摘要

米娜·洛伊的自传体诗《盎格鲁-杂种与玫瑰》和c·戴·刘易斯的《从羽毛到钢铁》都认识到了史诗的意义，但没有复制史诗叙事的传统。在某种程度上，两者的史诗品质来自于它们对史诗尺度作为人类行为背景的描述或暗示。在许多科学中都发现了不熟悉的尺度，天文学和宇宙学在20世纪早期最为突出。本文考虑了洛伊的科学措辞和戴·刘易斯在a.s.爱丁顿和詹姆斯·金斯的通俗科学和天文学著作中的来源。

Wide horizons: science and epic in Mina Loy’s ‘Anglo-Mongrels and the Rose’ and C. Day Lewis’s From Feathers to Iron

ABSTRACT Both Mina Loy’s autobiographical poem ‘Anglo-Mongrels and the Rose’ and C. Day Lewis’s From Feathers to Iron are cognizant of epic without reproducing the conventions of epic narrative. In part, the epic quality of both comes from their depiction or implication of epic scales as a backdrop for human action. Unfamiliar scales were found in many sciences, with astronomy and cosmology being the most prominent in the early twentieth century. The essay considers Loy’s scientific diction and Day Lewis’s sources in popular science and astronomy works by A. S. Eddington and James Jeans.
