 | | Questions concerning religion, philosophy, and language, especially poetic language, will be raised, and eclectic reference to philosophical enquiries concurrent with or bearing closely on the poetry will be made (eg to Nietzsche, Bradley, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Derrida, and more generally to currents in existentialist, phenomenological, and deconstructionist thinking). |
 | | More specific issues, such as the autotelism and "negative theology" of art, the universal Book, Orphic experience and expression, poetic impersonality and "negative capability", and the possibility or otherwise of post-Holocaust poetry, will also be addressed. |
 | | The texts will be studied in English, but where appropriate the use of bilingual editions will be encouraged and there will be emphasis on close attention to the text. |
