Alan Shapiro: Convention and Mysticism: Dickinson, Hardy, and Williams (January 2012)

$5.00

“How do we recognize individual talent if not against the backdrop of convention?” asks poet, novelist, and memoirist Alan Shapiro. Using T. S. Eliot’s “Tradition and the Individual Talent” as a framework for his discussion, Shapiro considers the work of leading modernists who were deeply engaged with literary tradition and their individual talents. Among the works examined: Emily Dickinson, Poem 591; Thomas Hardy, “The Oxen”; and William Carlos Williams, “Portrait of a Lady.”
