The Witness of Morality": a Study of Auden's Poetics
by Cai Haiyan
About This Novel
This book strives to present the style of Auden's poetics in a comprehensive and three-dimensional way, to show how the poet continued to respond to the outside world through his own in-depth thinking and active exploration against the changing historical background, and to examine the subtle relationship between the poet and himself, society and the art of poetry, thereby revealing the way a poet intervenes in society and the times, as well as the poetic issues and poetic path choices he faces subsequently. The discussion in the main part of this book is divided into two relatively independent but interrelated aspects: "the ideological genealogy of Auden's poetics" and "the artistic ethics of Auden's poetics". "The Ideological Genealogy of Auden's Poetics" mainly examines the complex origins between Auden and mainstream social thoughts from the perspective of influence research, and finds clues to his highly personalized acceptance, absorption and transformation of these thoughts. "The Artistic Ethics of Auden's Poetics" mainly focuses on Auden's literary career and poetic views, comprehensively analyzes the context of subjective and objective factors such as poetic tradition, creative environment and artistic ideals in the formation of his poetics, and reveals Auden's examination and elucidation of poetic ethics.
