Pages : 448
Book Description
Excerpt from The Letters of Hart Crane, 1916-1932 But far more compelling than distance or propriety as the domi nant force behind Crane's prolific composition of letters was an emotional impulse which drove him to discharge so much expres sive energy in a non-poetic form: his acquisitive need for sympathy, pity, understanding, affection a need accompanied by the be lief that these responses could be evoked with a persuasive explana tion in words. Let us not confuse this poignant situation with dis honesty or a huckster's fraudulency. Crane was, after all, a poet to whom language was paramount. The outcome was that even those of his letters which had been intended as geographical bridges, or as duties, speedily found themselves converted into detailed and nu inhibited recitations and exhortations. Examining the letters to his mother in this light, to choose one instance, we can-understand why, despite the profound mutual misunderstanding of which each was aware, Crane persisted in alternately cajoling, threatening, and in forming a basically-unresponsive correspondent.

Epic of the Dispossessed
Author: Robert D. Hamner
Publisher: University of Missouri Press
ISBN: 9780826211521
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
Hamner describes Omeros as an epic of the dispossessed because each of its protagonists is a castaway in one sense or another. Regardless of whether their ancestry is traced to the classical Mediterranean, Europe, Africa, or confined to the Americas, they are transplanted individuals whose separate quests all center on the fundamental human need to strike roots in a place where one belongs.
