Writing against what she saw as 1930s New Zealand's attempts to imitate English culture and poetry, Hyde presents Romanticism as individual voices coming together to share their experiences of the country. This could lead New Zealand towards a new, post-colonial, national voice.","PeriodicalId":374258,"journal":{"name":"The Cambridge Quarterly","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116470111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The poem has long been recognised an important - if minor - composition, usually because of the (limited but persuasive) evidence it provides of Swift's views on the Test Act. However, the poem has rarely received any sustained close-reading which attends to its rhetorical strategies, its peculiar verbal behaviour, or inner networks of literary allusion. Such a reading proves that this is one of Swift's most compelling and complex poems.","PeriodicalId":374258,"journal":{"name":"The Cambridge Quarterly","volume":"598 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133341946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Part of the point, however, is that poems, as Vincent recognises, also offer modes of thinking firmly resistant to this kind of analysis. Crucially, ‘Ars’ concludes with a return to the first person singular, an ‘I’ which is not necessarily a ‘we’. At stake in the poem may be an underlying ‘exemplary’ method, a form which reaches outward to a wider public.

As Powell himself admits in his conclusion, his book has produced ‘a Beckett that is heavily concerned with the responses of his audience’ (p. 180). Beckett’s interest, however, did not extend to any kind of evaluation of how audiences responded to his works, and Powell’s book likewise does not include much description of how actual audiences reacted to specific performances. Incorporating analyses of concrete reactions of Beckett audiences in different historical settings would have added an interesting dimension to the book. This would arguably have necessitated a different theoretical framework at odds with the book’s main project though (aside from the question of the availability of sources). All in all, however, Samuel Beckett and Experimental Psychology succeeds in offering a more precise and nuanced understanding of the term ‘experimental’ with regard to literature, as well as compelling new contexts for thinking about Beckett’s work.","PeriodicalId":374258,"journal":{"name":"The Cambridge Quarterly","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122348887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In its fantasy of music unbound by distinctions of taste, Trilby celebrates an affective experience in which reproducibility is the keynote.
