| Popis: | For both Edward Thomas and Robert Frost, the interdependence of the human and material worlds is a form of co-creation in which human activity is crucial. Rather than the poets “anticipating” later theory, however, it may be truer to say that Thomas, Frost and contemporary theorists are entangled in one another. I argue here for an affinity between new materialist accounts of emergent interdependence and the way language is used in poetry. Thomas and Frost illustrate that affinity and suggest some of its implications. Moreover, these qualities in their poetic use of language are not unique to poetry but draw on aspects of language in general—aspects which the new materialism is likely to bring forward, although currently it tends to ignore them. |
