Produktbeschreibung
This book refigures the significance of childhood in 19th-century English poetry. By theorizing infancy as a poetics as well as a space of continual beginning, Ruderman shows how it allowed poets access to inchoate, uncanny, and mutable forms of subjectivity and art. It draws on new formalist and psychoanalytic perspectives to rethink familiar concepts such as immortality, the sublime, and the death drive, and genres such as the pastoral, the ode, and the ballad. It explores poetic experimentation and infancy in both canonical and other writers, analyzing moments of tenderness or mourning, birth or death, physical or mental illness, when infancy is analogized, eulogized, or theorized.
