  • A MEDIUM for MODERNISM: BRITISH POETRY and AMERICAN AUDIENCES April 1997-August 1997
    A MEDIUM FOR MODERNISM: BRITISH POETRY AND AMERICAN AUDIENCES April 1997-August 1997 CASE 1 1. Photograph of Harriet Monroe. 1914. Archival Photographic Files Harriet Monroe (1860-1936) was born in Chicago and pursued a career as a journalist, art critic, and poet. In 1889 she wrote the verse for the opening of the Auditorium Theater, and in 1893 she was commissioned to compose the dedicatory ode for the World’s Columbian Exposition. Monroe’s difficulties finding publishers and readers for her work led her to establish Poetry: A Magazine of Verse to publish and encourage appreciation for the best new writing. 2. Joan Fitzgerald (b. 1930). Bronze head of Ezra Pound. Venice, 1963. On Loan from Richard G. Stern This portrait head was made from life by the American artist Joan Fitzgerald in the winter and spring of 1963. Pound was then living in Venice, where Fitzgerald had moved to take advantage of a foundry which cast her work. Fitzgerald made another, somewhat more abstract, head of Pound, which is in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. Pound preferred this version, now in the collection of Richard G. Stern. Pound’s last years were lived in the political shadows cast by his indictment for treason because of the broadcasts he made from Italy during the war years. Pound was returned to the United States in 1945; he was declared unfit to stand trial on grounds of insanity and confined to St. Elizabeth’s Hospital for thirteen years. Stern’s novel Stitch (1965) contains a fictional account of some of these events.

  • Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey
    Poet’s Corner in Westminster Abbey Alton Barbour Abstract: Beginning with a brief account of the history of Westminster Abbey and its physical structure, this paper concentrates on the British writers honored in the South Transept or Poet’s Corner section. It identifies those recognized who are no longer thought to be outstanding, those now understood to be outstanding who are not recognized, and provides an alphabetical listing of the honored members of dead poet’s society, Britain’s honored writers, along with the works for which they are best known. Key terms: Poet’s Corner, Westminster Abbey, South Transept. CHRISTIANITY RETURNS AND CHURCHES ARE BUILT A walk through Westminster Abbey is a walk through time and through English history from the time of the Norman conquest. Most of that journey is concerned with the crowned heads of England, but not all. One section of the Abbey has been dedicated to the major figures in British literature. This paper is concerned mainly with the major poets, novelists and dramatists of Britain, but that concentration still requires a little historical background. For over nine centuries, English monarchs have been both crowned and buried in Westminster Abbey. The Angles, Saxons and Jutes who conquered and occupied England in the mid 5th century were pagans. But, as the story goes, Pope Gregory saw two fair-haired boys in the Roman market who were being sold as slaves and asked who they were. He was told that they were Angles. He replied that they looked more like angels (angeli more than angli) and determined that these pagan people should be converted to Christianity.

  • Time, Transience and Permanence in Thomas Hardys Poetry
    TIME, TRANSIENCE AND PERMANENCE IN THOMAS HARDY’S POETRY N A I e scholarly critic, when assessing the life and works of a famous writer, must use the most delicate of critical tools to sort and divide a liter- ary oeuvre. Texts must be carefully catalogued and designated in order of importance, yet they must also be constantly re-evaluated and challenged as the passing of time and improved historical data aords later readers a clearer, more panoramic view. Similarly, commercially successful or unsuc- cessful works which critics judge to presage or bookend a literary career can also come to oversimplify a popular understanding of a writer’s literary development and purpose. e literary life of the Dorset writer omas Hardy is oen judged in such commercial terms, and can be seen as span- ning the publication of two of his most famous novels. In 1874, the success of Far From the Madding Crowd allowed Hardy to give up his work as an architect for writing, and its publication launched his literary career. Over twenty years later, the 1895 publication of Jude the Obscure saw Hardy en- dure a welter of social criticism, and this coincided with his decision to give up writing novels and shi his focus to poetry. While Hardy is consid- ered to be one of the greatest English novelists, however, his poetry took much longer to achieve critical success, his verse being considered by some as merely a reaction to the critical failure of Jude. Conversely, Hardy saw himself primarily as a poet and during his lifetime produced a vast body of verse that was strikingly uniform in its thematic approach towards time and memory.

  • Introduction
    Notes Quotations from Love’s Martyr and the Diverse Poetical Essays are from the first edition of 1601. (I have modernized these titles in the text.) Otherwise, Shakespeare is quoted from The Riverside Shakespeare, ed. G. Blakemore Evans, 2nd edn (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1997). Jonson, unless otherwise noted, is quoted from Ben Jonson, ed. C. H. Herford and Percy and Evelyn Simpson, 11 vols (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1925–52), and Edmund Spenser from The Works of Edmund Spenser: A Variorum Edition, ed. Edwin Greenlaw, Charles Osgood and Fredrick Padelford, 10 vols (Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1932–57). Introduction 1. Colin Burrow, ‘Life and Work in Shakespeare’s Poems’, Shakespeare’s Poems, ed. Stephen Orgel and Sean Keilen (London: Taylor & Francis, 1999), 3. 2. J. C. Maxwell (ed.), The Cambridge Shakespeare: The Sonnets (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1969), xxxiii. 3. See, for instance, Catherine Belsey’s essays ‘Love as Trompe-l’oeil: Taxonomies of Desire in Venus and Adonis’, in Shakespeare in Theory and Practice (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2008), 34–53, and ‘The Rape of Lucrece’, in The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare’s Poetry, ed. Patrick Cheney (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2007), 90–107. 4. William Empson, Essays on Shakespeare (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1986), 1. 5. I admire the efforts of recent editors to alert readers to the fact that all titles imposed on it are artificial, but there are several reasons why I reluctantly refer to it as ‘The Phoenix and Turtle’. Colin Burrow, in The Complete Sonnets and Poems (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2002), chooses to name it after its first line, the rather inelegant ‘Let the bird of lowdest lay’, which, out of context, to my ear sounds more silly than solemn.

Available at: https://scholarcommons.sc.edu/ssl/vol43/iss1/2 This Symposium is brought to you by the Scottish Literature Collections at Scholar Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Studies in Scottish Literature by an authorized editor of Scholar Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. INTRODUCTION: SCOTTISH LITERATURE AND PERIODIZATION Juliet Shields The way we organize the study of literature is changing. Until comparatively recently, it was normative for scholars to specialize in the literature of a particular time and place—for instance Victorian Britain or Colonial America—and for English majors to take survey courses that traced the development of a national literature over time, in addition to classes on genres, topics, or methodological approaches. Diminishing budgets and increasingly globalized campuses, among other factors, have begun to challenge this diachronic model of disciplinary organization. Periodization has also come under theoretical scrutiny, with Ted Underwood and others arguing that it is neither a natural nor an inevitable way to organize our discipline. As just one alternative to periodization among many, Underwood points to “the discipline of history itself, where the looser concept of ‘area’ occupies the institutional role that periods occupy in literary studies.”1 This symposium examines the role that periodization plays in shaping our understanding of Scottish literary history.
