Search for Origins in the Twentieth-Century Long Poem: Sumerian, Homeric, Anglo-Saxon

Joe Moffett

4.9/5 (18099 ratings)

Description:In this new scholarly work--an ambitious study of contemporary poetics--Joe W. Moffett deciphers the twentieth-century long poem, searching for a better understanding of why long-poem writers are preoccupied with a search for origins. Moffett focuses on issues like postcolonialism, modernism, post-modernism, and nation. He conceptualizes his theories by using what he calls "originiary moments": historical periods or specific events from which a poet contends our culture descends. These moments enlighten and inspire the modern poet to use origin or "source" as a way to examine present culture and social conditions. The poems also encourage modern readers to question, revise, and repudiate. Moffett organizes his argument by arranging specific examples into three categories of originiary moments: Sumerian, Homeric, and Anglo-Saxon. According to Moffett, the long poem is appealing because it "lacks strict conventions that govern other genres." Using a wide variety of poems to support his arguments, Moffett asks many stimulating questions and also provides provocative answers.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
