- W4317368121 abstract "Abstract Chapter 1 argues that the style and structure of aphorisms, whose accomplished rhetorical suaveness allows them to imprint on the mind but quickly slip from it, mirrors an aesthetic which pervades Stevie Smith’s poetry. Smith designs her poems so that the reader cannot absorb or assimilate their content. Through comparison to aphoristic techniques, this chapter examines the passionate rhetorical gestures made by Smith’s poems, where a proposition is announced clearly and insistently. Poems such as ‘Croft’ insist on themselves, yet are self-sufficient: they inhabit the solid shape of a rhetorical position though their content may, despite appearances, be minimal. Revelations are both made and concealed, rooting these dynamics in the aphorism’s promise that absolute truth lies within its boundaries, though the reader inevitably fails to marshal a set of interpretative terms with which to tackle it. Arguing that unsuccessful epiphany is built into the aphorism’s truth-value, the chapter reads Smith’s poems as texts which cannot live up to the extent of the revelation which their forms promised. Both over- and underdetermined, in form and content respectively, they signal that they have power even as they cauterise the interpretative mechanisms which readers might rely on to access that power. Smith’s aphoristic aesthetic allows her to drive towards a model of value which constructs itself in the moments of lapse implicit in the rhythm of aphoristic engagement. Aphorism offers a model of reading which can accommodate illegitimate extremes of feeling, by allowing the reader to depart from them and return as necessary." @default.
