Subject description

The subject Crítica Anglosajona emerges from the fact that the history of English literature swarms with great writers who have also been great critics. Not only have they reflected on literature as a social, cultural and aesthetic phenomenon, but they have also expressed critical opinions on their own literary practice as well as on that by contemporaries and earlier writers, thus frequently contributing to the modification of the canon or the literary taste of a period. One can think, for instance, of Sir Philip Sidney, Ben Jonson, John Dryden, Alexander Pope, doctor Johnson, William Wordsworth, Samuel T. Coleridge, Matthew Arnold, William B. Yeats, Virginia Woolf, Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, etc. As it is impossible to cover all these names in a six-credit subject, I have chosen to focus on some great writer-critics of the transition between the 19th and the 20th centuries. Therefore, we will study the critical ideas of Matthew Arnold, Ezra Pound, and T. S. Eliot, though close attention will also be paid to New Criticism, a powerful critical movement developed in the wake of Eliot's early views and whose remote ancestor is Matthew Arnold and his clairvoyant aspirations to critical objectivity.

Aims

By the end of the first semester students of Crítica Anglosajona should have achieved the following aims:

(a) They should be familiar with the ideas and methods of a set of choice English writer-critics and critical movements of the transition between the 19th and the 20th centuries ¿oas listed above¿o as well as with their cultural and intellectual background and later influence. An effort will be made to relate literary achievements and critical positions and beliefs whenever this relation seems relevant.

(b) They should be able to recognize the ideological, philosophical, aesthetic, and methodological features of a critical text, showing themselves capable of ascribing it to a particular critic or movement within the temporal and cultural limits established in the previous section. It is expected that this skill will also improve the student's capacity to extract meaning from complex texts in other intellectual areas.


Continguts teòrics i pràctics (2009-10)
1. Matthew Arnold and the Victorian Era ---- Art as social and ethical reformation. Literature as a substitute of religion. The critical theory of the "touchstones." Poetry as a criticism of life: from literary criticism to social criticism.

2. Ezra Pound and Avant-Garde Poetics ---- The supersession of the Victorian literary ideology in England: Imagism, Vorticism, and Modernism. Ezra Pound as a first-rate innovator. The relative values of literary creation and literary criticism. The dual role of literary criticism according to Pound: teaching and discriminating. The atemporal and cosmopolitan nature of poetry. Verbal austerity, visual precision, and the concept of "image."

3. T. S. Eliot and the Emergence of a New Criticism ---- Eliot's influence on the 20th-century literary taste and canon. The idea of poetic impersonality and the creative process. The unification and dissociation of sensibility. Belief and ideology in literature and criticism. Common speech as the staple of new poetry. The "objective correlative." The atemporal conception of literary tradition. Eliot as a forerunner of New Criticism.

4. American New Criticism and Its British Allies ---- The English roots of American New Criticism. Practical critics and new critics. The pedagogic dimension of the New Criticism as a key to its protracted influence. Literary programme and political programme: triumphs and failures. A-historicism and textualism: the New Criticism as a text-centred critical school. The four fallacies of traditional criticism. The heresy of paraphrase and the organic conception of the literary work. The new critical vocabulary.

Metodologia docent (2009-10)
Classes teòriques i pràctiques
There will be three one-hour group meetings held weekly for lectures and discussion of critical texts. Ideally, students are expected to have read the set readings before discussion occurs. Background information and specific contents will be addressed first by means of lectures; then critical writings will be analyzed in order to establish a network of meaningful relationships between these writings and the theoretical contents of a particular lesson. Students are expected to participate actively, and this participation will influence the final mark. These activities will take 4,5 of the credits officially allotted to the subject.


Tipus d'activitats: teòriques i pràctiques
Treballs bibliogràfics
The remaining 1,5 credits will be devoted to individual work. Apart from the set readings, students will be asked to read essays and book chapters closely related to the lessons on the syllabus or to complementary material, and write a report on them. The assignment of these specific readings and the assessment of the progress made by students will be carried out on an individual basis in tutorial time.
