POETRY OR POÉSIE? DAVID GASCOYNE’S “CONCEPT OF POETRY AS A VEHICLE FOR THE EXPRESSION OF SPIRITUAL ACTIVITY”
Journal Title: ІНОЗЕМНА ФІЛОЛОГІЯ - Year 2017, Vol 130, Issue
Abstract
The paper seeks to provide a short introduction to the understanding of the nature, the role and the scope of poetry found in David Gascoyne’s écriture. It presents the main features of poetry construed not as a craft, nor merely as a means of expression, but as an authentic spiritual activity (another notion of capital importance for the English poet’s writings which constitutes a subject of the paper), and contextualizes it with a brief analysis of what is the main influence on David Gascoyne’s thought in this respect – that is to say, the dadaist and surrealist theories of poetry as espoused by André Breton – as well as with what the English poet regards as the crucial difference between the specifically “English” definition of poetry and that which, he argues, has come to be meant by poésie in France. The present paper focuses on the self-decentring and self-transcending character of the kind of poetry/poésie David Gascoyne self-avowedly practices and endorses.
