In this study, I have read a large amount of poetry and have studied several books on prosody, the most influential of which was Poetic Meter and Poetic Form by Paul Fussell. This splendid book increased vastly my knowledge of poetry. and through it and other books, I became a much more sensitive, intelligent reader of poems. The problem with my study came when I tried to decide how to in­ corporate what I had learned into a scholarly paper, for it seemed that any attempt.to do so would result in the mere parroting of the words of Paul Fussell and others.

  • A Study of the Poetic Relationship Between Thomas Hardy and A.C

Department of ^MQrUtSM The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date oa- it mi DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT Thomas Hardy's elegy to A.C. Swinburne, composed in 1910 shortly after his death, points to a poetic relationship between the two poets which goes beyond admiration or influence. The relationship between Hardy and Swinburne has not been adequately explored by twentieth century critics, and it is the central purpose of this thesis to examine more closely parallels between them on the level of technique. Analysis of Hardy's elegy entitled "A Singer Asleep" suggests how Hardy may have identified with Swinburne on the level of technique.

  • Transformations of Sappho: Late 18Th Century to 1900
    Transformations of Sappho Late 18th Century to 1900 Athulya Aravind English Department Advisor: Guy Rotella Honors Junior/Senior Process, 2011 2 CONTENTS I – Introduction 3 II – Male Romantic Poets 11 III – Nineteenth Century Women Poets 34 IV - Victorian Male Poets 61 V – Michael Field 87 VI – Conclusion 99 Works Cited 101 3 I – Introduction The poet Sappho, a major exemplar of lyric verse and famous as the first female poet in Western literary history, is believed to have lived on the Greek island of Lesbos sometime in the 6th century BCE. So great was Sappho‘s fame in the ancient world that some six hundred years after her death, her lyrics were gathered into nine books organized in metrical schemes, subjects, performance styles, and genres. But, these books and most other records of Sappho disappeared in around the 9th century CE, and both Sappho and her works were largely repressed or neglected—for reasons both moral and accidental—during the Middle Ages. Happily, however, a small portion of Sappho‘s verse was rediscovered during the Renaissance, as an aspect of that period‘s more general revival of classical art and learning. Since then, the available corpus of Sappho‘s work has grown somewhat, especially with the resurfacing of several significant poetic fragments in the 19th and 20th centuries. Despite these recoveries, however, our archive of the poet‘s work remains extremely small: a single full poem (the ―Ode to Aprhodite,‖ known as Fragment 1). One fairly long poem (―He seems to me equal to a god,‖ known as Fragment 31), and several small, sometimes tiny scraps, many of them only a line or two long.

    Sex, Love & Poetry Sappho & Catullus Sappho Life ❖ born c. 630-612 BC, died 570? ❖ exiled to Sicily c. 600 BC; presumed to have returned ❖ Library of Alexandria had nine volumes of her poetry ❖ almost all slowly lost (wrote in Aeolic Greek, not Attic) ❖ essentially every detail about her life is either a legend, or an assumption that her poetry is autobiographical (a daughter named Cleïs?) Life ❖ really existed, however; her contemporary, Alcaeus, refers to her as “violent-haired, pure, honey-smiling Sappho” ❖ lived on the Greek isle of Lesbos during turbulent political times, and during a great flowering of Greek lyric poetry (Pindar of Thebes) ❖ air of unreality, however: Alcaeus’ description is more typical of a goddess Life ❖ influential also for modernity, but more as an absence than a presence ❖ gives us the word “lesbian” and “sapphic” ❖ field on which we can project desires, anxieties, fantasies ❖ Monique Wittig’s feminist encyclopedia gives only one woman a whole page: Sappho ❖ The page is completely blank Form ❖ wrote in many forms, but is most famous for the “Sapphic Stanza” ❖ 2 lines of hendecasyllables (lines of 11 syllables), plus a third line that “spills over” by an extra 5 syllables ❖ we receive her poetry as fragmentary today, giving it a Romantic feeling—the experience of the past as ruins, once whole, now lost to us The Sapphic Stanza Making Sapphics isn’t that easy, shackling Our reluctant language with trochees.* Since you First begot them, songstress of Lesbos, keep them.

  • Comparison Between the Grammar of Greek Sapphic and Tamil Seppal Songs
    Athens Journal of Philology - Volume 7, Issue 3, September 2020 – Pages 147-170 Comparison between the Grammar of Greek Sapphic and Tamil Seppal Songs By D Pugazhendhi* Sapphic stanza is a peculiar poetic form in Greek literary world. It gives more important to the structure. This form was tried in many languages; but this form was grammatically explained only at the later period. Resemblance with this format is also seen in Tamil literary world, and the grammar book also belongs to the same period as that of Sapphic stanza. So the grammar that is explained in this Tamil grammar book is compared with the grammar of Sapphic stanza. The comparison is made in different perspectives such as the letter count, light and heavy syllables, formats of the syllable, sequences between two syllables, syllable formation in a line, the length of each line and the lyric. It highlights that the Greek Sapphic stanza seems to resemble one type of seppal songs which are mentioned in the grammar book. Comparing the Greek literature with the grammar book of same era will lead to better understanding and clarify the concepts that were misunderstood and spread by the later critics. Keywords: comparison, grammar, Sapphic, seppal, structure. Introduction The Greek literature includes prose, poetry and dramas. In the Greek field of poetry comprises of various form of poems among which the Sappic stanza stands unique from others in its forms. This Sapphic stanza originated from the Greek poetess Sappho of Lesbos who lived sometime around 630 BC. It was written in vernacular form of Greek, the Lesbian-Aeolic dialect.

The young man’s symptoms included a faltering voice, burning sensations, a racing pulse, fainting, and pallor. In his biography of Antiochus’ father, Seleucus I, Plutarch reports that the symptoms manifested themselves only when Antiochus’ young stepmother Stratonice was in the room. The doctor was therefore able to diagnose the youth’s malady as an infatuation with her. The cause of the illness was clearly erotic, because the symptoms were “as described by Sappho.” The solution was simple: Antiochus’ father divorced Stratonice and let his son marry her instead. http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2015/may/07/sensual­sappho/?pagination=false&printpage=true 2/13 4/24/2015 Sensual Sappho by Edith Hall | The New York Review of Books Plutarch’s story invites us to wonder if the relationship between Sappho and erotic symptoms is entirely straightforward.

  • The Metrical Structure of the Sapphic Hendecasyllable and Sappho's
    Studia Metrica et Poetica 7.1, 2020, 97–113 The Metrical Structure of the Sapphic Hendecasyllable and Sappho’s Aiolikon in Lesbian Poetry Anni Arukask* Abstract: The works of Sappho and Alcaeus, 7th–6th century BC lyric poets from the island of Lesbos, represent the Aeolic tradition of ancient Greek poetry. In this paper, two metrical structures of this tradition, that both have two quantity-free positions (anceps, brevis in longo), are analysed and compared with regard to the quantitative tendencies of these positions. The first metrical structure, the Sapphic hendecasyllable, was used by both poets; the other, aiolikon, is not attested in Alcaeus’s work. The ana- lysed corpus consists of all the survived lines in these meters. Due to the fragmentary nature of the material, the statistical analysis is presented in two sets to add and include the data of the Sapphic and Alcaic lines about which there is a suspicion that they may be in these meters, and also to differentiate dubious data from the undubious. In addition, the statistical data of the quantitative tendencies of the undubious lines is also expressed with generative models. In general, all the free positions, except the ancipites of Sappho’s aiolikon, display a preference for heavy syllables and the prefer- ence is more pronounced in the brevis in longo position, especially when it comes to aiolikon. Comparing the hendecasyllables, Alcaeus tends to have more heavy syllables than Sappho. Aiolikon’s free positions exhibit the biggest quantitative contrast. Keywords: Sapphic hendecasyllable,
