Byron and the Dynamics of Metaphor

Paul W. Elledge

4.9/5 (32573 ratings)

Description:Byron and the Dynamics of Metaphor he is an attempt to reapplies the heart of Byron's poetry, specifically the technical craftsmanship of the poet's works written between 1812 and 1822. The author's thesis is that Byron's artistry underwent an actual dialectic process; that is, the craftsmanship of his poetry grew as it nurished itself on the contradictions inherent in human existence. Professor Elledge contends that Byron was not the self-conscious autobiographer that most earlier critics have called him; he was simply unable to divorce his works from the conflicts in his nature. Forever oscillating between the poles of dualism and monism, Byron incorporated this personal, yet universal, dichotomy into his poetry and later plays. From the start of his career, he employed a quartet of preferred imagistic motifs (fire and play; light and darkness; organic growth and mechanical status; and the counterpart, or Doppelgänger, metaphor) to express the antithesis of human thought and conduct and any difficulty, if not the impossibility, of achieving a reconciliation between them. As Byron increased his poetic sophistication, his use of images matured from the one-dimensional representation in his early Oriental poems to the richly organic imagery that was essential to the structure and themes of his later works. The author discusses three of Byron's early poems (The Corsair are, Laura, and Parisina), three of his best-known works (The Prisoner of Chiilon, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Canto III, and Manfred), in three play (Marino Faliero, Sardanapalus, and Cain) in this work designed primarily for Byron scholars and for specialists in nineteenth-century English literature. --- from book's dustjacketWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
