You > can also unsubscribe at http://virgil.org/mantovano/mantovano.htm#unsub Sur l'amicale provocation de Robert Dyer, je dirai mon propre mot au sujet de cette intéressante pièce du dossier qu'est la lecture de Stroh. Je la trouve très décevante, et je partage certaines critiques qui lui ont été adressées sur cette liste. L'exemple que prend R.D. montre combien il est difficile d'arriver à une lecture rigoureuse et artistique en même temps. Stroh a montré, dans ses textes théoriques, la lourdeur de la lecture "ictuelle" et son faible respect de la finesse poétique, mais il semble avoir du mal à se défaire d'une lecture mécanique --- To leave the Mantovano mailing list at any time, do NOT hit reply.

VIRGIL: recent discussions

I quite agree, Robert, and I'm wondering if it has something to do with the subject matter. Over the last year, I've noticed a revival of interest in specifically literary subjects, both in myself and in my students. When I say "literary," I don't necessarily mean "canonical," either. (Though I _was_ surprised at the number of people who showed up for my Milton seminar.) There is a growing hunger, though, to know what a line of verse sounds like, to feel--as it were--the shape of a poem. A few years ago, it seemed to me that the key to understanding poetry better was to read more history. Given what I knew about history when I graduated from an American university, that was probably true! Now, though, I find myself reading books and articles on prosody and poetic diction. Perhaps this just means I'm recovering from grad school. But I think there are larger forces involved -- and not just in English departments, either. --- David Wilson-Okamurahttp://virgil.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] Macalester College Virgil Tradition: discussion, bibliography, &c. --- --- To leave the Mantovano mailing list at any time, do NOT hit reply.
