Robert Lowell and the Confessional Voice

Zusatztext

Robert Lowell and the Confessional Voice returns to the poets early works, such as Land of Unlikeness and Lord Wearys Castle, in search of a relationship between Lowells early poetry and his turn to a confessional style of writing in the 1950s. Lowells early poetry is often overshadowed by the emergence of his confessional poetry (that develops in Life Studies; however, instead of Lowells early poetry being eclipsed by Life Studies, a remembrance of his early poetry is necessary as a way of understanding Lowells evolution as a poet. The early poetry provides readers and scholars of Lowell with a Puritan paradigm and the ethos of an American narrative that Lowell never fully abandons but only perpetually deconstructs.
