Les stratégies poétiques du refus de vieillir dans « Ulysses » de Tennyson by Jean-Charles Perquin

“…From « Ulysses », written in 1833, to In Memoriam and « Tithonius », respectively published in 1850 and 1859, to the final version of « Tiresias », published in 1885, Tennyson’s literary career seems to have been guided by a source of inspiration mainly influenced by elegy. « Ulysses » of course belongs to that vein, even though the soliloquy has too often been considered the Victorian model of courage and heroism. The poem should also be read in the light of elegy, especially if we take into the account Arthur Hallam’s death in September 1833, and we should also focus on the numerous indices of irony that appear in the soliloquy, as Tennyson’s oblique intrusions in a complex, unexpected act of poetic speech.…”

(Women Writing) The Modernist Line by Cristanne Miller

“…The crucial moves away from Whitman’s nineteenth-century aesthetic had to do with the line as seen, as independent of syntax and meter, as restructuring the possibilities of rhyme, and as a unit in tension with other aspects of form, narrative, and voice in a poem. In the hands of these women, the modernist line had appeared in almost every radical configuration of high modernism by the end of 1917. …”

« La bru Gemotsang s’est fait teindre en blond » by Françoise Robin

“…This article explores how an attentive reading of contemporary Tibetan literature makes it possible to describe the evolutions of female hairstyles and, by extension, the socioeconomic upheavals affecting today’s Tibetan young women. By examining a poem, “The Gemotsang Daughter-in-Law Got Her Hair Dyed Blonde” by Chen Metak (2012), we see how the apparently trivial theme of the dying of the hair of a young woman who goes into the city has a sideration effect on the inhabitants of a village. …”
