The Forties: a Doctorate in Creative and Critical Writing
The Forties: A Doctorate in Creative and Critical Writing Todd Swift Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the degree of PhD University of East Anglia Faculty of Humanities School of Literature and Creative Writing August, 2011 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived therefrom must be in accordance with current UK copyright law.

ABSTRACT Todd Swift, 2011, ‗The Forties: A Doctorate in Creative and Critical Writing‘ This work is in two parts: a portfolio of creative writing (poetry), preceded by a critical thesis. In the critical aspect of my dissertation I contest a dominant account of poetic creation and influence in the period 1938–1954, and consider a third line of influence that arose in post-war British poetry. The methodology follows in the footsteps of Other Traditions by John Ashbery: literary criticism by a practitioner. My critical writing complements my poetry collection, whose various styles and registers relate to the poetic influences discussed. My first three chapters develop the argument as follows: Chapter One considers ideas of ‗style‘ and ‗poetic style‘. Chapter Two narrows in on the idea of ‗period style‘ in poetry and turns more specifically into a discussion of the Forties Style in Poetry. Chapter Three looks directly at the period under question, the Forties, and its key poet, Dylan Thomas, as read by critics. Chapter Four discusses F.T. Prince, a major poet much overlooked. -

Madame…* Blanc Je n’avais jamais entendu prononcer le nom de Linda Leith avant de me porter volontaire comme bénévole à Heather O’NEILL Metropolis bleu. Je m’engageais certes pour la Littérature, pour baigner dans le chaos d’un festival (et assister à des évènements gratuitement), mais j’y allais surtout pour échanger avec des auteurs et des autrices autrement que par Mademoiselle Samedi soir livre ou professeur interposé. Et pour cela, j’étais prête à me rendre dans un hôtel impersonnel du centre-ville de Montréal où se tenait alors la manifestation. La jeune vingtaine, je poursuivais alors avec une ardeur non feinte et une inspiration emballée un baccalauréat en Patrick deWITT études anglaises et littérature comparée à l’Université de Montréal. J’avais très peu ou alors vaguement conscience que des anglophones écrivaient aussi au Québec. Dans mes cours, nous lisions dans le texte original Emily Dickinson, Sortie côté tour Cormac McCarthy, Don DeLillo, Jean Rhys ou Joseph Conrad, mais très peu d’œuvres québécoises — en français ou en anglais —, à l’exception de Cohen dont les romans The Favorite Game et Beautiful Losers m’avaient laissée mystifiée David MITCHELL et confuse par le talent de leur auteur. -

A Broadcast from Cairo: Poetry, Politics and the Extraordinary Pressure of News 1
A BROADCAST FROM CAIRO: POETRY, POLITICS AND THE EXTRAORDINARY PRESSURE OF NEWS 1 We lie in bed and listen to a broadcast from Cairo, and so on. There is no distance. We are intimate with people we have never seen, and, unhappily, they are intimate with us. – Wallace Stevens, The Noble Rider and the Sound of Words (1951)1 As the world strained to hear, the networks became the story. It was just past noon in Paris. A reporter for Agence France-Presse, the French news agency, was monitoring a routine radio broadcast from Cairo describing a military parade attended by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and other dignitaries. Suddenly a cacophony of explosions, machine-gun fire and anguished screams jolted him upright in his chair. Then, just as abruptly, the radio fell ominously silent. – Janice Castro, Time Magazine (October 19, 1981)2 PART ONE: AN INTRODUCTION Thirty years after Wallace Stevens‟ lament in his essay “The Noble Rider and the Sound of Words” over the “extraordinary pressure of news” – which brought a “reality” that was “spiritually violent” for “everyone alive” (a reality the poet” must abstract” by “placing it in his imagination”3) – another broadcast from Cairo reported the assassination of Anwar Sadat, and with it, the termination of at least one possible “road map for peace”. Fifty years later, September 2001 saw a series of powerful broadcasts from America (and the Middle East), that marked a watershed in global “spiritual violence” for everyone alive, as Osama bin Laden‟s airline pilots (people that arguably Americans had never before “seen” or listened to) became unhappily all too “intimate” with us (the West) and provided a shocking dose of “reality”. -

Through imagination and memory, Cohen continuously explores his past as a man, a member of a family, and a representative of a culture. The complex interconnection of individual and collective pasts constitutes the core of Cohen’s philosophy informed by his Jewish heritage, while its artistic expression is indebted to the literary past. -
Carcanet New Books 2010
NEW BOOKS APRIL – DECEMBER 2010 Chinua Achebe John Ashbery Sujata Bhatt Eavan Boland Joseph Brodsky Paul Celan Inger Christensen Gillian Clarke Donald Davie Hilda Doolittle (H.D.) Forty years of great poetry Iain Crichton Smith Elaine Feinstein Carcanet Celebrates 40 Years...from Carcanet... Louise Glück Jorie Graham W.S. Graham Robert Graves Ivor Gurney Marilyn Hacker Sophie Hannah John Heath-Stubbs Elizabeth Jennings Brigit Pegeen Kelly Mimi Khalvati Thomas Kinsella R. F. Langley Hugh MacDiarmid L ETTER FROM THE E DITOR The connections and disconnections between British and American poetry have been the subject of recent debate, and Carcanet does its bit to keep the channels of transatlantic dialogue open. British poet Tom Raworth is as current in America as here; and American poetry continues to find British readers. John Ashbery for over three decades has been our cynosure; this catalogue features books by Louise Glück and Lucie Brock-Broido too. Canada appears on the Carcanet map, and the Antipodes, long a major concern, are everywhere to be found: Les Murray’s powerful new collection Taller When Prone, Judith Wright’s legendary Selected Poems with a new introduction by John Kinsella, and John Gallas’s Forty Lies re-mark the spot. The Caribbean is voiced in the poems of Kei Miller. Among our British writers, Fiona Sampson’s Rough Music and Elaine Feinstein’s Cities explore new territories, while Robert Saxton brings the ancient world of Hesiod before us. Elsewhere, Philip Terry detonates Shakespeare’s sonnets, disclosing their hitherto secret Oulipian affinities. Peter Sansom is essentialised and Selected; David Morley Enchants.
