Knopf, 1997 CHAPTER 1 Introduction This book is about three poets—Ezra Pound, Robert Frost, and Marianne Moore—and how they responded to the demand that poetry aspire to scientifc precision. This may seem a topic of minor importance compared to their involvement with such grave matters as politics, eco- nomics, literary history, and contemporary culture. But how they han- dled this demand affected such concerns; they would not have been the same poets without their varying responses to the insistence that poetry be precise. It is important to add that they often found precision shad- owed by its opposite—imprecision. And just as Pound, Frost, and Moore handled precision differently, they found varied uses for imprecision. Before the early twentieth century, precision had rarely been associ- ated with poetry. Pound sought to marry them as early as 1910 when he proclaimed in The Spirit of Romance (1910) that “Poetry is a sort of inspired mathematics, which gives us equations, not for abstract fg- ures, triangles, spheres, and the like, but equations for the human emo- tions” (1968, 14). This analogy between poetry and exact mathematics was novel; it had been customary to regard them as barely acquainted. Indeed, poets and novelists sometimes ridiculed science and mathemat- ics. Two centuries earlier, in Gulliver’s Travels (1726), Swift had derided the experimental eccentricities of the Royal Society in his description of the grand academy of Lagado. He also satirized the misuse of mathe- matics in the court of Laputa, where a tailor employs a quadrant, a rule, and compasses to measure Gulliver for a suit of clothes that turns out to be “very ill made.” Between Swift’s day and Pound’s, however, © The Author(s) 2020 1 B. Ahearn, Pound, Frost, Moore, and Poetic Precision, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-36544-8_1 2 B. AHEARN science and mathematics increasingly demonstrated their practical util- ity. Steamboats freed mariners from dependence on the wind and tide. Samuel F. B. Morse made it possible to communicate instantaneously across vast distances. By the middle of the nineteenth century it had become commonplace to praise science extravagantly. In The Gay Science (1866), Eneas Sweetland Dallas exulted that “In electricity we seem to be hovering on the verge of some grand discovery, and already the elec- tric spark has been trained to feats more marvellous than any recorded of Ariel or Puck. Optics now enable us to discover the composition of the sun, and to detect the presence of metals to the millionth part of a grain. Seven-league boots are clumsy beside a railway; steam-ships make a jest of the fying carpet” (1866, 1: 52). It was not enough for Dallas to boast about the triumphs of science and technology. His disparagement of Ariel, Puck, and the fying carpet implied that the romance of science had eclipsed the fantasies of dramatists, novelists, and poets. Science and mathematics had increasingly become the means by which civilization measured itself and the surrounding universe.

  • Thackeray's Qualifications As a Literary Critic
    CHAPTER I Thackeray's Qualifications as a Literary Critic I. Thackeray's first qualification for literary criticism was the "aesthetic edu­ cation" which he underwent rather outside the walls of school and university huildings than inside them and which eventually proved more rewarding than the school and university curricula, although his formal education, being good, even though unfinished, does of course form a very important part of his endowment. This informal and voluntary aesthetic education had many aspects, the chief of them being the discussions on art and literature which he carried on with his school and later his University friends, his extensive reading, both his regular and his voluntary study of the art of painting in the Paris and London studios, museums and galleries, his visits to theatres and concerts, and his own early activities as writer, critic and caricaturist. One of the most important assets for him as literary critic was of course his extensive knowledge of literature, especially of those genres which later became the main subject of his critical interest (fiction, historical, biographical and travel-books), but also of those to which he paid, as critic, lesser attention (poetry and drama). We possess much direct evidence concerning his familiarity with the works of a very great number of classical, English, French, German, Italian and American writers, supplied by the records of his reading in his diaries, by the state of his library, the testimony of his friends, the records of his conversations, numerous occasional references to individual books and writers in his works and correspondence, and of course the bibliography of his criticism.

Selections from Brillat-Savarin, Alexandre Dumas (père) and an especially welcome translation from the pioneering journalism of Grimod de la Reynière represent the French. But the big surprise lies across the Channel. Denise Gigante makes a truly original contribution with her promotion of English gastronomers such as Launcelot Sturgeon, Dick Humelbergius Secundus, and The Alderman (all pseudonyms), Charles Lamb and Thackeray. Successors to the French, the English gastronomers come into their own as descendants of the Enlightenment writers on taste. The perceptive introduction to the anthology with its connections to literary and philosophical concerns, the useful presentation and thorough notes to each selection, the contemporary illustrations—and of the course the delicious texts themselves—make Gusto a succulent feast for twenty-first century diners and readers alike.” —Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson, author of Accounting for Taste “Informative and witty, these essays demonstrate the application of science, philosophy, and medicine to the developing culture of gastronomy. Denise Gigante has assembled the writings of the founders of modern ideas about eating, taste, and manners, framing robust selections with illuminating and authoritative scholarship.” —Carolyn Korsmeyer,

  • Associationism and Style in the Nineteenth-Century British Novel Deborah Aschkenes Submitted in Partial Fu
    In the Mind’s Eye: Associationism and Style in the Nineteenth-Century British Novel Deborah Aschkenes Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2015 © 2015 Deborah Aschkenes All rights reserved. ABSTRACT In the Mind’s Eye: Associationism and Style in the Nineteenth-Century British Novel Deborah Aschkenes In the Mind’s Eye: Associationism and Style in the Nineteenth-Century British Novel argues that the British novel, in its syntactic, grammatical, and rhetorical strategies, incorporated associationist premises about reading comprehension. Associationism, as a term, encapsulates a series of theories during the period that attempted to explain the ways in which external stimuli were “represented” in the mind and linked with other ideas. Inquiries into the association of ideas spanned numerous fields but shared a core belief: everything an individual touched, saw, smelled, or read, was translated into a secondary representation in the mind. Since all objects— whether a phrase, a misty moor, or a character’s face—were thought to be experienced through mental “miniatures,” the association of ideas was the mechanism of the reading experience and of phenomenal experience. Associationist theories delineated how words evoked images, and the ways in which these images became linked to form holistic ideas in the course of a sentence, a paragraph, and throughout a work of fiction. In this project, I show how four canonical nineteenth-century authors—Jane Austen, Walter Scott, Charles Dickens, and George Eliot—created prose styles intended to evoke, enhance, or even resist the spontaneous associative mechanisms considered essential to the comprehension of language.
