------ 书籍简介 ------

The Poetry of Loss Romantic and Contemporary Elegies presents a renewed look at elegy as a long standing tradition in the literature of loss exploring recent shifts in the continuum of these memorial poems This volume investigates the tensions arising in elegiac formulations of grief through detailed analyses of seminal poets including Wordsworth Keats and Plath using psychoanalytic precepts to reconceptualize consolation through poetic strategies of inner representation and what it might mean for personal and collective experiences of loss Tracing the development of elegy beyond extant readings this volume addresses contemporary constructs of mourning and their attendant polemics within the wider culture as extensions of elegiac longings and the tendency to refuse consolation and cede to the endlessness of grief Furthermore this book concludes that contemporary elegies break with conventions of poetic structure and expression rather than the poets seeking resolution to grief through compensation they often find themselves dwelling within the loss rather than externalizing and transcending it The Poetry of Loss Romantic and Contemporary Elegies examines these developing psychoanalytic concepts pertaining to a poetics of loss providing readers with a new appreciation of mourning culture and contemporary attitudes towards grief
