Sensory Imagery And Aesthetic Affect In The Poetry Of Keats, Hopkins, And Eliot, Clare Louis Gerlach
Sensory Imagery And Aesthetic Affect In The Poetry Of Keats, Hopkins, And Eliot, Clare Louis Gerlach
UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones
This dissertation focuses on applying a new method of analysis to selected works by three major poets, John Keats, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and T. S. Eliot. The project considers their work in light of recent scholarship by Charles Altieri on the affects, such as emotion, feelings, passion, and mood; how these affects operate in artistic works; and, specifically, examines how these authors employ the affects in their poetry to express their own emotions and, in the creation of lyric poems, turn these emotions into works of art. In addition, the project strengthens the aesthetic readings with a study of the …

The world is various, and in terms of form, the poems in this book are rangy: sonnets, prose poems, serial fragments, free verse tercets, measured and rhymed tercets, couplets, over-the-top monuments to generation by rhyme. Unconventional use of white-space occurs fairly frequently. My thought is that having breaks in articulation in two places, not just the end of …
