About This Book
A collection of critical essays offers close readings of fellow writers, most notably a sustained analysis of Kosztolányi's poem about the poor little child, interpreting its symbolic and metaphysical outlook. The author examines how childhood perception, memory and desire reshape present reality, how images and synesthetic metaphors fuse inner and outer worlds, and how the poems pursue panteistic and transcendent meanings. Formal qualities such as tonal control, image orchestration and the poet's deliberate avoidance of mere impressionism are discussed alongside themes of nostalgia, fear and exaltation, resulting in a measured appraisal of the poet's aesthetic position and artistic development.
