Ebook: Luis Cernuda and the modern english poets: a study of the influence of Browing, Yeats and Eliot on his poetry
Author: Browning Robert, Cernuda Luis, Hughes Brian
Though several generations of critics have reported finding English influences in the poetry of Luis Cernuda, no detailed or systematic study of the question has yet been undertaken. This book tackles the issue, concentrating on the traces in Cernudas work of three major English language poets: Robert Browning, W. B. Yeats and T. S. Eliot. Hughes takes us through a wide selection of the poetry Cernuda wrote in exile which he holds to be the best and most significant work in support of his argument that Cernudas conception of poetry underwent a radical reorganisation as a result of his absorption of certain of the techniques of his models. Brownings influence, it is argued, is noticeable chiefly in prosodic features and in the use of the persona, Yeatss is principally thematic, and Eliots is in some ways the most pervasive, since it affects Cernudas style and phrasing.
