancholy and genius, exerted enormous influence on attitudes towards melancholy. Melancholy became, then, a desirable attribute, and the figure of the atrabilious man something to emulate. Women, however, because of their disorderly bodies and unruly emotions, were largely excluded from the tradition of melancholy. Their presumed

Abstract:

By reading mournful poems rhetorically, I expand the concept of the elegy in order to reveal continuities between private and communal modes of mourning. My emphasis on readers of elegies challenges writer-centered definitions of the elegy, like that given by Peter Sacks, who describes how the elegy's formal conventions express the elegist's own motives for writing. Although Sacks's Freudian approach helpfully delineates some of the consoling effects that writing poetry has on the elegist herself, this dissertation revises such writer-centered concepts of the elegy by asking how elegies rhetor

Full text

Abstract:

Contemporary Canadian prairie women poets write about the mother figure to counter maternal suppression and the homogenization of maternal representations in literature. Critics, like Marianne Hirsch and Andrea O’Reilly, insist that mothers tell their own stories, yet many mothers are unable to. Daughter and mother stories, Jo Malin argues, overlap. The mother “becomes a subject, or rather an ‘intersubject’” in the text (2). Literary depictions of daughter-mother or mother-child intersubjectivities, however, are not confined to auto/biographical or fictional narratives. As a genre and potentia

Abstract:

Ce mémoire explore la parenté qui existe entre le principe poétique de mezura (résistance à l’éros mélancolique) élaboré par les troubadours et l’expression du deuil présente dans Quelque chose noir (1986) de Jacques Roubaud. Le premier chapitre vise à cerner comment le rapport aux photographies laissées par Alix Cléo Roubaud, photographe et épouse décédée du poète, mobilise un imaginaire mélancolique propre à l’univers des troubadours. On verra que la contemplation des images permet d’enclencher la mise en mémoire de la disparue. Le deuxième chapitre s’intéresse au dialogue impossible, conçu
