摘要

The sonnet is the oldest prescribed form in English poetry, and it has enjoyed an almost uninterrupted popularity from the sixteenth century to the present. In the first half of the twentieth century, the sonnet came under attack from a number of influential poets and critics. Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, William Carlos Williams, and, to a lesser extent, Wallace Stevens all declared that the sonnet was an outmoded, “baneful” form that was unable to meet the poetical demands of the modern age. In spite of these criticisms, the sonnet flourished in the hands of American poets of the period. E A. Robinson, Robert Frost, Edna St. Vincent Millay, E. E. Cummings, among others, all wrote important sonnets, meeting these criticisms of the form by introducing radical new innovations into the sonnet even as they managed to retain many familiar conceits and stylistic features that date back to the English Renaissance. Robinson adapted the sonnet to express narrative rather than lyric conventions, while Frost employed the sonnet to express non-Platonic views of poetic structure and order. Millay combined traditional and modern imagery and diction in her sonnets, while Cummings organized his efforts in the form by techniques that were originally developed for free verse. This thesis explores these and other contributions to the sonnet and the new standards that were set for its subject matter, imagery, language, and structure. By demonstrating the importance of these developments, this study illuminates the formal inventiveness that was so prominent in American poetry during the Modernist era.

Robinson,Robert Frost,Edna St. Vincent Millay和EE Cummings等人都撰写了重要的十四行诗,尽管他们设法保留了许多熟悉的自负和风格,但通过在十四行诗中引入了激进的新创新,迎接了对形式的批评。其功能可以追溯到英国文艺复兴时期。鲁滨逊改编了十四行诗来表达叙事而非抒情惯例,而弗罗斯特则用十四行诗来表达非柏拉图式的诗歌结构和秩序观。米莱在她的十四行诗中结合了传统和现代的意象和辞典,而卡明斯则通过最初为自由诗歌开发的技术以形式组织了他的努力。本文探讨了十四行诗的这些和其他贡献,以及为主题,图像,语言和结构设定的新标准。通过证明这些发展的重要性,本研究阐明了在现代主义时代美国诗歌中如此突出的形式发明。
