- W4313353910 abstract "The chapter reads Merwin’s achievement in The Folding Cliffs against the etiolated literary epic tradition of the late twentieth century, on the one hand, and the critical framing of epic as the genre of imperialistic triumph of the victors in war in such influential accounts as David Quint’s Epic and Empire, on the other. Restoring the complexities of oral tradition with the full theoretical sophistication of complex documentary techniques reminiscent of W.G. Sebald’s fiction, Merwin draws elegiac attention to the dignity and heroism of indigenous Hawaiian culture even as he elegizes the ecosystems in which it thrived. Merwin’s poem therefore extends Pound’s maxim that epic in the modern era must be “a poem including history” into a poem including ecohistory as a part of his larger protest against the exploitation and expropriation of Hawaiian resources through American imperialism and evangelistic exceptionalism. Merwin’s epic of dispossession reinvents the epic tradition and thereby challenges literary-historical assumptions about the nature of American culture, its local habitation and name, and the grand narratives it employs to justify its destructive attitudes toward aboriginal cultures, the biosphere, and even the literary forebears it misappropriates from Homer onward." @default.
