University Mierisilms International 300 N INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. "I.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy. Requests can be made to our Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases we have filmed the best available copy.

Romanticism After Eliot: The Continuance of the Romantic Movement in Twentieth-Century American Poetry. (1982) Directed by: Dr. Charles Davis. Pp. 202. T. S. Eliot, through his criticism and his poetry, attempted to change the directions of twentieth-century poetry. His aim was to replace the poetry of the continuing Romantic movement with a highly scholarly, allusive poetry that had its foundations in the Metaphysical traditions of the early seventeenth century. In this aim, Eliot failed because the course of poetry that he advocated proved to be an inappropriate response to the chaos that served as a backdrop to all twentieth-century poetry. Eliot's poetic career exemplified the successful quest, based on tradition and religion, to find an orderly response to the chaos; however, Eliot's success was one that few poets could duplicate and therein lay his failure. A more acceptable response to the chaos was that exemplified by the poetry of Hart Crane and William Carlos Williams, in which the constantly adapting quest itself became a more reasonable response to the chaos than was an Eliot-like culmination of the quest. Crane and Williams conceived their poetry as a deliberate attempt to combat the changes that Eliot tried to create in twentieth-century poetry. Through the success of their own poetry, they underlined the temporary nature of Eliot's influence while reinforcing the dominance of the Romantic movement. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I gratefully acknowledge those who have helped me with this project, including those who have served on my advisory committee: Dr. Robert Watson, Dr. Amy Charles, Dr. Charles Tisdale, Dr. Robert Stinson, Dr. James Wimsatt, and Dr. Elizabeth Sewell.

THE CONTINUANCE OF ROMANTICISM 174 BIBLIOGRAPHY 197 iv 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION The critical debate concerning whether or not we are still in the grip of the Romantic movement has served as a backdrop to twentieth-century poetry. Until about the time of the First World War, it was generally conceded that the dominant trend in poetry continued to be Romantic; not long after the war, critics and poets began to speculate on the possibility of a new poetic movement having recently taken place—a movement equal in significance to the Romantic movement, whose origins lay more than a century in the past. On one side of the debate is the major figure of T. S. Eliot. For those who contend that we are living in a post-Romantic age, his poetry and criticism serve as the starting point. Eliot's advocates see The T7aste Land in particular as the decisive statement of the new movement—in much the same way that the Lyrical Ballads signaled both an end to Classicism and the birth of Romanticism. The advocates of a post-Romantic movement have dominated literary criticism since The Waste Land appeared in 1922, and even as early as The Sacred Wood, which was published in 1920. In addition to Eliot, Cleanth Brooks has been outstanding among the post-Romantic critics, and such major critics and poetic-critics as John Crowe Ransom, 2 Allen Tate, Robert Penn Warren, W. K. Wimsatt, I. A. Richards, and William Empson have added their support. These same men are also developers of a method of criticism that came to be known as the New Criticism, which grew to dominate twentieth-century critical theory. In their nearly total domination of the critical discussion of literature, the New Critics were able to foster the impres­ sion that their ideas concerning a post-Romantic revolution were beyond debate. There has been, however, another side to the debate, a side in which the unbroken continuation of Romanticism has been advocated. Critically, this side of the debate has been spearheaded by Karl Shapiro, but due to the pervasive influence of the New Critics, Shapiro and like-minded critics have had an uphill struggle in gaining widespread support for their views. If one were to examine the critical debate only, the result would appear to be hope­ lessly one-sided. But such an approach would ignore the actual poetic situation. From the very publication of The Waste Land (even from the time of earlier poems such as "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"), there were major poets who fought against the direction in which Eliot was taking poetry. They fought against Eliot and the post-Romantic tide not with criticism, in which they were comparatively weak, but primarily with poetry of their own. 3 Foremost among the poets who deliberately countered Eliot were Hart Crane and William Carlos Williams, whose works remain an affirmation of Romanticism. Both men reacted strongly against the direction in which Eliot was taking poetry, and in one sense, their poetry can be seen as a rebuttal to Eliot. Crane and Williams recognized the importance of Eliot's poetry and realized the influence he would have on their generation. Thus, they understood the magnitude of the task before them. Eliot's success forced them to be even more successful, and at the same time, they had to guard against his influencing them. When Crane died a few months short of his thirty-third birthday, he had already achieved some recognition as a major poet, but The Bridge was commonly criticized as a magnificent failure. Recognition of Williams' true stature was slow in coming. He was possibly the last great poet of his generation to be accorded major status. Gradually, critical opinion toward Crane and Williams swung in their favor, accompanied by a gradual shift away from Eliot's bias toward Romanticism. The diminishing acclaim for Eliot's poetry can be attributed, at least in part, to the predictable pendulum swing of critical opinion, and it is possible that before the twentieth century is over, we will see a revived interest in Eliot. For the moment, however, it can be said that Eliot has had surprisingly little influence on present-day poetry. Of the poets who first took up his 4 cause, only Robert Penn Warren is left, and his poetry shows a steady disengagement from the Eliot programme. The New Critics who were Eliot's strongest supporters show a lessening certainty that the Eliot programme has indeed become a lasting reality. Even Cleanth Brooks, in his revised introduction to Modern Poetry and the Tradition, appears to have backed away from his 1939 statement "that we are witnessing (or perhaps have just witnessed) a critical revolution of the order of the Romantic Revolt."''' One of the principal reasons for the collapse of the post-Romantic movement was that it did not provide a satisfactory response to a century whose manifest characteristic was chaos.

  • The Yale University Jean Toomer Papers
    The Yale University Jean Toomer papers http://webtext.library.yale.edu/xml2html/beinecke.TOOMER.con.html The Jean Toomer Papers contain correspondence; multiple drafts of unpublished books, essays, and other writings; and personal papers documenting the life of Jean Toomer. The papers span the years 1898-1963, but the bulk of the material dates from 1920-1954. Unfortunately, few manuscripts from Toomer's Harlem Renaissance period are preserved. Instead the papers are primarily drafts of his later, philosophical writings. Related papers written by his first wife, Margery Latimer, and transcripts of lectures given by his spiritual mentor, Georges Gurdjieff, as well as typescript drafts of Gurdjieff's Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson can also be found in the collection. The Jean Toomer Papers were donated to The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library by Marjorie Content Toomer in 1980 and transferred to Yale in 1985-88 from Fisk University, where they had been on deposit since 1962. Most of the papers were stamped, numbered, labelled, and annotated with dates and names at Fisk University. Most drafts in the collection were written on highly acidic paper and are in poor condition. Preservation photocopies have been made of all fragile correspondence, notes, and final drafts. Newspaper clippings have also been copied. Series I,Correspondence (Boxes 1-10) is divided into two sections: Jean Toomer and Margery Latimer Toomer. The correspondence of Jean Toomer includes letters from Margery Latimer Toomer, as well as letters to and from Marjorie Content Toomer. Correspondence from his mother, Nina Pinchback Toomer, contains a transcript of her letter to Nathan Toomer in 1897 asking for a divorce (Box 8, folder 262).

Queer Theory and the Disability Drive,” Anna Mollow discusses the modern cultural fantasy of a hygienic future in which all illness and disability have been eradi- cated. “Futurity,” she points out, “is habitually imagined in terms that fantasize the eradication of disability, a recovery of a crippled (or hobbled) economy, a cure for society’s ills, an end to suffering and disease” (288). She calls this fantasy—which is shaped by ide- ologies of health, ability, optimization, and fitness—“rehabilitative futurism.” Within the paradigm of rehabilitative futurism, the healthy subject is defined as an autonomous, productive, and rational deci- sion maker. By contrast, physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral disability figures as what troubles the domain of healthy citizenship, including dependency, unproductivity, and irrationality. Rehabilita- tive futurism thus ascribes a fundamental negativity to the disabled MFS Modern Fiction Studies, Volume 65, number 1, Spring 2019.

Whittier-Ferguson, Chair Associate Professor Kali A. K. Israel Associate Professor Joshua L. Miller Assistant Professor Andrea Patricia Zemgulys © Elspeth Egerton Healey _____________________________________________________________________________ 2008 Acknowledgements I have been incredibly fortunate throughout my graduate career to work closely with the amazing faculty of the University of Michigan Department of English. I am grateful to Marjorie Levinson, Martha Vicinus, and George Bornstein for their inspiring courses and probing questions, all of which were integral in setting this project in motion. The members of my dissertation committee have been phenomenal in their willingness to give of their time and advice. Kali Israel’s expertise in the constructed representations of (auto)biographical genres has proven an invaluable asset, as has her enthusiasm and her historian’s eye for detail. Beginning with her early mentorship in the Modernisms Reading Group, Andrea Zemgulys has offered a compelling model of both nuanced scholarship and intellectual generosity. Joshua Miller’s amazing ability to extract the radiant gist from still inchoate thought has meant that I always left our meetings with a renewed sense of purpose. I owe the greatest debt of gratitude to my dissertation chair, John Whittier-Ferguson. His incisive readings, astute guidance, and ready laugh have helped to sustain this project from beginning to end. The life of a graduate student can sometimes be measured by bowls of ramen noodles and hours of grading.

Pp. xvii + 346. 40 illustrations (in black and white). $15.00 In regard to comparative literatur.e, Claudio Guillen has suggested that stUdies of influence arc "indispensable to the understanding of literature" and that "a series of concepts and terms" is needed to distinguish between genuine influence and "noninfluencial echoes and parallelisms" (quoted from Hermeren, p. 303). Professor Hermeren has given us such a study. In fact, his remarkable book, the first of its kind, goes beyond Guillen's suggestions by providing a detailed sys­ tematic approach to studies of influence in art, literature, and comparative arts. The author's methodology is both descriptive and explicative: It is descriptive insofar as it describes the reasons, methods, concepts, and assumptions used by critics and scholars; and it is explicative insofar as it calls attention to vagueness and ambiguity, tries to clarify concepts and distinctions, or to draw new distinctions and replace vague concepts with concepts that are less vague. (p. xiv) Throughout his descriptive analyses of studies of influence, Professor Hermeren draws from the works of eminent scholars and critics of art and literature and tests the validity of their theories. Because of the complexity of the book, Professor Hermeren has taken great care to organize his work with .extraordinary precision.

  • On Hart Crane's Imagination of Representational Space and Representations of Space in the Bridge
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, July 2016, Vol. 6, No. 7, 722-735 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2016.07.002 D DAVID PUBLISHING “A Walk in Between” —On Hart Crane’s Imagination of Representational Space and Representations of Space in The Bridge Billy Bin Feng Huang National Chengchi University, Taipei, Taiwan (R.O.C.) In this paper, Henri Lefebvre’s theorizations about representational space and representations of space will be employed to examine Hart Crane’s imagination of them in The Bridge. First, according to Lefebvre, representations of space are created with violence for the purpose of accumulating capital. On the other hand, representational space is directly lived or affectively felt, opened up by inhabitants’ imagination. In addition, Lefebvre points out that in abstract space, representational space will be invaded by representations of space. In The Bridge, Crane’s affective experience with the Brooklyn Bridge or the subway indicates that he treats New York as a representational space. Besides, Crane expresses his concern for how capitalism has encroached on it. It would seem that Crane has followed Lefebvre’s line of thinking in The Bridge. However, it is actually a specious analysis because both the Brooklyn Bridge and the subway are representations of space. And in this long poem, Crane feels the urban space through history, which plays a key role in creating representations of space. Thus, we can conclude that Crane is actually taking “a walk in between” in The Bridge. With his imagination, Crane has combined representations of space and representational space into his own poetic vision.
