Thu., Mar. 17, 2016, 5:15 – 7:15 p.m.
“Early English Meter as a Way of Thinking”
>From Chaucer’s pentameter to the alliterative meter of Beowulf and Piers Plowman, prosody in medieval England was a cultural practice and a technical skill. Following Simon Jarvis in understanding “poetry as cognition,” this talk explores the particular kind of thinking done by and through early English meter. Attention to the historicity of meter is one way out of the 21st-century paradox whereby poetry seems both all-important and obsolescent.
