The focus of this study is the relationship among three different manuscripts (Modena, Bibl. Estense, MS α.R.4.4; Firenze, Bibl. Laurenziana MS Rediano 9; and London, BL, MS Harley, 2253) and the poetry they transmit. The aim of this research is to show the ways that the Bible was used in the transmission of the lyric poetry in the three literatures that they represent: Occitan (primarily through Marcabru’s songs), Italian (through the love poetry of Guittone d’Arezzo), and Middle English (through the Harley love lyrics and the MS.’s primary scribe), in a medieval European context.

This thesis considers Eliot's critical writing from the late 1910s till the mid-1930s, in the light of his PhD thesis - Knowledge and Experience in the Philosophy of F. H. Bradley - and a range of unpublished material: T S. Eliot's Philosophical Essays and Notes (1913- 4) in the Hayward Bequest (King's College, Cambridge University); T. S. Eliot's Family Papers in the T. S. Eliot Collection at the Houghton Library (Harvard University); and items from the Harvard University Archives at the Pusey Library. 'Me thesis offers a comprehensive view of Eliot's critical development throughout this important period. It starts by considering The Sacred Wood's ambivalence towards the metaphysical philosophy of F. H. Bradley and Eliot's apparent adoption of a scientific method, under the influence of Bertrand Russell. It will be argued that Eliot uses rhetorical strategies which simultaneously subvert the method he is propounding, and which set the tone for an assessment of his criticism throughout the 1920s. His indecision, in this period, about the label 'Metaphysical' for some poets of the seventeenth century, reveals the persistence of the philosophical thought he apparently rejects in 1916, when he chooses not to pursue a career in philosophy in Harvard. This rhetorical tactic achieves its fulfilment in Dante (1929), where Eliot finds a model in the medieval allegorical method and 'philosophical' poetry. Allegory is also examined in connection with the evaluation of Eliot's critical writings themselves to determine, for instance, the figurative dimension of his early scientific vocabulary and uncover metaphysical residues he had explicitly disowned but would later embrace. Finally, it is suggested that, the hermeneutics of allegory are historical and it is used here to test the relationship between Eliot's early and later critical writings, that is the early physics and the later metaphysics.

OF TAFFETA AND SOIL is a collection of poetry unified through images of Argentinean and Floridian soil, flora, and fauna, and by themes of geographic and emotional dislocation, memory, and the quest for home. These images are brought forth in lyrical poems that question the growth and settling of a romantic partnership, domestic turmoil and resolution, and the constant tension between self and community. Mostly written in free verse, the collection also utilizes forms such as prose poem, haiku, and sonnet, for more formal unity. Section one chronicles and explores a romantic relationship through attraction, passion, disappointment, and self-awareness. Section two is a long poem that centers on the speaker’s continuous struggle to come to terms with her present adult life while still remembering and idealizing a homeland. Finally, the collection ends with two sections that work toward self-acceptance, forgiveness, and evolution via community, family, travel and nature.

Les théories poétiques de l’inscape et du sprung rhythm établies par le poète britannique Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889) ont dérouté les critiques des années durant. La plupart d’entre eux se sont appuyés sur les poèmes publiés en quête d’indices quant à la signification de ses théories. Cette thèse approfondit l’analyse mise de l’avant en révélant que la genèse de la théorie de l’inscape provient des notes de Hopkins — alors étudiant de premier cycle — sur le philosophe présocratique Parménide, et est influencée par les commentaires sur l’oeuvre De la nature du philosophe. Un examen des lettres de Hopkins à ses collègues poètes Robert Bridges et Richard Watson Dixon révèle que le sprung rhythm découle de l’inscape, sa théorie de base. La technique du sprung rhythm consiste donc en l’application de l’inscape au schéma métrique de la poésie. Cette étude établit d’abord une définition opérationnelle de chacune de ces théories pour ensuite les appliquer aux manuscrits afin de déterminer dans quelle mesure Hopkins y adhérait et les exploitait lors de la rédaction de deux de ses poèmes canoniques, God’s Grandeur et The Windhover. L’étude s’inscrit ainsi dans le champ de la critique génétique, une approche mise au point en France, particulièrement à l’Institut des textes et manuscrits modernes (ITEM). Ce sont donc sur des oeuvres littéraires françaises ou sur des textes en prose qu’ont porté la majorité des analyses à ce sujet. Suppressions, ajouts, substitutions et constantes entre différentes versions témoignent de ce qu’étaient les priorités de Hopkins dans sa quête pour atteindre l’effet désiré. Par conséquent, cette thèse s’efforce de dévoiler la signification des théories poétiques de Hopkins en établissant leur genèse et leur application respectives dans deux de ses poèmes selon une perspective de critique génétique. Elle contribue également à enrichir la critique génétique en l’appliquant à des oeuvres littéraires écrites en anglais et sous forme de poésie plutôt que de prose. Enfin, son objectif ultime est de raviver l’intérêt pour le poète Hopkins en tant que sujet viable d’étude, et de favoriser l’appréciation de ses prouesses tant comme théoricien poétique que comme poète.

The project is a book collection of 65 poems, primarily with an environmental focus. This practice-led project draws on eco-critical theory (Wilson, 1992; and Bate, 2000) and Darwinian literary theory (Carroll, 2004) to explore ideas of ecology, the ‘natural’, and conservation. The poems explore a proposal of synthesis: that nature is for us both a construction of language/culture (as argued by post structuralism/ cultural studies) and also a pragmatic, empirical entity that can be experienced through the senses as well as through culture. For example, individual poems describe genres of ‘forest’ (‘Literary Forests’, ‘The Conservative Forest’, ‘The Imperial Forest’) which demonstrate how ‘nature’ can be culturally constructed, but also remain an empirical entity with which we experience a more immediate, physical connection, as posited by Bate (following Heidegger’s ‘being-in-the-world’) . The work also explores through satire the concept of evolutionary adaptation, for example the integration of machine into forest (‘The Black Forest’), animals adopting human characteristics (‘In Praise of Bears’), and ‘nature’ as a damaged or absent ‘other’. Without an Alibi makes various strands of theoretical thinking concrete and manifest by ‘showing not telling’, in creative practice. The work has been high positively reviewed in the prestigious Australian Book Review, and by Professor Peter Pierce in the Canberra Times. Several of the poems have since been reproduced in national anthologies including The Penguin Anthology of Australian Poetry (2000) and Australian Poetry Since 1988 (Uni of NSW Press).

Resumen: La poesía es minuciosa: celebra cada pequeño don que constantemente se ofrece; lo rescata, lo menciona. La poesía es también magnánima: canta los secretos vínculos que, en cada cosa, teje a todas en una sola ofrenda donde todo se reúne y alude. La poesía es sabia: pregunta y conoce al ser en sus profundidades, allí desde donde surge y se sostiene cuanto se celebra y canta por medio de la palabra poética; tiene afinidad con él, connaturalidad. La poesía, por fin, es esperanzada y abierta. Ella sabe que tiene un límite, pero que no es una clausura sino un umbral: aguarda y anhela la Palabra, vedada a la pronunciación humana, que sólo puede decirse por sí misma, aquella en la que todo, incluso el ser, tiene su consistencia. La poesía hace silencio y oye, convoca, anhela el Don que desciende y se corporiza. Hasta aquí llega el gran poeta, el hermano mayor. Entre los argentinos, quizás sea Jorge Luis Borges el que mejor adaptó el lenguaje para alcanzar este lugar, el más alto, el que lo torna a uno más cercano al misterio y, a la vez, el mejor testigo de la distancia. De estas materias, que son una sola, está hecha su poesía. Desde lo más frágil y pequeño hasta lo más inmenso y definitivo, pronunciado, encarnado. Por eso aquello de Von Balthasar: La resurrección de la carne da la razón a los poetas.
