Sylvia Plath is one of the most controversial poets of our time-and she is more. Plath has grown into a cult figure, a dramatic presence whose dramatic absence-her suicide at thirty-shrouded the woman and her work in conjecture's cloak of holes. For some she became the symbol of woman oppressed, albeit by cultural forces rather than the physical brutality she sometimes invokes; others saw her as the triumphant victim of her own intensity, the authentic poet pursuing sensation to that ultimate, exciting uncertainty, death; for still others she became in retrospect the doomed innocent, undone by a sensibility too acute for our gross physical world. But the list of projected Plaths might go on for pages: everyone, it seems, has his own version of the Sylvia Plath myth. Such mythologizing affects everything about the poet, including criti­ cism of her work. In 1970 Mary Kinzie found Plath criticism divided sharply into two periods, with the poet's death, on 11 February 1963, marking the turning point. The early criticism, "reviews of The Colossus had been brief, reserved, entirely conventional."1 and The Bell Jar[,] The next period, through and beyond the book in which Kinzie's remarks appeared, was devoted to revaluation and canonization. ix Introduction Plath's suicide and the publication two years later of evinced Ariel something very like poetic sainthood, recoloring the earlier work and lending the whole enterprise an austere pallor of immortality. Critics who, lacking the evidence of the later poems, had not heard all of course that lay submerged beneath now found the overlooked The Colossus, meanings embarrassingly plain. Even so acute a reader as Richard Howard, in an essay that remains one of the most perceptive discussions of Plath, found himself beginning with a public confession of earlier blindness: "The first review I ever wrote of a book of poems was of first book of her poems, that breviary of estrangement ..., .. , and in my The Colossus . account ...of these well-behaved, shapely poems by a summa cum laude graduate of Smith who had worked as a guest editor of Mademoiselle and won a Fulbright to Newnham, the wife of Ted Hughes and the mother of two children, I missed a lot- I had no premonition of what was coming."2 Plath ascended. We need but mark Howard's italicized his recitation of biographical details, to gauge the tenor of that "her," second period of Plath criticism. The past five or six years have seen the emergence of more measured consideration and the arrival of several book-length studies, but the balanced appraisal Plath needs has not yet appeared. Edward Butscher's gossipy, oversimplifying "critical biography," Sylvia Plath: Method and is at best cursory in its criticism and nowhere captures a poet. Madness, David Holbrook's reductive psychoanalytic study, Sylvia Plath: Poetry conceals its occasional insights among a forest of Freudean and Existence, trees; there are so many more pricks than kicks that we lose track of the kicks almost entirely. Even the most informative scholarly study to appear, Judith Kroll's Chapters in a Mythology: The Poetry of Sylvia considerably overextends its quite useful research, fitting all of Plath, Plath's poems to a thesis that can cover only some of them. There is a strong calling, then, for the present collection. Not yet the unified, full, and just evaluation that Plath deserves, it is nevertheless a movement by committee to that end, a diversity of carefully formulated praise and blame, analysis and contextualization, from which serious students and later evaluators can usefully draw. The book is divided into three parts, Achievement and Value, Process and Influence, Personal and Public Contexts; by no means hermetic, these sections nevertheless represent the broadly differing approaches of aesthetic overview, technical examination, and biographical and historical connection. With a single exception, all of the essays were commissioned for this book. And all of them were able to draw on materials that most earlier commentators lacked: a substantial body of Plath's poems and prose, a moderately detailed biographical record, and an important selection of the poet's correspondence. X Introduction 2 Because the essence of this book lies in the demonstration of its writers' claims, which, I think, are carried out in exceptionally rich and diverse ways, little of these essays' thunder will be stolen by summarizing and introducing them. Such a summary has its uses: it will serve as a process of abstracting for those readers who are determined to pursue only certain inquiries; it will suggest both the shape and the voices of the book; and it may help the thoroughly involved reader, laboring to assimilate many, sometimes unfamiliar examples, keep the arguments straight. Part one begins with Calvin Bedient's admiring demonstration of Plath's romanticism. Bedient finds Plath's thought unimportant and her sensibility -exhaustingly consumed in contradiction, overvulnerable-primarily useful in helping us recognize our own complicity in it. He locates Plath's importance in intensity-"she became our second queen (poor queen, mad queen) of subjectivity" -and his essay is an exceptionally sensitive characterization of the subjective drama of Plath's poetry. J. D. McClatchy's valuation is also high, but somewhat different. For him, Plath is a period poet, one "whose sensibilities uniquely captured -and whose work continues to recover for later readers-[her] contempo­ rary culture's tone, values, and issues." Like Bedient, McClatchy sees little importance in Plath's subjects; for him, however, her importance resides in a "rapidly evolving relationship to style," and he traces that evolution from the traditionalism of the poems to the taut new purity of Colossus with its "abundance and abandon," its "sense of autopsy." Plath, he Ariel, concludes, is an innovator as important as Lowell or Roethke in her "ex­ periments with voice and the relationships among tone and image and address." Hugh Kenner puts a damper on the enthusiasm for Plath. Marking the precision and control of the early poems, he finds that the intricate formalism of "detained her mind upon the plane of craft, The Colossus and so long as it was detained there it did not slip toward what beckoned it." Kenner sees great promise in that first book-had she developed its ways of working, "it is a plausible guess that the arc of her development might have easily exceeded Lowell's" -but finds the promise betrayed by the "bogus spirituality" of the poems.

  • Affirming Childhood Spirituality of Hospitalized Immigrant Children
    Affirming Childhood Spirituality of Hospitalized Immigrant Children Peter Kantembe [email protected] On several occasions my fellow European hospital chaplains have invited me to visit African patients, more especially hospitalized children. The purpose of such invitations is to facilitate the patient’s openness and comfortability since I am an African just as the patient is. While there maybe advantages in such practices, the African patient is robbed of a new European spiritual relational experience. Children are open to new experiences and new relationships even in a hospital care environment. Therefore denying them new cultural and relational experiences may inhibit both spiritual development and cultural skill building opportunities . Journal of Childhood and Religion Volume 5, Issue 4 (October 2014) ©Sopher Press (contact [email protected]) Page 1 of 28 Pastoral care to children in hospitals may take two approaches. Spiritual care providers may employ predefined methods based on what they deem to be spiritually viable and appropriate for the hospitalized children or the other approach in which children are taken seriously as spiritual persons with valid problems and spiritual potentials. This first approach may find its basis in taking children as immature people who have to be grafted into adulthood by experienced people or as little innocents who have to be protected from the leaven of this sinful world. The pastoral care provider is concerned with protecting the vulnerability of the child in the whole process of care. In light of that goal, the pastoral care provider joins forces with loving parents and other care providers in shielding the child from experiencing the reality of suffering, illness and the isolation of hospitalization.

    Poetic Patriarch The singular Richard Wilbur displays a “Mozartean felicity” with verse. During the extended World War II battle of Monte Cassino, Richard Wilbur spent a lot of time in a foxhole. The Germans had pinned down his army division in a valley, firing their 88s from the hills above. “As Waugh said, a lot of war is just waiting around,” says Wilbur, who used that waiting time to read Edgar Allan Poe, among others, and to write poems. Years later, he observed that if there were no atheists in foxholes, there were plenty of poets. “Poems were a way of putting your world in order, a bit,” he explains. Wilbur, A.M. ’47, JF ’50, sent one of those battlefield poems to Wilbur’s Collected Poems 1943-2004, critic Adam Kirsch ’97 wrote, his wife, Charlee, who showed it to a friend who was an editor at “No other twentieth-century American poet, with the possible the Saturday Evening Post.

  • Confronted Patriarchy in Sylvia Plath's Poems
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by TEFLIN (Teaching English as a Foreign Language in Indonesia) Journal (State University... CONFRONTED PATRIARCHY IN SYLVIA PLATH'S POEMS Kukuh Prayitno Subagyo Universitas Negeri Malang, Indonesia Abstract: The American literary canons, mainly those of the nineteen fifties and the nineteen sixties, had consistently portrayed women as subservient citizens. Women in the American culture had been put under men s domina- tion and thus lost their identity and been unable to determine their own fate. They played roles long prescribed by men, both in the home and in their so- cial milieu. As products of the era, a number of Sylvia Plath s poems depict confrontation against this phenomenon of patriarchy in which women have been inferior to and abused by men; they fight for freedom and to regain their true roles as women and human beings. Key words: the American literary canons, patriarchy, Sylvia Plath s poems The American nineteen fifties and sixties have witnessed the advent of literary works portraying women s struggle for liberation, the so-called Women s Movement, whose members turned out to be assertive activists struggling for the sake of their fellow woman citizens. The Women s Movement for libera- tion gained its momentum during these decades, and continued to color the lit- erary works of all genres even in the ensuing years. In fact, such woman- related themes as feminism, women studies, and women s emancipation have dominated not only the American literary genres but those of the world as well beyond the turn of the second millennium.

    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Modernist Poetry
    GRAAT On-Line issue #8 August 2010 The unquiet boundary, or the footnote Auto-exegetic modes in (neo-)modernist poetry Lucie Boukalova University of Northern Iowa “It is generally supposed that where there is no QUOTATION, there will be found most originality. Our writers usually furnish their pages rapidly with the productions of their own soil: they run up a quickset hedge, or plant a poplar, and get trees and hedges of this fashion much faster than the former landlords procured their timber. The greater part of our writers, in consequence, have become so original, that no one cares to imitate them; and those who never quote, in return are seldom quoted!” Isaac Disraeli, Curiosities of Literature “I have been accused of wanting to make people read all the classics; which is not so. I have been accused of wishing to provide a „portable substitute for the British Museum,‟ which I would do, like a shot, were it possible. It isn‟t.” Ezra Pound, How to Read Clearly unhappy with the course of the scholarly treatment of his notes to The Waste Land, T.S. Eliot revisits the exegetical site three decades after the modernist annus mirabilis in “The Frontiers of Criticism” (1956). Even though he acknowledges that he is not wholly “guiltless of having led critics into temptation” by his annotation, and even though he regrets “having sent so many enquirers off on a wild goose chase,”1 the poet does not publicly condemn his previous method. Retracing and reinforcing the frontiers of a profitable critical enterprise, Eliot calls for a more immediate, and intuitive interaction between the poetic lines and their “paratext.”2 115 However, thus still defending the aesthetic value of his referential apparatus, Eliot seems to have lost faith in the continuity of such practice in the contemporary creative and critical climate.
