And to particular poems, Lindenburg refers as follows: Ingrid Jonker se waardevolle bydrae tot die Afrikaanse letterkunde berus uiteindelik op enkele gedigte uit Rook en Oker: In a later edition of Perspektief en Profiel, S. Malherbe in Die Huisgenoot and the other written by E. These reviews are mostly positive regarding the collection of poetry, and Van Zuydam highlights the fact that both critics also acknowledged that the poems in Rook en Oker reflect Jonker s own voice, which they viewed as an encouraging development in the poet s work. The selection of Jonker poems, therefore, also serves to demonstrate the acknowledged growth and maturity of the poet.

All of the abovementioned reasons make the selection of poems worthy of a close reading and I believe that a comparison of these specific poems, reflecting the authors capabilities as poets, might complement and bring about more of an understanding as to Page New Criticism is a movement which began after World War I with the critical work of modern poets and critics, in particular T. Richards, and then later on, John Crowe Ransom, reaching its full expression almost 30 years later in the work of academic critics, such as Rene Wellek, W.

Wimsatt, and Cleanth Brooks. Within the history of literary theory, New Criticism shares some similarities with Russian Formalism. Abrams and Harpham It also, like European formalism, conceives poetry as a special mode of language whose distinctive features are defined in terms of their systematic opposition to practical or scientific language. Unlike European formalism, however, the New Critics did not apply the science of linguistics to poetry, and their emphasis was not on a work as constituted by linguistic devices for achieving specifically literary effects, but on the complex interplay within a work of ironic, paradoxical, and metaphoric meanings around a humanly important theme.

There are two lasting contributions of New Criticism to the theory of literature. Firstly, and I cannot stress the importance of it enough, because it asks the reader to interact with the text itself, the New Criticism encouraged and framed the practice of close reading. As Leroy Searle states Secondly, New Criticism emphasised irony in poetic texts.

The New Critic definition of irony in poetry is as follows: In the irony of both statement and event there is an element of contrast.

Either form of irony, or both, may appear in a poem But the irony of statement, and of tone and attitude, are [sic] more important for poetry [than the irony of event or situation]. The successful management of ironical effects is one of the most difficult problems of a poet Brooks and Warren, It is to this ironic inclusion of opposed attitudes that the New Critic generally refers in speaking of a literary work s maturity.

Continuing with a definition of New Critic terms, another quote by Cleanth Brooks One means by it [structure] something far more internal than the metrical pattern, say, or than the sequence of images. The structure meant is certainly not form in the conventional sense in which we think of form as a kind of envelope which contains the content. The structure obviously is everywhere conditioned by the nature of the material which goes into the poem. The nature of the material sets the problem to be solved, and the solution is the ordering of the material.

What I propose to do is to explore the ordered material or intratextual relations of the selected poems and, in so doing, discover their communication to the reader. In exploring the said poems, I will consider poetic devices such as rhythm, metre, typography, metaphor, tension, irony, and sound, and determine how all of these convey the communication of each poem, as it is the interaction of poetic devices that forms an organic whole, according to the New Critics. Pro and Contra The first objection is that it is an arcane aestheticism interested only in art for art s sake, which excludes the consideration of human experience and the social impact of literature.

Thirdly, New Criticism s approach to criticism is seen as wanting to achieve a scientific state of explanation when it comes to interpreting art.

Versamelde werke (Afrikaans Edition): Ingrid Jonker: www.farmersmarketmusic.com: Books

One may raise doubts as Wimsatt has about the metaphor of organism if it is pushed too far in application to a work of art, but there seems to me a simple truth in the old view that a successful work of art is a whole in which the parts collaborate and modify one another. Wellek continued by stating that [b]oth Brooks and Ransom uphold a version of imitation, of mimesis. Brooks asserts that the poem, if it is a true poem, is a simulacrum of reality Well Wrought Urn [New York, ], p.

It is rendered coherent through a perspective of valuing Literary Criticism [New York, ], pp. Brooks, then, did not ignore reality or human experience in poetry, but acknowledged that the poem communicates something of reality, something of human experience this may also be referred to as the context in which it was written and which it reveals. The context in which the poem was written, then, forms one part of the interpretation and the exploration of the parts that work together to form a specific organic whole in art.

It is not simply interested in art for art s sake, but also very much interested in what art communicates about the human experience. In terms of this first objection to New Criticism, a well-known phrase by Cleanth Brooks, the heresy of paraphrase has received much criticism as well. Heresy of paraphrase is the phrase that Brooks used to express his disagreement with the reduction of a work of art to a simple statement of abstract suggestions, or to an ethical message, or even to any literal truth that can be confirmed.

It is important to note, however, that his intentions with this phrase were not to say that the paraphrase itself is pointless or unhelpful; rather, he asserted that the paraphrase or interpretation should not take Page The paraphrase should not be the final say on the work of art. This is a view with which I agree. For him, such an approach would detract from the work of art and its communication simplify it unfairly. Asserting, for example, that everything which Jonker or Plath ever wrote was feminist in nature would be an unreasonable and untruthful simplification of their work.

By underscoring the seemingly fictional aspect of art via the exploration of its parts in order to gain a greater understanding of the whole, it does not follow automatically that one does not acknowledge art s relationship to reality or to its specific context, but rather that one acknowledges that each work of art has its own voice worthy of exploration.

As already indicated, the New Critic is not completely ignorant of history or context. I believe that the New Critic is aware of this and that the aim of New Criticism, or any person associated with the theory, is not to disprove such a statement. My intentions, in regard to my subject matter, are certainly not to ignore the outside world in which the selected poems were written.

Indeed, with my biographical comparison of the lives of Jonker and Plath, I acknowledge that a poem is written in a certain context and not in a vacuum. What I propose, however, is that when it comes to the interpretation of poetry or any artwork the poem artwork itself should in all cases be the critic s point of departure. In regard to this, I am aligned with the New Critic approach that seeks to interpret the structure of the poem and to explore all the parts of the poem all the devices used in order to form the specific whole.

I quote from Wellek s article It points to or may point to an object in the outside world and at the same time is part of a sentence, of a phonemic and syntactical system, of a language code. The parallel to painting is obvious: In addressing the third objection to New Criticism, that it is seen as wanting to achieve a scientific state of explanation when it comes to interpreting art, Wellek states, [c]riticism cannot be neutral scientism: This perhaps illustrates the singlemindedness or commitment with which the New Critic seeks to engage and explore a poem.

This view is one that is very different from the way that science is viewed. Ransom, Tate, Blackmur, Winters, and Burke had developed their theories of poetry and their general point of view long before they engaged in anything like close reading. For Ransom and Tate, the truths of science are in fact only half-truths, abstractions made for the purposes of instrumental control and thus showing us their objects in only one dimension; poetry gives us knowledge, and of a fuller three-dimensional kind that preserves the particularity of its objects.

Poetry is often rather complex and the point of using a New Critic approach is not to reduce a poem to its various parts, although an analysis may appear to do so, but rather to acknowledge the complexities of a poem via the exploration of the various parts that make up its whole, and how they work together to form the whole.

In doing so, the beauty of the work of art is acknowledged, and the artwork is perhaps understood a little better. During my analysis of each poem, I explore the parts of the poem that make up the whole, which may appear to be a reduction to its various parts, but I seek to continually, throughout each analysis, show how the parts work together to form the whole. Some would argue that applying one analytical formula to all poems will result in the interpretation of the communication of the poems being the same with every analysis.

The various interpretations of a single poem that do exist, however, contradict this notion. For my part, what I find valuable in the New Critic approach is the disciplined Page If art reflects life s complexity, then art s complexity in its communication cannot be ignored, and this is something which all the New Critics seem to have kept firmly in mind. The desire to understand the artwork s meaning, and the meaning itself, should not be undermined by simplifying it when it comes to interpretation by the reader.

In response to the last objection consistently raised against New Critic interpretation, that it is merely a theory of instructive or educational value to those learning to read poetry, Wellek The aim is understanding, interpretation [. In Wellek s The New Critics have also persuasively described the function of literature in not yielding abstract knowledge or information, message or stated ideology, and they have devised a technique of interpretation which often succeeded in illuminating not so much the form of a poem as the implied attitudes of the author, the resolved or unresolved tensions and contradictions: This extract by David Robey Yet there are good reasons for continuing to read the New Critics' work.

At the very least they are interesting because they formulated a number of assumptions about literature and literary study that still play a significant part in the academic world today. More importantly, their work still has considerable validity as a theoretical alternative to Formalism and structuralism, an alternative which may Page Two Views of a Cadaver Room by Sylvia Plath In this activity, your students will be inspired by artwork and will compose a poem that imitates Plath s format of a poem in two clearly marked sections.
