William Empson Livres

    William Empson fut un critique littéraire et poète anglais, célèbre pour sa lecture attentive et rigoureuse des œuvres littéraires qui a profondément influencé les Nouveaux Critiques. Son approche critique, souvent remarquable pour son esprit et son excentricité, lui a valu des éloges en tant que "critique de génie", tout en suscitant la controverse pour ses interprétations parfois perverses. Le style énergique et non conventionnel d'Empson rend son œuvre essentielle à lire pour son impact unique et son importance durable dans la critique littéraire.

      4,0(59)Évaluer

      Some Versions of Pastoral is considered a landmark of modern literary criticism. Mr. Empson sees the pastoral convention as including not only poems of shepherd life but any work "about the people but not by or for" them. Finding examples in the writing of every country and century, from Mencius to William Faulkner or Céline, he concentrates on an analysis of certain works and forms in English literature, several of them, like Alice in Wonderland , Troilus and Cressida , and proletarian novels not traditionally considered pastoral. His chapter on Milton and Bentley is a precursor of Mr. Empson’s 1961 book, Milton’s God . With virtuoso clarity and perception throughout he brings the student to a new awareness of hidden values in individual works and to the creative possibilities of the language.

      Empson has long been applauded for the dazzling intelligence and emotional passion of his poems. Praised in his lifetime by the likes of T.S. Eliot, Dylan Thomas and John Betjeman, his reputation contines to be high. His poems take a wide range of themes from metaphysics to melancholy, social climbing to political satire, and from love to loss. schovat popis
